2. LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
2.1 Promise to Pay. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Lender the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions, accrued and unpaid interest, fees and charges thereon and all other amounts owing hereunder as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.
2.2 [Intentionally Omitted].
2.3 Term Loans.
(a) Availability.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make to Borrowers on the Closing Date a term loan (the “Term A Loan”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Term A Loan Amount. When repaid, in whole or in part, the Term A Loan may not be re-borrowed. Lender’s obligation to lend under this Section 2.3(a)(i) shall terminate upon the making of the Term A Loan as provided above.
(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make to Borrowers one or more additional term loans (each, a “Term B Loan” and collectively, the “Term B Loans”) in an aggregate amount of up to the Term B Loan Amount, at the request of Borrowers, on or before February 20, 2022, so long as [***]. When repaid, in whole or in part, the Term B Loans may not be re-borrowed. Lender’s obligation to lend under this Section 2.3(a)(ii) shall terminate upon (A) the making an aggregate amount of Term B Loans equal to the Term B Loan Amount or (B) the occurrence of any Event of Default.
(iii) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender agrees to make to Borrowers one or more additional term loans (each, a “Term C Loan” and collectively, the “Term C Loans”; together with the Term A Loan and the Term B Loans, each a “Term Loan” and collectively, the “Term Loans”) in an aggregate amount of up to the Term C Loan Amount, at the request of Borrowers, on or before February 20, 2022, so long as [***]. When repaid, in whole or in part, the Term C Loans may not be re-borrowed. Lender’s obligation to lend under this Section 2.3(a)(iii) shall terminate upon (A) the making an aggregate amount of Term C Loans equal to the Term C Loan Amount or (B) the occurrence of any Event of Default.
(b) Repayment. Commencing on the Amortization Date, and continuing thereafter on the last Business Day of each successive month through the Term Loan Maturity Date, Borrowers shall make consecutive monthly payments of equal principal, based on the Amortization Schedule, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Any and all unpaid Obligations, including principal, any accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Term Loans and other fees and other sums due hereunder, if any, shall be due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Term Loans may only be prepaid in accordance with Section 2.3(c).
(c) Permitted Prepayment of the Term Loans. Borrowers shall have the option to prepay all, or any part of the Term Loans, provided Borrowers provide written notice to Lender of their election to prepay the Term Loans at least ten days prior to such prepayment, and pay, on the date of such prepayment:
(i) all outstanding principal being prepaid plus any accrued and unpaid interest; plus
(ii) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts;
and provided further that Borrowers prepay (if prepaying only a part of Term Loans) such part of the Term Loans in increments that are equal to $5,000,000. Any partial prepayment shall be applied first pro-rata to all outstanding amounts under the Term A Loan and the Term B Loans, and after the Term A Loan and Term B Loans have been paid in full, then pro-rata to all outstanding amounts under the Term C Loans.
2.4 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.
(a) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.4(b), (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Term A Loan and the Term B Loans shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to 1.00 percentage point above the Prime Rate, and (ii) the outstanding principal amount of the Term C Loans shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to 1.50 percentage points above the Prime Rate. All such interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.4(d).
(b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum of 12.00% (the “Default Rate”), unless Lender otherwise elects from time to time in its sole discretion to impose a lesser interest rate. Fees and expenses which are required to
2
be paid by Loan Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents (including Lender Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.4(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lender.
(c) Adjustment to Interest Rate. Changes to the interest rate of any Credit Extension based on changes to the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and to the extent of any such change.
(d) Payment; Interest Computation. Interest is payable monthly in arrears on the last Business Day of each month and shall be computed on the basis of a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable, for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest, (i) all payments received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on any day shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and (ii) the date of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension.
(e) Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that a Borrower has actually paid to Lender an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrowers shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of principal outstanding in respect of the Credit Extensions; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Lender’s accrued interest, costs, expenses, professional fees and any other Obligations; and third, after all Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrowers.
2.5 Fees and Charges. Borrowers shall pay to Lender:
(a) [***]
(b) Fees Fully Earned. In no event shall any Borrower be entitled to any credit, rebate, refund, reduction, proration or repayment of any fees or charges earned by Lender pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the suspension or termination of Lender’s obligation to make loans and advances hereunder and notwithstanding the required payment date for such fees or charges.
2.6 Payments; Application of Payments.
(a) All payments to be made by Loan Parties under any Loan Document, including payments of principal and interest, all fees, charges, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements or of amounts payable under Section 2.7 or otherwise, shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim, before 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid. Unless otherwise directed by Lender or as set forth in the following proviso, Borrowers shall make all payments due to Lender at Lender’s address specified in Section 10, except that payments pursuant to Section 2.7 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto; provided, however, that Lender shall have the right to effectuate payment of any and all Obligations due and owing hereunder or under any other Loan Document by charging any Deposit Account of any Loan Party with Lender or an Affiliate of Lender.
(b) No Loan Party shall have a right to specify the order or the loan accounts to which Lender shall allocate or apply any payments made by a Loan Party to Lender or otherwise received by Lender under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not expressly specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

2.7 Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.7), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the applicable Recipient, timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
(c) Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.7, such Loan Party shall deliver to the applicable Recipient the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Recipient.
(d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.7) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Loan Party by the applicable Recipient shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Status of Lenders.
(i) Any Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower Representative, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower Representative, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower Representative as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Recipient, if reasonably requested by Borrower Representative, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower Representative as will enable Borrower Representative to determine whether or not such Recipient is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.7(e)(ii)(A), 2.7(e)(ii)(B) and 2.7(e)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in such Recipient’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Recipient to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Recipient.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(A) any Recipient that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower Representative on or prior to the date on which such Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower Representative), an executed copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Recipient is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

4

(4) to the extent a Foreign Recipient is not the beneficial owner, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Recipient is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Recipient are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Recipient may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Recipient shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower Representative (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Recipient becomes a Recipient under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower Representative), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower Representative to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) if a payment made to a Recipient under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Recipient were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Recipient shall deliver to Borrower Representative at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower Representative such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower Representative as may be necessary for Borrower Representative to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Recipient has complied with such Recipient’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(E) Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower Representative in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.7
5
(including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.7 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.7(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.7(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph (f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g) Register. Lender, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of any assignment and assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Credit Extensions owing to, Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower and Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
(h) Survival. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each party’s agreements and obligations contained in this Section 2.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Recipient, the termination of the Credit Extensions and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.7, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Each Loan Party hereby grants Lender, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Lender, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. If this Agreement is terminated, Lender’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document) and at such time as Lender’s obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Lender shall, at Loan Parties’ sole cost and expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to the applicable Loan Party. Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Loan Party permitted by, and in accordance with, the terms of the Loan Documents, or upon the effectiveness of any consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, or upon the release of any Loan Party from its obligations under this Agreement or the applicable Guaranty, if any, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, Lender will, at such Loan Party’s sole cost and expense, execute and deliver to such Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereby; provided, however, that (i) at the time of such request and such release no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) such Loan Party shall have delivered to Lender, at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release describing the item of Collateral, together with a form of release for execution by Lender, and such other information as Lender may reasonably request.
4.2 Priority of Security Interest. Each Loan Party represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to have superior priority to Lender’s Lien under this Agreement). If a Loan Party shall acquire a commercial tort claim with an expected recovery, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of [***], Loan Parties shall promptly notify Lender in writing and deliver such other documents as Lender may require to grant Lender a perfected security interest in such commercial tort claim. If a Loan Party shall acquire a certificate with respect to Shares, or any instrument with a value, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of [***], such Loan Party shall promptly notify Lender and deliver the same together with a stock power or instrument of transfer and any necessary endorsement, all in form satisfactory to Lender.
4.3 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes Lender to file at any time financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Lender’s interest or rights hereunder, and each Loan Party will execute and deliver to Lender such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or as Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be granted under this Agreement. Each Loan Party further authorizes Lender at any time and from time to time to file, transmit, or communicate, as applicable, financing statements and amendments (a) describing the Collateral as “all personal property of debtor” or “all assets of debtor” or words of similar effect, (b) describing the Collateral as being of equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, or (c) that contain any information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance. Each Loan Party acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed in connection with this Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender, subject to such Loan Party’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Code.
4.4 Pledge of Collateral. Each Loan Party hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Lender a security interest in all Shares in which such Loan Party has any interest, together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the performance of the Obligations. On the Closing Date, or, to the extent not certificated as of the Closing Date, within 10 Business Days of the certification of any Shares, or as required pursuant to Section 6.11, the certificate or certificates for such Shares, to the extent certificated, will be delivered to Lender, accompanied by a stock power or other appropriate instrument of assignment duly executed in blank. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Equity Interests in which a Loan Party has an interest, such Loan Party shall cause the books of each Person whose Equity Interests are
8
part of the Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Lender may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral (including the Shares) into the name of Lender and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Lender or its transferee. Each Loan Party will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, as Lender may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Shares. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Loan Party shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares in which it has an interest and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and, in any event, no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:
(a) By notice to Borrower Representative, declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs, all Obligations are immediately due and payable without notice or any other action by Lender);
(b) By notice to Borrower Representative, stop advancing money or extending credit for any Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between any Loan Party and Lender (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs, all obligations, if any, of Lender to advance money or extend credit for any Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement among Borrowers and Lender shall be immediately terminated without any action by Lender);
(c) verify the amount of, demand payment of and performance under, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Lender considers advisable, and notify any Person owing a Loan Party money of Lender’s security interest in such funds;
(d) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or desirable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Loan Parties shall assemble the Collateral if Lender requests and make it available as Lender designates. Lender may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Each Loan Party grants Lender a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies;
(e) apply to the Obligations any amount held by Lender owing to or for the credit or the account of a Loan Party;
(f) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Lender is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge,
22
a Loan Party’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, a Loan Party’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Lender’s benefit;
(g) deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Account Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;
(h) demand and receive possession of any Loan Party’s Books; and
(i) exercise all rights and remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).
9.2 Power of Attorney. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Lender (and any of Lender’s partners, managers, officers, agents or employees) as its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify Account Debtors of Lender’s security interest and Liens in the Collateral; (b) endorse such Loan Party’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (c) sign such Loan Party’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to Account Debtors; (d) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender determines reasonable; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Loan Party’s insurance policies; (f) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (g) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party as the Code permits; and (h) dispose of the Collateral. Each Loan Party further hereby appoints Lender (and any of Lender’s partners, managers, officers, agents or employees) as its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, regardless of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing to: (x) sign such Loan Party’s name on any documents and other Security Instruments necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of, or maintain the priority of, Lender’s security interest in the Collateral; (y) execute and do all such assurances, acts and things which such Loan Party is required, but fails to do under the covenants and provisions of the Loan Documents; and (z) take any and all such actions as Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary or advisable for the purpose of maintaining, preserving or protecting the Collateral or any of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges of Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Lender’s foregoing appointment as each Loan Party’s attorney in fact, and all of Lender’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document) have been fully repaid, in cash, and otherwise fully performed and Lender is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder.
9.3 Protective Payments. If a Loan Party fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which such Loan Party is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, Lender may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Lender are Lender Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Lender will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower Representative with notice of Lender obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Lender are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall have the right to apply in any order any funds in its possession, whether payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations. Lender shall pay any surplus to Loan Parties by credit to the Deposit Account designated by Loan Parties or to other Persons legally entitled thereto. Loan Parties shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency. If Lender, directly or indirectly, enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Lender shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Lender of cash therefor.
23
9.5 Lender’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Lender complies with reasonable secured lender practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Lender, Lender shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Loan Parties bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by each Loan Party of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Lender has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Lender from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Lender’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.
9.7 Demand Waiver. Each Loan Party waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments or chattel paper.

Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives (a) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, notice of presentment of payment and any other notice hereunder, (b) demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, notice of the present and future amount of the Obligations and any other notice with respect to the Obligations, (c) any requirement that Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Guarantor, or any Person or any Collateral, (d) any other action, event or precondition to the enforcement hereof or the performance by each such Guarantor of the Obligations, (e) all suretyship defenses and (f) any defense arising by any lack of capacity or authority or any other defense of any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any notice, demand or defense by reason of cessation from any cause of Obligations other than payment and performance in full of the Obligations and any defense that any other guarantee or security was or was to be obtained by Lender.
12.3 No Defense. No invalidity, irregularity, voidableness, voidness or unenforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, or of all or any part of the Obligations or of any collateral security therefor shall affect, impair or be a defense hereunder.
12.4 Guaranty of Payment. The Guaranty hereunder is one of payment and performance, not collection, and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce the terms and conditions of this Section 12, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or other Persons or whether any Borrower, any other Guarantor or other Persons are joined in any such
25
action or actions. Each Guarantor waives any right to require that any resort be had by Lender to any security held for payment of the any Obligations or to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of Lender in favor of any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person. No election to proceed in one form of action or proceedings, or against any Person, or on any Obligations, shall constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against any other Person unless Lender has expressed any such right in writing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Lender against any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person under any document evidencing or securing indebtedness of any Borrower or any other Guarantor shall diminish the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, except to the extent Lender receives actual payment on account of the Obligations by such action or proceeding, notwithstanding the effect of any such election, action or proceeding upon the right of subrogation of any Guarantor in respect of any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person.
12.5 Indemnity. As an original and independent obligation under this Agreement, each Guarantor shall (a) indemnify Lender and keep Lender indemnified against all costs, losses, expenses and liabilities of whatever kind resulting from the failure by any party to make due and punctual payment of any of the Obligations or resulting from any of the Obligations being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective against any Borrower (including all legal and other costs, charges and expenses incurred by Lender, or any of them in connection with preserving or enforcing, or attempting to preserve or enforce, its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), and (b) pay on demand the amount of such costs, losses, expenses and liabilities whether or not Lender have attempted to enforce any rights against any Borrower or any other Person or otherwise.
12.6 Liabilities Absolute. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute, unlimited and unconditional and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any claim, defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity or unenforceability of the Obligations, any other Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor shall not be discharged or impaired, released, limited or otherwise affected by:
(a) any change in the manner, place or terms of payment or performance, and/or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance of, release, renewal or alteration of, or any new agreements relating to any Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any rescission of, or amendment, waiver or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any increase in the Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Borrower or otherwise;
(b) any sale, exchange, release, surrender, loss, abandonment, realization upon any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or howsoever securing, all or any of the Obligations, or any offset there against, or failure to perfect, or continue the perfection of, any Lien in any such property, or delay in the perfection of any such Lien, or any amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty for all or any of the Obligations;
(c) the failure of Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document or instrument executed and delivered in connection herewith or therewith;
(d) any settlement or compromise of any Obligation, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and any subordination of the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of obligation (whether due or not) of any Borrower or any Guarantor to creditors of any Borrower or any Guarantor other than any Borrower or any Guarantor;
(e) manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other assets of any Borrower or any Guarantor; and
(f) any other agreements or circumstance of any nature whatsoever that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor, or that might otherwise at law or in equity constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Guaranty hereunder and/or the obligations of any Guarantor, or a defense to, or
26
discharge of, any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or party hereto or the Obligations or otherwise with respect to the other financial accommodations to any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
12.7 Waiver of Notice. Lender shall have the right to do any of the above without notice to or the consent of any Guarantor and each Guarantor expressly waives any right to notice of, consent to, knowledge of and participation in any agreements relating to any of the above or any other present or future event relating to the Obligations whether under this Agreement or otherwise or any right to challenge or question any of the above and waives any defenses of such Guarantor that might arise as a result of such actions.
12.8 Lender’s Discretion. Lender may at any time and from time to time (whether prior to or after the revocation or termination of this Agreement) without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without incurring responsibility to any Guarantor or impairing or releasing the Obligations, apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any Obligations regardless of what Obligations remain unpaid.
12.9 Reinstatement.
(a) The provisions of this Section 12 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if claim is ever made upon Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by it in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and it repays all or part of said amount for any reason whatsoever, including by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such Person or the respective property of each, or any settlement or compromise of any claim effected by such Person with any such claimant (including any Borrower or any other Loan Party); and in such event each Guarantor hereby agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise or other circumstances shall be binding upon such Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any Obligation, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to Lender for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by such Person(s).
(b) Lender shall not be required to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor, or against or in payment of any Obligations.
(c) No Guarantor shall be not entitled to claim against any present or future security held by Lender from any Person for the Obligations in priority to or equally with any claim of Lender, or assert any claim for any liability of any Borrower or any other Guarantor to such Guarantor, in priority to or equally with claims of Lender for the Obligations, and each Guarantor shall not be entitled to compete with Lender with respect to, or to advance any equal or prior claim to any security held by Lender for the Obligations.
(d) If any Borrower or any Guarantor makes any payment to Lender, which payment is wholly or partly subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to any Person under any federal or provincial statute or at common law or under equitable principles, then to the extent of such payment, the Obligation intended to be paid shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if the payment had not been made, and the resulting revived Obligation shall continue to be guaranteed, uninterrupted, by such Guarantor hereunder.
(e) All present and future monies payable by any Borrower to each Guarantor, whether arising out of a right of subrogation or otherwise, are assigned to Lender for its benefit as security for such Guarantor’s liability to Lender hereunder and are postponed and subordinated to Lender’s prior right to payment in full of Obligations. All such monies received by any Guarantor from any Borrower or any other Guarantor shall be held by such Guarantor as agent and trustee for Lender. This assignment, postponement and subordination shall only terminate when the Obligations are paid in full in cash and this Agreement is irrevocably terminated.
(f) Each Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges this assignment, postponement and subordination and, except as otherwise set forth herein, agrees to make no payments to any Guarantor without the prior written consent of Lender. Each Borrower and each Guarantor agree to give full effect to the provisions hereof.
12.10 Action Upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, without notice to or demand upon any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, declare any
27
obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 12 immediately due and payable, and shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of such Guarantor under this Section 12. Upon such declaration by Lender, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisions or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Lender to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing hereunder, whether or not Lender shall have made any demand hereunder against any Borrower or any other Person and although such obligations may be contingent and unmatured. The rights of Lender hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which Lender may have. Upon such declaration by Lender, with respect to any claims (other than those claims referred to in Section 12.9) of such Guarantor against any Borrower or any other Guarantors (for purposes of this Section 12.10, the “Guarantor Claims”), Lender shall have the full right on the part of Lender in its own name or in the name of such Guarantor to collect and enforce such Guarantor Claims by legal action, proof of debt in bankruptcy or other liquidation proceedings, vote in any proceeding for the arrangement of debts at any time proposed, or otherwise, Lender and each of its officers being hereby irrevocably constituted attorneys-in-fact for such Guarantor for the purpose of such enforcement and for the purpose of endorsing in the name of such Guarantor any instrument for the payment of money. Each Guarantor will receive as trustee for Lender and will pay to Lender forthwith upon receipt thereof any amounts which such Guarantor may receive from any Borrower or any other Guarantor on account of the Guarantor Claims. Each Guarantor agrees that at no time hereafter will any of the Guarantor Claims be represented by any notes or other negotiable instruments or writings, except and in such event they shall either be made payable to Lender, or if payable to such Guarantor, shall forthwith be endorsed by such Guarantor to Lender. Each Guarantor agrees that no payment on account of the Guarantor Claims or any security interest therein shall be created, received, accepted or retained during the continuance of any Event of Default nor shall any financing statement be filed with respect thereto by such Guarantor.
12.11 Statute of Limitations. Any acknowledgment or new promise, whether by payment of principal or interest or otherwise and whether by any Borrower or any other Loan Party or others (including Lender) with respect to any of the Obligations shall, if the statute of limitations in favor of a Loan Party against Lender shall have commenced to run, toll the running of such statute of limitations and, if the period of such statute of limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute of limitations.
12.12 Interest. All amounts due, owing and unpaid from time to time by any Guarantor under this Section 12, to the extent such amounts do not otherwise include interest accruing on the outstanding Obligations to the date all such amounts are actually paid by such Loan Party, shall bear interest at the interest rate per annum then chargeable with respect to Term C Loan.
12.13 Guarantor’s Investigation. Each Guarantor acknowledges receipt of a copy of each of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Guarantor has made an independent investigation of each Borrower and each other Loan Party and of the financial condition of each Borrower and each other Loan Party. Lender has not made and Lender does not make any representations or warranties as to the income, expense, operation, finances or any other matter or thing affecting any Borrower or any other Loan Party, nor has Lender made any representations or warranties as to the amount or nature of the Obligations to which this Section 12 applies as specifically herein set forth, nor has Lender or any officer, agent or employee of Lender or any representative thereof, made any other oral representations, agreements or commitments of any kind or nature, and each Guarantor hereby expressly acknowledges that no such representations or warranties have been made and each Loan Party expressly disclaims reliance on any such representations or warranties.
12.14 Limitation of Liability. Each Guarantor, and, by its acceptance of the Guaranty hereunder, Lender hereby confirm that it is the intention of all such Persons that the Guaranty hereunder and the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the UFTA, the UFCA or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law to the extent applicable to the Guaranty hereunder and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, Lender, by its acceptance of the Guaranty hereunder, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of Guarantor under the Guaranty hereunder at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of Guarantor under the Guaranty hereunder not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
28
12.15 Subrogation, Contribution, Etc.
(a) To the extent that any Guarantor shall, under the Guaranty hereunder, make a payment (each, a “Guarantor’s Payment”) of a portion of the Obligations, then, without limiting its rights of subrogation against any Borrower, such Guarantor shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of Borrowers and the other Guarantors (collectively, the “Contributing Parties”) in an amount, for each such Contributing Party, equal to a fraction of such Guarantor’s Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such Contributing Party’s Allocable Amount (as defined below) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Contributing Parties.
(b) As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of each Contributing Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability which could be asserted against such Contributing Party hereunder with respect to the applicable Guarantor’s Payment without (i) rendering such Contributing Party “insolvent” within the meaning of Section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 2 of either the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (the “UFTA”) or the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (the “UFCA”), (ii) leaving such Contributing Party with unreasonably small capital, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (iii) leaving such Contributing Party unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA or Section 6 of the UFCA. The provisions of this Section 12.15 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of each Guarantor to Lender, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to Lender for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.15 or otherwise, each Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, exoneration, contribution of any other claim which such Guarantor may now or hereafter have against Borrowers or the other Guarantors or any other Person directly or contingently liable for the Obligations, or against or with respect to the property or any Borrower or any other Guarantor (including any property which is Collateral for the Obligations), arising from the existence or performance of this Agreement, until termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations.
12.16 Termination. The provisions of this Section 12 shall remain in effect until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations and irrevocable termination of this Agreement.
13. GENERAL PROVISIONS
13.1 Termination Prior to Term Loan Maturity Date; Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document) have been satisfied in full, in cash and Lender no longer has any obligation to extend credit to a Borrower. So long as Loan Parties have satisfied the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document), this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date by Borrowers, effective three Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Lender. Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination.
13.2 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. No Loan Party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Lender’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Lender’s discretion). Lender has the right, without the consent of or notice to Loan Parties, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Lender’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If Lender sells or grants a participation, it shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”). Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form
29
under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Lender shall not assign its interest in the Loan Documents to any Person who is a Disqualified Institution. Each Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.7 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 2.7(e) and 2.7(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.7(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender and the information and documentation required under Section 2.7(f) will be delivered to Borrower Representative)) to the same extent as if it were Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.7 with respect to any participation than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive
13.3 Indemnification. Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender and its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Lender (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (including such claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities based on liability in tort, including strict liability in tort) (collectively, “Claims”) claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with, relating to, following from or arising from, out of or under the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses, liabilities, costs or expenses (including Lender Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person in connection with, relating to, following from, or arising from, out of or under the transactions among or between Lender and Loan Parties, or any of them (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses to the extent directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Each Loan Party hereby further indemnifies, defends and holds each Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnified Person) in connection with any investigative, response, remedial, administrative or judicial matter or proceeding, whether or not such Indemnified Person shall be designated a party thereto and including any such proceeding initiated by or on behalf of any Loan Party, and the reasonable expenses of investigation by engineers, environmental consultants and similar technical personnel and any commission, fee or compensation claimed by any broker (other than any broker retained by Lender) asserting any right to payment for the transactions contemplated hereby which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Person as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the use or intended use of the proceeds of the loan proceeds except for liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. This Section 13.3 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any taxes that represent Claims arising from any non-Tax Claim and shall survive until all statutes of limitation with respect to the Claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is given shall have run.
13.4 Borrower Liability. If any Person is named as, or joined to this Agreement as, a Borrower, the following provisions shall apply: any Borrower may, acting singly, request Credit Extensions hereunder. Each Borrower hereby appoints the others as agent for the other for all purposes hereunder, including with respect to requesting Credit Extensions hereunder. Each Borrower hereunder shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Credit Extensions made hereunder, regardless of which Borrower actually receives said Credit Extension, as if each Borrower hereunder directly received all Credit Extensions. Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law and (b) any right to require Lender to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. Lender may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including any law subrogating such Borrower to the rights of Lender under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by such Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by such Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section 13.4 shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section 13.4, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Lender
30
and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Lender for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.
13.5 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.
13.6 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.
13.7 Correction of Loan Documents. Lender may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.
13.8 Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, shall be enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by the party against which enforcement or admission is sought. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations among the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents.
13.9 Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Documents. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of any Loan Document by electronic means shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of such Loan Document. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures (including in .pdf format) or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
13.10 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Lender shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Lender’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates (such Subsidiaries and Affiliates, together with Lender, collectively, “Lender Entities”) or in connection with Lender’s own financing or securitization transactions and upon the occurrence of a default, event of default or similar occurrence with respect to such financing or securitization transaction, it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such information and instructed to keep such information confidential; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 13.10); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order and in connection with reporting obligations applicable to Lender, including pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (d) to Lender’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with Lender’s examination or audit; (e) as Lender considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of Lender so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with Lender with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein. Confidential information does not include information that is either: (i) in the public domain or in Lender’s possession when disclosed to Lender, or becomes part of the public domain (other than as a result of its disclosure by Lender in violation of this Agreement) after disclosure to Lender; or (ii) disclosed to Lender by a third party, if Lender does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information. Lender Entities may use a Loan Party’s name and logo, and include a brief description of the relationship among Loan Parties and Lender, in Lender’s marketing materials. Lender may use confidential information for the development of databases, reporting purposes, and market analysis so long as such confidential information is aggregated and anonymized prior to distribution, and Lender has ownership of the information and analysis so developed. The provisions of this Section 13.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
31
13.11 Borrower Representative. Each Borrower hereby appoints Borrower Representative to act as its exclusive agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents (including with respect to all matters related to the borrowing and repayment of any Credit Extension). Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) Borrower Representative may execute such documents on behalf of any Borrower as Borrower Representative deems appropriate in its sole discretion and each Borrower shall be bound by and obligated by all of the terms of any such document executed by Borrower Representative on its behalf, (b) any notice or other communication delivered by Lender hereunder to Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Borrower and (c) the Lender shall accept (and shall be permitted to rely on) any document or agreement executed by Borrower Representative on behalf of Borrowers (or any of them). Each Borrower must act through the Borrower Representative for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent any provision in this Agreement requires any Borrower to interact in any manner with Lender, such Borrower shall do so through Borrower Representative.
13.12 Captions. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
13.13 Construction of Agreement. The parties mutually acknowledge that they and their attorneys have participated in the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement. In cases of uncertainty this Agreement shall be construed without regard to which of the parties caused the uncertainty to exist.
