(e) Borrowers waive all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Agents or any DIP Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Agent’s or such DIP Lender’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Borrowers under applicable law.

(f) The provisions of this Section 2.06 are made for the benefit of the Agents, the DIP Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by it or them from time to time against either Borrower as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any such Agent, DIP Lender, successor, or assign first to marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against the other Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any guarantor or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.06 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Agent or DIP Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of either Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.06 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.

If a DIP Lender or Agent becomes aware that it is entitled to claim a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or (c), it shall make reasonable efforts to timely claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund at Borrowers’ expense, provided that, in the determination of such DIP Lender or Agent, it does not prejudice the interests of such DIP Lender or Agent. If a DIP Lender or Agent actually receives a payment of a refund (including pursuant to a claim for refund made pursuant to the preceding sentence) in respect of any Indemnified Tax or Other Tax as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to Section 3.04(a) or (c), it shall within thirty (30) days from the date of such receipt pay over the amount of such refund to Borrowers, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such DIP Lender or Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrowers, upon the request of such DIP Lender or Agent, agree to repay the amount paid over to a Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other reasonable charges) to such DIP Lender or Agent in the event such DIP Lender or Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

(g) Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify or to pay any additional amounts to the DIP Lender or Agent with respect to Indemnified Taxes pursuant to Section 3.04(a) to the extent that any obligation to withhold, deduct or pay amounts with respect to such Indemnified Tax was in effect and would apply to amounts payable on the date that such DIP Lender or Agent became a party to this Agreement.

(h) Without affecting its rights under Section 3.04(a) or any provision of this Agreement, each DIP Lender and each Agent agrees that if any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are imposed and required by law to be paid or to be withheld from any amount payable to any DIP Lender or Agent with respect to which Borrowers would be obligated to indemnify such DIP Lender or Agent pursuant to Section 3.04(c), such DIP Lender or Agent shall use reasonable efforts to select an alternative lending office which would not result in the imposition of such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that such change in the good faith judgment of such DIP Lender is not otherwise disadvantageous to such DIP Lender.

Section 3.05 Exit Financing. On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall grant to the Arranger or its assignee(s) an exclusive right, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, to procure for Borrowers an exit financing or post-emergence financing acceptable to Borrowers and the Instructing Group, on such terms and conditions (including compensation to the Arranger) as Borrowers and the Arranger shall agree, provided that the exclusivity of the Arranger’s right to procure any such financing shall not apply, and Borrowers shall be free to engage one or more other Persons to procure such financing for Borrowers, so long as Arranger is entitled to participate with such other Person(s) as a co-arranger or co-placement agent on an equal and pari passu basis.

ARTICLE IV
INTEREST AND FEES

Section 4.01 Interest on the DIP Loans and Other Obligations.

(a) Interest on DIP Loans. On each Interest Payment Date from the Funding Date of such DIP Loan through and including the date such Funded DIP Loan is repaid in full, interest shall accrue at the Interest Rate and Borrowers agree to pay all such accrued interest on the Maturity Date. Any interest so accrued shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date of accrual and Borrowers agree to pay all such accrued interest on the Maturity Date. All computations of interest hereunder shall be made on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.

(b) Default Interest. So long as any Event of Default shall be continuing, the rate of interest applicable to the DIP Loans then outstanding or due and owing and any other amount bearing interest hereunder shall each be increased by 8% per annum above the Interest Rate otherwise applicable to the applicable DIP Loans.

(c) Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 4.01, if at any time until payment in full of the DIP Loans, the interest rate payable on any DIP Loans exceeds the highest rate of interest permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (the “Highest Lawful Rate”), then in such event and only for so long as the Highest Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable on such DIP Loans shall be equal to the Highest Lawful Rate. Thereafter, the interest rate payable on such DIP Loans shall be the applicable interest rate pursuant to Sections 4.01(a) and (b) unless and until such rate again exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, in which event this paragraph shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any DIP Lender for any DIP Loans pursuant to the terms hereof exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received for such DIP Loans had the interest due hereunder for such DIP Loans been calculated for the full term thereof at the Highest Lawful Rate. Interest on the Highest Lawful Rate shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Highest Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction shall make a determination that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.01(c), a DIP Lender has received interest hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, such DIP Lender shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, promptly apply such excess first to any interest due or accrued and not yet paid under the DIP Loans, then to the outstanding principal of the DIP Loans, then to other unpaid Obligations and thereafter shall refund any excess to Borrowers or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise order.

Section 4.02 Change in Law; Illegality.

(a) If the adoption or implementation of, or any change in (or the interpretation, administration or application of), any Applicable Law shall, in each case after the date hereof, (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any DIP Lender or (ii) impose on any DIP Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement and the result of any of the foregoing under (i) or (ii) of this Section 4.02(a) shall be to increase the cost to such DIP Lender of maintaining any DIP Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such DIP Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrowers will pay to such DIP Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such DIP Lender for such additional costs incurred to the extent that such DIP Lender reasonably determines that such increase in cost be allocable to the existence of such DIP Lender’s DIP Loans or its commitment to lend hereunder.

(b) If any DIP Lender reasonably determines that the introduction of or any change in any Applicable Law regarding capital requirements, in each case after the date hereof, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such DIP Lender’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement or the DIP Loans made by such DIP Lender to a level below that which such DIP Lender could have achieved but for such change in the Applicable Law (taking into consideration such DIP Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrowers will pay to such DIP Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such DIP Lender for any such reduction suffered to the extent that such DIP Lender reasonably determines that such additional amounts are allocable to the existence of such DIP Lender’s DIP Loans or its commitment to lend hereunder.

(c) A certificate of a DIP Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such DIP Lender as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 4.02 shall be delivered to Borrowers and shall be binding and conclusive for all purposes, so long as it reflects the basis for the calculation of the amounts set forth therein and does not contain any manifest error. Borrowers shall pay such DIP Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the applicable DIP Lender shall take such actions (including changing the office of location of the funding of the DIP Loans) that Borrowers may reasonably request in order to reduce the amounts payable under Section 4.02(a) or (b), provided that Borrowers shall reimburse such DIP Lender for any costs incurred by such DIP Lender in doing so to the extent that such DIP Lender reasonably determines that such costs are allocable to Borrowers with respect to the existence of such DIP Lender’s DIP Loans or commitment to lend hereunder and provided further that such DIP Lender shall only be required to take such actions if it determines in good faith that such actions would not be disadvantageous to it, and (ii) Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a DIP Lender under Section 4.02(a) and (b) for any costs or additional amounts arising more than 180 days prior to the date that such DIP Lender notifies Borrowers of the event giving rise to such costs and amounts of such DIP Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor and, if the event giving rise to such increased costs and amounts is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to in this clause (ii) shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

Section 4.03 Legal Counsel Fees. The Borrowers shall pay all fees of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent if, as and when such fees and/or expenses are incurred.

Section 4.04 Administrative Agent Fee. Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent (a) on the Closing Date, the amount of $10,000 and (b) after the Closing Date an amount equal to the greater of (i) $2,500 per month or (ii) $2,500 for each Borrowing Request submitted to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

Section 4.05 Arranging Agent Fee. On the Closing Date, (a) Borrowers shall pay to the Arranger an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate amount of Commitments of the DIP Lenders not arranged by any Sub-Arranger and (b) to the extent that any Sub-Arranger has arranged for a Commitment, Borrowers shall pay (i) to such Sub-Arranger an amount equal to eight percent (8%) of the aggregate amount of Commitments arranged by such Sub-Arranger and (ii) to the Arranger two percent (2%) of such Commitments. In addition, Borrowers shall pay any fees required by FINRA in connection with any underwriter confirmation filing under FINRA Rule 2710 made by the Arranger in connection with arranging for Persons to make DIP Loans under this Agreement.

If any Event of Default specified in Section 11.01 shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the written request of Instructing Group shall, take any or all of the following actions: (i) terminate or reduce the Commitments, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately be terminated or reduced, (ii) declare all or a portion of the DIP Loans then outstanding to be due and payable, whereupon all or such portion of the aggregate principal of such DIP Loans, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all fees and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and all other Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrowers and (iii) exercise any and all of its or the DIP Lenders’ other rights and remedies, or waive or decline to exercise any of its or the DIP Lenders’ rights or remedies, hereunder, under the other Loan Documents, under Applicable Law and otherwise; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 11.01(f) or (g), the DIP Loans then outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all fees, all other amounts due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and all other Obligations shall become immediately due and payable automatically, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrowers and provided further that the Collateral Agent shall pay and apply the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, resulting from the exercise of the remedies as provided for in this Section 11.02 in accordance with Section 2.05.

Section 11.03 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the DIP Lenders under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The DIP Lenders shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the UCC, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the DIP Lenders of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the DIP Lenders of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by any DIP Lender shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it. In addition to all such rights and remedies, the DIP Lenders shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and the sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, by the DIP Lenders after an Event of Default may be for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and any DIP Lender may purchase all or any part of the Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale, and in lieu of actual payment of such purchase price, may set off the amount of such purchase price against the Obligations then owing. Any sale of all or part of the Collateral may be adjourned from time to time with or without notice. The DIP Lenders shall have the right to conduct such sales on Borrowers’ premises, at Borrowers’ expense, or elsewhere, on such occasion or occasions as the DIP Lenders may see fit.

Section 11.04 Entry Upon Premises and Access to Information. The DIP Lenders shall have the right (i) to cause the Collateral to remain on Borrowers’ premises, (ii) to enter upon the premises of Borrowers where the Collateral is located or any other place or places where the Collateral is believed to be located and kept to render the Collateral unusable or saleable, or to remove the Collateral therefrom to the premises of any DIP Lender or any agent of a DIP Lender, at Borrowers’ expense, for such time as the Instructing Group may desire in order effectively to collect or liquidate the Collateral, and (iii) to require Borrowers to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the DIP Lenders at a place or places to be designated by the Instructing Group; provided, however, that the automatic stay shall not be deemed vacated and modified with respect to the exercise by the DIP Lenders of any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral following an Event of Default unless and until the Instructing Group has given Borrowers and the Office of the United States Trustee three (3) Business Days’ prior notice of the DIP Lenders’ intention to exercise such remedies. Upon acceleration of the Obligations, the DIP Lenders shall have the right to take possession of Borrowers’ original books and records, to obtain access to Borrowers’ data processing equipment and computer hardware and software relating to the Collateral and to use all of the foregoing and the information contained therein in any manner the Instructing Group deems appropriate; and the DIP Lenders shall have the right to notify postal authorities to change the address for delivery of Borrowers’ mail to an address designated by the Instructing Group and to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrowers and to take possession of all checks or other original remittances contained in such mail.

Section 11.05 Sale or Other Disposition of Collateral by the DIP Lenders. Upon acceleration of the Obligations, any notice required to be given by the DIP Lenders of a sale, lease or other disposition or other intended action by the DIP Lenders with respect to any of the Collateral which is deposited in the United States mails, postage prepaid and duly addressed to Borrowers at the address specified herein, at least three (3) days prior to such proposed action, shall constitute fair and reasonable notice to Borrowers of any such action. The net proceeds realized by the DIP Lenders upon any such sale or other disposition, after deduction for the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, transporting, preparing for sale, selling or otherwise disposing of the Collateral incurred by the DIP Lenders in connection therewith, shall be applied as provided herein toward satisfaction of the Obligations. The DIP Lenders shall account to Borrowers for any surplus realized upon such sale or other disposition, and Borrowers shall remain liable for any deficiency. The commencement of any action, legal or equitable, or the rendering of any judgment or decree for any deficiency shall not affect the DIP Lenders’ Liens on the Collateral until the Obligations are fully paid. Borrowers agree that no DIP Lender has any obligation to preserve rights to the Collateral against any other Person. For the purpose of enabling the DIP Lenders to exercise their rights, powers and remedies under this Article XI in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of the Collateral, at such time as the DIP Lenders shall be entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, the DIP Lenders are hereby granted a license, lease or other right to use, without charge, Borrowers’ General Intangibles, Intellectual Property, Equipment, fixtures and Real Estate Assets, whether part of the Collateral or not, including, without limitation, any patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, or any other Property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale or lease and selling or leasing any Inventory or other Collateral and Borrowers’ rights under all licenses, leases and franchise agreements shall inure to the benefit of the DIP Lenders until all Obligations are paid in full.

Section 11.06 Automatic Stay. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the automatic stay provided in section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed automatically vacated as to the DIP Lenders without further order of the Bankruptcy Court and the DIP Lenders shall be immediately permitted, to, inter alia, pursue any and all of their remedies against Borrowers and/or the Collateral and seek payment in respect of all Obligations; provided, however, that the automatic stay shall not be deemed vacated and modified with respect to the exercise by the DIP Lenders of any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral following an Event of Default unless and until the Instructing Group has given Borrowers and the Office of United States Trustee three (3) Business Days’ prior notice of the DIP Lenders’ intention to exercise such remedies.

Section 11.07 Waiver of Notice. UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF A DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT, THE BORROWERS HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO NOTICE AND HEARING OF ANY KIND PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY THE LENDERS OF RIGHTS TO REPOSSESS THE COLLATERAL WITHOUT JUDICIAL PROCESS OR TO REPLEVY, ATTACH OR LEVY UPON THE COLLATERAL WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING, THE BENEFIT OF ALL VALUATION, APPRAISAL AND EXEMPTION LAWS AND ALL RIGHTS OF SET-OFF AGAINST ANY DIP LENDER AS IT APPLIES TO THE PAYMENT OF THE OBLIGATIONS. THE BORROWERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY COUNSEL OF THEIR CHOICE WITH RESPECT TO THIS TRANSACTION AND THIS AGREEMENT.

(a) Each DIP Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Viriathus Services LLC Series as Administrative Agent and as its Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Each such Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this ARTICLE XII. The provisions of this ARTICLE XII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the DIP Lenders. Neither Borrowers nor any other Persons shall have any rights or benefits under this ARTICLE XII whether as third-party beneficiaries or otherwise, save and except only Borrowers’ right to consent to a successor Agent to the extent provided under Section 12.08. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, (i) no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, (ii) no Agent has, shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any DIP Lender, (iii) no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Agent, and (iv) it is expressly understood, acknowledged and agreed that the use of the word “Agent” is for convenience only and that each such Agent is merely the representative of the DIP Lenders, and has only the contractual duties set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, each such Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which such Agent is expressly entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. No DIP Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against each such Agent as a result of such Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder pursuant to such discretion and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such discretion shall be binding on the DIP Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, each DIP Lender agrees that, as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (i) (A) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the DIP Loans, the Collections and related matters and (B) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Collateral and related matters; (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents; (iii) the Agents shall have the right to exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections as provided in the Loan Documents; (iv) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to open and maintain such bank accounts and lock boxes as the Collateral Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collections and the Collateral; (v) (A) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the DIP Lenders with respect to Borrowers, the Obligations, the Collections, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents and (B) the Collateral Agent shall have the right to perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the DIP Lenders with respect to Borrowers, the Obligations, the Collateral, or otherwise related to any of the same as provided in the Loan Documents; and (vi) each of the Agents shall have the right to incur and pay such fees, charges, and expenses under the Loan Documents as such Agent reasonably may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Obligation as the holder thereof for all purposes of the Loan Documents unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer of such Obligation that is in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. Each DIP Lender further consents to (x) the execution, delivery, and performance by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent of each Loan Document entered into by such Agent on behalf of the DIP Lenders as contemplated by this Agreement, and (y) the terms of such Loan Documents.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 12.01, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (i) may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and (ii) shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects as long as such selection was made in compliance with this section and without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c) None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable to any DIP Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any DIP Lender for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrowers or any Affiliate of Borrowers, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrowers or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any DIP Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrowers.

Section 12.02 Reliance by Agents. Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers or counsel to any DIP Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it first shall receive such advice or concurrence of the DIP Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, such Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent so requests, it first shall be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the DIP Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in all cases shall be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Instructing Group or the DIP Lenders, as required under this Agreement, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant to such request or consent shall be binding upon all DIP Lenders.

Section 12.03 Defaults. With respect to its relationship with any of the DIP Lenders, no Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the scheduled payment of principal and interest required to be paid to such Agent for the account of the DIP Lenders and except with respect to Events of Default of which such Agent has actual knowledge due to receipt of a written notice thereof from a DIP Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. Each Agent promptly will notify the DIP Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which such Agent has actual knowledge. If any DIP Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such DIP Lender promptly shall notify the other DIP Lenders and each Agent of such Event of Default. Each DIP Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 12.03 and Section 12.07, each Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Instructing Group in accordance with ARTICLE XI; provided, however, that unless and until such Agent has received any such request, such Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in its sole discretion.

Section 12.04 Rights as a DIP Lender.

(a) With respect to its Commitments and the DIP Loans made by it, the Administrative Agent (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent, if any, as permitted by Section 12.08(a)) in its capacity as a DIP Lender under the Loan Documents shall have the same rights, privileges and powers under the Loan Documents as any other DIP Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the term “DIP Lender” or “DIP Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account for the same to any DIP Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, principal investment or other business with Borrowers (and any of their Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent (and its successors) and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from Borrowers (or any other Person) for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the DIP Lenders.

(b) With respect to its Commitments and the DIP Loans made by it, the Collateral Agent (and any successor acting as Collateral Agent, if any, as permitted by Section 12.08(b)) in its capacity as a DIP Lender under the Loan Documents shall have the same rights, privileges and powers under the Loan Documents as any other DIP Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Collateral Agent, and the term “DIP Lender” or “DIP Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity. The Collateral Agent (and any successor acting as Collateral Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account for the same to any DIP Lender) accept deposits from, lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, principal investment or other business with Borrowers (and any of its Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent (and its successors) and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from Borrowers (or any other Person) for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the DIP Lenders.

Section 12.05 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. Each Agent may incur and pay fees, costs, and expenses under the Loan Documents to the extent such Agent deems reasonably necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, costs of collection by outside collection agencies and auctioneer fees and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrowers are obligated to reimburse the DIP Lenders for such expenses pursuant to the DIP Loan Agreement or otherwise (to the extent Borrowers have not done so and without limiting its obligation to do so). Each DIP Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent for the amount of such DIP Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree to seek reimbursement from Borrowers for all reimbursable expenses prior to seeking reimbursement from the DIP Lenders. The DIP Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent Borrowers have not done so and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so), according to their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Matters (including without limitation Indemnified Matters arising under any Environmental Law as provided in Section 13.16); provided, however, that no DIP Lender shall be liable for the payment to the Agent-Related Persons of any portion of such Indemnified Matters resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final order by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each DIP Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, upon demand for such DIP Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein. The undertaking in this Section 12.05 shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of any Agent.

Section 12.06 Non-Reliance on Agents and Other DIP Lenders. Each DIP Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs or Property of Borrowers, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any DIP Lender. Each DIP Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers and any other Person (other than the DIP Lenders) party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrowers. Each DIP Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers and any other Person (other than the DIP Lenders) party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the DIP Lenders by such Agent, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any DIP Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, Property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrowers or of any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.

Section 12.07 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of any Agent under the Loan Documents, such Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act under any Loan Document unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the DIP Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 12.05 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

Section 12.08 Resignation of Agent.

(a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notice to the DIP Lenders and Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Instructing Group with the consent of Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed by the Instructing Group and consented to by the Borrowers and no successor Administrative Agent shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the DIP Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent; provided, however, if the failure to do so was not a result of the failure by Borrowers to consent to any appointment, Borrowers shall retain the right to consent; provided further, that if the failure to do so was not a result of the failure of the Instructing Group to appoint such successor, the Instructing Group shall obtain the right to consent to such successor. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, remedies, powers, privileges, duties and obligations of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations, under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this ARTICLE XII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

(b) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent as provided below, the Collateral Agent may resign upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the DIP Lenders and Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, the Instructing Group with the consent of Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been appointed by the Instructing Group and consented to by Borrowers and no successor Collateral Agent shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Collateral Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the DIP Lenders, appoint a successor Collateral Agent; provided, however, if the failure to do so was not a result of the failure by Borrowers to consent to any appointment, Borrowers shall retain the right to consent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, remedies, powers, privileges, duties and obligations of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations, under the Loan Documents. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation as the Collateral Agent, the provisions of this ARTICLE XII shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Collateral Agent.

Section 12.09 Collateral Sub-Agents. Each DIP Lender by its execution and delivery of this Agreement (or any Assignment and Acceptance hereunder), agrees that, in the event it shall hold any monies or other investments on account of Borrowers, such monies or other investments shall be held in the name and under the control of the Administrative Agent or such DIP Lender, and the Administrative Agent or such DIP Lender shall hold such monies or other investments as a collateral sub-agent for Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrowers, by their execution and delivery of this Agreement, hereby consent to the foregoing.

Section 12.10 Communications by Borrowers. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Borrowers’ communications with respect to the Loan Documents shall be with the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and Borrowers shall be under no obligation to communicate directly with the DIP Lenders.

Section 12.11 Collateral Matters.

(a) The DIP Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion and as promptly as practicable, to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all Obligations owed to the DIP Lenders (other than those contingent Obligations for reimbursement and indemnity that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement); (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Borrowers certify in writing to the Collateral Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and the Collateral Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry); (iii) constituting property in which Borrowers owned no interest at the time the security interest was granted or at any time thereafter; (iv) constituting property leased to Borrowers under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement; (v) constituting Equipment which, in the aggregate with all other dispositions of Equipment covered by this clause (v), has a fair market value or book value, whichever is less, of $1,000,000 or less; or (vi) if such is release consented by the Instructing Group. Upon request by the Collateral Agent at any time, the Administrative Agent and the DIP Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 12.11; provided, however, that (A) the Collateral Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in the Collateral Agent’s opinion, would expose the Collateral Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty and (B) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of Borrowers in respect of) all interests retained by Borrowers in any asset(s) transferred, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

(b) Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any other DIP Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrowers or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that all or any portion of the Liens securing the Obligations have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent each may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given its own interest in the Collateral and that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall have any other duty or liability whatsoever to any other DIP Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

Section 12.12 Restrictions on Actions by the Agents and the DIP Lenders; Sharing Payments.

(a) Each of the DIP Lenders agrees that it shall not without the express consent of the Collateral Agent, and that it shall to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such DIP Lender to Borrowers or any accounts of Borrowers now or hereafter maintained with such DIP Lender. Each of the DIP Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by the Collateral Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral the purpose of which is, or could be, to give such DIP Lenders any preference or priority against the other DIP Lenders with respect to the Collateral.

(b) If, at any time or times any DIP Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations arising under, or relating to, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such DIP Lender from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) payments from the Administrative Agent in excess of such DIP Lender’s ratable portion of all such distributions by the Administrative Agent, such DIP Lender promptly shall turn the same over to the Administrative Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Administrative Agent, or in same-day funds, as applicable, for the account of the DIP Lenders and for apportionment and application to the Obligations in accordance with Section 3.03(b).

(c) If and to the extent that the Instructing Group requests any Agent to take or refrain from taking any action, or delegate to any Agent the authority in its discretion to take or refrain from taking any action or class of actions, on behalf of the DIP Lenders, the DIP Lenders shall cooperate fully with such Agent in respect of any such action or class of actions and shall take all actions and refrain from taking all actions as such Agent may reasonably request with respect thereto and no DIP Lender shall take any action within the scope of, or reasonably related to, such request or authority without such Agent’s prior written consent.

Section 12.13 Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of an Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the DIP Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of the Administrative Agent, if any, to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective DIP Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any DIP Lender any interest in, or subject any DIP Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other DIP Lenders. Each DIP Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no DIP Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other DIP Lender. Except as provided in Section 12.05, no Agent and no DIP Lender shall have any liability for the acts of any other Agent or any other DIP Lender. No DIP Lender shall be responsible to Borrowers or any other Person for any failure by any other DIP Lender to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for it or on its behalf in connection with its Commitment, nor to take any other action on its behalf hereunder, under any other Loan Document or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.

(a) increase or extend any Commitment of such DIP Lender;

(b) reduce or forgive the principal of, or interest on, any Funded DIP Loan made by such DIP Lender, or reduce or forgive any fees or other amounts payable hereunder to such DIP Lender or release or discharge Borrowers from their obligations to make such payments;

(c) postpone any date fixed for any scheduled payment of principal of, or interest on, any DIP Loan or any other monetary Obligations owed to such DIP Lender;

(g) change the percentage specified in the definition of Instructing Group that shall be required to appoint or remove a member of the Instructing Group or that shall be required for the Instructing Group to take any action under this Agreement.

Section 13.03 No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of the DIP Lenders or any Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the DIP Lenders and the Agents provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the DIP Lenders and the Agents under any Loan Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the DIP Lenders and the Agents to exercise any of their rights under any other Loan Document against such party or against any other Person.

(e) all liabilities and costs incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien,

(g) all broker fees if any with respect to any broker retained by Borrowers that may become due in the connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,

(h) during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts expended by the Agents, if any, to correct Borrowers’ failure to (i) make any payments or deposits with respect to any taxes of any kind or nature to the extent that such payments or deposits are due and payable prior to delinquency, (ii) make any payments or deposits with respect to any other governmental assessment prior to the time that any Lien may inure against any property of Borrowers, or (iii) make any payments or deposits with respect to any insurance premiums then due and payable or otherwise comply with Section 8.03, which amounts the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, each in its sole discretion and without prior notice to Borrowers, may but shall not be required to pay in whole or in part, or, in the case of any failure to comply with Section 8.03, make payments to obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type described in Section 7.04 and Section 6.01(n);

(m) each Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’, accountants’, consultants’, and other advisors’ fees and expenses) and reasonable fees, costs and expenses for one counsel to separately represent the DIP Lenders, in each case, incurred after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, including in any forbearance, workout or restructuring of the Obligations, in any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding or in terminating, enforcing, or defending the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether suit is brought, or in taking any Remedial Action concerning the Collateral.

Section 13.05 Right of Set-Off, Sharing of Payments.

(a) Subject to the provision of Section 12.12, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the DIP Lenders may, and are hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrowers (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrowers), to the fullest extent permitted by law, set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the DIP Lenders to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers against any and all Obligations now or hereafter existing under any Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not the DIP Lenders shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder. The DIP Lenders agree to notify Borrowers, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such set-off and application made by the DIP Lenders, provided that the failure to give such notice to Borrowers shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the DIP Lenders under this Section 13.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies which the DIP Lenders may have.

(b) Nothing contained in this Section 13.05 shall require any DIP Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any DIP Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or Obligation of Borrowers. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any DIP Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which this Section 13.05 applies, such DIP Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the DIP Lenders entitled under Section 3.03(b) and this Section 13.05 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

Section 13.06 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement, that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 13.07 Complete Agreement; Sale of Interest. The Loan Documents constitute the complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, supersede any previous agreement or understanding between them relating hereto or thereto and may not be modified, altered or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by Borrowers and the DIP Lenders in accordance with Section 13.02. Borrowers may not sell, assign or transfer any of the Loan Documents or any portion thereof, including their rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties hereunder or thereunder. Borrowers hereby consent to any DIP Lender’s sale of participations, assignment, transfer or other disposition, at any time or times, of any of the Loan Documents or of any portion thereof or interest therein, including such DIP Lender’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers or duties thereunder, subject, in the case of a participation, assignment, transfer or other disposition, to the provisions of Section 13.08.

Section 13.08 Assignment; Register.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each DIP Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by Borrowers without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates of the Administrative Agent) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Any DIP Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its DIP Loans at the time owing to it); provided that (i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining outstanding amount of the DIP Loans at the time owing to it (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) or in the case of an assignment to an entity described in clause (a), (b) or (c) of the definition of Eligible Assignee, any such assignment shall not be less than $250,000, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (and if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (ii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance. An Eligible Assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.04 than the applicable DIP Lender would have been entitled to receive under this Agreement, unless the assignment by such DIP Lender of all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Eligible Assignee is made with Borrowers’ prior written consent. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.08(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a DIP Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning DIP Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning DIP Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such DIP Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.04, Section 4.02 and Section 13.15 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising or such DIP Lender’s status or activity as DIP Lender prior to such assignment.

(c) Any assignment or transfer by a DIP Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.08 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such DIP Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section 13.08.

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the DIP Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the DIP Loan owing to, each DIP Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the DIP Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a DIP Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers and any DIP Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Borrowers may request in writing a copy of the Register from time to time and the Administrative Agent will deliver a copy of such Register to Borrowers promptly thereafter.

(e) Any DIP Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such DIP Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the DIP Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such DIP Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such DIP Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrowers and the Lender Group shall continue to deal solely and directly with such DIP Lender in connection with such DIP Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a DIP Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such DIP Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such DIP Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (a) or (b) of the proviso to Section 13.02 that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f) of this Section 13.08, Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.04 and Section 4.02 to the same extent as if it were a DIP Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.08(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.05 as though it were a DIP Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.03 as though it were a DIP Lender.

(f) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.04 or ARTICLE IV than the applicable DIP Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrowers’ prior written consent. A Participant shall be subject to Section 13.03 as though it were a DIP Lender. A Participant that is not a United States Person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.04 unless Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.04 as though it were a DIP Lender.

(g) Any DIP Lender may, without the consent of Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such DIP Lender, including without limitation (i) any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank and (ii) in the case of any DIP Lender that is a Fund, any pledge or assignment of all or any portion of such DIP Lender’s rights under this Agreement to any holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such DIP Lender as security for such obligations or securities, or to any trustee for, or any other representative of, such holders, and this Section 13.08(g) shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a DIP Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such DIP Lender as a party hereto.

Section 13.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be effected by delivery of an executed signature page hereto or thereto and such delivery may be made by telecopy or email pdf and shall have the same force and effect as the delivery of an original executed counterpart of or signature page to this Agreement or any of such other Loan Documents. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of any such agreement by telecopy shall also deliver an original executed counterpart, but the failure to do so shall not affect the validity, enforceability or binding effect of such agreement and any telecopy, email pdf or photostatic copy of an executed counterpart of or signature page to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be given the same effect as the original.

Section 13.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES AND, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE PROVIDED THEREIN, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Section 13.11 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION, SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE. EACH BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE DIP LENDERS AND BORROWERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THE BANKRUPTCY COURT MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT OTHER THAN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT AND, PROVIDED FURTHER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO OPERATE TO PRECLUDE THE DIP LENDERS FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO COLLECT THE OBLIGATIONS, TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS, OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE DIP LENDERS. EACH BORROWER EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS. EACH BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ANY SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO SUCH BORROWER AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 13.01 OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF SUCH BORROWER’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE UNITED STATES. MAIL, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID AND RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED.

Section 13.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWERS, THE DIP LENDERS AND THE AGENTS EACH HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM CONCERNING ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR UNDER ANY AMENDMENT, WAIVER, CONSENT, INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH IN THE FUTURE MAY BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, OR ARISING FROM ANY FINANCING RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, PROCEEDINGS OR COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH BORROWER CERTIFIES THAT NO OFFICER, REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE DIP LENDERS OR THE AGENTS HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE DIP LENDERS OR THE AGENTS WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS. THE BORROWERS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE DIP LENDERS AND THE AGENTS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 13.13 Consent. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, if the consent, approval, satisfaction, determination, judgment, acceptance or similar action (an “Action”) of the DIP Lenders or the Agents, shall be permitted or required pursuant to any provision hereof or any provision of any other agreement to which a Borrower is party and to which the DIP Lenders or the Agents have succeeded, such Action shall be required to be in writing and may be withheld or denied by the DIP Lenders or the Agents with or without any reason in their discretion.

Section 13.14 Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against the DIP Lenders, the Agents or Borrowers, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties represented by counsel of their choosing and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

Section 13.15 Reinstatement; Certain Payments. If any claim is ever made upon the DIP Lenders or the Agents for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by the DIP Lenders or the Agents in payment or received on account of any of the Obligations, the DIP Lenders or the Agents shall give prompt notice of such claim to Borrowers, and if the DIP Lenders or the Agents repay all or part of such amount by reason of (A) any judgment, decree or order of any court of competent jurisdiction or administrative body having jurisdiction over the DIP Lenders or the Agents or any of their respective property, or (B) compliance by the DIP Lenders or the Agents with any requirement of a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the DIP Lenders or the Agents, then and in such event Borrowers agree that (i) any such judgment, decree or order shall be binding upon it notwithstanding the cancellation of any instrument evidencing the Obligations or the other Loan Documents or the termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and (ii) it shall be and remain liable to the DIP Lenders or the Agents hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by the DIP Lenders or the Agents.

Section 13.16 Indemnification. In addition to Borrowers’ other Obligations under this Agreement, Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the DIP Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates and the officers, directors, trustees, employees, agents and advisors of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Agent-Related Persons and the Lender-Related Persons (including the Arranger) (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, losses, demands, settlements, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fines, fees, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, but excluding income, franchise and similar taxes of an Indemnitee) incurred by such Indemnitees (but not taxes, which shall be governed by Section 3.04), whether prior to or from and after the Closing Date, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with any of the following: (a) the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or the DIP Lenders furnishing of funds to Borrowers under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the management of any such DIP Loans, (b) any matter relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or by any document executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the use of proceeds of such financing transactions, (c) any claim, litigation, investigation or administrative or judicial proceeding in connection with any transaction contemplated in, or consummated under, the Loan Documents or (d) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto, including without limitation, claims, litigations, investigations or other proceedings arising out of (i) the presence, disposal or Release of any Hazardous Materials on, in, at, to, from or under any property at any time owned or occupied by a Borrower (or any of its predecessors in interest or title) or at any facility which received Hazardous Materials generated by a Borrower or any of its predecessors in interest in connection with the receipt of such Hazardous Materials, (ii) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related to any Hazardous Materials generated by a Borrower, (iii) any investigation, lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached or government order relating to such Hazardous Materials, (iv) any violation of any Environmental Law by a Borrower or any of its predecessors in interest, and/or (v) any Environmental Action (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that Borrowers shall not have any obligation to any Indemnitee under this Section 13.16 for any Indemnified Matter to the extent resulting from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to reimburse the legal fees and expenses of more than one outside counsel (in addition to up to one local counsel in each applicable local jurisdiction) for all Indemnitees under this Section 13.16 unless on advice of outside counsel, representation of all such Indemnitees would be inappropriate due to the existence of an actual or potential conflict of interest. Such indemnification for all of the foregoing losses, damages, fees, costs and expenses of the Indemnitees shall be due and payable promptly after demand therefor. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 13.16 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrowers shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under Applicable Law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees. This indemnity shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the discharge of the Liens granted under the Loan Documents.

Section 13.17 Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto that each Agent and each DIP Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document would be usurious as to any Agent or any DIP Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America, the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to such Agent or such DIP Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as follows: (a) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any DIP Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by such Agent or such DIP Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by such Agent or such DIP Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such DIP Lender, as applicable, to Borrowers); and (b) in the event that the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to any Agent or any DIP Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by such Agent or such DIP Lender, as applicable, as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by such Agent or such DIP Lender, as applicable, on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by such Agent or such DIP Lender to Borrowers). All sums paid or agreed to be paid to any Agent or any DIP Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of sums due hereunder shall, to the extent permitted by law applicable to such Agent or such DIP Lender, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the DIP Loans until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of any DIP Loans hereunder does not exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law. If at any time and from time to time, (i) the amount of interest payable to any Agent or any DIP Lender on any date shall be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such DIP Lender pursuant to this Section 13.17 and (ii) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to such Agent or such DIP Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such DIP Lender computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such DIP Lender, then the amount of interest payable to such Agent or such DIP Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the Highest Lawful Rate applicable to such Agent or such DIP Lender until the total amount of interest payable to such Agent or such DIP Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to such Agent or such DIP Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 13.17.

For purposes of this Section 13.17, the term “applicable law” means that law in effect from time to time and applicable to the loan transaction between Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Agents and the DIP Lenders, on the other, that lawfully permits the charging and collection of the highest permissible, lawful non-usurious rate of interest on such loan transaction and this Agreement, including laws of the State of New York and, to the extent controlling, laws of the United States of America.

Section 13.18 Records. The unpaid principal of, and interest on, the Obligations, the interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid principal and interest, the duration of such applicability, and the Commitments shall at all times be ascertained from the records of the DIP Lenders and Agents, which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest or demonstrable error.

Section 13.19 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrowers, the DIP Lenders and the Agents, and their respective successors and assigns, subject to Section 13.08.

Section 13.20 USA Patriot Act. Each DIP Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrowers, which information includes the names and addresses of Borrowers and other information that will allow such DIP Lender to identify Borrowers in accordance with the Act.

Section 13.21 Equitable Relief. Borrowers recognize that, in the event Borrowers fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its Obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to any DIP Lender; therefore, Borrowers agree that any DIP Lender, if such Person so requests, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.

Section 13.22 The DIP Lenders as Parties in Interest. Borrowers hereby stipulate and agree that each of the DIP Lenders are and shall remain parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases and shall have the right to participate, object and be heard in any motion or proceeding in connection therewith. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to be a waiver of any of the DIP Lenders’ rights or remedies under applicable law or documentation. Without limitation of the foregoing, each of the DIP Lenders shall have the right to make any motion or raise any objection it deems to be in its interest (specifically including, but not limited to, objections to use of proceeds of the DIP Loans, to payment of professional fees and expenses or the amount thereof, to sales or other transactions outside the ordinary course of business or to assumptions or rejection of any executory contract or lease).

Section 13.23 Section 506(c) Waiver. Subject to entry of and the provisions of the Final Order, in consideration of the DIP Loans being made available to Borrowers by the DIP Lenders, Borrowers hereby agree not to assert and affirmatively waive any claim they otherwise might have under section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and agree that the Collateral securing the Obligations to the DIP Lenders may be charged with costs or expenses only as provided for hereunder.

Section 13.24 Reversal of Payments. To the extent Borrowers make a payment or payments to the DIP Lenders or the DIP Lenders receive any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for Borrowers’ benefit, which payment(s) or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received.

Section 13.25 Joint Agreement of Borrowers. All covenants of Borrowers herein constitute the joint and several obligations of Borrowers. All representations and warranties of Borrowers herein constitute the representations and warranties of each Borrower as to itself and the other Borrower individually and as to both Borrowers, collectively. Any payment or notice required or permitted to made or given to either or both Borrowers by any party hereto shall be deemed made or given to both Borrowers if it is made or given to either Borrower.
