ARTICLE II.
THE COMMITMENT AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS
2.01 Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any borrowing, the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Commitment. Within the limits of the Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.04, and reborrow under this Section 2.01. A Loan may be a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan, as further provided herein.
2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans.
(a) Each borrowing, each conversion of a Loan from one Type to the other, and each continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Lender, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan or of any conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, and (ii) on the requested date of any borrowing of a Base Rate Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the provisions of Section 9.02(d), any such telephonic notice may be given by an individual who has been authorized in writing to do so by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Lender of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be in a principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Section 2.03(c), each borrowing of or conversion to a Base Rate Loan shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a borrowing, a conversion of a Loan from one Type to the other, or a continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, (ii) the requested date of the borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of the Loan to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loan to be borrowed or to which an existing Loan is to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loan shall be made as, or converted to, a Base Rate Loan. Any such automatic conversion to a Base Rate Loan shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loan. If the Borrower requests a borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.
-22-
(b) Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if a borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Lender shall make the proceeds of each Loan available to the Borrower either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Lender with the amount of such proceeds or (ii) wire transfer of such proceeds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Lender by the Borrower; provided, however, that if on the date of the Loan Notice with respect to such borrowing is given, there are drawings under Letters of Credit that have not been reimbursed by the Borrower, then the proceeds of such borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such unreimbursed drawings, and second, to the Borrower as provided above.
(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loan may be requested as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Lender.
(d) The Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time that a Base Rate Loan is outstanding, the Lender shall notify the Borrower of any change in the Lender’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
(e) After giving effect to all borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect.
2.03 Letters of Credit.
(a) The Letter of Credit Commitment.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees (A) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, and to amend or extend Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with subsection (b) below, and (B) to honor drawings under the Letters of Credit; provided that after giving effect to any L/C Credit Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, (y) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Commitment or (z) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations shall not exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Each request by the Borrower for the issuance or amendment of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a representation by the Borrower that the L/C Credit Extension so requested complies with the conditions set forth in the proviso to the preceding sentence. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to

(ii) The Lender shall not issue any Letter of Credit, if:
(A) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last extension; or
(B) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date.
(iii) The Lender shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Lender from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the Lender or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Lender shall prohibit, or request that the Lender refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Lender with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Lender is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon the Lender any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which the Lender in good xxxxx xxxxx material to it;

(E) such Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.
(iv) The Lender shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) the Lender would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.
-24-
(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of Credit.
(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to the Lender in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such L/C Application must be received by the Lender not later than 1:00 p.m., at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as the Lender may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Lender: (A) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof; (C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof; (E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (G) such other matters as the Lender may require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail satisfactory to the Lender (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended; (B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the Lender may require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the Lender such other documents and information pertaining to such requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as the Lender may require.
(ii) Upon the Lender’s determination that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Lender shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in accordance with the Lender’s usual and customary business practices.
(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must permit the Lender to prevent any such extension at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day in each such twelve-month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the Lender, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the Lender for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, permit the extension of such Letter of Credit to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Lender shall have no obligation to permit the renewal of any Auto-Extension Letter of Credit at any time if it has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its extended form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise).
-25-
(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the Lender will also deliver to the Borrower a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c) Drawings and Reimbursements.
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the Lender shall notify the Borrower thereof. Not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of any payment by the Lender under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the Lender in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the Lender, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of a Base Rate Loan to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the amount of such unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Commitment and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Loan Notice).
(ii) If the Borrower fails to reimburse the Lender for any drawing under any Letter of Credit (whether by means of a borrowing or otherwise), such Unreimbursed Amount shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(d) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Lender for each drawing under each Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document;
(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that the Borrower or any Subsidiary may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;
(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv) any payment by the Lender under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the Lender under such Letter of Credit to any
-26-
Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; or
(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any Subsidiary.
The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the Lender. The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Lender and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(e) Role of Lender. The Borrower agrees that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Lender shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the Lender, any of its Affiliates, any of the respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attroneys-in-fact of the Lender and its Affiliates, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Lender shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.03(d); provided, however, that anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the Lender, and the Lender may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by the Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or the Lender’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(f) Cash Collateral. Upon the request of the Lender, (i) if the Lender has honored any full or partial drawing request under any Letter of Credit and such drawing has not been reimbursed on the applicable Honor Date, or (ii) if, as of the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations. Sections 2.04 and 8.02(c) set forth certain additional requirements to deliver Cash Collateral hereunder.
-27-
For purposes of this Section 2.03, Section 2.04 and Section 8.02(c), “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to the Lender, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender. Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Lender a security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Lender.
(g) Applicability of ISP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Lender and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Letter of Credit.
(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a Letter of Credit fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. For purposes of computing the daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (ii) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the Default Rate.
(i) Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to Lender. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the Lender relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(k) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the Lender hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
2.04 Prepayments.
(a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Lender, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay any Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Lender not later than 1:00 p.m. (A) three Business Days
-28-
prior to any date of prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, and (B) on the date of prepayment of a Base Rate Loan; (ii) any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be in a principal amount of $250,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of a Base Rate Loan shall be in a principal amount of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loan(s) to be prepaid. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05.
(b) If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.04(b) unless after the prepayment in full of the Loans the Total Outstandings exceed the Commitment then in effect.
(c) The Borrower shall apply 100% of the amount of each payment to it under the Capital Contribution Agreement, on each such date that such a payment is made, first, to prepay outstanding Loans (or at the election of the Lender to other outstanding Obligations), and second, to Cash Collateralize any L/C Obligations until all such obligations are fully Cash Collateralized or as the Lender may otherwise direct.
2.05 Termination or Reduction of Commitment. The Borrower may, upon notice to the Lender, terminate the Commitment, or from time to time permanently reduce the Commitment; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Lender not later than 1:00 p.m., five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $250,000 or any whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Commitment if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Commitment, and (iv) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Commitment, the Letter of Credit Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Commitment, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. All fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.
2.06 Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Lender on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date.
2.07 Interest.
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
-29-
(b) (i) If any amount payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(ii) While any Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(iii) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
2.08 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section 2.03:
(a) Upfront Fee. On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay to Lender, an upfront fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the Commitment in effect on the Closing Date. Such upfront fee is for the credit facility committed by the Lender under this Agreement, is fully earned on the Closing Date and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
(b) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Lender a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate times the actual daily amount by which the Commitment exceeds the Total Outstandings. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times during the Availability Period, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date. The commitment fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.
2.09 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by the Lender’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(b), bear interest for one day.
-30-
2.10 Evidence of Debt. The Credit Extensions made by the Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lender to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. The Note shall evidence the Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. The Lender may attach schedules to the Note and endorse thereon the date, Type, amount and maturity of each Loan and payments with respect thereto. Each determination by the Lender of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
2.11 Payments Generally.
(a) The Borrower irrevocable authorizes the Lender to debit Bank of America Deposit Account #003278383411 (or such other account as the Borrower may have with the Lender from time to time) for all payments due under this Agreement.
(b) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Lender at the applicable Lending Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 3:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. All payments received by the Lender after 3:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.
(c) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(d) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate the Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by the Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
ARTICLE IIA
SECURITY
2A.01 Security. As security for the full and timely payment and performance of all Obligations, the Borrower shall, and shall cause all other Loan Parties to, on or before the Closing Date, do or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary in the opinion of the Lender and its counsel to grant to the Lender for the benefit of the Secured Parties a duly perfected first priority security interest in all Collateral subject to no prior Lien or other encumbrance except as expressly permitted hereunder.

ARTICLE III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if the Borrower shall be required by applicable law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Lender and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender 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 the Lender.
-33-
(e) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
3.02 Illegality. If the Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for the Lender or its Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of the Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by the Lender to the Borrower, any obligation of the Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from the Lender, prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if the Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
3.03 Inability to Determine Eurodollar Rate. If the Lender determines that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of funding such Loan, the Lender will promptly so notify the Borrower. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Lender revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
-34-
3.04 Increased Costs.
(a) | Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: |
(i) | impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate); |
(ii) | subject the Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any Eurodollar Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by the Lender); or |
(iii) | impose on the Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans or any Letter of Credit; |
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to the Lender of issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of the Lender, the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) | Capital Requirements. If the Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting the Lender or its Lending Office or the Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of the Lender or the Loans made by, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Lender, to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of the Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered. |
(c) | Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. |
-35-
(d) | Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). |
3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of the Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate the Lender for and hold the Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or
(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of the Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower,
including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by the Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under this Section 3.05, the Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
3.06 Mitigation Obligations. If the Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to the Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of the Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if the Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of the Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject the Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to the Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
-36-
3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitment and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

A Participant that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to provide to the Lender such tax forms prescribed by the IRS as are necessary or desirable to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax.
(e) The Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under the Note, if any) to secure obligations of the Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.
9.07 Confidentiality. The Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates and to its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (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 the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
9.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or
-65-
special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by the Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the Lender, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of the Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of the Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Lender or its Affiliates may have. The Lender agrees to notify the Borrower promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
9.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
9.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Lender and when the Lender shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

(c) AT THE REQUEST OF THE BORROWER OR THE LENDER, ANY CLAIM SHALL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (TITLE 9, U.S. CODE) (THE “ACT”). THE ACT WILL APPLY EVEN THOUGH THIS AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT IT IS GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
(d) ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ACT, THE APPLICABLE RULES AND PROCEDURES FOR THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES OF JAMS OR ANY SUCCESSOR THEREOF (“JAMS”) AND THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 9.13.

FORM OF GUARANTY AGREEMENT
THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty Agreement”), dated as of December 30, 2004, is made by EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED AND EACH OTHER PERSON WHO SHALL BECOME A PARTY HERETO BY EXECUTION OF A GUARANTY JOINDER AGREEMENT (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”) to BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States (the “Lender”) and each of the Persons party to Related Credit Arrangements (as defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below)) as more particularly described in Section 19 hereof (together with the Lender, collectively, the “Secured Parties”). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Lender has agreed to provide to TRX, INC., a Georgia corporation (the “Borrower”), a $10,000,000 senior secured revolving credit facility with a letter of credit sublimit pursuant to a Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), between the Borrower and the Lender;
WHEREAS, the Secured Parties may from time to time enter into Related Credit Arrangements for the benefit of the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries;
WHEREAS, each Guarantor is, directly or indirectly, a Subsidiary of the Borrower and will materially benefit from the Credit Extensions and the Related Credit Arrangements; and
WHEREAS, Lender is unwilling to make Credit Extensions from time to time and the Secured Parties are unwilling to enter into the Related Credit Arrangements from time to time unless the Guarantors enter into this Guaranty Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein and in order to induce the Lender to make Credit Extensions from time to time and to induce the Secured Parties to enter into the Related Credit Arrangements from time to time, the parties hereto agree as follows:
D-1
Form of Guaranty Agreement
1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally, absolutely, continually and irrevocably guarantees to each of the Secured Parties the payment and performance in full of the Borrower’s Liabilities (as defined below). For all purposes of this Guaranty Agreement, “Borrower’s Liabilities” means the Borrower’s prompt payment in full, when due or declared due and at all such times, and prompt, full and faithful performance, observance and discharge, of all Obligations (whether now existing or hereafter arising). The Guarantors’ obligations to the Secured Parties under this Guaranty Agreement are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Guarantors’ Obligations” and, with respect to each Guarantor individually, the “Guarantor’s Obligations”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Guarantor individually with respect to its Guarantor’s Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.
Each Guarantor agrees that it is jointly, severally and unconditionally and absolutely liable for the payment of the Borrower’s Liabilities (subject to the limitation in the immediately preceding sentence) and that such Guarantor may be required to pay its Guarantor’s Obligations without any demand upon, or assistance from, the Borrower or any other Person.
The Guarantors’ Obligations are secured by various Security Instruments referred to in the Credit Agreement.
2. Payment. If the Borrower shall default in payment or performance of any of the Borrower’s Liabilities, whether principal, interest, premium, fees (including, but not limited to, costs, fees, reasonable expenses and disbursements of counsel), or otherwise, when and as the same shall become due, and after expiration of any applicable grace period, whether according to the terms of the Credit Agreement, by acceleration, or otherwise, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, then any or all of the Guarantors will, upon demand thereof by the Lender, fully pay to the Lender, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject to any restriction on each Guarantor’s Obligations set forth in Section I hereof, an amount equal to all the Borrower’s Liabilities then due and owing.
3. Absolute Rights and Obligations. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The Guarantors’ Obligations under this Guaranty Agreement shall be joint and several, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense to its obligations under this Guaranty Agreement and all Security Instruments to which it is a party by reason of:
(a) any lack of legality, validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, or of any other agreement or instrument creating, providing security for, or otherwise relating to any of the Guarantors’ Obligations, any of the Borrower’s Liabilities, or any other guaranty of any of the Borrower’s Liabilities (the Loan Documents and all such other agreements and instruments being collectively referred to as the “Related Agreements”);
D-2
Form of Guaranty Agreement
(b) any action taken under any of the Related Agreements, any exercise of any right or power therein conferred, any failure or omission to enforce any right conferred thereby, or any waiver of any covenant or condition therein provided;
(c) any acceleration of the maturity of any of the Borrower’s Liabilities, of the Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Guarantor, or of any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements;
(d) any release, exchange, non-perfection, lapse in perfection, disposal, deterioration in value, or impairment of any security for any of the Borrower’s Liabilities, for any of the Guarantor’s Obligations of any Guarantor, or for any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements;
(e) any dissolution of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other party to a Related Agreement, or the combination or consolidation of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other party to a Related Agreement into or with another entity or any transfer or disposition of any assets of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other party to a Related Agreement;
(f) any extension (including without limitation extensions of time for payment), renewal, amendment, restructuring or restatement of, any acceptance of late or partial payments under, or any change in the amount of any Credit Extension, the Credit Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, in whole or in part;
(g) the existence, addition, modification, termination, reduction or impairment of value, or release of any other guaranty (or security therefor) of the Borrower’s Liabilities (including without limitation the Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Guarantor and obligations arising under any other Guarantee now or hereafter in effect);
(h) any waiver of, forbearance or indulgence under, or other consent to any change in or departure from any term or provision contained in the Credit Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, including without limitation any term pertaining to the payment or performance of any of the Borrower’s Liabilities, any of the Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Guarantor, or any of the obligations or liabilities of any party to any other Related Agreement;
(i) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Guarantor) which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Guarantor, or might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of, a surety or a guarantor, including without limitation any right to require or claim that resort be had to the Borrower or any other Loan Party or to any collateral in respect of the Borrower’s Liabilities or Guarantors’ Obligations.
It is the express purpose and intent of the parties hereto that this Guaranty Agreement and the Guarantors’ Obligations hereunder and under each Guaranty Joinder Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be discharged except by payment as herein provided.
D - 3
Form of Guaranty Agreement
4. Currency and Funds of Payment. All Guarantors’ Obligations will be paid in lawful currency of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, regardless of any law, regulation or decree now or hereafter in effect that might in any manner affect the Borrower’s Liabilities, or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto as against the Borrower, or cause or permit to be invoked any alteration in the time, amount or manner of payment by the Borrower of any or all of the Borrower’s Liabilities.
5. Events of Default. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2 hereof, in the event that there shall occur and be continuing an Event of Default, then notwithstanding any collateral or other security or credit support for the Borrower’s Liabilities, at the Lender’s election and without notice thereof or demand therefor, the Guarantors’ Obligations shall immediately be and become due and payable.
6. Subordination. Until this Guaranty Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 22 hereof, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally subordinates all present and future debts, liabilities or obligations now or hereafter owing to such Guarantor (i) of the Borrower, to the payment in full of the Borrower’s Liabilities, (ii) of every other Guarantor (an “obligated guarantor”), to the payment in full of the Guarantors’. Obligations of such obligated guarantor, and (iii) of each other Person now or hereafter constituting a Loan Party, to the payment in full of the obligations of such Loan Party owing to any Secured Party and arising under the Loan Documents. All amounts due under such subordinated debts, liabilities, or obligations shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, be collected and, upon request by the Lender, paid over forthwith to the Lender for the benefit of the Secured Parties on account of the Borrower’s Liabilities or the Guarantors’ Obligations, as applicable, and, after such request and pending such payment, shall be held by such Guarantor as agent and bailee of the Secured Parties separate and apart from all other funds, property and accounts of such Guarantor.
7. Suits. Each Guarantor from time to time shall pay to the Lender for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on demand, at the Lender’s place of business set forth in the Credit Agreement or such other address as the Lender shall give notice of to such Guarantor, the Guarantors’ Obligations as they become or are declared due, and in the event such payment is not made forthwith, the Lender may proceed to suit against any one or more or all of the Guarantors. At the Lender’s election, one or more and successive or concurrent suits may be brought hereon by the Lender against any one or more or all of the Guarantors, whether or not suit has been commenced against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, or any other Person and whether or not the Secured Parties have taken or failed to take any other action to collect all or any portion of the Borrower’s Liabilities or have taken or failed to take any actions against any collateral securing payment or performance of all or any portion of the Borrower’s Liabilities, and irrespective of any event, occurrence, or condition described in Section 3 hereof.
8. Set-Off and Waiver. Each Guarantor waives any right to assert against any Secured Party as a defense, counterclaim, set-off, recoupment or cross claim in respect of its
D - 4
Form of Guaranty Agreement
Guarantor’s Obligations, any defense (legal or equitable) or other claim which such Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against the Borrower or any or all of the Secured Parties without waiving any additional defenses, set-offs, counterclaims or other claims otherwise available to such Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that each Secured Party shall have a lien for all the Guarantor’s Obligations upon all deposits or deposit accounts, of any kind, or any interest in any deposits or deposit accounts, now or hereafter pledged, mortgaged, transferred or assigned to such Secured Party or otherwise in the possession or control of such Secured Party for any purpose (other than solely for safekeeping) for the account or benefit of such Guarantor, including any balance of any deposit account or of any credit of such Guarantor with the Secured Party, whether now existing or hereafter established, and hereby authorizes each Secured Party from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default at any time or times with or without prior notice to apply such balances or any part thereof to such of the Guarantor’s Obligations to the Secured Parties then due and in such amounts as provided for in the Credit Agreement or otherwise as they may elect. For the purposes of this Section 8, all remittances and property shall be deemed to be in the possession of a Secured Party as soon as the same may be put in transit to it by mail or carrier or by other bailee.
9. Waivers; Subrogation.
(a) Each Guarantor hereby waives to the extent permitted by law notice of the following events or occurrences: (i) acceptance of this Guaranty Agreement; (ii) the Secured Parties’ heretofore, now or from time to time hereafter loaning monies or giving or extending credit to or for the benefit of the Borrower, whether pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Note, any Loan Document, any other Related Agreement or any amendments, modifications, or supplements thereto, or replacements or extensions thereof; (iii) presentment, demand, default, non-payment, partial payment and protest; and (iv) any other event, condition, or occurrence described in Section 3 hereof, including but not limited to the benefits of Official Code of Georgia Annotated §§10-7-24 and 11-3-601 or any similar statute. Each Guarantor agrees that each Secured Party may heretofore, now or at any time hereafter do any or all of the foregoing in such manner, upon such terms and at such times as each Secured Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems advisable, without in any way or respect impairing, affecting, reducing or releasing such Guarantor from its Guarantor’s Obligations, and each Guarantor hereby consents to each and all of the foregoing events or occurrences.
(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that payment or performance by such Guarantor of its Guarantor’s Obligations under this Guaranty Agreement may be enforced by the Lender on behalf of the Secured Parties upon demand by the Lender to such Guarantor without the Lender being required, such Guarantor expressly waiving to the extent permitted by law any right it may have to require the Lender, to (i) prosecute collection or seek to enforce or resort to any remedies against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Borrower’s Liabilities, or (ii) seek to enforce or resort to any remedies with respect to any security interests, Liens or encumbrances granted to any Secured Party by the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person on account of the Borrower’s Liabilities or any guaranty thereof, IT BEING EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD, ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED TO BY SUCH
D - 5
Form of Guaranty Agreement
GUARANTOR THAT DEMAND UNDER THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT MAY BE MADE BY THE LENDER, AND THE PROVISIONS HEREOF ENFORCED BY THE LENDER, EFFECTIVE AS OF THE FIRST DATE ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT OCCURS AND IS CONTINUING UNDER THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.
(c) Each Guarantor further agrees with respect to this Guaranty Agreement that it shall have no right of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnity, nor any right of recourse to security for the Borrower’s Liabilities unless and until 93 days immediately following the Facility Termination Date shall have elapsed without the filing or commencement, by or against any Loan Party, of any state or federal action, suit, petition or proceeding seeking any reorganization, liquidation or other relief or arrangement in respect of creditors of, or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee or conservator in respect to, such Loan Party or its assets. This waiver is expressly intended to prevent the existence of any claim in respect to such subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnity by any Guarantor against the estate of any other Loan Party within the meaning of Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, in the event of a subsequent case involving any other Loan Party. If an amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such rights at any time prior to termination of this Guaranty Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 22 hereof, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be credited and applied upon the Guarantors’ Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or otherwise as the Secured Parties may elect. The agreements in this subsection shall survive repayment of all of the Guarantors’ Obligations, the termination or expiration of this Guaranty Agreement in any manner, including but not limited to termination in accordance with Section 22 hereof, and occurrence of the Facility Termination Date.
10. Effectiveness; Enforceability. This Guaranty Agreement shall be effective as of the date first above written and shall continue in full force and effect until termination in accordance with Section 22 hereof.

11. Representations and Warranties.

general equitable principles; and that such Guarantor’s execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty Agreement (and any Guaranty Joinder Agreement to which such Guarantor is a party) do not violate or constitute a breach of any of its Organization Documents, any agreement or instrument to which such Guarantor is a party, or any law, order, regulation, decree or award of any governmental authority or arbitral body to which it or its properties or operations is subject.
12. Expenses. Each Guarantor agrees to be jointly and severally liable for the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses, including costs, fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel, incurred by any Secured Party in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty Agreement, whether or not suit be brought.

14. Attorney-in-Fact. Each Guarantor hereby appoints the Lender, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as such Guarantor’s attorney-in-fact for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Guaranty Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument which the Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; provided, that the Lender shall have and may exercise rights under this power of attorney only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.
15. Reliance. Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that: (a) such Guarantor has obtained (i) from the Borrower, information concerning the Borrower and the Borrower’s financial condition and affairs and (ii) from other reliable sources, such other information as it deemed material in deciding to provide this Guaranty Agreement and any Guaranty Joinder Agreement (“Other Information”); (b) such Guarantor is not relying on any Secured Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or Affiliates, to provide any such information, now or in the future; (c) such Guarantor has been furnished with and reviewed the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Note and such other Loan Documents as it has requested, is executing this Guaranty Agreement (or the Guaranty Joinder Agreement to which it is a party, as applicable) freely and deliberately, and understands the obligations and financial risk undertaken by providing this Guaranty Agreement (and any Guaranty Joinder Agreement); (d) such Guarantor has relied solely on the Guarantor’s own independent investigation, appraisal and analysis of the Borrower, the Borrower’s financial condition and affairs, the Other Information, and such other matters as it deems material in deciding to provide this Guaranty Agreement (and any Guaranty Joinder Agreement) and is fully aware of the same; and (e) such Guarantor has not depended or relied on any Secured Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or Affiliates, for any information whatsoever concerning the Borrower or the Borrower’s financial condition and affairs or any other matters material to such Guarantor’s decision to provide this Guaranty Agreement (and any Guaranty Joinder Agreement), or for any counseling, guidance, or special consideration or any

H. | Five National Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements (Form UCC-1), each naming a TRX Entity, other than TRX Data, as debtor and Lender as secured party, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Financing Statements”). |
This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(v) of the Credit Agreement.
In the capacity described above, we have reviewed the Transaction Documents and the Financing Statements and considered such matters of law and of fact, including the examination of originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the articles of incorporation, the articles of organization, certificate of limited partnership, bylaws, partnership agreement or operating agreement of each TRX Entity, as applicable, the corporate or other proceedings of each TRX Entity, as applicable, authorizing the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which each such TRX Entity is a party and the performance required of such TRX Entity thereby, a certificate of an officer of each TRX Entity delivered to us (the “Officer’s Certificates”), certificates of officers of each TRX Entity delivered at the closing of the transaction contemplated by the Credit Agreement, certificates of public officials, and such other documents as we have deemed appropriate as a basis for the Opinions (as hereinafter defined) expressed herein.
In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures (other than signatures to the Transaction Documents on behalf of the TRX Entities executed in our presence); the authenticity and completeness of all documents and records submitted to us as originals; the conformity to the original documents and records of all documents and records submitted to us as facsimile, notarial, certified or photostatic copies; and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and records. We have also assumed that each natural person executing documents, instruments or agreements on behalf of the TRX Entities and Parent has sufficient legal competency to do so and to cause the entity for which such individual is signing to be bound by such documents, instruments or agreements, and that the consideration contemplated by any such documents, instruments and agreements has been given. As to all questions of fact material to the Opinions expressed herein, we have assumed, without independent investigation, the accuracy of the factual matters addressed by, and accordingly have relied upon, the Officer’s Certificates, the certificates of officers of the TRX Entities delivered at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement, certificates of public officials, and the representations and warranties of the TRX Entities and Parent contained in the Transaction Documents, all notwithstanding any knowledge or materiality qualification contained therein and upon the compliance of the TRX Entities and Parent with the covenants applicable to each such entity contained in the Transaction Documents. All references herein to any agreement shall be deemed to refer only to the body of such agreement (including the annexes, exhibits and schedules thereto and, solely with respect to the Transaction Documents, defined terms incorporated therein by reference) exclusive of other instruments referred to or incorporated by reference therein.
The Opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the State of Georgia and applicable federal laws of the United States of America in force and effect on the date hereof. We express no opinion with regard to any matter which may be governed by the laws of any other jurisdiction.
E-1- 2
Form of Opinion of XxXxxxx, Long & Xxxxxxxx LLP
We note that certain of the “Material Written Agreements” (as defined below) state that they are to be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of jurisdictions other than the State of Georgia. We do not opine as to whether any court of any jurisdiction will give effect to the governing law provision in such agreements, but have assumed with your permission, hypothetically and solely for purposes of the Opinions expressed in paragraph “4” below, that if a TRX Entity is brought before a proper court in the State of Georgia to enforce rights under the Material Written Agreements, such court will apply the substantive laws of the State of Georgia, notwithstanding the governing law provision contained in any Material Written Agreement.
The term “laws” as used in this opinion letter means the constitution and each of the statutes, judicial and administrative decisions, and rules and regulations of governmental agencies of the relevant jurisdiction, except to the extent that the context in which such term is used limits or makes more specific such meaning. All personal property in which or with respect to which the Security Agreement provides for the creation of a security interest or the conveyance of security or other title is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Property”. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
With your permission, in addition to the assumptions noted in the body of this opinion letter, we have made the assumptions set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.
Whenever an Opinion set forth in this opinion letter is qualified by the words “to our knowledge”, “known to us”, or other words of similar meaning, the quoted words mean the current awareness by lawyers in the Primary Lawyer Group of factual matters such lawyers recognize as being relevant to the Opinion or confirmation so qualified. “Primary Lawyer Group” means Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx X. Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, who are the attorneys in our firm primarily responsible for our legal services relating to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and shall not refer to knowledge of any other person in any way associated with this firm.
The only opinions rendered by this firm consist of the opinions set forth in numbered paragraphs “1” through “13” below following the phrase “it is our Opinion that” (individually, our “Opinion”, and collectively our “Opinions”), and no Opinion is implied or to be inferred beyond matters so expressly stated. Additionally, our Opinions are based upon and subject to the qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth in this opinion letter. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we wish to point out to you that we do not herein express any Opinion as to any of the matters set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto.
Based on the foregoing and the matters set forth on Exhibit B and Exhibit C, and subject to the qualifications stated herein and on Exhibit B and Exhibit C, it is our Opinion that:
1 . Company is a corporation existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Georgia. Each of TRX Fulfillment, TRX Licensing and Travel Technology is a limited liability company existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Georgia. TRX Technology is a limited partnership existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Georgia. TRX Data is a corporation existing and, based solely on the Certificate of Existence attached hereto as Exhibit E, in good standing under the laws of the State of Virginia.

Form of Opinion of XxXxxxx, Long & Xxxxxxxx LLP
2. Each TRX Entity has the corporate, partnership, or limited liability company power, as applicable, to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to perform its obligations under such Transaction Documents, to own and use its assets and to conduct its business as presently conducted.
3. Each TRX Entity has duly authorized the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and all performance by it thereunder, and has duly executed and delivered such Transaction Documents.
4. The execution and delivery by each TRX Entity of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not, and if each such TRX Entity were now to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party such performance would not, result in any (i) violation of such TRX Entity’s certificate of limited partnership, partnership agreement, articles of organization, operating agreement, articles of incorporation or bylaws, as applicable; (ii) violation of any existing federal or State of Georgia law to which such TRX Entity or its assets are subject which either prohibit performance by such TRX Entity of its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party or subject such TRX Entity to a fine, penalty or other similar sanction; (iii) breach of or default under any Material Written Agreement; (iv) creation or imposition of a contractual lien or security interest in, on or against the assets of such TRX Entity under any Material Written Agreements; or (v) violation of any judicial or administrative decree, writ, judgment or order to which, to our knowledge, such TRX Entity or its assets are subject.
With your permission, we have assumed that the term “Material Written Agreements” used in this Opinion Letter includes only those agreements listed on Schedule 5.18 to the Credit Agreement.
5. Each Transaction Document is enforceable against the TRX Entity which is a party thereto in accordance with the terms thereof.
6. The Contribution Agreement is enforceable against Parent in accordance with the terms thereof.
7. Based solely upon our examination of the stock records and minute books of Company through December , 2004 and the Officer’s Certificates, Company’s authorized shares consist of (a) 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of which 12,467,547 shares are outstanding (the “Outstanding Shares”), and 57,552 have been repurchased from employees but are collateral for the promissory notes issued to such employees in exchange for the repurchase of such shares and (b) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which no shares are outstanding. The Outstanding Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. To our knowledge, there no outstanding options, warrants or other similar rights to purchase or otherwise acquire from the Company shares of Common Stock, except as contemplated in the Transaction Documents and as set forth on Schedule 5.13 of the Credit Agreement.
8. The Security Agreement creates a security interest in favor of the Lender in such of the collateral described therein to the extent that a security interest may be created
E-1- 4
Form of Opinion of XxXxxxx, Long & Xxxxxxxx LLP
under Article 9 of the Georgia Uniform Commercial Code, O.C.G.A. §§ 11-9-101 to 11-9-710 (the “UCC”) (such collateral being referred to in the aggregate as the “UCC Collateral” and, with respect to such collateral described in the Security Agreement that has been registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and U.S. Copyright Office, as applicable, the “IP Collateral”). The Financing Statements with respect to the UCC Collateral are in appropriate form for filing and recordation in the Recording Office (as defined in Exhibit B attached hereto). Upon due filing of the Financing Statements with respect to the UCC Collateral in the Recording Office, a security interest will be perfected in that portion of the UCC Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected under the UCC by the filing of a financing statement. Upon due filing of the Trademark Filing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, a security interest will be perfected in that portion of the IP Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by such filing.
9. The Pledge Agreement creates a security interest in favor of the Lender in such of the collateral described therein to the extent that a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the UCC (the “Pledge Agreement Collateral”). The Financing Statements with respect to the Pledge Agreement Collateral are in appropriate form for filing and recordation in the Recording Office. Upon due filing of the Financing Statements with respect to the Pledge Agreement Collateral in the Recording Office, a security interest will be perfected in that portion of the Pledge Agreement Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected under the UCC by the filing of a financing statement. In the case of any Pledge Agreement Collateral evidenced by a certificated security, upon delivery to the Lender of such certificated security, together with the blank stock transfer power pertaining to such certificated security in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, the Lender will have “control” (as defined in § ll-8-106(b) of the UCC) of such certificated security.
10. No consent, approval, authorization or other action by, or filing with, any governmental authority of the United States or the State of Georgia is required for each TRX Entity’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, except for the filing of the Financing Statements with the Recording Office.
11. None of the TRX Entities is: (i) an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company,” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or of a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company,” as such terms are defined in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (iii) subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act, as amended.
12. No taxes, including, but not limited to, transfer, excise, mortgage, intangible, documentary stamp or similar taxes (but excluding income or franchise taxes, as to which we express no opinion) are payable to the State of Georgia or to any governmental authority of the State of Georgia on account of the execution or delivery or recording or filing of the Financing Statements, except for normal filing or recording fees.

Form of Opinion of XxXxxxx, Long & Xxxxxxxx LLP
13. The transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents do not violate the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America.
Based upon the limitations and qualifications set forth herein and in Exhibit B and Exhibit C, we confirm to you that, to our knowledge, no litigation, mediation, arbitration, other alternative dispute resolution proceeding, or adversarial or sanction oriented proceeding before any court, governmental agency or any self-regulatory organization, against any TRX Entity or any of its properties is pending or overtly threatened by a written communication to such TRX Entity.
The Opinions expressed herein are given as of the date hereof, and we expressly decline any undertaking to revise or update any of the Opinions subsequent to the date hereof or to advise you of any matter arising subsequent to the date hereof which would cause us to modify our Opinions, in whole or in part.

GA1-006-13-15

Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000-0000
Willemstad, December [ ], 2004
Ladies and Gentlemen,
We have acted as counsel to BCD HOLDINGS N.V., a corporation organized under the laws of the Netherlands Antilles (the “Parent”), in connection with a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) entered into by TRX, INC. (the “Borrower”) and Bank of America, N.A. (the “Lender”), and a Capital Contribution Agreement (the “Capital Contribution Agreement”) between the Lender, the Borrower and the Parent. This opinion is being delivered to you at the Parent’s request with the understanding that you are relying on this opinion in entering into the Credit Agreement on the date hereof and making the Credit Extensions from time to time described therein.
We have examined and rely upon the following documents in rendering this opinion:
a. a copy of the articles of association of the Parent as they stand since the last amendment on [ ] which are the currently effective articles of association of Parent according to the extract referred to in item b below (“the Articles of Association”);
b. an official extract dated December [ ] 2004 from the Commercial Register of the Curacao Chamber of Commerce relating to the registration of the Parent under number [ ] and confirmed to us by said Chamber of Commerce by telephone at the date hereof to have remained unaltered;
c. a copy of the general foreign exchange exemption license issued to the Parent by the Bank van de Nederlandse Antillen, being the Central Bank of the Netherlands Antilles on [ ];
d. a copy of the Capital Contribution Agreement dated December [ ], 2004; and
For purposes of the opinions expressed below, we have assumed that (i) all signatures (other than those of representatives of the Parent on the Capital Contribution Agreement) on all documents submitted to us are genuine; (ii) all documents submitted to us as originals (other than the Capital Contribution Agreement) are authentic; and (iii) all documents submitted to us as certified copies or photocopies conform to the originals of such documents, which themselves are authentic.
E-2- 1
Form of Opinion of Alexander & Simon
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that:
1. The Parent is duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of the Netherlands Antilles. The Parent is in good standing (meaning that it has not been declared bankrupt, no petition has been filed for an official moratorium and that the Parent has not failed to make any filing or to pay any fee or tax which could make it cease to exist under the laws of the Netherlands Antilles).
2. The Parent has adequate corporate power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver the Capital Contribution Agreement and to comply with the terms, conditions and provisions thereof and perform its obligations thereunder.
3. The Capital Contribution Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Parent and has been duly executed and delivered by the Parent.
4. The execution and delivery by the Parent of the Capital Contribution Agreement and compliance with its terms will not violate any provision of law of the Netherlands Antilles currently enacted, or any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority of the Netherlands Antilles which is currently in effect and is not at variance with or in contravention of, and will not result in a breach of, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute default under the articles of association of the Parent.
5. It is not necessary or desirable to ensure the enforceability of the Capital Contribution Agreement that the Capital Contribution Agreement or any other document or instrument be registered in any register kept by, or filed with, any governmental authority or regulatory body in the Netherlands Antilles.
6. The Parent has been granted a general foreign exchange exemption license by the Bank van de Nederlandse Antillen, being the Central Bank of the Netherlands Antilles and no other order, consent, approval, license, authorization or validation of or exemption by any government or public body or authority of the Netherlands Antilles or any subdivision thereof is required to authorize or is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of the Capital Contribution Agreement.
7. No stamp, registration, documentary or similar taxes are payable under the laws of the Netherlands Antilles by reason of the entering by the Parent into the Capital Contribution Agreement and the execution and delivery by the Parent and the performance by the Parent of its obligations under the Capital Contribution Agreement or in relation to any enforcement proceedings in respect of the Capital Contribution Agreement. However a stamp tax amounting to not more than NAFL.10.00 (US$.5.60) per page of the Capital Contribution Agreement and registration tax of NAFL.5.00 (US$.2.80) are payable in case of registration of the Capital Contribution Agreement in the Netherlands Antilles or if such document is brought into the courts of the Netherlands Antilles.
8. No withholding or similar tax will be imposed, under the current laws of the Netherlands Antilles on any payment to be made by the Parent or the Borrower to the Lender under the Capital Contribution Agreement.
E-2- 2
Form of Opinion of Alexander & Simon
9. The choice of the laws of the State of Georgia in the United States of America to govern the Capital Contribution Agreement is a valid choice of law and the submission therein by the Parent to arbitration in the United States and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Georgia in the United States of America is valid and binding upon the Parent.
10. If any final judgment of a court of the State of Georgia in the United States of America is rendered against the Parent with respect to the Capital Contribution Agreement, such judgment would be the basis for enforcement in the courts of the Netherlands Antilles (and any political subdivisions thereof) provided that (a) it has been established in such court that the Parent was liable in the actual situation, (b) such court had jurisdiction over the subject matter of such action under the applicable laws of the State of Georgia, (c) the judgment is final and conclusive, is not open to attack on the grounds of fraud and is for a definitive sum of money, (d) the proceedings of such court of the State of Georgia comported generally with due process affording the defendant a full and fair opportunity to raise and litigate its defences, and (e) enforcement will not conflict with overriding public policy of the Netherlands Antilles. We are not aware of any provisions of the Capital Contribution Agreement that would conflict on the date hereof with overriding public policy of the Netherlands Antilles.
Our opinions contained herein are rendered solely in connection with the credit extensions and other transactions contemplated under the Credit Agreement and Capital Contribution Agreement and may not be relied upon in any manner by any person or entity other than the addressee hereof, any successor or assignee of the addressee (including successive assignees) and any person or entity who shall acquire a participation interest in the interest of the Lender (collectively, the “Reliance Parties”), or by any Reliance Party for any other purpose. Our opinions herein shall not be quoted or otherwise included, summarized or referred to in any publication or document, in whole or in part, for any purpose whatsoever, or furnished to any Person other than a Reliance Party (or a person or entity considering whether to become a Reliance Party), in each case except as may be required of any Reliance Party by applicable law or regulation, in accordance with any auditing or oversight function or request of regulatory agencies to which a Reliance Party is subject, or otherwise in connection with the administration of the Loan (including, without limitation, the exercise of any right or remedy thereunder).
We express no opinion on any matters except insofar as they are governed by the laws of the Netherlands Antilles.
Sincerely, | ||
