The Lender shall notify the Borrower in writing of the occurrence of any such event, stating the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. Such additional amounts shall be payable by the Borrower directly to the Lender within five days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate Lender pursuant to this Section 4.1 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and to Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 4.2 Increased Capital Costs. If any Change in Law affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Lender or any Person controlling the Lender, and the Lender determines (in good faith but in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of the Commitment or the Loan made by it hereunder is reduced to a level below that which the Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then upon notice from time to time by the Lender to the Borrower, the Borrower shall within five days following receipt of such notice pay directly to the Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate Lender pursuant to this Section 4.2 for any reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such reduction and of Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such reduction is retroactive, then the six month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. A statement of the Lender as to any such additional amount or amounts shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. In determining such amount, the Lender may use any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.
SECTION 4.3 Taxes. The Borrower covenants and agrees as follows with respect to Taxes.
25
(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower or any Guarantor under each Loan Document shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. In the event that any Taxes are imposed and required to be deducted or withheld from any payment required to be made by the Borrower or any Guarantor to or on behalf of the Lender under any Loan Document, then:
(i) if such Taxes are Non-Excluded Taxes, the amount of such payment shall be increased as may be necessary so that such payment is made, after withholding or deduction for or on account of such Taxes, in an amount that is not less than the amount provided for in such Loan Document; and
(ii) the Borrower or such Guarantor shall withhold the full amount of such Taxes from such payment (as increased pursuant to clause (a)(i)) and shall pay such amount to the Governmental Authority imposing such Taxes in accordance with applicable law.
(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay all Other Taxes imposed to the relevant Governmental Authority imposing such Other Taxes in accordance with applicable law.
(c) As promptly as practicable after the payment of any Taxes or Other Taxes, and in any event within 45 days of any such payment being due, the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender a copy of an official receipt (or a certified copy thereof) evidencing the payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.
(d) The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes levied, imposed or assessed on the Lender whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Promptly upon having knowledge that any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes have been levied, imposed or assessed, and promptly upon notice thereof by the Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes directly to the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that the Lender shall not be under any obligation to provide any such notice to the Borrower). With respect to indemnification for Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes actually paid by the Lender or the indemnification provided in the immediately preceding sentence, such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender makes written demand therefor. In addition, the Borrower shall indemnify the Lender for any incremental Taxes that may become payable by the Lender as a result of any failure of the Borrower to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or to deliver to the Lender, pursuant to clause (c), documentation evidencing the payment of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes. The Borrower acknowledges that any payment made to the Lender or to any Governmental Authority in respect of the indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided in this clause shall constitute a payment in respect of which the provisions of clause (a) and this clause shall apply.
26
(e) If the Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, it shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Additionally, the Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(i) If the Lender is a U.S. Person it shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which the Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that the Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(ii) If the Lender is not a U.S. Person it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower) on or prior to the date on which the Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1 to the effect that such Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or
27
(4) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-2 or Exhibit M-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(iii) If the Lender is not a U.S. Person it shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower) on or prior to the date on which the Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(iv) If a payment made to the Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Lender has complied with the Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f) If the Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to Section 4.3(a)(1), it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of the Lender
28
and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, shall repay to the Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 4.3(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxation authority) in the event that the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.3(f), in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 4.3(f) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender would have been if the Tax subject to indemnification had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
(g) Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.3 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of the Lender, termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Obligations.

Funds received after 11:00 a.m. on any day shall be deemed to have been received by the Lender on the next succeeding Business Day. All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days. Payments due on other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees in connection with that payment.
(b) All amounts received as a result of the exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents (including from the proceeds of collateral securing the Obligations) or under applicable law shall be applied upon receipt to the Obligations as follows: (i) first, to the payment in full in cash of all interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, whether or not permitted as a claim under such law) and fees owing under the Loan Documents, and all costs and expenses owing to the Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, until paid in full in cash, (ii) second, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clause (b)(i), to the payment of the principal amount of the Loan then outstanding, (iii) third, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii), to the payment of all other Obligations owing to the Lender, and (iv) fourth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iii), and following the Termination Date, to the Borrower or any other Person lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
29
SECTION 4.5 Setoff. The Lender shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default described in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 9.1(i) or Section 9.1(j) or, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) the Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Borrower then or thereafter maintained with or on behalf of the Lender. The Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such appropriation and application made by the Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which the Lender may have.
SECTION 4.6 LIBO Rate Not Determinable. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period, then the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower as promptly as practicable.

provided, that each Guarantor shall only be liable under this Guarantee for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering this Guarantee, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount. This Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and each Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required that the Lender exercise any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any remedy whatsoever against such Guarantor or any other Person before or as a condition to the obligations of such Guarantor becoming due hereunder.
Section 2.2 Reinstatement, Etc. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated (including on or after the Termination Date), as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Obligations is invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Lender, including upon the occurrence of any Event of Default set forth in Section 9.1(h) of the Credit Agreement or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
Section 2.3 Guarantee Absolute, Etc. This Guarantee shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guarantee of payment, and shall remain in full force and effect until (unless reinstated pursuant to Section 2.2 above) the Termination Date has occurred. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of each Loan Document under which they arise, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Lender with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of any Loan Document;
(b) the failure of the Lender (i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against such Guarantor or any other Person (including any other guarantor) under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, or (ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor (including such Guarantor and any other Guarantor) of, or collateral securing, any Obligations;
(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Obligations, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligation, or any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to or departure from, any of the terms of any Loan Document;
(d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance),
4
recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations or otherwise;
(e) any addition, exchange or release of any collateral or of any Person that is (or will become) a guarantor of the Obligations, or any surrender or non-perfection of any collateral, or any amendment to, or waiver or release of, or addition to, or consent to or departure from, any other guarantee held by the Lender securing any of the Obligations; or
(f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Obligor, any surety or any guarantor (including any Guarantor).
Section 2.4 Setoff. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lender, without the requirement that any notice be given to such Guarantor (such notice being expressly waived by such Guarantor), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) each Guarantor hereby grants to the Lender a continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of such Guarantor then or thereafter maintained with or on behalf of the Lender. The Lender agrees to notify such Guarantor after any such set-off and application made by the Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of the Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which the Lender may have.
Section 2.5 Waiver, Etc.

If any Grantor at any time holds or acquires an interest in any electronic chattel paper or any “transferable record,” as that term is defined in Section 201 of the U.S. Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the U.S. Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, with a value in excess of $100,000, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Lender thereof and, at the request of the Lender, shall take such action as the Lender may reasonably request to vest in the Lender control under Section 9-105 of the UCC of such electronic chattel paper or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The Lender agrees with such Grantor that the Lender will arrange, pursuant to procedures satisfactory to the Lender and so long as such procedures will not result in the Lender’s loss of control, for the Grantor to make alterations to the electronic chattel paper or transferable record permitted under Section 9-105 of the UCC or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the U.S. Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the U.S. Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by such Grantor with respect to such electronic chattel paper or transferable record.
19
Section 4.9 Further Assurances, Etc. Each Grantor agrees that, from time to time at its own expense, it will, subject to the terms of this Security Agreement, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary or that the Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect, preserve and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Grantor will
(a) from time to time upon the request of the Lender, promptly deliver to the Lender such stock powers, instruments and similar documents, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Lender, with respect to such Collateral as the Lender may request and will, from time to time upon the request of the Lender, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, promptly transfer any securities constituting Collateral into the name of any nominee designated by the Lender; if any Collateral shall be evidenced by an Instrument, negotiable Document, Promissory Note or tangible Chattel Paper, deliver and pledge to the Lender hereunder such Instrument, negotiable Document, Promissory Note or tangible Chattel Paper (other than any Instrument, negotiable Document, Promissory Note or tangible Chattel Paper in principal amount less than $5,000) duly endorsed and accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender;
(b) file (and hereby authorize the Lender to file) such Filing Statements or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices (including any assignment of claim form under or pursuant to the federal assignment of claims statute, 31 U.S.C. § 3726, any successor or amended version thereof or any regulation promulgated under or pursuant to any version thereof), as may be necessary or that the Lender may reasonably request in order to perfect and preserve the security interests and other rights granted or purported to be granted to the Lender hereby;
(c) at all times keep pledged to the Lender pursuant hereto, on a first-priority, perfected basis, at the request of the Lender, all Investment Property constituting Collateral, all dividends and Distributions with respect thereto, and all interest and principal with respect to Promissory Notes, and all Proceeds and rights from time to time received by or distributable to such Grantor in respect of any of the foregoing Collateral;
(d) not take or omit to take any action the taking or the omission of which would result in any impairment or alteration of any obligation of the maker of any Payment Intangible or other Instrument constituting Collateral, except as provided in Section 4.4;
(e) not create any tangible Chattel Paper without placing a legend on such tangible Chattel Paper reasonably acceptable to the Lender indicating that the Lender has a security interest in such Chattel Paper (provided that so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Chattel Paper and records relating to such Collateral for amounts in each case less than $5,000, need only be marked upon Lender’s request);
20
(f) furnish to the Lender, from time to time at the Lender’s request, statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as the Lender may request, all in reasonable detail (provided however, for so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Lender may not require such additional statements and schedules more than once per fiscal quarter); and
(g) do all things reasonably requested by the Lender in accordance with this Security Agreement (including dollar thresholds herein) in order to enable the Lender to have and maintain control over the Collateral consisting of Investment Property, Deposit Accounts, Letter-of-Credit-Rights and Electronic Chattel Paper.
With respect to the foregoing and the grant of the security interest hereunder, each Grantor hereby authorizes the Lender to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of the Collateral. Each Grantor agrees that a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any UCC financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a UCC financing statement where permitted by law. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Lender to file financing statements describing as the collateral covered thereby “all of the debtor’s personal property or assets” or words to that effect, notwithstanding that such wording may be broader in scope than the Collateral described in this Security Agreement.
ARTICLE V
THE LENDER
Section 5.1 Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender as its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time in the Lender’s discretion, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Security Agreement, including:
(a) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(b) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents and Chattel Paper, in connection with clause (a) above;
(c) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Lender with respect to any of the Collateral; and
(d) to perform the affirmative obligations of such Grantor hereunder.
21
Each Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney granted pursuant to this Section is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
Section 5.2 Lender May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, the Lender may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, that the Lender deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein to the extent provided for herein, and the expenses of the Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor pursuant to Section 10.3 of the Credit Agreement.
Section 5.3 Lender Has No Duty. The powers conferred on the Lender hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers. Except for reasonable care of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Lender shall have no duty as to any Collateral or responsibility for:
(a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Investment Property, whether or not the Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters; or
(b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.
Section 5.4 Reasonable Care. The Lender is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided that the Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral, if it takes such action for that purpose as each Grantor reasonably requests in writing at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but failure of the Lender to comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.
ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES
Section 6.1 Certain Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of the Lender on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may
(i) take possession of any Collateral not already in its possession without demand and without legal process;
22
(ii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will, at its expense and upon request of the Lender forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Lender and make it available to the Lender at a place to be designated by the Lender that is reasonably convenient to both parties,
(iii) enter onto the property where any Collateral is located and take possession thereof without demand and without legal process; and
(iv) without notice except as specified below, lease, license, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at any public or private sale, at any of the Lender’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Lender may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(b) All cash Proceeds received by the Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Lender against all or any part of the Obligations as set forth in Section 4.4(b) of the Credit Agreement.
(c) The Lender may:
(i) transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of the Lender or its nominee, with or without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the Lien hereunder;
(ii) notify the parties obligated on any of the Collateral to make payment to the Lender of any amount due or to become due thereunder;
(iii) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Collateral Account;
(iv) enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or otherwise, and surrender, release or exchange all or any part thereof, or compromise or extend or renew for any period (whether or not longer than the original period) any obligations of any nature of any party with respect thereto;
(v) endorse any checks, drafts, or other writings in any Grantor’s name to allow collection of the Collateral;
(vi) take control of any Proceeds of the Collateral; and
(vii) execute (in the name, place and stead of any Grantor) endorsements, assignments, stock powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral.
23
Section 6.2 Securities Laws. If the Lender shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any of the Collateral that are Capital Securities pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(iv), each Grantor agrees that, upon request of the Lender, such Grantor will, at its own expense:
(a) execute and deliver, and cause (or, with respect to any issuer which is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use its best efforts to cause) each issuer of the Collateral contemplated to be sold and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Lender, advisable to register such Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as from time to time amended (the “Securities Act”), and cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Lender, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto;
(b) use its best efforts to exempt the Collateral under the state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Collateral, as requested by the Lender;
(c) cause (or, with respect to any issuer that is not a Subsidiary of such Grantor, use its best efforts to cause) each such issuer to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement that will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act; and
(d) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of the Collateral or any part thereof valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.
Each Grantor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages that would be suffered by the Lender by reason of the failure by such Grantor to perform any of the covenants contained in this Section and consequently agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that, if such Grantor shall fail to perform any of such covenants, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value (as determined by the Lender) of such Collateral on the date the Lender shall demand compliance with this Section.
Section 6.3 Compliance with Restrictions. Each Grantor agrees that in any sale of any of the Collateral whenever an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender is hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law (including compliance with such procedures as may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers, require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that
24
they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any Governmental Authority or official, and such Grantor further agrees that such compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner, nor shall the Lender be liable nor accountable to such Grantor for any discount allowed by the reason of the fact that such Collateral is sold in compliance with any such limitation or restriction.
Section 6.4 Protection of Collateral. The Lender may from time to time, at its option, perform any act which any Grantor fails to perform after being requested in writing so to perform (it being understood that no such request need be given after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) and the Lender may from time to time take any other action which the Lender deems necessary for the maintenance, preservation or protection of any of the Collateral or of its security interest therein.

Grantor covenants that Grantor is the sole owner of the entire landlord’s or lessor’s interest in the Leases; that the Leases have not been and shall not be altered, modified, or amended in any manner whatsoever save as therein and herein set forth; that the tenant(s) or lessee(s) named therein are not in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions thereof; that no Rent reserved in the Leases has been assigned or anticipated; and that no Rent for any period subsequent to the date hereof has been collected in advance of the time when the same became due under the terms of the Leases. Grantor covenants with Grantee to observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon the landlord or lessor under the Leases and not to do or permit to be done anything to impair the security thereof; not to collect any of the Rent arising or accruing under the Leases or from the Premises in advance of the time when the same shall become due; not to execute any other assignment of landlord’s or lessor’s interest in the Leases or assignment of Rents arising or accruing from the Leases or from the Premises except as hereinafter set forth; not to enter into any new Leases of the Premises or alter, modify, or change the terms of the Leases or cancel or terminate the same or accept a surrender thereof without the prior written consent of Grantee (which consent shall
- 5 -
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); and at Grantee’s request, to further assign and transfer to Grantee any and all future Leases upon all or any part of the Premises, and to execute and deliver, at the request of Grantee, all such further assurances and assignments as Grantee shall from time to time reasonably require. Grantor will not execute any other assignment of the Leases or of any interest therein or of any of the Rents payable thereunder. Grantor will give prompt notice to Grantee of any notice of Grantor’s default received from any tenant, lessee or any other person and furnish Grantee with complete copies of said notice. If reasonably requested by Grantee, Grantor will enforce the Leases and all remedies available to Grantor against the tenant in case of default under the Leases by any tenant.
(c) Grantor hereby further grants to Grantee the right (i) to enter upon and take possession of the Premises for the purpose of collecting the said Rents, (ii) to dispossess by the usual summary proceedings (or any other proceedings of Grantee’s selection) any tenant defaulting in the payment thereof to Grantee, (iii) to lease the Premises, or any part thereof, and (iv) to apply said Rents, after payment of all necessary charges and expenses, on account of said Obligations. Such assignment and grant shall continue in effect until the Obligations is paid, the execution of this Deed to Secure Debt constituting and evidencing the irrevocable consent of Grantor to the entry upon and taking possession of the Premises by Grantee pursuant to such grant, whether foreclosure has been instituted or not and without applying for a receiver. So long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, Grantee will not exercise any of its rights under Section 1.2, and Grantee shall not receive and collect the Rents of the Premises accruing under any Lease. Such license of Grantor to collect and receive said Rents may be revoked by Grantee upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.
(d) Grantee shall not be liable for any loss sustained by the Grantor resulting from the failure of Grantee to let the leasable premises or the Premises after default or from any other act or omission of Grantee in managing the Premises after default, unless such loss is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Grantee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable order. Grantee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge, nor does Grantee hereby undertake to perform or discharge, any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases or under or by reason of this Deed to Secure Debt, and Grantor shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify Grantee for, and to hold Grantee harmless from any and all liabilities, losses and damages which may or might be incurred under the Leases or under or by reason of this Deed to Secure Debt and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever, in each case, prior to the foreclosure of the Deed to Secure Debt lien created hereby, which may be asserted against Grantee by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Leases, except to the extent of such loss, liability, or damage as is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Grantee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable order.
(e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the right and license to collect Rents granted to Grantor above shall automatically be revoked and Grantee is authorized at any time, without notice, in its sole discretion, to enter upon and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, and to perform any acts Grantee deems necessary or proper to conserve the security, including, without limitation, manage and operate the Premises and the Grantor’s business on the Premises, and take possession of and use all books of account and financial records of the Grantor and its property managers or representatives, if any, relating to the Premises. With or without taking possession or having a receiver appointed, Grantee is entitled to collect and receive all Rents, including those past due as well as those accruing. Grantor irrevocably agrees that all such tenants shall be authorized to pay the Rents directly to Grantee without liability of such tenants for the determination of the actual existence of any default by Grantor claimed by Grantee. Tenants shall be expressly relieved of any and all duty, liability and obligation to Grantor in connection with any and all Rents so paid. Grantee shall be entitled to have a receiver appointed with or without notice by a court. Said receiver shall be authorized, without notice, to enter upon and take possession of the Premises and take any act it deems necessary or proper to
- 6 -
conserve the security. With or without taking possession said receiver shall be entitled to collect the Rents and apply the same as the court may direct. Grantee or the receiver may also take possession of, and for these purposes use, any and all personal property used by Grantor in the rental or leasing of the Premises or any part thereof. The expense (including receiver’s fees, reasonable counsel fees, costs and agent’s compensation) incurred pursuant to the powers herein contained shall be secured hereby. Grantee shall (after payment of all such out of pocket costs and expenses incurred) apply such Rents received by it to the Deed to Secure Debt and Obligations secured hereunder in such order as Grantee determines; and Grantor agrees that exercise of such rights and disposition of such funds shall not constitute a waiver of any foreclosure once commenced nor preclude the later commencement of foreclosure for breach hereof. The right to enter and take possession of the Premises, the right to manage and operate the same, and the right to collect the Rents, in each case whether by a receiver or otherwise, shall be cumulative to any other right or remedy hereunder or afforded by law, and may be exercised concurrently therewith or independently thereof. Grantee shall be liable to account only for such Rents actually received by Grantee. Grantor hereby specifically authorizes Grantee, and hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Grantee as Grantor’s agent and attorney-in-fact, in Grantor’s or Grantee’s name, to do any of the foregoing, said power of attorney being coupled with an interest and not revoked by insolvency, bankruptcy, death, dissolution or otherwise.
Section 1.3 SECURITY AGREEMENT. This Deed to Secure Debt is made pursuant to Official Code of Georgia Annotated (“O.C.G.A.”) Section 44-14-60, and is both a real property Deed to Secure Debt and a “security agreement” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Premises includes both real and personal property and all other rights and interests, whether tangible or intangible in nature, of Grantor in the Premises. By executing and delivering this Deed to Secure Debt, Grantor hereby grants to Grantee, as security for the Obligations (hereinafter defined), a security interest in the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property and other property constituting the Premises to the full extent that the Fixtures, the Equipment, the Personal Property and such other property may be subject to the Uniform Commercial Code (said portion of the Premises so subject to the Uniform Commercial Code being called the “Collateral”). Without limiting the foregoing, Grantor hereby grants to Grantee a security interest in all of its present and future “Equipment” and “General Intangibles” (as said quoted terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the state where the Premises are located), and Grantee shall have, in addition to all rights and remedies provided herein, and in any other agreements, commitments and undertakings made by Grantor to Grantee, all of the rights and remedies of a “Secured Party” under the Georgia Uniform Commercial Code and the Uniform Commercial Code of the state of Grantor’s creation. If the lien of this Deed to Secure Debt is subject to a security interest covering any such personal property, then all of the right, title and interest of Grantor in and to any and all such property is hereby assigned to Grantee, together with the benefits of all deposits and payments now or hereafter made thereon by Grantor. During the continuation of any Event of Default, Grantee, in addition to any other rights and remedies which it may have, shall have and may exercise immediately and without demand, any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to take possession of the Collateral or any part thereof, and to take such other measures as Grantee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral. Upon request or demand of Grantee during the continuation of any Event of Default, Grantor shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Grantee at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible property) reasonably acceptable to Grantee. Grantor shall pay to Grantee on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Grantee in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral during the continuation of any Event of Default. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Grantee with respect to the Collateral sent to Grantor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to Grantor. The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required
- 7 -
by applicable law, be applied by Grantee to the payment of the Obligations in such priority and proportions as required under the Credit Agreement. The principal place of business of Grantor (Secured Debtor) is as set forth on page one hereof and the address of Grantee (Secured Party) is as set forth on page one hereof.
Section 1.4 FIXTURE FILING. Certain of the Premises is or will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) on the Land, described or referred to in this Deed to Secure Debt, and this Deed to Secure Debt, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the city or county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Uniform Commercial Code upon such of the Premises that is or may become fixtures. For this purpose the following information is included: (i) Grantor is the “Debtor” with the address set forth on the first page hereof; (ii) Grantee is the “Secured Party” with the address set forth on the first page hereof; (iii) this document and any security interest granted herein covers goods which are or are to become fixtures; (iv) the jurisdiction of organization of the Grantor is set forth on the first page hereof; and (v) Grantor is the record owner of the Land and the Improvements. Grantor hereby authorizes Grantee to file any financing statements in connection therewith with the appropriate public office.
Section 1.5 PLEDGES OF MONIES HELD. Grantor hereby pledges to Grantee any and all monies now or hereafter held by Grantee or on behalf of Grantee, as additional security for the Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Deed to Secure Debt.
CONDITIONS TO GRANT
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Premises unto and to the use and benefit of Grantee and its successors and assigns forever, in fee simple.
THIS INSTRUMENT IS A DEED passing legal title pursuant to the laws of the State of Georgia governing deeds to secure debt and establishes a perpetual security title in the Premises in favor of Grantee. This instrument is also a security agreement by which Grantor does hereby grant a present and continuing security interest in and security title to that portion of the Premises constituting fixtures, goods, intangibles, the leases, rents and all other collateral covered by the Uniform Commercial Code pursuant to the Georgia Uniform Commercial Code. To the extent permitted by applicable law, this instrument is also a “fixture filing” for the purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code. Should the Obligations be satisfied in full and Grantor performs all the covenants herein contained and contained in the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, then this Deed to Secure Debt shall be canceled and surrendered, it being intended by the parties hereto that this instrument shall operate as a deed, and not as a mortgage creating a lien only; provided, however, that Grantor’s obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Grantee pursuant to the provisions hereof shall survive any such payment or release.

(c) with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable law, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Deed to Secure Debt for the portion of the Obligations then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien and security interest of this Deed to Secure Debt for the balance of the Obligations not then due, unimpaired and without loss of priority;
(d) sell for cash or upon credit the Premises or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Grantor therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law;

(f) recover judgment on the Obligations either before, during or after any proceedings for the enforcement of this Deed to Secure Debt, the Credit Agreement, any Loan Document or any other document or instrument executed in connection therewith;
(g) apply for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator or conservator of the Premises, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Obligations and without regard for the solvency of Grantor, any guarantor, indemnitor or any Person liable for the payment of the Obligations to which appointment Grantor does hereby consent;
(h) the license granted to Grantor under Section 1.2 hereof shall automatically be revoked and Grantee may enter into or upon the Premises, either personally or by its agents, nominees or attorneys and dispossess Grantor and its agents and servants therefrom, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise and exclude Grantor and its agents or servants wholly therefrom, and take possession of all books, records and accounts relating thereto and Grantor agrees to surrender possession of the Premises and of such books, records and accounts to Grantee upon demand, and thereupon Grantee may (i) use, operate, manage, control, insure, maintain, repair, restore and otherwise deal with all and every part of the Premises and conduct the business thereat; (ii) complete any construction on the Premises in such manner and form as Grantee deems advisable; (iii) make alterations, additions, renewals, replacements and improvements to or on the Premises; (iv) exercise all rights and powers of Grantor with respect to the Premises, whether in the name of Grantor or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to make, cancel, enforce or modify Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, xxx for, collect and receive all Rents of the Premises and every part thereof; (v) require Grantor to pay monthly in advance to Grantee, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupation of such part of the Premises as may be occupied by Grantor; (vi) require Grantor to vacate and surrender possession of the Premises to Grantee or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Grantor may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise; and (vii) apply the receipts from the Premises to the payment of the Obligations, in such order, priority and proportions as required under the Credit Agreement after deducting therefrom all expenses (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the aforesaid operations and all amounts necessary to pay the Taxes, Other Charges, insurance and other expenses in connection with the Premises, as well as just and reasonable compensation for the services of Grantee, its counsel, agents and employees; provided, that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this Deed to Secure Debt prohibiting the sale or other disposition of the Premises without Grantee’s prior written consent;
(i) exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the right to take possession of the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property, or any part thereof, and to take
- 15 -
such other measures as Grantee may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property, and (ii) request Grantor at its expense to assemble the Fixtures, the Equipment and the Personal Property and make the same available to Grantee at a convenient place acceptable to Grantee. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Grantee with respect to the Fixtures, the Equipment and/or the Personal Property sent to Grantor in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such action, or as may be sooner required under applicable law, shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Grantor;
(j) apply any sums then deposited or held in escrow or otherwise by or on behalf of Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and this Deed to Secure Debt;
(k) take such steps to protect and enforce its rights in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy or otherwise as Grantee shall elect;
(l) exercise any or all of the remedies available to it under this Deed to Secure Debt and the Loan Documents; or
(m) pursue such other remedies as Grantee may have under applicable law.
No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Grantee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but every remedy herein provided shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, or by statute; and every power and remedy given by this Deed to Secure Debt to Grantee may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. No delay or omission by Grantee to exercise any right or power during the continuation of any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any event of default or an acquiescence therein. If Grantee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Deed to Secure Debt by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned, or shall have been determined adversely, then, and in such and every such case, Grantor shall be restored to its former positions and rights hereunder in respect of the Premises, and all rights, remedies and powers of Grantee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. If any additional sum or sums shall become due and owing, by Grantor to Grantee, pursuant to the provisions hereof, the affidavit of Grantee shall be sufficient evidence of the fact that such additional sums are secured hereby in the amount set forth in such affidavit. No waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall constitute or be construed as a waiver by Grantee of any subsequent breach or default or of any breach or default of any other provisions of this Deed to Secure Debt. Any waiver by Grantee must be in writing and will not be construed as a continuing waiver. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any payment made by Grantee for insurance premiums, taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rentals, levies, fees or any other charges affecting the Premises, shall not constitute a waiver of Grantor’s default in making such payments and shall not obligate Grantee to make any further payments.
In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of less than all of Premises, this Deed to Secure Debt shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Premises unimpaired and without loss of priority.
Section 8.3 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The purchase money, proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Premises, and or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by Grantee pursuant to the Credit Agreement, this Deed to Secure Debt or any other document or instrument executed in connection therewith shall be applied by Grantee to the payment of the Obligations in such priority and proportions as provided in the Credit Agreement. Grantee and any receiver of the Premises or any part thereof shall be liable to account for only those Rents actually received by it.
- 16 -
Section 8.4 RIGHT TO CURE DEFAULTS. During the continuation of any Event of Default or if Grantor fails to make any payment or to do any act as herein provided, Grantee may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Grantor and without releasing Grantor from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Grantee may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Grantee is authorized to enter upon the Premises for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Premises or to foreclose this Deed to Secure Debt or collect the Rents, and the cost and expense thereof (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 8.4, shall constitute a portion of the Obligations and shall be due and payable to Grantee upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Grantee in remedying such failure to act or such failed payment or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Grantee that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Grantee. All such costs and expenses incurred by Grantee together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Obligations and be secured by this Deed to Secure Debt and the other Security Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Grantee therefor.
Section 8.5 ACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. Grantee has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Premises and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Grantor, which Grantee, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Premises or its rights hereunder. All such costs and expenses incurred by Grantee in connection with such actions or proceedings, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and appellate attorneys’ fees and expenses and otherwise provided for in the Loan Documents, shall be paid by Grantor on demand and shall be secured by this Deed to Secure Debt.
Section 8.6 RECOVERY OF SUMS REQUIRED TO BE PAID. Grantee shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Obligations as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Obligations shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Grantee thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Grantor existing at the time such earlier action was commenced. In the event of a sale of the Premises, or any part thereof, and of the application of the proceeds of sale, as in this Deed to Secure Debt provided, to the payment of the debt hereby secured, Grantee shall be entitled to enforce payment of, and to receive all amounts then remaining due and unpaid upon, the Obligations, and to enforce payment of all other charges, payments and costs due under this Deed to Secure Debt, and shall be entitled to recover judgment for any portion of the debt remaining unpaid, with interest at the applicable Default Rate under the Credit Agreement or supplemental Loan Documents. In case of the commencement of any case against the Grantor under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or any proceedings for its reorganization or involving the liquidation of its assets, Grantee shall be entitled to prove the whole amount of principal and interest due under the Credit Agreement to the full amount thereof, and all other payments, charges and costs due under this Deed to Secure Debt and otherwise provided for in the Credit Agreement, without deducting therefrom any proceeds obtained from the sale of the whole or any part of the Premises, provided, however, that in no case shall Grantee receive a greater amount than such principal and interest and such other payments, charges and costs from the aggregate amount of the proceeds of the sale of the Premises and the distribution from the estate of Grantor.
Section 8.7 EXAMINATION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS. Grantee, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have the right to examine the records, books, and other papers of Grantor which reflect upon its financial condition, at the Premises or at any office regularly maintained by Grantor where the books and records are located in the manner and to the extent permitted under Section 7.5 of the Credit Agreement. This Section 8.7 shall apply until this Deed to Secure Debt shall be terminated pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement and without regard to whether an Event of Default is continuing.
- 17 -
Section 8.8 OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a) The failure of Grantee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Deed to Secure Debt. Grantor shall not be relieved of Grantor’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Grantee to comply with any request of Grantor or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the foreclosure of this Deed to Secure Debt or enforcement of any of the provisions hereof or of the Credit Agreement or the other documents and instruments executed in connection therewith, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Premises, or of any person liable for the Obligations or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Grantee extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Deed to Secure Debt or the other documents and instruments executed in connection therewith.
(b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Premises is on Grantor, and Grantee shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Premises, for failure to maintain any policies of insurance, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount or risks insured. Possession by Grantee shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to any Premises or collateral not in Grantee’s possession.
(c) Grantee may resort for the payment of the Obligations to any other Collateral held by Grantee in such order and manner as Grantee, in its discretion, may elect. Grantee may take action to recover the Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Grantee thereafter to foreclose this Deed to Secure Debt. The rights of Grantee under this Deed to Secure Debt shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Grantee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Grantee shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.
(d) All rights of action under the Loan Documents and this Deed to Secure Debt may be enforced by Grantee without the possession of the Loan Documents and without the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto.
(e) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and the acceleration of the maturity hereof, if, at any time prior to foreclosure sale, Grantor or any other person tenders payment of the amount necessary to satisfy the Obligations, the same shall constitute an evasion of the payment terms hereof and/or of the Credit Agreement and shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment hereunder, in which case such payment must include the premium and/or fee required under the prepayment provision, if any, contained herein or in the Credit Agreement. This provision shall be of no force or effect if at the time that such tender of payment is made, Grantor has the right under this Deed to Secure Debt or the Credit Agreement to prepay the Obligations without penalty or premium.
(f) If any payment due hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, is not paid when due, whether on any stated due date, any accelerated due date or any other date or at any other time specified under any of the terms hereof or thereof, then, and in such event, Grantor shall pay interest on the entire outstanding and unpaid principal balance of the Obligations in accordance with Section 3.1 of the Credit Agreement. All unpaid and accrued interest shall be secured by this Deed to Secure Debt as a part of the Obligations. Nothing in this Section 8.8 or in any other provision of this Deed to Secure Debt shall constitute an extension of the time of payment of the Obligations. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, liquidator or trustee of Grantor, or of any of its property, or of the Premises or any part
- 18 -
thereof, Grantee shall be entitled, to the extent not prohibited by law, to retain possession and control of all property now and hereafter covered by this Deed to Secure Debt to Grantee in accordance with the terms hereof and applicable law.
(g) In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this 14.6 (whether made by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale), the entire Obligations, if not previously due and payable, immediately thereupon shall, anything in the Loan Documents or in this Deed to Secure Debt to the contrary notwithstanding, become due and payable.
Section 8.9 RIGHT TO RELEASE ANY PORTION OF THE PREMISES. Grantee may release any portion of the Premises for such consideration as Grantee may require without, as to the remainder of the Premises, in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Deed to Secure Debt, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Grantee for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Grantee may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. This Deed to Secure Debt shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Premises.
Section 8.10 VIOLATION OF LAWS. If the Premises is not in full compliance with all requirements of applicable law, Grantee may impose additional reasonable requirements upon Grantor in connection herewith including, without limitation, monetary reserves or financial equivalents.
Section 8.11 RIGHT OF ENTRY. Upon reasonable notice to Grantor, Grantee and its agents shall have the right to enter and inspect the Premises at all reasonable times.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the defendants in any such claim or proceeding include both Grantor and any Indemnified Party and Grantor and such Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Parties that are different from or additional to those available to Grantor, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party, provided that no compromise or settlement shall be entered without the consent of Grantor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Grantor acknowledges that this Deed to Secure Debt is one of a number of
- 21 -
other security instruments and documents which secure and evidence the Obligations in whole or in part, including, without limitation, the Loan Documents. The lien of this Deed to Secure Debt shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions whatsoever of Grantee and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien hereof shall not be impaired by (i) any acceptance by Grantee of any other security for any portion of the Obligations, (ii) any failure, neglect or omission on the part of Grantee to realize upon or protect any portion of the Obligations or any Collateral therefor or (iii) any release (except as to the property released), sale, pledge, surrender, compromise, settlement, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, changing, modification or disposition of any portion of the Obligations or of any of the Collateral therefor.

Such exercise of Grantee’s rights and remedies under any or all of the Loan Documents shall not in any manner impair the Obligations or lien of the Deed to Secure Debt, and any exercise of the rights or remedies of Grantee hereunder shall not impair the lien of any of the Loan Documents or any of Grantee’s rights and remedies thereunder. Grantor specifically consents and agrees that Grantee may exercise its rights and remedies hereunder and under the Loan Documents separately or concurrently and in any order that Grantee may deem appropriate.

- 28 -
county. At any such public sale, Grantee may execute and deliver to the purchaser a conveyance of the Premises or any part of the Premises in fee simple, with full warranties of title and to this end, Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints Grantee the agent and attorney-in-fact of Grantor to make such sale and conveyance, and thereby to divest Grantor of all right, title and equity that Grantor may have in and to the Premises and to vest the same in the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or sales, and all the acts and doings of said agent and attorney-in-fact are hereby ratified and confirmed and any recitals in said conveyance or conveyances as to facts essential to a valid sale shall be binding upon Grantor. The aforesaid power of sale and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death or otherwise, are granted as cumulative of the other remedies provided hereby or by law for collection of the Obligations and shall not be exhausted by one exercise thereof but may be exercised until full payment of all of the Obligations. Nevertheless, the Grantor, if so requested by Grantee, shall ratify and confirm any such sale or sales by executing and delivering to Grantee or to such purchaser or purchasers all such instruments as may be advisable, in the judgment of Grantee, for that purpose, and as may be designated in such request.
In any sale or sales made by Grantee under the power herein granted, or upon any sale or sales under or by virtue of any judicial proceedings: (i) the whole of the Premises, real, personal and mixed, may be sold in one parcel as an entirety, or the Premises may be sold in separate parcels as may be determined by Grantee in its discretion; (ii) all recitals contained in any deed or other instrument of conveyance, assignment or transfer made and delivered by Grantee in pursuance of the powers granted and conferred herein, shall be prima facie evidence of the facts therein set forth; (iii) such sale or sales shall operate to divest Grantor of all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, under statute or otherwise, in and to the Premises and every part thereof so sold and shall be a perpetual bar, both in law or equity, against Grantor and any and all persons claiming or to claim from, through or under Grantor ; and (iv) Grantee may bid for and purchase the Premises or any part thereof or interest therein and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make payment therefor by presenting to Grantee the Credit Agreement, the Loan Documents or the other evidences of Obligations so that there may be endorsed as paid thereon the net sales price (after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and the costs of the action and any other sums which the Grantee is authorized to deduct under this Deed to Secure Debt) which is to be applied to payment of Obligations as herein provided. Each time it shall become necessary to insert an advertisement of foreclosure, and sale is not had, Grantee shall be entitled to receive the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for services and the amount of all advertising charges from Grantor, all of which shall be further secured hereby. Grantee may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Premises and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Premises. Grantee may sell the Premises without giving any warranties as to the Premises. Grantee may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Premises. If Grantee sells any of the Premises upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Grantee and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Premises, Grantee may resell the Premises. Upon the foreclosure and sale of the Premises, or any part thereof, the proceeds of such sale or sales shall be applied in the manner set forth in the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents; provided that in the event the net proceeds of such sale or sales shall not be sufficient to satisfy in full the Obligations, Grantor hereby promises and agrees to pay any deficiency thereon on demand with interest at the Default Rate. Grantee may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue of this Deed to Secure Debt by public announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales; and except as otherwise provided by any applicable provision of law, Grantee, without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be fixed by the last postponement.

No waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall constitute or be construed as a waiver by Grantee of any subsequent breach or default or of any breach or default of any other provisions of this Deed to Secure Debt. Any waiver by Grantee must be in writing and will not be construed as a continuing waiver.

3
of the Company in an amount equal to the Exercise Amount, (B) by receiving from the Company the number of Warrant Shares equal to (i) the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised minus (ii) the number of Warrant Shares having a value, based on the Closing Price on the trading day immediately prior to the date of such exercise (or if there is no such Closing Price, then based on the Appraised Value as of such day), equal to the Exercise Amount, or (C) any combination of the foregoing. The Company acknowledges that the provisions of clause (B) are intended, in part, to ensure that a full or partial exchange of this Warrant pursuant to such clause (B) will qualify as a conversion, within the meaning of paragraph (d)(3)(iii) of Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

For all purposes of this Warrant (other than this Section 2(a)), any reference herein to the exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to include a reference to the exchange of this Warrant into Shares in accordance with the terms of clause (B).
(b) Effectiveness and Delivery. As soon as practicable but not later than five Business Days after the Company shall have received such Notice of Exercise and payment, the Company shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, in accordance with such Notice of Exercise, (i) a certificate or certificates representing the number of Shares specified in such Notice of Exercise, or (ii) a confirmation of an electronic delivery of such Shares to the Holder’s account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or a similar organization, in each case issued in the name of the Warrant Holder or in such other name or names of any Person or Persons designated in such Notice of Exercise. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such Share certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Warrant Holder or other Person or Persons designated in such Notice of Exercise shall be deemed for all purposes to have become a holder of record of Shares, all as of the date that such Notice of Exercise and payment shall have been received by the Company.
(c) Surrender of Warrant. The Warrant Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company when it delivers the Notice of Exercise, and in the event of a partial exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Warrant Holder, at the time the Company delivers the Share certificate or certificates issued pursuant to such Notice of Exercise, a new Warrant for the unexercised portion of the Warrant, but in all other respects identical to this Warrant.
(d) Legend. Each certificate for Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of this Warrant, unless at the time of exercise such Warrant Shares are registered under the Securities Act, shall bear the following legend:
THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED UNDER SAID ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.
Any certificate for Warrant Shares issued at any time in exchange or substitution for any certificate bearing such legend (unless at that time such Warrant Shares are registered under the Securities Act) shall also bear such legend unless, in the written opinion of counsel selected by the holder of such certificate (who may be an employee of such holder), which counsel and opinion shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, the Warrant Shares represented thereby need no longer be subject to restrictions on resale under the Securities Act.
(e) Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Shares upon an exercise of the Warrant. If any fraction of a Share would, but for this restriction, be issuable upon an exercise of the Warrant, in lieu of delivering such fractional Share, the Company shall pay to the Warrant
4
Holder, in cash, an amount equal to the same fraction times the Closing Price on the trading day immediately prior to the date of such exercise (or if there is no such Closing Price, then based on the Appraised Value as of such day).
(f) Expenses and Taxes. The Company shall pay all expenses, taxes and owner charges payable in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of certificates for the Warrant Shares and any new Warrants, except that if the certificates for the Warrant Shares or the new Warrants are to be registered in a name or names other than the name of the Warrant Holder, funds sufficient to pay all transfer taxes payable as a result of such transfer shall be paid by the Warrant Holder at the time of its delivery of the Notice of Exercise or promptly upon receipt of a written request by the Company for payment.
(g) Automatic Cashless Exercise. To the extent that there has not been an exercise by the Warrant Holder pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof, any portion of the Warrant that remains unexercised shall be exercised automatically in whole (not in part), upon the Expiration Date. In the event of a Qualified Change of Control, any portion of the Warrant that remains unexercised shall be exercised automatically in whole (not in part) upon such Qualified Change of Control. Payment by the Warrant Holder upon such automatic exercise shall be in the form of the Warrant Holder receiving from the Company the number of Warrant Shares equal to (i) the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being automatically exercised minus (ii) the number of Warrant Shares having a value (A) in the case of a Qualified Change of Control, equal to the consideration paid for a Warrant Share upon such Qualified Change of Control, or (B) in any other case, based on the Closing Price on the trading day immediately prior to the date of such automatic exercise (or if there is no such Closing Price, then based on the Appraised Value as of such day), equal to the Exercise Amount.
Section 3. Investment Representation; Unregistered Securities.
(a) By accepting the Warrant, the Warrant Holder represents that it is acquiring the Warrant for its own account for investment purposes and not with the view to any sale or distribution, that the Warrant Holder will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of the Warrant or the Warrant Shares except under circumstances as will not result in a violation of applicable securities laws, and that the Warrant Holder is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
(b) Warrant Holder understands that the Warrant and the Warrant Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities law, by reason of their issuance in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such laws, that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and such laws or a subsequent disposition thereof is exempt from registration, that the Warrants and the Warrant Shares shall bear a legend to such effect, and that appropriate stop transfer instructions may be issued. Warrant Holder further understands that such exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of Warrant Holder’s investment intent expressed herein.
Section 4. Validity of Warrant and Issuance of Shares.
(a) The Company represents and warrants that this Warrant has been duly authorized, is validly issued, and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company.
(b) The Company further represents and warrants that on the date hereof it is duly authorized and reserved, and the Company hereby agrees that it will at all times until the Expiration Date have duly authorized and reserved, such number of Shares as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of the Warrant, and that all such Shares are and will be duly authorized and, when issued upon exercise of the Warrant, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free and clear of all security interests, claims, liens, equities and other encumbrances.

Section 5. Antidilution Provisions. The Exercise Price in effect at any time, and the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon any exercise of the Warrant, shall be subject to change or adjustment as follows:
(a) Share Reorganization. If the Company shall subdivide its outstanding Shares into a greater number of Shares, by way of a stock split, stock dividend or otherwise, or consolidate its outstanding Shares into a smaller number of Shares (any such event being herein called a “Share Reorganization”), then (i) the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, effective immediately after the effective date of such Share Reorganization, to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such effective date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares outstanding on such effective date before giving effect to such Share Reorganization and the denominator of which shall be the number of Shares outstanding after giving effect to such Share Reorganization, and (ii) the number of Shares subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted, effective at such time, to a number determined by multiplying the number of Shares subject to purchase immediately before such Share Reorganization by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares outstanding after giving effect to such Share Reorganization and the denominator of which shall be the number of Shares outstanding immediately before giving effect to such Share Reorganization.
(b) Pro-Rata Distributions in Respect of Shares. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Shares (“Pro-Rata Distribution”) for no consideration (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than pursuant to a Share Reorganization which is governed by Section 5(a)), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset, including cash (in each case, “Distributed Property”), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after the record date fixed for determination of shareholder entitled to receive such distribution, the Warrant Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Warrant Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such record date without regard to any limitation on exercise contained therein. The Company will at all times set aside in escrow and keep available for distribution to such holder upon exercise of this Warrant a portion of the Distributed Property to satisfy the distribution to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to this Section 5(b).
(c) Other Issuances.
(i) If the Company shall issue, sell or otherwise distribute any Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any deemed issuance, sale or distribution described in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) below), other than pursuant to a Share Reorganization (which is governed by Section 5(a)) or a Pro-Rata Distribution (which is governed by Section 5(b) (any such event, including any event described in paragraphs (ii) and (iii) below, being herein called a “Share Distribution”), for a consideration per Share less than the Exercise Price then in effect, then, effective upon such Share Distribution, the Exercise Price shall be reduced to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (A) the number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to such Share Distribution multiplied by the Exercise Price, plus (B) the consideration, if any, received by the Company upon such Share Distribution, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (1) the total number of Shares outstanding immediately after such Share Distribution multiplied by (2) the Exercise Price. If any Share Distribution shall require an adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(c), including by operation of paragraph (ii) or (iii) below, then, effective at
6
the time such adjustment is made, the number of Shares subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number determined by multiplying the number of Shares subject to purchase immediately before such Share Distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price as adjusted in accordance with this Section 5(c). The provisions of this Section 5(c), including by operation of paragraph (ii) or (iii) below, shall not operate to increase the Exercise Price or reduce the number of Shares subject to purchase upon exercise of this Warrant.
(ii) If the Company shall issue, sell, distribute (other than a Pro Rata Distribution) or otherwise grant in any manner (including by assumption) any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any warrants or options for the purchase of Shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares such rights, warrants or options being herein called “Options” and such convertible or exchangeable securities being herein called “Convertible Securities”), whether or not such Options or the rights to convert or exchange any such Convertible Securities in respect of such Options are immediately exercisable or exercisable prior to the Expiration Date or thereafter, and the price per Share for which Shares are issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities in respect of such Options (determined by dividing (x) the aggregate amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the granting of such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Options to acquire Convertible Securities, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options) shall be less than the Exercise Price, then, for purposes of Section 5(c)(i), the total maximum number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of granting of such Options and thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding and the Company shall be deemed to have received as consideration of such price per Share, determined as provided above, therefor. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (iv) below, no additional adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(iii) If the Company shall issue, sell or otherwise distribute (other than a Pro-Rata Distribution) (including by assumption) any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable or exercisable prior to the Expiration Date or thereafter, and the price per Share for which Shares are issuable upon the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (x) the aggregate amount received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance, sale or distribution of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the maximum number of Shares issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Exercise Price, then, for purposes of Section 5(c)(i), the total maximum number of Shares issuable upon conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of the issuance, sale or distribution of such Convertible Securities thereafter shall be deemed to be outstanding and the Company shall be deemed to have received as consideration such price per Share, determined as provided above, therefor. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (iv) below, no additional adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(iv) If (x) the purchase price provided for in any Option referred to in Section 5(c)(ii) or the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the conversion or exchange of any Convertible Securities referred to in Sections 5(c)(ii) or 5(c)(iii) or the rate at which any Convertible Securities
7
referred to in Sections 5(c)(ii) or 5(c)(iii) are convertible into or exchangeable for Shares shall change at any time (other than under or by reason of provisions designed to protect against dilution upon an event which results in a related adjustment pursuant to this Section 5), or (y) any of such Options or Convertible Securities shall have terminated, lapsed or expired, the Exercise Price then in effect shall forthwith be readjusted (effective only with respect to any exercise of this Warrant after such readjustment) to the Exercise Price which would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance, sale, distribution or grant of such Options or Convertible Securities been made based upon such changed purchase price, additional consideration or conversion rate, as the case may be (in the case of any event referred to in clause (x) of this paragraph (iv)) or had such adjustment not been made (in the case of any event referred to in clause (y) of this paragraph (iv)).
(v) If any Shares, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued, sold or distributed for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount received by the Company therefore, less any expenses in excess of reasonable and customary expenses in connection therewith. If any Shares, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued, sold or distributed for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such consideration at the time of its receipt by the Company as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company, less any expenses in excess of reasonable and customary expenses incurred in connection therewith. If any Shares, Options or Convertible Securities shall be issued in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefore shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such portion of the assets and business of the non-surviving entity as shall be attributable to such Shares, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be, at the time of the merger as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (in making such determination the members of its Board of Directors may give effect to the proposed acquisition and incorporate the prospects of the performance of the assets and business of the non-surviving corporation over the 12 month period following the acquisition, including any reasonably demonstrate synergistic or value enhancing factors). If any Options shall be issued in connection with the issuance and sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integral transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, such Options shall be deemed to have been issued without consideration.
(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 5(c) in respect of: (i) the issuance of securities upon the exercise or conversion of any securities issued by the Company on prior to the date hereof, (ii) the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants, (iii) the grant of options, warrants, Shares or other common stock equivalents under any duly authorized employee stock option, restricted stock plan or stock purchase plan of the Company whether now existing or hereafter approved by the board of directors of the Company and its shareholders in the future, and the issuance of Shares in respect thereof, (iv) the issuance of securities in connection with a Strategic Transaction, or (v) the issuance of securities in a transaction described in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5 (collectively, “Excluded Issuances”). For purposes of this paragraph, a “Strategic Transaction” means a transaction or relationship in which (1) the Company issues Shares of Common Stock that the Board of Directors of the Company determined in good faith is, itself or through its Subsidiaries, an operating company in a business synergistic with the business of the Company (or a shareholder thereof) and (2) the Company expects to receive benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include (x) a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to a Person whose primary business is investing in securities or (y) issuances to lenders.
(d) Above Market Purchases of Securities. If, at any time after the date hereof, the Company or any Subsidiary shall repurchase (a “Repurchase”), by self-tender offer or otherwise, any securities of the Company at an aggregate repurchase price that exceeds the aggregate Market Price for the securities
8
repurchased determined as of the Business Day immediately prior to the earliest of (i) the date of such Repurchase, (ii) the commencement of an offer to repurchase or (iii) the public announcement of either (such date being referred to as the “Determination Date”), then the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted as follows:
(A) The Exercise Price shall be reduced to an amount equal to the product of (A) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale times (B) a fraction, (I) the numerator of which shall be (x) the product of (1) the Market Price for the Shares as of the Determination Date times (2) the number of Shares outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Repurchase less (y) the Repurchase Premium (as defined below), and (II) the denominator of which shall be (x) the product of (1) the Market Price for the Shares as of the Determination Date times (2) the number of Shares outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Repurchase.
(B) The number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number of Shares determined by multiplying (x) the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such distribution times (y) a fraction (1) the numerator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the adjustment in clause (A) of this Section 5(d) and (2) the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
The amount by which the aggregate repurchase price for all securities repurchased in any Repurchase (including for such purposes any fees or other direct or indirect consideration payable in connection therewith) exceeds the aggregate Market Price for such securities is referred to as the “Repurchase Premium.”
(e) Corporate Reorganization. Subject to an automatic cashless exercise in the event of a Qualified Change of Control pursuant to Section 2(g) hereof, in which case this Section 5(e) shall be inapplicable, if any (i) capital reorganization; (ii) reclassification of the capital stock of the Company; (iii) merger, consolidation or reorganization or other similar transaction or series of related transactions which results in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto representing immediately thereafter (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving or acquiring entity) less than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of or economic interests in the Company or such surviving or acquiring entity outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization; (iv) sale, lease, license, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (v) sale of shares of capital stock of the Company, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, representing at least 50% of the voting power of the voting securities of or economic interests in the Company; or (vi) the acquisition by any “person” (together with his, her or its Affiliates) or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Exchange Act) acquires, directly or indirectly, the beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of outstanding shares of capital stock and/or other equity securities of the Company, in a single transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, one or more tender offers or exchange offers), representing at least 50% of the voting power of or economic interests in the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the corporation (each of (i)-(vi) above a “Corporate Reorganization”) shall be effected, then the Company shall use its best efforts to ensure that lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each Warrant Holder shall thereafter continue to have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Warrant Holder, shares of stock in the surviving or acquiring entity (“Acquirer”), as the case may be, such that the aggregate value of the Warrant Holder’s warrants to purchase such number of shares, where the value of each new warrant to purchase one share in the Acquirer is determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix (A) hereto, is equivalent
9
to the aggregate value of the Warrants held by such Warrant Holder, where the value of each Warrant to purchase one share in the Company is determined in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth Appendix (B) hereto. Furthermore, the new warrants to purchase shares in the Acquirer referred to herein shall have the same expiration date as the Warrants, and shall have a strike price, KAcq, that is calculated in accordance with Appendix (A) hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, if the surviving or acquiring entity, as the case may be, is a member of a consolidated group for financial reporting purposes, the “Acquirer” shall be deemed to be the parent of such consolidated group for purposes of this Section 5(e) and Appendix (A) hereto.
Moreover, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of each Warrant Holder to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provision for adjustment of the Warrant Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly equivalent as may be practicable in relation to any shares of stock thereafter deliverable upon the exercise thereof. The Company shall not effect any such Corporate Reorganization unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof the successor corporation resulting from such consolidation or merger, or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume by written instrument, reasonably deemed by the Board of Directors of the Company and the Requisite Holders to be satisfactory in form and substance, the obligation to deliver to the holder of the Warrants, at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, such shares of stock, as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under these Warrants. The provisions of this Section 5(e) shall similarly apply to successive Corporate Reorganizations. If the Company, in spite of using its best efforts, is unable to cause these Warrants to continue in full force and effect until the Expiration Date in connection with any Corporate Reorganization, then the Company shall pay the Warrant Holders an amount per Warrant to purchase one share in the Company that is calculated in accordance with the Black-Scholes Option Pricing formula set forth in Appendix (B) hereto. Such payment shall be made in cash in the event that the Corporate Reorganization results in the shareholders of the Company receiving cash from the Acquirer at the closing of the transaction, and shall be made in shares of the Company (with the value of each share in the Company is determined according to SCorp in Appendix (B) hereto) in the event that the Corporate Reorganization results in the shareholders of the Company receiving shares in the Acquirer or other entity at the closing of the transaction. In the event that the shareholders of the Company receive both cash and shares at the closing of the transaction, such payment to the Warrant Holders shall be also be made in both cash and shares in the same proportion as the consideration received by the shareholders.
(f) Adjustment Rules.
(i) Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 5 shall be made successively whenever any event referred to herein shall occur, except that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5, no adjustment shall be made to the number of Warrant Shares to be delivered to the Warrant Holder (or to the Exercise Price) if such adjustment represents less than 1% of the number of Warrant Shares previously required to be so delivered, but any lesser adjustment shall be carried forward and shall be made at the time and together with the next subsequent adjustment which together with any adjustments so carried forward shall amount to 1% or more of the number of Warrant Shares to be so delivered.
(ii) No adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 5 in respect of the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant;
(iii) If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Shares for any purpose referred to in this Section 5, then (x) such record date shall be deemed to be the date of the issuance, sale, distribution or grant in question and (y) if the Company shall legally abandon such action prior to effecting such action, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Section 5 in respect of such action.
10
(iv) In computing adjustments under this Section 5, (A) fractional interests in Shares shall be taken into account to the nearest one-thousandth of a Share, and (B) calculations of the Exercise Price shall be carried to the nearest one-thousandth of one cent.
(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 shall cause the aggregate Exercise Price for all of the Warrant Shares to increase to more than $100.00.
(g) Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 5, the Company shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all Shares which the Warrant Holder is entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrant.
(h) Notice of Adjustment. Not less than 10 days prior to the record date or effective date, as the case may be, of any action which requires or might require an adjustment or readjustment pursuant to this Section 5, the Company shall give notice to the Warrant Holder of such event, describing such event in reasonable detail and specifying the record date or effective date, as the case may be, and, if determinable, the required adjustment and computation thereof. If the required adjustment is not determinable as the time of such notice, the Company shall give notice to the Warrant Holder of such adjustment and computation as soon as reasonably practicable after such adjustment becomes determinable. In connection with any such adjustment or readjustment, at its sole cost and expense, the Company will also cause independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing (which may be the regular auditors of the Company) selected by the Company to verify its computations and, in connection with the preparation of the Company’s quarterly financial statements prepare a report setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the consideration received or to be received by the Company for any Share Distribution issued or sold or deemed to have been issued, (ii) the number of Shares outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (iii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale and as adjusted and readjusted (if required by this Section 5) on account thereof. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such report to the Warrant Holder and will, upon the written request at any time of the Warrant Holder, furnish to such holder a like report setting forth the Exercise Price at the time in effect and showing in reasonable detail how it was calculated. The Company will also keep copies of all such reports at its office and will cause the same to be available for inspection at such office during normal business hours by the Warrant Holder or any prospective purchaser of this Warrant designated by the Warrant Holder.
(i) Subsequent Warrants. Irrespective of any adjustments in the Exercise Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, any successor or replacement warrants issued theretofore or thereafter may continue to express the same Exercise Price per Share and number and kind of Warrant Shares as are stated in this Warrant.
(j) Disputes. Any dispute which arises between the Warrant Holder and the Company with respect to the calculation of the adjusted Exercise Price or Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise shall be determined by the independent auditors of the Company, and such determination shall be binding upon the Company and the holders of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares if made in good faith and without manifest error.
11
(k) Other Actions Affecting Shares.
(i) Equitable Equivalent. In case any event shall occur as to which the provisions of this Section 5 set forth above hereof are not strictly applicable but the failure to make any adjustment would not, in the opinion of the Warrant Holder, fairly protect the purchase rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with the essential intent and principles of this Section 5, then, in each such case, at the request of the Warrant Holder, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent investment bankers of recognized national standing (which shall be completely independent of the Company and shall be satisfactory to the holder or the Requisite Holders), which shall give their opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in this Section 5, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the holder of this Warrant and shall make the adjustments described therein.
(ii) No Avoidance. The Company shall not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holder of this Warrant against dilution or other impairment as if the holder was a shareholder of the Company entitled to the benefit of fiduciary duties afforded to shareholders under Pennsylvania law.
(l) Calculation of Consideration Received. The consideration for the issue or sale of any Share Distribution shall, irrespective of the accounting treatment of such consideration:
(i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the amount of cash actually received by the Company without reduction for any expenses paid or incurred by the Company or any commissions or compensations paid or concessions or discounts allowed to underwriters, dealers or others performing similar services in connection with such issue or sale;
(ii) insofar as it consists of property (including securities) other than cash actually received by the Company, be computed at the Appraised Value thereof at the time of such issue or sale; and
(iii) insofar as it consists neither of cash nor of other property, be computed as having no value.
(m) Adjustment of Par Value. If for any reason (including the operation of the adjustment provisions set forth in this Warrant), the Exercise Price on any date of exercise of this Warrant shall not be lawful and adequate consideration for the issuance of the relevant Warrant Shares, then the Company shall take such steps as are necessary (including the amendment of its certificate of incorporation so as to reduce the par value of the Shares) to cause such Exercise Price to be adequate and lawful consideration on the date the payment thereof is due, but if the Company shall fail to take such steps, then the Company acknowledges that the Warrant Holder shall have been damaged by the Company in an amount equal to an amount, which, when added to the total Exercise Price for the relevant Warrant Shares, would equal lawful and adequate consideration for the issuance of such Warrant Shares, and the Company irrevocably agrees that if the Warrant Holder shall then forgive the right to recover such damages from the Company, such forgiveness shall constitute, and Company shall accept such forgiveness as, additional lawful consideration for the issuance of the relevant Warrant Shares.
12
(n) Appraisal.
(i) If the Requisite Holders shall, for any reason whatsoever, disagree with the Company’s determination of the Appraised Value of a Share, then such holders shall by notice to the Company (an “Appraisal Notice”) given within sixty (60) days after the Company notifies the holders of such determination, elect to dispute such determination, and such dispute shall be resolved as set forth in clause (ii) of this Section.
(ii) The Company shall within ten (10) days after an Appraisal Notice shall have been given, engage an independent investment bank of national repute (the “Appraiser”) selected by the Requisite Holders and retained pursuant to an engagement letter between the Company and the Appraiser with respect to such valuation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Requisite Holders, to make an independent determination of the Appraised Value of a Share; such value shall be determined without deduction for (a) liquidity considerations, (b) minority shareholder status, or (c) any liquidation or other preference or any right of redemption in favor of any other equity securities of the Company. The costs of engagement of such investment bank for any such determination of Appraised Value shall be paid by the Company.
(o) Trading Market Limitation.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Warrant to the contrary, unless and until the Shareholder Approval is received, no adjustment pursuant to this Section 5 shall require the Company to issue more than [ ]4 Shares upon exercise of the Warrant (“Warrant Share Cap”); provided that the Warrant Share Cap shall be adjusted in connection with any Share Reorganization in the same manner as the number of Warrant Shares is adjusted pursuant to Section 5(a).
(ii) As a condition precedent to the Company consummating any transaction that, but for the application of Section 5(o)(i), would have resulted in an adjustment which would have required the Company to issue Shares upon exercise of the Warrant in excess of the Warrant Share Cap, the Company shall obtain shareholder approval and take such other actions as reasonably necessary (collectively, the “Shareholder Approval”) to permit the issuance of Shares in excess of the Warrant Share Cap.
Section 6. Transfer of Warrant. The Warrant Holder upon transfer of the Warrant must deliver to the Company a duly executed Warrant Assignment in the form of Exhibit B and upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant with appropriate changes to reflect such Assignment, in the name or names of the assignee or assignees specified in the Warrant Assignment or other instrument of assignment and, if the Warrant Holder’s entire interest is not being transferred or assigned, in the name of the Warrant Holder, and upon the Company’s execution and delivery of such new Warrant, this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled; and provided that any assignee shall have all of the rights of an Initial Holder hereunder. The Warrant Holder shall pay any transfer tax imposed in connection with such assignment (if any). Any transfer or exchange of this Warrant shall be without charge to the Warrant Holder (except as provided above with respect to transfer taxes, if any) and any new Warrant issued shall be dated the date hereof.
Section 7. Assistance in Disposition of Warrant or Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, in the event that it becomes unlawful for the Warrant Holder to continue to hold the Warrant, in whole or in part, or some or all of the Shares held by it, or restrictions are imposed on any the Warrant Holder by any statute, regulation or governmental authority which, in the judgment of the Warrant Holder, make it unduly burdensome to continue to hold the Warrant or such Shares, the Warrant
4 | Number shall equal 15% of the outstanding Shares on the issue date of this Warrant. |
13
Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of the Warrant (subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in Section 6) or its Shares, and the Company agrees to provide reasonable assistance to the Warrant Holder in disposing of the Warrant and such Shares in a prompt and orderly manner and, at the request of the Warrant Holder, to provide (and authorize the Warrant Holder to provide) financial and other information concerning the Company to any prospective purchaser of the Warrant or Shares owned by the Warrant Holder.
Section 8 Identity of Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent for the Common Stock is Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. Upon the appointment of any subsequent transfer agent for the Shares, the Company will mail to the Warrant Holder a statement setting forth the name and address of such transfer agent.
Section 9. Covenants. The Company agrees that:

(d) Structural Dilution. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to issue, sell, distribute or otherwise grant in any manner (including by assumption) any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any warrants or options for the purchase of any equity securities of such Subsidiary or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for such equity securities (or any rights to subscribe for or to purchase, or any warrants or options for the purchase of any such convertible or exchangeable securities), whether or not immediately exercisable or exercisable prior to the Expiration Date or thereafter.

15
reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation, merger, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up and a description in reasonable detail of the transaction and (iv) the date of such issuance, together with a description of the security so issued and the consideration received by the Company therefor.

Section 10. Lost, Mutilated or Missing Warrants. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnification satisfactory to the Company (in the case of an Initial Holder its unsecured, unbonded agreement of indemnity or affidavit of loss shall be sufficient) or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Warrant Shares.
Section 11. Waivers; Amendments. Any provision of this Warrant may be amended or waived with (but only with) the written consent of the Company and the Requisite Holders; provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, without the written consent of the Company and the Warrant Holder, (a) change the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant or the Exercise Price, (b) shorten the Expiration Date, or (c) amend, modify or waive the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Requisite Holders.” Any amendment or waiver effected in compliance with this Section shall be binding upon the Company and the Warrant Holder. The Company shall give prompt notice to the Warrant Holder of any amendment or waiver effected in compliance with this Section. No failure or delay of the Company or the Warrant Holder in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereon or the exercise of any other right or power. No notice or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle the Company to any other or future notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. The rights and remedies of the Company and the Warrant Holder hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have.
Section 12. Miscellaneous.
(a) Shareholder Rights. The Warrant shall not entitle any Warrant Holder, prior to the exercise of the Warrant, to any voting rights as a shareholder of the Company.

The Company shall not be required to pay any expenses of the Warrant Holder under any other circumstance including those arising solely in connection with a transfer of the Warrant.
(c) Successors and Assigns. All the provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Company or the Warrant Holder shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.
(d) Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Warrant shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
16
(e) Notices. Any notice or other communication hereunder shall be in writing and shall be sufficient if sent by first-class mail or courier, postage prepaid, and addressed as follows: (a) if to the Company, addressed to the Company at its address for notices as set forth below its signature hereon or any other address as the Company may hereafter notify to the Warrant Holder and(b) if to the Warrant Holder, addressed to such address as the Warrant Holder may hereafter from time to time notify to the Company for the purposes of notice hereunder.
(f) Equitable Remedies. Without limiting the rights of the Company and the Warrant Holder to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to such party for the other parties’ failure to perform its obligations hereunder, the Company and the Warrant Holder each hereto acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any failure to perform any obligations hereunder would be inadequate and that each shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure.
(g) Continued Effect. Rights and benefits conferred on the holders of Warrant Shares pursuant to the provisions hereof shall continue to inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, such holders, notwithstanding the surrender of the Warrant to, and its cancellation by, the Company upon the full or partial exercise or repurchase hereof.
(h) Confidentiality. The Warrant Holder agrees to keep confidential any proprietary information relating to the Company delivered by the Company hereunder; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Warrant Holder from disclosing such information: (i) to any holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares, (ii) to any Affiliate of any holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares or any actual or potential transferee of the rights or obligations hereunder that agrees to be bound by this Section 12(h), (iii) upon order, subpoena, or other process of any court or administrative agency or otherwise required by law, (iv) upon the request or demand of any regulatory agency or authority having jurisdiction over such party, (v) which has been publicly disclosed, (vi) which has been obtained from any Person that is not a party hereto or an affiliate of any such party and which was not disclosed to the Warrant Holder in violation of a confidentiality obligation to the Company known to the Warrant Holder, (vii) as may be required in connection with the exercise of any remedy, or the resolution of any dispute hereunder (provided that the Warrant Holder uses commercially reasonable efforts to prevent further dissemination of the information), or (viii) to the legal counsel or certified public accountants for any holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares.
(i) Governing Law. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF LAW.
