• Contingent Liability Where we effect or arrange a Transaction, you should note that, depending upon the nature of the Transaction, you may be liable to make further payments when the Transaction fails to be completed or upon the earlier settlement or closing out of your position. You may be required to make further variable payments by way of margin against the purchase price of the investment, instead of paying (or receiving) the whole purchase (or sale) price immediately. The movement in the market price of your investment will affect the amount of margin payment you will be required to make. You need to monitor your margin levels on a daily basis. You agree to pay us on demand such sums by way of margin as are required from time to time as we may in our discretion reasonably require for the purpose of protecting ourselves against loss or risk of loss on present, future or contemplated Transactions under this Agreement. Please note that in the event that you fail to meet a margin call, we may immediately close out the position. Margin must be paid in cash in currency acceptable by us, as requested from time to time by the Company. Cash Margin paid to us is held as client money in accordance with the requirements of the Client Money Rules. Margin deposits shall be made by wire transfer, credit card, e-wallet or by such other means as The Company may direct. If there is an Event of Default or this Agreement terminates, we shall set-off the balance of cash margin owed by us to you against your obligations (as reasonably valued by us). The net amount, if any, payable between us following such set-off, shall take into account the Liquidation Amount payable under Clause 15 (Netting). You agree to execute such further documents and to take such further steps as we may reasonably require perfecting our security interest over and obtain legal title to the Secured Obligations. You undertake neither to create nor to have outstanding any security interest whatsoever over, nor to agree to assign or transfer, any of the cash margin transferred to us, except a lien routinely imposed on all securities in a clearing system in which such securities may be held. In addition, and without prejudice to any rights to which we may be entitled under this Agreement or any Applicable Regulations, we shall have a general lien on all cash held by us or our Associates or our nominees on your behalf until the satisfaction of the Secured Obligations.

• Permitted Contingent Obligations Contingent Obligations (a) arising from endorsements of Payment Items for collection or deposit in the Ordinary Course of Business; (b) arising from Hedging Agreements permitted hereunder; (c) existing on the Closing Date, and any extension or renewal thereof that does not increase the amount of such Contingent Obligation when extended or renewed; (d) incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business with respect to surety, appeal or performance bonds, or other similar obligations; (e) arising from customary indemnification obligations in favor of purchasers in connection with dispositions of Equipment permitted hereunder; (f) arising under the Loan Documents; (g) guaranties of Permitted Debt; or (h) in an aggregate amount of $250,000 or less at any time.

• Current Liabilities Current Liabilities means the aggregate amount of all current liabilities as determined in accordance with GAAP, but in any event shall include all liabilities except those having a maturity date which is more than one year from the date as of which such computation is being made.

• Default Liabilities 11.1 The Parties agree and acknowledge that, in the event that a Party (the “Defaulting Party”) substantially violates any of the agreements hereunder or fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder substantially, it shall constitute a default under this Agreement (the “Default”). The non-defaulting party (the “Non-defaulting Party”) shall be entitled to request the Defaulting Party to rectify the Default or take remedial measures within a reasonable period. In the event that the Defaulting Party fails to rectify the Default or take remedial measures within a reasonable period or within ten (10) days after a written notice sent by the Non-defaulting Party to the Defaulting Party requesting for the rectification, and if the Defaulting Party is Party A, the Non-defaulting Party shall be entitled to determine, at its sole discretion, to: (1) terminate this Agreement and request the Defaulting Party to indemnify all losses incurred by the Non-defaulting Party, or (2) request the Defaulting Party to continue to perform its obligations hereunder and indemnify all losses incurred by the Non-defaulting Party; if the Defaulting Party is Party B, the Non-defaulting Party shall be entitled to request the Defaulting Party to continue to perform its obligations hereunder and to indemnify all losses incurred by the Non-defaulting Party. 11.2 The Parties agree and acknowledge that Party A shall not request to terminate this Agreement for any reasons under any circumstances, except otherwise required under the law or under this Agreement. 11.3 Notwithstanding any other provisions hereunder, this Article XI shall survive the suspension or termination of this Agreement.

• Excluded Assets and Liabilities The list of Assets described in this Agreement as being purchased is exclusive and the Parties agree that all remaining assets of ESSI and/or Seller are not to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement and shall be Excluded Assets. It is further agreed that in acquiring the Assets, Buyer is not assuming or undertaking to assume and shall have no responsibility for any liabilities whether fixed or contingent, past, present or future, or direct or indirect, arising out of or in connection with the Assets, or any other acts or omissions of ESSI and/or Seller in connection therewith prior to the Closing (collectively referred to as the "Excluded Liabilities"), including without limitation, (i) any claim arising out of or in connection with the failure by ESSI or Seller to comply with any applicable government regulation; (ii) federal, state or local tax liabilities (including any depreciation, investment tax credit recapture and rollback taxes); (iii) any claim arising out of or in connection with any Employee Plans of ESSI or Seller or with the employment by ESSI or Seller of any of its employees or any past employees or with the termination of any current employees; (iv) any claim resulting from defective products or workmanship (including any recalls or returns with respect thereto) related to goods or services invoiced prior to Closing; (v) any claim arising from environmental liabilities, and (vi) any claim under any provision of the New York Uniform Commercial Code or bulk sales law.

THE BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS CONSPICUOUS.

• Excluded Expenditures The Recipient undertakes that the proceeds of the Financing shall not be used to finance Excluded Expenditures. If the Association determines at any time that an amount of the Financing was used to make a payment for an Excluded Expenditure, the Recipient shall, promptly upon notice from the Association, refund an amount equal to the amount of such payment to the Association. Amounts refunded to the Association upon such request shall be cancelled.

• Company Indebtedness The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, timely deliver all notices and take all other administrative actions required to facilitate (i) the termination of commitments, repayment in full of all outstanding loans or other obligations, release of any Liens securing such loans or obligations and guarantees in connection therewith, and replacement of or cash collateralization of any issued letters of credit in respect of the Credit Facility on or before the Closing Date and (ii) to the extent reasonably requested in writing by Parent, no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date with respect to any Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness in respect of the Credit Facility) incurred by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date hereof in compliance with Section 6.1(b)(xi) (it being understood that the Company shall promptly and in any event no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Closing Date notify Parent in writing of the amount of any such Indebtedness incurred or to be incurred and expected to be outstanding on the Closing Date), repayment in full of all obligations in respect of such Indebtedness and release of any Liens securing such Indebtedness and guarantees in connection therewith, in each case, on the Closing Date. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver to Parent no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date payoff letters with respect to the Company Credit Facility and, to the extent reasonably requested by Parent in writing no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, any Indebtedness incurred by any of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the date hereof in compliance with Section 6.1(b)(xi) (each, a “Payoff Letter”) in form and substance customary for transactions of this type, from the persons, or the applicable agent on behalf of the persons, to which such Indebtedness is owed, which Payoff Letters together with any related release documentation shall, among other things, include the payoff amount and provide for Liens (and guarantees), if any, granted in connection therewith relating to the assets, rights and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries securing such Indebtedness and any other obligations secured thereby, upon the payment of the amount set forth in the applicable Payoff Letter on or prior to the Closing Date, to be released and terminated. Upon at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice from the Company that the Company has determined, after reasonable consultation with Parent, that it will not at the time of the Real Estate Purchase (and without giving effect to the payment of the Real Estate Purchase Price or any other payment under this Agreement) have sufficient unencumbered and available cash, net of “cage cash”, cash on hand required by any Governmental Entity, the reasonably estimated additional amount of cash necessary to ensure the sound operation of the Company’s business consistent with past practice, and any other restricted cash, to pay in full the outstanding Indebtedness in respect of the Credit Facility, then to the extent of such shortfall Parent will extend an unsecured loan to the Company on the day of the Closing so that, together with such net unencumbered and available cash, the proceeds of such loan are sufficient to pay in full the outstanding Indebtedness in respect of the Credit Facility as may be necessary to release all Liens and obligations in respect thereof at the time of, or immediately prior to, the Real Estate Purchase, and the terms of such loan shall be reasonable for the circumstance as negotiated in good faith by Parent and the Company.
