SECTION 2. THE LOAN

2.1 Facility Increase. Prior to July 1, 2019, Borrower may, by written notice to Agent, elect to request the establishment of a new loan commitment by an aggregate amount not in excess of $35,000,000.00 (the “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”). Lender may elect to accept or decline Borrower’s request for the Incremental Term Loan Commitment (in whole or in part) in its sole and absolute discretion. Any Incremental Term Loan Commitment shall become effective and shall be an Advance subject to the conditions, requirements and limitations set forth in Section 2.2(b) as of date advanced.

2.2 Term Loan.

(a) Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender will severally (and not jointly) make in an amount not to exceed its respective Term Commitment, and Borrower agrees to draw an Advance of Thirty-Six Million Dollars ($36,000,000) on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Advance”)

(b) Additional Advances. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender will severally (and not jointly) make up to three additional Advances up to an aggregate amount not in excess of the Incremental Term Loan Commitment (each, an “Incremental Advance”) upon written notice to Agent set forth in an Advance Request. Such notice shall specify (x) the date on which the Borrower proposes that the applicable Incremental Advance shall be effective on the applicable Advance Date, which shall be a date not less than 15 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to Agent, and (y) the amount of such Incremental Term Loan Commitment (in minimum $5,000,000.00 increments). Any Incremental Advance shall become effective and shall be an Advance as of the applicable Advance Date; provided that each of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 shall be satisfied. The terms and provisions of any loans made pursuant to an Incremental Advance shall be, except as otherwise set forth herein or in an agreement entered into among Borrower, Agent and Lender as of the applicable Advance Date, identical to the Loans (it being understood that loans under the Incremental Advance may be a part of the Loans).

(c) Advance Request. To obtain the Closing Date Advance, Borrower shall complete, sign and deliver an Advance Request (at least one (1) Business Day before the Advance Date occurring on the Closing Date) to Agent. Lender shall fund such Advance in the manner requested by such Advance Request provided that each of the conditions precedent to such Closing Date Advance is satisfied or waived as of the Closing Date.

(d) Interest. The principal balance of each Advance shall bear interest thereon from the applicable Advance Date at the Term Loan Interest Rate based on a year consisting of 360 days, with interest computed daily based on the actual number of days elapsed. The Term Loan Interest Rate will float and change on the day the Prime Rate changes from time to time.

(e) Payment.

(i) Borrower will pay interest on each Advance on the first Business Day of each month, beginning with the month after each applicable Advance Date. Borrower shall repay the aggregate Term Loan principal balance that is outstanding on the day immediately preceding the Amortization Date, in equal quarterly installments of principal beginning on the Amortization Date of 2.50% of the aggregate Advances (to be adjusted on each Advance Date to reflect an Incremental Advance) commencing July 1, 2019 and continuing on the first Business Day of each quarter thereafter until the Secured Obligations are repaid. The entire Term Loan principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, shall be due and payable on Term Loan Maturity Date. Borrower shall make all payments under this Agreement by wire transfer in immediately available funds without setoff, recoupment or deduction and regardless of any counterclaim or defense.

For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower and Agent confirm, acknowledge, and agree that no invoice shall be sent in connection with collection of the above payments and receipt of an invoice in connection therewith shall not be a condition of such payments becoming due and payable hereunder. For the sake of clarification, the payments made pursuant to this Section 2.2(e)(i) shall not be subject to any Prepayment Charge under Section 2.6(c) hereof.

(ii) The entire Advance principal balance outstanding and all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date. Borrower shall make all payments due under this Agreement without setoff, recoupment or deduction and regardless of any counterclaim or defense.

2.3 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 (which under the laws of the State of California shall be deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans) (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that Borrower has actually paid to Lender an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Secured Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of the Secured Obligations consisting of the outstanding principal; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Lender’s accrued interest, costs, expenses, professional fees and any other Secured Obligations; and third, after all Secured Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrower.

2.4 Default Interest. In the event any payment is not made on or prior to the third Business Day after its scheduled payment date, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the past due amount shall be payable on demand. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, all Secured Obligations, including principal, interest, compounded interest, and professional fees, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate set forth in Section 2.2(d), plus five percent (5%) per annum. In the event any interest is not paid when due hereunder, delinquent interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on interest, compounded at the rate set forth in Section 2.2(d) or Section 2.4, as applicable.

2.5 Agency Fee. Borrower shall pay to Agent for its own account on the first Business Day following the end of the prior quarter, commencing with the quarter starting July 1, 2018, the Agency Fee. The Agency Fee is deemed fully earned on each date paid regardless of the early termination of this Agreement.

2.6 Prepayment.

(a) Optional Prepayment. At its option upon at least five (5) Business Days prior notice to Agent, Borrower may prepay all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Advances by paying the entire principal balance together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) Asset Sales. Borrower shall prepay the Advances no later than the fifth Business Day following receipt of Net Cash Proceeds, in excess of $500,000 in any calendar year, required to be prepaid pursuant to the provisions hereof in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received from any Asset Sale by Parent or any of its consolidated Subsidiaries; provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the option to invest the Net Cash Proceeds from such Asset Sale within 180 days of receipt thereof in long-term assets of the type used in the business of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries. In the event that such Net Cash Proceeds are not reinvested by Borrower prior to the earlier of (A) the last day of such 180 day period and (B) the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall prepay the Advances in an amount equal to (100%) of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(ii) Involuntary Dispositions. Borrower shall prepay the Advances no later than the fifth Business Day following receipt of Net Cash Proceeds, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received from any Involuntary Disposition, provided that, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the option to invest up to $10,000,000 of the Net Cash Proceeds received from any Involuntary Disposition within 180 days of receipt thereof in assets of the type involved in such Involuntary Disposition or otherwise used in the business of the Parent and its consolidated Subsidiaries or such greater amount as is approved by Agent in its sole discretion. In the event that such Net Cash Proceeds are not reinvested by Borrower prior to the earlier of (A) the last day of such 180 day period and (B) the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall prepay the Advances in an amount equal to (100%) of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(iii) Debt Transactions. Borrower shall prepay the Advances no later than the fifth Business Day following receipt of Net Cash Proceeds, in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from any Debt Transactions.

(iv) Change in Control. Borrower shall prepay the outstanding amount of all principal and accrued and unpaid interest through the prepayment date upon and concurrently with the occurrence of a Change in Control.

(v) Borrowing Base Deficiency. In the event that any Borrowing Base Certificate indicates a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, or if at any time the Agent shall notify Borrower that a Borrowing Base Deficiency exists, Borrower shall prepay the Advances on the Business Day following the day on which such Borrowing Base Certificate or such notice is given such that after giving effect to such prepayment, no Borrowing Base Deficiency exists.

(vi) “Permitted Intellectual Property Licenses” Borrower shall prepay the Advances no later than the fifth Business Day following receipt of proceeds paid in cash or Cash Equivalents received by Parent or any of its consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of royalties on any Permitted Intellectual Property Licenses to the extent such proceeds were received during the continuance of an Event of Default an amount equal to 100% such proceeds.

(c) Prepayment Charge. Concurrently with prepayment pursuant to Section 2.6(a) or (b) Borrower shall pay a charge equal to: (i) if such Advance amounts are prepaid in any of the first twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, the sum of 2% of the Advance amount being prepaid plus all required remaining scheduled interest payments which would have been due on the Advance amount being prepaid through June 28, 2019 such interest payments to be calculated at the Term Loan Interest Rate prevailing on the date of prepayment; and (ii) if such Advance amounts are prepaid in any of the second twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, 1% of the Advance amount being prepaid (each, a “Prepayment Charge”). Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Charge is a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Advances.

2.7 Notes. If so requested by Lender by written notice to Borrower, then Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of Lender pursuant to Section 11.13) (promptly after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence Lender’s Loans.

2.8 Pro Rata Treatment. Each payment (including prepayment) on account of any fee and any reduction of the Term Loans shall be made pro rata according to the Term Commitments of the relevant Lender.

11.9 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings (to the extent that the reference requirement of Section 11.10 is not applicable) arising in or under or related to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court located in the State of California. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to nonexclusive personal jurisdiction in Santa Xxxxx County, State of California; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in Santa Xxxxx County, State of California; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 11.2, and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 11.2. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

11.10 Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial / Judicial Reference.

(a) Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert Person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF BORROWER, AGENT AND LENDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY BORROWER AGAINST AGENT, LENDER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE OR BY AGENT, LENDER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE AGAINST BORROWER. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than Agent, Borrower and Lender; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship among Borrower, Agent and Lender; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, tort, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document.

(b) If the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 11.10(a) is ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all Claims shall be resolved by reference to a private judge sitting without a jury, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, before a mutually acceptable referee or, if the parties cannot agree, a referee selected by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Xxxxx County, California. Such proceeding shall be conducted in Santa Xxxxx County, California, with California rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such proceeding.

(c) In the event Claims are to be resolved by judicial reference, either party may seek from a court identified in Section 11.9, any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise subject to resolution by judicial reference.

11.11 Professional Fees. Borrower promises to pay Agent’s and Lender’s fees and expenses necessary to finalize the loan documentation, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, UCC searches, filing costs, and other miscellaneous expenses, all as set forth on a summary invoice provided to Borrower. In addition, Borrower promises to pay any and all reasonable attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of in-house counsel) incurred by Agent and Lender after the Closing Date in connection with or related to: (a) the Loan; (b) the administration, collection, or enforcement of the Loan; (c) the amendment or modification of the Loan Documents; (d) any waiver, consent, release, or termination under the Loan Documents; (e) the protection, preservation, audit, field exam, sale, lease, liquidation, or disposition of Collateral or the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral; (f) any legal, litigation, administrative, arbitration, or out of court proceeding in connection with or related to Borrower or the Collateral, and any appeal or review thereof; and (g) any bankruptcy, restructuring, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, workout, foreclosure, or other action related to Borrower, the Collateral, the Loan Documents, including representing Agent or Lender in any adversary proceeding or contested matter commenced or continued by or on behalf of Borrower’s estate, and any appeal or review thereof.

11.12 Confidentiality. Agent and Lender acknowledge that certain items of Collateral and information provided to Agent and Lender by Borrower are confidential and proprietary information of Borrower, if and to the extent such information either (x) is marked as confidential by Borrower at the time of disclosure, or (y) should reasonably be understood to be confidential (the “Confidential Information”). Accordingly, Agent and Lender agree that any Confidential Information it may obtain pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Agreement, in the course of acquiring, administering, or perfecting Agent’s security interest in the Collateral or otherwise shall not be disclosed to any other Person or entity in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Borrower, except that Agent and Lender may disclose any such information: (a) to its own directors, officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other professional advisors and to its affiliates if Agent or Lender in their sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information in connection with such party’s responsibilities in connection with the Loan or this Agreement and, provided that such recipient of such Confidential Information either (i) agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this paragraph or (ii) is otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of Confidential Information; (b) if such information is generally available to the public (other than as a result of Agent or Lender’s breach of their respective obligations under this Section 11.12); (c) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any governmental authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over Agent or Lender; (d) if required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, to the extent permitted or deemed advisable by Agent’s or Lender’s counsel; (e) to comply with any legal requirement or law applicable to Agent or Lender; (f) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, including Agent’s sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral after default; (g) to any participant or assignee of Agent or Lender or any prospective participant or assignee; provided, that such participant or assignee or prospective participant or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by this Section prior to disclosure; or (h) otherwise with the prior consent of Borrower; provided, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower or any of its affiliates or any guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

11.13 Assignment of Rights. Borrower acknowledges and understands that Agent or Lender may sell and assign all or part of its interest hereunder and under the Loan Documents to any Person or entity (an “Assignee”), subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 11.7. After such a permitted assignment the term “Agent” or “Lender” as used in the Loan Documents shall mean and include such Assignee, and such Assignee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Agent and Lender hereunder with respect to the interest so assigned; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, Agent and Lender shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given. No such assignment by Agent or Lender shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder. Lender agrees that in the event of any transfer by it of the Note(s)(if any), it will endorse thereon a notation as to the portion of the principal of the Note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and as to the date to which interest shall have been last paid thereon.

11.14 Revival of Secured Obligations. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against Borrower for liquidation or reorganization, if Borrower becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of Borrower’s assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered from Agent or Lender. The Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations and Collateral security shall continue to be effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Agent, or any part thereof is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by, or is recovered from, Agent, Lender or by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer of Collateral had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or recovered, the Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or documentation, to have been revived and reinstated except to the extent of the full, final, and indefeasible payment to Agent or Lender in Cash.

11.15 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

11.16 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. No provisions of the Loan Documents are intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or create any third-party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any Person other than Agent, Lender and Borrower unless specifically provided otherwise herein, and, except as otherwise so provided, all provisions of the Loan Documents will be personal and solely among Agent, the Lender and the Borrower.

11.17 Agency.

(a) Lender hereby irrevocably appoints GACP Finance Co., LLC to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(b) Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to its respective Term Commitment percentages (based upon the total outstanding Term Loan Commitments) in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 11.17, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(c) Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each such Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.

(d) Exculpatory Provisions. The Agent shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not:

(i) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether any default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(ii) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Lender, provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

(iii) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and the Agent shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Person serving as the Agent or any of its affiliates in any capacity.

(e) The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Lender or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(f) The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

(g) Reliance by Agent. Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in acting, or refraining to act, upon, any resolution, statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond or other paper or document that it has no reason to believe to be other than genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or, in the case of cables, telecopies and telexes, to have been sent by the proper party or parties. In the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to Agent and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Agent may consult with counsel, and any opinion or legal advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, not taken or suffered by Agent hereunder or under any Loan Documents in accordance therewith. Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of the Collateral from any court of competent jurisdiction. Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers granted to Agent by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at the request or direction of Lender unless Agent shall have been provided by Lender with adequate security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

11.18 Publicity.

(a) So long as Agent or Lender provides Borrower prior written notice and a reasonable opportunity to review, Borrower consents to the publication and use by Agent or Lender and any of its member businesses and Affiliates of (i) Borrower’s name (including a brief description of the relationship among Borrower, Agent and Lender) and logo and a hyperlink to Borrower’s web site, separately or together, in written and oral presentations, advertising, promotional and marketing materials, client lists, public relations materials or on its web site (together, the “Lender Publicity Materials”); (ii) the names of officers of Borrower in the Lender Publicity Materials; and (iii) Borrower’s name, trademarks or servicemarks in any news release concerning Agent or Lender.

(b) Neither Borrower nor any of its member businesses and Affiliates shall, without Agent’s and Lender’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), publicize or use (i) Agent’s or Lender’s name (including a brief description of the relationship among Borrower, Agent and Lender), logo or hyperlink to Agent’s or Lender’s web site, separately or together, in written and oral presentations, advertising, promotional and marketing materials, client lists, public relations materials or on its web site (together, the “Borrower Publicity Materials”); (ii) the names of officers of Agent or Lender in the Borrower Publicity Materials; and (iii) Agent’s or Lender’s name, trademarks, servicemarks in any news release concerning Borrower.

SECTION 12. Guaranty; Waivers.

(a) Guaranty. Each Subsidiary Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Agent and Lender the full and prompt payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and performance of the Secured Obligations (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guaranteed Obligations include interest that, but for a proceeding under any Insolvency Proceeding, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Borrower for such interest in any such proceeding.

(b) Separate Obligation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Guaranteed Obligations are separate and distinct from any Indebtedness arising under or in connection with any other document, including under any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 12, executed at any time by such Subsidiary Guarantor in favor of Agent and Lender; and (ii) such Subsidiary Guarantor shall pay and perform all of the Guaranteed Obligations as required under this Section 12, and Agent may enforce any and all of their respective rights and remedies hereunder, without regard to any other document, including any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 12, at any time executed by such Subsidiary Guarantor in favor of Agent and any Lender, irrespective of whether any such other document, or any provision thereof or hereof, shall for any reason become unenforceable or any of the Indebtedness thereunder shall have been discharged, whether by performance, avoidance or otherwise. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that, in providing benefits to Borrower, Agent and each Lender is relying upon the enforceability of this Section 12 and the Guaranteed Obligations as separate and distinct Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that Agent and each Lender would be denied the full benefit of their bargain if at any time this Section 12 or the Guaranteed Obligations were treated any differently. The fact that the guaranty is set forth in this Agreement rather than in a separate guaranty document is for the convenience of Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors and shall in no way impair or adversely affect the rights or benefits of Agent and any Lender under this Section 12. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to execute and deliver a separate document, immediately upon request at any time of Agent, evidencing such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 12. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, a separate action or actions may be brought against such Subsidiary Guarantor, whether or not Borrower, any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person is joined therein or a separate action or actions are brought against Borrower, any such other Subsidiary Guarantor or any such other Person.

(c) Limitation of Guaranty. To the extent that any court of competent jurisdiction shall impose by final judgment under applicable Laws (including sections 544 and 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) any limitations on the amount of any Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations that Agent can enforce under this Section 12, Agent and each Lender by their acceptance hereof accept such limitation on the amount of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder to the extent needed to make this Section 12 fully enforceable and nonavoidable.

(d) Liability of Subsidiary Guarantors. The liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 12 shall be irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstance that might constitute a discharge of a surety or guarantor other than the indefeasible payment and performance in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees as follows:

(i) such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor and shall not be contingent upon Agent’s exercise or enforcement of any remedy it may have against Borrower or any other Person, or against any collateral or other security for any Guaranteed Obligations;

(ii) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not merely of collectability;

(iii) Lender may enforce this Section 12 upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute among Agent and Lender, on the one hand, and Borrower or any other Person, on the other hand, with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

(iv) such Subsidiary Guarantor’s payment of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations remaining unsatisfied; and

(v) such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be impaired or affected by, nor shall such Subsidiary Guarantor be exonerated or discharged by, any of the following events:

(A) any proceeding under any Insolvency Proceeding;

(B) any limitation, discharge, or cessation of the liability of Borrower or any other Person for any Guaranteed Obligations due to any statute, regulation or rule of law, or any invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan Documents;

(C) any merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor or Person, or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the assets or shares of Borrower or any other Person;

(D) any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Agent and Lender’s interests in and rights under this Agreement (including this Section 12) or the other Loan Documents;

(E) any claim, defense, counterclaim or setoff, other than that of prior performance, that Borrower, such Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Guarantor or any other Person may have or assert, including any defense of incapacity or lack of corporate or other authority to execute any of the Loan Documents;

(F) Agent or any Lender’s amendment, modification, renewal, extension, cancellation or surrender of any Loan Document or any Guaranteed Obligations;

(G) Agent or any Lender’s exercise or non-exercise of any power, right or remedy with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations or any collateral;

(H) Agent or any Lender’s vote, claim, distribution, election, acceptance, action or inaction in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law; or

(I) any other guaranty, whether by such Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person, of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of Borrower to Agent or any Lender.

(e) Consents of Subsidiary Guarantors. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally consents and agrees that, without notice to or further assent from such Subsidiary Guarantor:

(i) the principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or decreased and additional indebtedness or obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents may be incurred and the time, manner, place or terms of any payment under any Loan Document may be extended or changed, by one or more amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of any Loan Document or otherwise;

(ii) the time for Borrower’s (or any other Person’s) performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any Loan Document may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to, all in such manner and upon such terms as Agent (as applicable under the relevant Loan Documents) may deem proper;

(iii) Agent may request and accept other guaranties and may take and hold security as collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, exchange, sell, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend such other guaranties or security and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action, and may apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof; and (iv) Agent may exercise, or waive or otherwise refrain from exercising, any other right, remedy, power or privilege even if the exercise thereof affects or eliminates any right of subrogation or any other right of such Subsidiary Guarantor against Borrower.

(f) Subsidiary Guarantor’s Waivers. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives and agrees not to assert:

(i) any right to require Agent and the Lender to proceed against Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, or to pursue any other right, remedy, power or privilege of Agent or the Lender whatsoever;

(ii) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(iii) any defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate or other authority or any other defense of Borrower, such Guarantor or any other Person;

(iv) any defense based upon Agent’s or Lender’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v) any rights to set offs and counterclaims;

(vi) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable laws limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties, or that may conflict with the terms of this Section 12; and

(vii) any and all notice of the acceptance of this guaranty, and any and all notice of the creation, renewal, modification, extension or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the reliance by Agent and Lender upon this Guaranty, or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.

The Guaranteed Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted, incurred and permitted to exist in reliance upon this Guaranty. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice of default, dishonor or nonpayment and all other notices to or upon Borrower, each Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

(g) Financial Condition of Borrower. No Subsidiary Guarantor shall have any right to require Agent or any Lender to obtain or disclose any information with respect to: the financial condition or character of Borrower or the ability of Borrower to pay and perform the Guaranteed Obligations; the Guaranteed Obligations; any collateral or other security for any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; the existence or nonexistence of any other guarantees of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; any action or inaction on the part of Agent, any Lender or any other Person; or any other matter, fact or occurrence whatsoever. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that it has undertaken its own independent investigation of the financial condition of Borrower and all other matters pertaining to this Guaranty and further acknowledges that it is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of Agent or any Lender with respect thereto.

(h) Subrogation. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall be satisfied in full and the Aggregate Commitments shall be terminated, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not have, and shall not directly or indirectly exercise: (i) any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Section 12, by any payment hereunder or otherwise; (ii) any rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar suretyship claims arising out of this Section 12; or (iii) any other right that it might otherwise have or acquire (in any way whatsoever) that could entitle it at any time to share or participate in any right, remedy or security of Agent or a Lender as against any Borrower or other Guarantors or any other Person, whether in connection with this Section 12, any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of the foregoing rights at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent and shall forthwith be paid to Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

(i) Subordination. All payments on account of all indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of Borrower to any Subsidiary Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether due or to become due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined (the “Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness”) shall be subject, subordinate and junior in right of payment and exercise of remedies, to the extent and in the manner set forth herein, to the prior payment in full in Cash or Cash Equivalents of the Guaranteed Obligations. As long as any of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) shall remain outstanding and unpaid, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not accept or receive any payment or distribution by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, or assets of Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including on account of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness, as a result of any collection, sale or other disposition of collateral, or by setoff, exchange or in any other manner, for or on account of the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness (“Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness Payments”), except that, so long as an Event of Default does not then exist, any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to accept and receive payments on its Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness, in accordance with past business practices of such Subsidiary Guarantor and Borrower (or any other applicable Subsidiary Guarantor) and not in contravention of any law or the terms of the Loan Documents.

If any Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness Payments shall be received in contravention of this Section 12, such Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness Payments shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent and shall be paid over or delivered to Agent for application to the payment in full in Cash or Cash Equivalents of all Guaranteed Obligations remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to give effect to this Section 12 after giving effect to any concurrent payments or distributions to Lender in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(j) Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and agreement of subordination and shall continue in effect and be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor until termination of the Term Commitment and payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, including Guaranteed Obligations which may exist continuously or which may arise from time to time under successive transactions, and each Subsidiary Guarantor expressly acknowledges that this guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that there may be periods in which no Guaranteed Obligations exist. This Guaranty shall continue in effect and be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor until actual receipt by Agent of written notice from such Subsidiary Guarantor of its intention to discontinue this Guaranty as to future transactions (which notice shall not be effective until noon on the day that is five Business Days following such receipt); provided that no revocation or termination of this guaranty shall affect in any way any rights of Agent or any Lender hereunder with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or outstanding on the date of receipt of such notice, including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the terms or conditions thereof, or any Guaranteed Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of Lender in existence as of the date of such revocation (collectively, “Existing Guaranteed Obligations”), and the sole effect of such notice shall be to exclude from this Guaranty Guaranteed Obligations thereafter arising which are unconnected to any Existing Guaranteed Obligations.

(k) Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated and revived, as the case may be, if, for any reason, any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by or on behalf of Borrower (or receipt of any proceeds of collateral) shall be rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, voided or otherwise required to be repaid to Borrower, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other Person (including under any Bankruptcy Law), or must otherwise be restored by Lender, whether as a result of proceedings under any bankruptcy law or otherwise. All losses, damages, costs and expenses that Agent or any Lender may suffer or incur as a result of any voided or otherwise set aside payments shall be specifically covered by the indemnity in favor of Agent and the Lender contained in Section 12.

(l) Substantial Benefits. The Advances provided to or for the benefit of Borrower hereunder by Lender have been and are to be contemporaneously used for the benefit of Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries. It is the position, intent and expectation of the parties that Borrower and each Subsidiary Guarantor have derived and will derive significant and substantial benefits from the Advances to be made available by Lender under the Loan Documents. Each Subsidiary Guarantor has received at least “reasonably equivalent value” (as such phrase is used in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and in comparable provisions of other applicable Laws) and more than sufficient consideration to support its obligations hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. Immediately prior to and after and giving effect to the incurrence of each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, such Subsidiary Guarantor will be solvent and will not be subject to any Insolvency Proceedings.

(m) KNOWING AND EXPLICIT WAIVERS. EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT EITHER HAS OBTAINED THE ADVICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN SUCH ADVICE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 12. EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT EACH OF THE WAIVERS AND CONSENTS SET FORTH HEREIN IS MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ITS SIGNIFICANCE AND CONSEQUENCES, THAT ALL SUCH WAIVERS AND CONSENTS HEREIN ARE EXPLICIT AND KNOWING AND THAT EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR EXPECTS SUCH WAIVERS AND CONSENTS TO BE FULLY ENFORCEABLE.

If, while any Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness is outstanding, any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law is commenced by or against Borrower or its property, Agent, when so instructed by Lender, is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in the name of Borrower or in the name of any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, xxx for, collect and receive every payment or distribution in respect of all Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness and give acquittances therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including voting the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness) as it may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of Lender; and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall promptly take such action as Lender may reasonably request: (A) to collect the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness for the account of the Borrower and any Subsidiary Guarantor and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness; (B) to execute and deliver to Agent such powers of attorney, assignments and other instruments as it may request to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness; and (C) to collect and receive any and all Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness Payments.

(n) Any payment on account of an amount that is payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document must be made in United States Dollars.
