TERMS RELATING TO NOTES AND WARRANTS
3.01 Payments and Endorsements. Payments of principal and interest on the Notes shall be made without setoff or counterclaim directly by means of wire transfer in accordance with the written instructions provided to the Company by the holder of each Note, without any presentment or notation of payment, except that prior to any transfer of any Note, the holder thereof shall endorse on such Note a record of the date to which interest has been paid and all payments made on account of principal of such Note. All payments and prepayments of
12
principal of and interest on the Notes shall be applied (to the extent thereof) to all of the Notes pro rata based on the principal amount outstanding and held by each holder thereof.
3.02. Redemptions of Notes.
(a) Required Liquidity Redemptions. In the event and upon the closing of a Qualifying Liquidity Event, the Company shall redeem, without penalty or premium, all of the outstanding Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest then due thereon.
(b) Optional Redemptions. In addition to the redemption of the Notes required under subsection 3.02(a), the Company may, at any time and from time to time, redeem, without penalty or premium, the Notes, in whole or in part (in integral multiples of $1,000), together with interest due on the amount so redeemed through the date of redemption. Partial redemptions made as provided in this subsection 3.02(b) shall, to the extent thereof, be applied first to pay any accrued and unpaid interest due on the Note and then to reduce any the principal due at maturity of the Notes.
(c) Notice of Redemptions; Pro Rata Redemptions. Notice of any optional redemption pursuant to subsection 3.02(b) shall be given to all holders of the Notes at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of such redemption and notice of any required redemption pursuant to Section 3.02(a) shall be given to all holders of the Notes at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the closing of a Qualifying Liquidity Event. Each redemption of Notes pursuant to subsection 3.02(b) shall be made so that the Notes then held by each holder shall be redeemed in a principal amount which shall bear the same ratio to the total unpaid principal amount being redeemed on all Notes as the unpaid principal amount of Notes then held by such holder bears to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all of the Notes then outstanding.
3.03. Default Rate of Interest. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing pursuant to Sections 8.01(a), 8.01(b) or 8.01(f) hereof, from and after the date such Event of Default occurred the entire outstanding unpaid principal balance of the Notes and any matured but unpaid interest from time to time due thereon, shall bear interest, payable on demand at the rate of seventeen percent (17%) per annum, or such lower rate as then may be the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, provided, however, that upon the cessation or cure of such Event of Default, if no other Event of Default pursuant to Sections 8.01(a), 8.01(b) or 8.01(f) is then continuing, the Notes shall resume bearing interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.01 from the date such Events of Default are cured.
3.04. Maximum Legal Rate of Interest. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Notes shall require the Company to pay interest at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Any interest payable under the Notes or under any other instrument relating to the indebtedness evidenced thereby that is in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law shall, in the event of acceleration of maturity, late payment, prepayment, or otherwise, be applied to a reduction of the unrepaid indebtedness evidenced thereby and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of such unrepaid indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to the Company. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law,
13
determination of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law shall at all times be made by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts, during the full term of the indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received from the Company in connection with the indebtedness evidenced thereby, so that the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness is uniform throughout such term.
3.05. Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made on the Notes shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation and payment of interest due.
3.06. Transfer and Exchange of Notes. The holder of any Note or Notes may, prior to maturity or prepayment thereof, surrender such Note or Notes at the principal office of the Company for transfer or exchange. Any holder desiring to transfer or exchange any Note shall first notify the Company in writing at least ten (10) days in advance of such transfer or exchange. Within a reasonable time after such notice to the Company from a holder of its intention to make such exchange and without expense (other than transfer taxes, if any) to such holder, the Company shall issue in exchange therefor another Note or Notes, in such denominations as requested by the holder, for the same aggregate principal amount, as of the date of such issuance, as the unpaid principal amount of the Note or Notes so surrendered and having the same maturity and rate of interest, containing the same provisions and subject to the same terms and conditions as the Note or Notes so surrendered. Each new Note shall be made payable to such Person or Persons, or assigns, as the holder of such surrendered Note or Notes may designate, and such transfer or exchange shall be made in such a manner that no gain or loss of principal or interest shall result therefrom.
3.07. Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note and, if requested by the Company in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity bond or other agreement or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Company will issue a new Note, of like tenor and amount and dated the date to which interest has been paid, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note; provided, however, if any Note of which a Purchaser, its nominee, or any of its partners is the holder is lost, stolen or destroyed, the affidavit of an authorized partner or officer of the holder setting forth the circumstances with respect to such loss, theft or destruction shall be accepted as satisfactory evidence thereof, and no indemnification bond or other security shall be required as a condition to the execution and delivery by the Company of a new Note in replacement of such lost, stolen or destroyed Note other than the holder’s written agreement to indemnify the Company.
3.08. Guaranty.
(a) The Subsidiaries hereby jointly and severally unconditionally guarantee (the “Guaranty”) due payment, performance and fulfillment to the Purchaser of the Obligations, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or
14
hereafter arising or acquired, sole, joint or several, and whether consisting of obligations to pay money or to perform obligations (the “Guaranteed Obligations”).
(b) The Guaranty shall operate as a continuing and absolute guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full.
(c) Notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and notices of transactions entered into in reliance hereon are hereby waived. The Subsidiaries consent to any renewal, extension or postponement of the time of payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any other forbearance or indulgence with respect thereto and consent to any substitution, exchange, modification or release of any security therefor or the release of any other person primarily or secondarily liable on any of the Guaranteed Obligations whether or not notice thereof shall be given to the Subsidiaries, and agree to the provisions of any instrument, security or other writing evidencing or securing any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the enforcement hereof shall not be affected by the delay or failure of the Purchaser to take any action with respect to any security, right, obligation, guaranty or other means of collecting the Guaranteed Obligations which it may at any time hold, including perfection or enforcement thereof, or by any change with respect to the Company in the form or manner of doing business, it being hereby agreed that the Subsidiaries shall be and remain jointly and severally bound upon this Guaranty irrespective of any action, delay or omission by the Purchaser in dealing with the Company, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any collateral therefor or any person at any time liable with respect thereto.
(d) On any default or failure by the Company to pay or perform any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the liability of the Subsidiaries hereunder shall be effective immediately and the Subsidiaries waive all requirements of notice, demand, presentment or protest and any right which the Subsidiaries might otherwise have to require the Purchaser first to proceed against the Company or against any other person or first to realize on any security held by it before proceeding against any or all of the Subsidiaries for the enforcement of this Guaranty. The Subsidiaries shall not assert any right arising from payment or other performance hereunder, whether by set-off or counterclaim, or claim of indemnity, reimbursement, subrogation or otherwise, until the Subsidiaries’ liability hereunder shall have been discharged in full and all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fulfilled.
(e) If for any reason the Company is under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or if any amounts included in the Guaranteed Obligations shall have become irrecoverable from the Company by operation of law or for any other reason, or if any security or other guaranty shall be found invalid, the Subsidiaries shall nonetheless be and remain jointly and severally bound upon this Guaranty.
(f) Any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from the Purchaser to the Subsidiaries, and any securities or other property of any or all of the Subsidiaries at any time held by the Purchaser may at all times be held and treated as security for all obligations of the Subsidiaries hereunder. Regardless of the adequacy of security the Purchaser
15
may apply or set off such deposits or other sums against such obligations (whether or not then due or payable) at any time.
3.09. Insufficiency of Funds. In the event that any or all of the Repurchase Price is not paid to any holder entitled thereto as a result of the insufficiency of legally available funds under the Delaware General Corporation Law or otherwise, including if such repurchase is prohibited by the terms of any Senior Debt to the Senior Lenders or incurred upon any Permitted Refinancing thereof, the obligation to effect the repurchase shall remain an obligation of the Company and shall be performed as soon as there are funds legally available therefor or such other impediment to repurchase is removed. Interest shall accrue on the Repurchase Price of any such unperformed obligations at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, compounded on a quarterly basis, to the extent permitted by law. Such interest shall become due and payable on the date when the Repurchase Price is payable.
3.10. Subordination. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes, the Equity Sponsor Fee and certain other of the Obligations are and will be subordinated in right of payment and otherwise to the Senior Debt owing to DVI on the terms set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

(g) The Company or any Subsidiary representing at least 10% of the consolidated revenue of the Company in either the last preceding fiscal year or the last preceding fiscal quarter shall be involved in financial difficulties evidenced (i) by its admitting in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; (ii) by its commencement of a voluntary case under Title 11 of the United States Code as from time to time in effect, or by its authorizing, by appropriate proceedings of its board of directors or other governing body, the commencement of such a voluntary case; (iii) by its filing an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to deny the material allegations of a petition filed against it commencing an involuntary case under said Title 11, or seeking, consenting to or acquiescing in the relief therein provided, or by its failing to controvert timely the material allegations of any such petition; (iv) by the entry of an order for relief in any involuntary case commenced under said Title 11; (v) by its seeking relief as a debtor under any applicable law, other than said Title 11, of any jurisdiction relating to the liquidation or reorganization of debtors or to the modification or alteration of the rights of creditors, or by its consenting to or acquiescing in such relief; (vi) by the entry of an order by a court of competent jurisdiction (a) finding it to be bankrupt or insolvent, (b) ordering or approving its liquidation, reorganization or any modification or alteration of the rights of its creditors, or (c) assuming custody of, or appointing a receiver or other custodian for, all or a substantial part of its property; or (vii) by its making an assignment for the benefit of, or entering into a composition with, its creditors, or appointing or consenting to the appointment of a receiver or other custodian for all or a substantial part of its property; or
(h) Any judgment, writ, warrant of attachment or execution or similar process shall be issued or levied against a substantial part of the property of the Company or any Subsidiary and such judgment, writ, or similar process shall not be released, vacated or fully bonded within sixty (60) days after its issue or levy;
then, and in any such event listed in Section 8.01(a) through (h),
44
(1) the Purchaser may, by notice to the Company, declare the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Notes, all such accrued interest and all such amounts shall become and be forthwith due and payable (unless there shall have occurred an Event of Default under subsection 8.01(g) in which case all such amounts shall automatically become due and payable), without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Company and each Subsidiary, and
(2) the Purchaser may proceed to protect and enforce their rights by suit in equity (including without limitation a suit for rescission), action at law and/or other appropriate proceeding either for specific performance of any covenant, provision or condition contained or incorporated by reference in this Agreement or any term of the Charter, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or in the Charter, and, immediately, in the case of Section 8.01(g) hereof, and at any time after the giving of the put notice to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Warrants, the theretofore unexercised “put” rights set forth in the Warrants shall, to the extent not already exercisable, be deemed to have become immediately exercisable and thereafter any Purchaser may in such put to the Company declare all or part of such theretofore unexercised “put” rights to be forthwith exercised and due and payable (unless there shall have occurred an Event of Default under Section 8.01(g) hereof, in which case such “put” rights shall be automatically exercised and due and payable), whereupon the repurchase price for the Warrant and the Warrant Exercise Shares subject thereto shall become so due and payable without presentation, presentment, protest or further demand or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived), and any such holder or holders may proceed to enforce payment of such amount or part thereof in such manner as it or they may elect.
Without in any way limiting the rights of the holders of the Notes, the Company and the Subsidiaries hereby agree that the holders of the Warrants and the Warrant Exercise Shares would have no adequate remedy at law, for monetary compensation or otherwise, for the damages that would be suffered if the Company were to fail to comply with its obligations under the put right provisions of the Warrants, and that the Company and the Subsidiaries therefore agrees that the holders of the Warrants and the Warrant Exercise Shares shall be entitled to obtain specific performance of the Company’s obligations under the put right provisions of the Warrants.
8.02. Annulment of Defaults. Section 8.01 is subject to the condition that, if at any time after the principal of any of the Notes shall have become due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys so due, or any portion thereof, shall have been entered, then and in every such case the holders of a majority in principal amount of all Notes then outstanding may, by written instrument filed with the Company, rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences, provided, however, that no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

In addition, the Company agrees to pay any and all stamp and other taxes payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants, the other Ancillary Documents, and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder or thereunder and the Company agrees to save each Purchaser harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to pay such taxes and filing fees.
9.05. Binding Effect; Assignment.

If any holder of the Notes receives any payment on its Notes in excess of its pro rata portion, then such holder receiving such excess payment shall purchase for cash from the other holders an interest in their Notes in such amounts as shall result in a ratable participation by all of the holders in the aggregate unpaid amount of Notes then outstanding.

The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, members, partners, counsel, employees, agents, brokers and other representatives from and against any and all liability (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees incurred in defending against any such liability) as a result of any violation or breach of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Documents that require execution by the Purchaser, except to the extent such liability shall result from any act or omission on the part of Company or any of its directors, officers, members, partners, counsel, employees, agents, brokers or other representatives. The obligations under this Section 9.07 shall survive and continue to be in full force and effect notwithstanding (a) the repayment of the Notes and (b) the termination of this Agreement.

49
9.12. Waiver of Right to Jury Trial. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury for all legal proceedings concerning this Agreement, the Notes or the Warrants.
9.13. Headings. Article, Section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. Any reference herein to an Article, Section or subsection is, unless otherwise indicated, a reference to that Article, Section or subsection of this Agreement.

9.18. No Limitation. Nothing in Section 9.16, , 9.17 or 9.19 shall affect the right of any Purchaser to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that any Purchaser may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.
9.19. Specific Performance. Upon breach or default by the Company with respect to any obligation hereunder or any of the Ancillary Documents, each Purchaser shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights at law, or in equity or by other appropriate proceedings for specific performance of such obligation, or for an injunction against such breach or default, or in aid of the exercise of any power or remedy granted hereby or thereby or by law.
50
9.20. Actions by Purchaser.
