(B)Commitment Shares.
(i)Subject to Section (B)(iii), the Company shall issue to Purchaser (or an entity affiliated with Purchaser, as designated by Purchaser) such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to an aggregate of (y) 5% of the Remaining Amount as of the Closing Date divided by (z) $1.69 per share, which is the consolidated closing bid price of the Company’s common stock as reported by the Exchange immediately preceding the time the parties entered into this Agreement (such shares, the “Commitment Shares”).

For purposes of this Agreement:
“Alternative Financing” means (a) any Equity Financing Transaction and/or (b) any Financing Transaction (other than an Equity Financing Transaction) on terms more favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contemplated by the Note Documents, as determined in good faith by a majority of the Independent Directors then serving on the Company’s board of directors.
“Equity Financing Transaction” means any transaction in which the Company issues or sells any of its equity securities for cash to one or more third party investors. For the avoidance of doubt, an Equity Financing Transaction does not include (i) issuances of securities upon the exercise of any options or warrants outstanding as of the date of this


Agreement, (ii) issuances of stock bonuses or grants of stock awards under any plan to issue securities as compensation to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company duly adopted for such purpose by the Company’s board of directors, (iii) issuances of securities in connection with a merger, acquisition or other business combination or (iv) issuances of securities in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar event.
“Financing Transaction” means any transaction in which the Company receives cash from one or more third party investors or lenders, including, without limitation, through the incurrence of indebtedness or issuance of debt securities.
“Independent Director” means a director who is not an executive officer or employee of the Company, who would satisfy the standards for being considered an independent director under the rules of The NASDAQ Global Market and who, in the opinion of a majority of the Independent Directors then serving on the Company’s board of directors, has no relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director; provided, that it is acknowledged and agreed that an Independent Director shall not include (a) Initial Purchaser or Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, (b) any Person who is an employee of Initial Purchaser, Xxxxxx X.

Xxxxxx, or (d) any Person who, directly or indirectly, is otherwise an Affiliate of Initial Purchaser or Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx; provided, further, however, that, notwithstanding the preceding proviso, a Person shall not be precluded from being determined to be an Independent Director solely because such Person serves on the Board of Directors of an entity with Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx.
(ii)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to Section (B)(iii), in the event of a Change of Control, all of the Commitment Shares that have not previously been earned and issued in accordance with Section (B)(i) shall be earned and issued immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control.
(iii)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue any Commitment Shares, and Purchaser shall not have the right to receive any Commitment Shares, unless and until the Company obtains stockholder approval as required by, and in accordance with, the applicable Listing Rules for the issuance of the Commitment Shares (the “Commitment Shares Stockholder Approval”).

(i)Subject to Section (C)(iii), in connection with each Note sold by the Company to Purchaser and purchased by Purchaser under this Agreement, the Company shall issue to Purchaser (or an entity affiliated with Purchaser, as designated by Purchaser) a Warrant to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (each, a “Purchaser Warrant” and, collectively, the “Purchaser Warrants” and, together with the Commitment Shares, the “Equity Securities”). The number of shares of the Company’s common stock underlying each Purchaser Warrant (“Warrant Shares”) shall be equal to (y) the product of the principal amount of the applicable Note and 20% divided by (z) the exercise price of the applicable Purchaser Warrant.
(ii)Each Purchaser Warrant shall have a term of five (5) years, be substantially in the form attached hereto as Appendix B, and have an exercise price equal to $1.69 per share, which is the consolidated closing bid price of the Company’s common stock as reported by the Exchange immediately preceding the time the parties entered into this Agreement.

(D)Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each Purchaser Warrant will provide that the holder thereof may, in its sole discretion (and without limiting the holder’s rights and remedies contained in the Purchaser Warrant or in any of the other Transaction
2

(E)Stockholder Approval. The Company hereby agrees to seek the Equity Issuances Stockholder Approvals at a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders (which may also be the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders) to be held on or on or before September 9, 2022 (such meeting, the “Stockholder Meeting”). The Company shall file a preliminary proxy statement for the Stockholder Meeting and shall hold the Stockholder Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Equity Issuances Stockholder Approvals, with the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors to the Company’s stockholders that such stockholders vote in favor of the proposals contemplated by the Equity Issuances Stockholder Approvals, and the Company shall solicit proxies from its stockholders in connection therewith in the same manner as all other management proposals in such proxy statement and all management-appointed proxyholders shall vote their proxies in favor of such proposals. In accordance with the Company’s bylaws and the Listing Rules, the voting standard at the Stockholder Meeting for the proposals to approve the issuance of the Commitment Shares and the Purchaser Warrants will be the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter. Further and in accordance with the Listing Rules, Purchaser and its Affiliates will be permitted to vote all shares of the Company’s common stock then owned by them (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any shares of the Company’s common stock issuable hereunder) at such meeting on the proposals to approve the issuance of the Commitment Shares and the Purchaser Warrants.
(F)Conditions Precedent. The obligation of Purchaser to purchase the Notes is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in the Terms, including, among the other conditions precedent set forth therein, the condition that the Chief Financial Officer of the Company shall have delivered a certificate to Purchaser and the Collateral Agent stating that (x) the Company used best efforts to obtain sufficient financing from a third party for the Company to pay and discharge, when due and payable, all Company Obligations, (y) the Company is unable despite its best efforts to obtain such financing from a third party on reasonably acceptable terms, as determined by a majority of the Independent Directors then serving on the Company’s board of directors (such determination to be made as if the financing contemplated by this Agreement were not available to the Company), and (z) (1) absent obtaining the funds requested by the applicable Funding Notice, the Company will not have sufficient unrestricted cash to pay and discharge, when due and payable, the Subject Obligations, and (2) there are no conditions or events that, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through August 15, 2023, after giving effect to the receipt of the funds requested by such Funding Notice and the Remaining Amount.
(G)Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved, and from and after the date hereof the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of the Company’s common stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue the Commitment Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Purchaser Warrants.
(H)Corporate Governance Covenants. From and after the time, if ever, that Purchaser’s beneficial ownership of the Company’s Capital Stock equals a majority of the voting power of the Company’s Capital Stock following the issuance of any of the Company’s securities issuable under this Agreement, the Company and Purchaser shall enter into the Stockholders Agreement attached hereto as Appendix C (the “Stockholders Agreement”).
(I)Termination. The Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the Initial Note Date. Notwithstanding any such termination, (i) any Commitment Shares that have been earned prior to such termination (subject to the Commitment Shares Stockholder Approval) in accordance with Section (B)(i) and/or Section B(ii) will be issued immediately upon receipt of the Commitment Shares Stockholder Approval and (ii) the provisions of Section (E) shall survive such termination and the Company’s obligations to seek the Commitment Shares Stockholder Approval shall continue beyond such termination in accordance with the terms thereof.

(J)Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Equity Securities as required under Regulation D under the Securities Act and to provide a copy thereof to Purchaser promptly upon request. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Equity Securities for, sale to Purchaser under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions to Purchaser promptly upon request.
(K)Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Equity Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, which dilution may be substantial. The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Note Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Commitment Shares and the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, are unconditional and absolute (subject to the Equity Issuances Stockholder Approvals) and are not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
(L)Publicity. The Company and Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases or making any public statements or filings with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement or filing without the other party’s prior consent (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed), except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.
(M)Fees and Expenses. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties, the Company shall reimburse Initial Purchaser for all reasonable and documented, out-of-pocket fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by Initial Purchaser and/or its Affiliates incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Note Documents. The Company shall pay all applicable transfer agent fees (including, without limitation, any fees required for same-day processing of any instruction letter delivered by the Company and any exercise notice delivered by Purchaser), stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the delivery of any Equity Securities to Purchaser hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to reimburse the Initial Purchaser for an amount greater than $150,000.
(N)Incorporation of Terms. The Terms are incorporated by reference herein with the same force and effect as though fully set forth herein.
(O)Remedies. The parties hereto shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically, to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that each of the Company and Purchaser, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in its favor, shall be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions of this Agreement, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages. All of the Company’s rights under this Agreement may be enforced by a majority of the Independent Directors then serving on the Company’s board of directors.

Upon such notice, any obligation of the Purchasers to purchase Notes, and any right of Company to issue Notes shall be suspended until the Requisite Purchasers revoke such notice. Upon such notice, the Requisite Purchasers shall also have the right to elect to have the principal of the outstanding Notes bear interest at a rate the Requisite Purchasers elect in their sole discretion.

(b)Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy.
(i)If any Change in Law shall (i) subject any Purchaser to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Note, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Purchaser in respect thereof on its Notes, loans, loan principal, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or (ii) impose on any Purchaser any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Notes, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to any Purchaser of making or maintaining any loan or Note (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such loan or purchase or hold a Note), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Purchaser hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of any applicable Purchaser, Company will pay to such applicable Purchaser, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such applicable Purchaser for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(ii)Failure or delay on the part of any Purchaser to demand compensation pursuant to Section 2.17(b)(i) shall not constitute a waiver of its right to demand such compensation; provided that Company shall not be required to compensate such Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.17(b)(i) for any reductions in return incurred more than two hundred seventy (270) days prior to the date such Purchaser notifies Company of such law, rule, regulation or guideline giving rise to such reductions and of such Person’s intention to claim compensation therefor, provided further that if such claim arises by reason of the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline that is retroactive or if by operation of law such applicable Purchaser is prohibited from giving such notice, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof or shall be extended by the period such prohibition is in effect.
(c)Compensation for Breakage or Funding Losses. Company shall compensate any Purchaser, upon written request by such Purchaser (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or calculated to be due and payable by such Purchaser to lenders of funds borrowed by it to purchase or carry its Note and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Purchaser in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such applicable Purchaser may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such applicable Purchaser) a purchase of Notes does not occur on a date specified therefor (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, Notes occurs on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Note (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Note is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by Company.

(d)FATCA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein, Company shall not be required to pay any additional amount pursuant to Section 2.19(b) with respect to any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed under FATCA.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Note Party shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Such payment shall be due within ten days of such Note Party’s receipt of such certificate.

2.20    Obligation to Mitigate. Each Purchaser agrees that, if such Purchaser requests payment under Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19, then such Purchaser will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Purchaser and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to hold or maintain its Notes, including any Affected Notes, through another office of such Purchaser if, as a result thereof, the additional amounts payable to such Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19, as the case may be, in the future would be eliminated or reduced and if, as determined by such Purchaser in its sole discretion, the purchasing, holding or maintaining of such Notes through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Notes or the interests of such Purchaser; provided, such Purchaser will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.20 unless Company agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Purchaser as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by Company pursuant to this Section 2.20 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Purchaser shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.21    Defaulting Purchasers. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Purchaser, other than at the direction or request of any regulatory agency or authority, defaults in its obligation to purchase (a “Defaulting Purchaser”) any Note (in each case, a “Defaulted Purchase Obligation”), then (a) except to the extent such Purchaser’s vote is required under Section 10.5(b), during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Purchaser, such Defaulting Purchaser shall be deemed not to be a “Purchaser” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Note Documents; (b) to the extent permitted by
-34-


applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess, if any, with respect to such Defaulting Purchaser shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Notes shall, if Requisite Purchasers so direct at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Notes of other Purchasers as if such Defaulting Purchaser had no Notes outstanding and the outstanding Notes of such Defaulting Purchaser were zero, and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Notes shall, if Requisite Purchasers so direct at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Notes of other Purchasers (but not to the Notes of such Defaulting Purchaser) as if such Defaulting Purchaser had honored all of its Defaulted Purchase Obligations, it being understood and agreed that any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Notes that is not paid to such Defaulting Purchaser solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (b) shall be paid to the non-Defaulting Purchasers on a ratable basis; (c) such Defaulting Purchaser’s Commitments shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the commitment fee payable to Purchasers in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Purchaser, and such Defaulting Purchaser shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section 2.10 with respect to such Defaulting Purchaser’s Commitment in respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Purchaser. No Commitment of any Purchaser shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.21, performance by Company of its obligations hereunder and the other Note Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Purchaser becoming a Defaulting Purchaser or the operation of this Section 2.21.
2.22    Removal or Replacement of a Purchaser. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Purchaser (an “Increased-Cost Purchaser”) shall give notice to Company that such Purchaser is an Affected Purchaser or that such Purchaser is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19, (ii) the circumstances that have caused such Purchaser to be an Affected Purchaser or that entitle such Purchaser to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Purchaser shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after Company’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Purchaser shall become and continue to be a Defaulting Purchaser, and (ii) such Defaulting Purchaser shall fail to cure the default as a result of which it has become a Defaulting Purchaser within five Business Days after Company’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 10.5(b), the consent of Requisite Purchasers shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Purchasers (each a “Non-Consenting Purchaser”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased-Cost Purchaser, Defaulting Purchaser or Non-Consenting Purchaser (the “Terminated Purchaser”), Requisite Purchasers may (which, in the case of an Increased-Cost Purchaser, only after receiving written request from Company to remove such Increased-Cost Purchaser), by giving written notice to Company and any Terminated Purchaser of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Purchaser (and such Terminated Purchaser hereby irrevocably agrees) to transfer its outstanding Notes in full to one or more Eligible Transferees (each a “Replacement Purchaser”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 and such Terminated Purchaser shall pay the fees, if any, payable in connection with any such transfer from an Increased-Cost Purchaser or a Non-Consenting Purchaser or a Defaulting Purchaser; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, the Replacement Purchaser shall pay to Terminated Purchaser an amount equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Notes of the Terminated Purchaser and (B) an amount equal to all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.10 (other than any breakage costs, prepayment premium or other similar amounts that would be payable in connection with a voluntary prepayment); (2) on the date of such assignment, Company shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.17, 2.18 or 2.19 or under any other Note Document; (3) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law, and (4) in the event such Terminated Purchaser is a Non-Consenting Purchaser, each Replacement Purchaser shall consent, at the time of such transfer, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Purchaser was a Non-Consenting Purchaser. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Purchaser, such Terminated Purchaser shall no longer constitute a “Purchaser” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Purchaser to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Purchaser. Each Purchaser agrees that if Requisite Purchasers exercise the option hereunder to cause a transfer by such Purchaser as a Non-Consenting Purchaser, Increased-Cost Purchaser or Terminated Purchaser, such Purchaser shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such transfer in accordance with Section 10.6.

Subject to Section 7.2, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Company to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest that, but for Company’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Company for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.
7.4    Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance that constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:
(a)this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;
(b)Collateral Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Company and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;
(c)the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Company and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Company, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against Company or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Company is joined in any such action or actions;
(d)payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Beneficiary is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(e)any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any
-62-


other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any other Note Party or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Note Documents; and
(f)this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Note Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to depart from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Note Documents, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Note Document, or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Note Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Company or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral that secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims that Company may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, that may or could reasonably be expected to vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
7.5    Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Company, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Company or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Company or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Company or any other Guarantor from any cause other than Payment in Full of all Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law that provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior that amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, that are or could reasonably be expected to be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Company and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law that limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or that may conflict with the terms hereof.
7.6    Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc.. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been Paid in Full, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Company or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in
-63-


equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any other Note Party with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against any other Note Party, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been Paid in Full, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Company or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against any Note Party, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been Paid in Full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.
7.7    Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of Company or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any Distribution collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Collateral Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Collateral Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof. For purposes of this Section 7.7, “Distribution” means, with respect to any Indebtedness subordinated pursuant to this Section 7.7, (a) any payment or distribution by any Person of cash, securities or other property, by set-off or otherwise, on account of such Indebtedness, (b) any redemption of or purchase or other acquisition of such Indebtedness from the Obligee Guarantor by any other Person, and (c) the granting of any lien or security interest to or for the benefit of the Obligee Guarantor or any other Person in or upon any property of any Person to secure such Indebtedness.
7.8    Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been Paid in Full. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.
7.9    Authority of Guarantors or Company. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Company or the officers, Directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.
7.10    Financial Condition of Company. Any credit extension by any Purchaser to Company pursuant to this Agreement or continued from time to time, without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Company at the time of any such grant or continuation. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of Company. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Company on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Company and its ability to perform its obligations under the Note Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Company and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Company now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.
7.11    Bankruptcy, etc.
(a)So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Requisite Purchasers, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against Company or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Company or any other Guarantor or by any defense that Company or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.
(b)Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a)
-64-


above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations that are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order that may relieve any Note Party of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay Collateral Agent, or allow the claim of Collateral Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.
(c)In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by any Note Party, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments that are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.
7.12    Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale (provided that Collateral Agent shall, after receipt of a written certificate of a Chief Financial Officer of Company or Company certifying that such transaction is permitted pursuant to the Note Documents, execute and deliver any documentation reasonably requested by Company in writing to further evidence or reflect any such release, all at the expense of Company).

Section 9.COLLATERAL AGENT
9.1    Appointment of Collateral Agent. If and when appointed by the Purchaser, the Purchasers hereby authorize the Collateral Agent, in such capacity, to act as Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Note Documents, and Collateral Agent agrees to act in its capacity as such upon the express conditions contained herein and the other Note Documents, as applicable. The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of Collateral Agent and the Purchasers and no Note Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, Collateral Agent shall act solely as an agent of Purchaser and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Company or any of its Subsidiaries. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Note Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
9.2    Powers and Duties. Each Purchaser irrevocably authorizes Collateral Agent to take such action on Purchaser’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Note Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. In the event that any obligations are permitted to be incurred and subordinated in right of payment to the Obligations hereunder and/or are permitted to be secured by Liens on all or a portion of the Collateral, each Purchaser authorizes Collateral Agent to enter into intercreditor agreements, subordination agreements and amendments to the Collateral Documents to reflect such arrangements on terms that are acceptable to Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Note Documents. Collateral Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. Collateral Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or any of the other Note Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Purchaser or any other Person; and nothing herein or any of the other Note Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Collateral Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Note Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.
9.3    General Immunity.
(a)No Responsibility for Certain Matters. Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to Purchaser for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other Note Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by Collateral Agent to Purchasers or by or on behalf of any Note Party to Collateral Agent or any Purchaser in connection with the Note Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Note Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall Collateral Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Note Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Notes or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or as to the value or sufficiency of any Collateral or as to the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 3 or elsewhere herein (other than confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Collateral Agent) or to inspect the properties, books or records of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing.
(b)Exculpatory Provisions. Neither Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, partners, Directors, employees or agents shall be liable to the Purchasers for any action taken or omitted by Collateral Agent (i) under or in connection with any of the Note Documents, or (ii) with the consent or at the request of the Requisite Purchasers or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Purchasers or any other instructing group of Purchasers specified by this Agreement, in each case except to the extent caused by Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Collateral Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Note Documents, have any duty to disclose or be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Note Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until Collateral Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from the Requisite Purchasers (or such other Purchasers as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.5) and, upon receipt of such instructions from the Requisite Purchasers (or such other Purchasers, as the case may be),

(d)Notice of Default or Event of Default. Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to such Collateral Agent by a Note Party or any Purchaser. In the event that Collateral Agent shall receive such a notice, Collateral Agent will endeavor to give notice thereof to the Purchasers; provided, that failure to give such notice shall not result in any liability on the part of Collateral Agent.
9.4    Collateral Agent Entitled to Act as Purchaser. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, Collateral Agent in its individual capacity as a Purchaser hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Notes, Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Purchaser” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Collateral Agent in its individual capacity. Collateral Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Company or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Company for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to the Purchasers. Each Purchaser acknowledges that pursuant to such activities, Collateral Agent and its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Note Party or any Affiliate of any Note Party (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Note Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Collateral Agent and its Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.
9.5    [Reserved].
9.6    Right to Indemnity. Each Purchaser, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify Collateral Agent, its Affiliates and their respective officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees and agents of Collateral Agent (each, an “Indemnitee Agent Party”), to the extent that such Indemnitee Agent Party shall not have been reimbursed by any Note Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
-69-


judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee Agent Party in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Note Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Indemnitee Agent Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Note Documents, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory, or sole negligence of such Indemnitee Agent Party; provided, no Purchaser shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Indemnitee Agent Party’s gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order. If any indemnity furnished to any Indemnitee Agent Party for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Indemnitee Agent Party, be insufficient or become impaired, such Indemnitee Agent Party may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided that in no event shall this sentence require any Purchaser to indemnify any Indemnitee Agent Party against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Purchaser’s Pro Rata Share thereof; provided, further, that this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Purchaser to indemnify any Indemnitee Agent Party against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

Anything contained in any of the Note Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, Company, Collateral Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the other Note Documents may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii), or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), Collateral Agent or any Purchaser may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or disposition and Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Purchaser or Purchasers in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Requisite Purchasers shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by Collateral Agent at such sale or other disposition.
(c)[Reserved]
(d)Release of Collateral and Guarantees, Termination of Note Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any other Note Document, when all Obligations have been Paid in Full, upon request of Company, Collateral Agent shall take such actions as shall be required to release its security interest in all Collateral, and to release all guarantee obligations provided for in any Note Document. Any such release of guarantee obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such guarantee obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Company or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Company or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
(e)No Duty. Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Note Party in connection therewith, nor shall Collateral Agent be responsible or liable to the Purchasers for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
(f)Agency for Perfection. Collateral Agent and each Purchaser hereby appoints the Collateral Agent and each other Purchaser as agent and bailee for the purpose of perfecting the security interests in and liens upon the Collateral in assets that, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC, can be perfected only by possession or control (or where the security interest of a Secured Party with possession or control has priority over the security interest of another Secured Party) and Collateral Agent and each Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it holds possession of or otherwise controls any such Collateral for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. Should any Purchaser obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Purchaser shall notify Collateral Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Collateral Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to Collateral Agent or in accordance with Collateral Agent’s instructions. Each Note Party by its execution and delivery of this Agreement hereby consents to the foregoing.

9.10    Collateral Agent May File Bankruptcy Disclosure and Proofs of Claim.

To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Collateral Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Collateral Agent under 2.7(c), 10.2 and 10.3 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Purchasers may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing contained in this Section 9.10 shall be deemed to authorize Collateral Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Purchaser any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Purchaser or to authorize Collateral Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Purchaser in any such proceeding.
9.11    Bankruptcy Plan Voting.

If Purchasers constituting more than half of the total number of Purchasers that vote and having or holding more than two-thirds of the aggregate Voting Power Determinants of all Purchasers that vote timely submit a vote to accept the Plan, Collateral Agent shall submit a ballot on behalf of all Purchasers voting to accept the Plan in accordance with the terms of the Plan or the Voting Procedures Order. If Purchasers constituting more than half of the total number of Purchasers that vote and having or holding more than two-thirds of the aggregate Voting Power Determinants of all Purchasers that vote do not timely vote to accept the Plan, Collateral Agent shall submit a ballot on behalf of all Purchasers voting to reject the Plan in accordance with the terms of the Plan or the Voting Procedures Order. For purposes of calculating the total number of Purchasers and the number of Purchasers voting to accept the Plan, Purchasers that are Affiliates shall be deemed to be a single Purchaser. No Purchaser may submit a ballot with respect to a Plan in contravention of the procedures set forth in this Section 9.11, and Collateral Agent is irrevocably authorized by each Purchaser to withdraw any vote submitted by such Purchaser in contravention of the procedures set forth in this Section 9.11.

-76-


otherwise, to or for the benefit of any current or prospective Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (other than customary upfront fees to be received by any new purchaser providing new commitments) for or as an inducement to any action or inaction by such Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, including any consent, waiver, approval, disapproval, or withholding of any of the foregoing in connection with any required or requested approval, amendment, waiver, consent, or other modification of or under any Note Document or any provision thereof unless such consideration is first offered to all then existing Purchasers in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares and is paid to any such Purchasers that act in accordance with such offer.

Company and Purchasers shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Purchasers in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Notes (including principal and stated interest) listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Note shall be effective, in each case, unless and until recorded in the Register following Company’s receipt of a fully executed Transfer Agreement, together with the forms and certificates regarding tax matters and any fees payable in connection with such transfer, in each case, as provided in Section 10.6(e). Each transfer shall be recorded in the Register promptly following receipt by Company of the fully executed Transfer Agreement and all other necessary documents and approvals and a copy of such Transfer Agreement shall be maintained, as applicable. The date of such recordation of a transfer shall be referred to herein as the “Transfer Effective Date”. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Purchaser shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Notes. It is intended that the Register be maintained such that the Notes are in “registered form” for the purposes of the Internal Revenue Code.
(c)Right to Transfer. Each Purchaser shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including all or a portion of its Commitment or Notes owing to it or other Obligations (provided, however, that pro rata transfers shall not be required and each transfer shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any applicable Note and any related Commitments):

(ii)to any Person otherwise constituting an Eligible Transferee with the consent of Requisite Purchasers and; provided, each such transfer pursuant to this Section 10.6(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount (x) as may be agreed to by Company, (y) as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Notes of the transferring Purchaser or (z) as is transferred by a transferring Purchaser to an Affiliate or Related Fund of such Purchaser) with respect to the transfer of Notes;
provided further, that prior to the occurrence and continuation of a Default or an Event of Default, such assignment shall require the consent of Company, with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided further that Company shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to Purchasers within three (3) Business Days after having received written notice thereof.
(d)Mechanics.
(i)Transfers of the Notes by Purchasers shall be effected by execution and delivery to Company of a Transfer Agreement. Transfers made pursuant to the foregoing provision shall be effective as of the Transfer Effective Date. In connection with all transfers there shall be delivered to Company such forms,

certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to U.S. federal income tax withholding matters as the transferee under such Transfer Agreement may be required to deliver pursuant to Section 2.19(c).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Purchaser hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Purchaser for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(e)Notice of Transfer. Upon its receipt of a duly executed and completed Transfer Agreement, any forms, certificates or other evidence required by this Agreement in connection therewith, Company shall record the information contained in such Transfer Agreement in the Register and shall maintain a copy of such Transfer Agreement.
(f)Representations and Warranties of Transferee. Each Purchaser, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Notes, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the Transfer Effective Date that (i) it is an Eligible Transferee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or notes such as the applicable Commitments or Notes, as the case may be; (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Notes for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Notes within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.6, the disposition of such Commitments or Notes or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control); (iv) it will not provide any information obtained by it in its capacity as a Purchaser to any Note Party or any of its Affiliates; and (v) neither such Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates owns or controls any trade obligations or Indebtedness of any Note Party (other than the Obligations and obligations owing to Warrant Holder or any of its affiliates in respect of the Warrants) or any Capital Stock of any Note Party (other than the Warrants and any Capital Stock received in connection therewith).
(g)Effect of Transfer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.6, as of the Transfer Effective Date: (i) the transferee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Purchaser” hereunder to the extent of its interest in the Notes as reflected in the Register and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Purchaser” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the transferring Purchaser thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been transferred to the transferee, relinquish its rights (other than any rights that survive the termination hereof under Section 10.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of transfer covering all or the remaining portion of a transferring Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Purchaser shall cease to be a party hereto on the Transfer Effective Date; provided that anything contained in any of the Note Documents to the contrary notwithstanding and (y) such transferring Purchaser shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such transferring Purchaser as a Purchaser hereunder); and (iii) the transferring Purchaser shall, upon the effectiveness of such transfer or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its existing Note to Company for cancellation, and thereupon Company shall issue and deliver a new Note to such transferee and/or to such transferring Purchaser, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the outstanding Notes of the transferee and/or the transferring Purchaser.
(h)[Reserved].
(i)Certain other Transfers. In addition to any other transfer permitted pursuant to this Section 10.6, any Purchaser may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its Notes, the other Obligations owed by or to such Purchaser, and its Notes to secure obligations of such Purchaser including to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that no Purchaser, as between Company and such Purchaser, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such transfer and pledge, and provided further, that in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Purchaser” or be entitled to require the transferring Purchaser to take or omit to take any action hereunder.
-78-


10.7    Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
10.8    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the occurrence of any Credit Date. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Note Party set forth in Sections 2.17(c), 2.18, 2.19, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.10 and the agreements of Purchaser set forth in 2.16, 9.3(b) and 9.6 shall survive the Payment in Full of the Obligations.
10.9    No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Collateral Agent or any Purchaser in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any Note Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to Collateral Agent and each Purchaser hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Note Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.
10.10    Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither Collateral Agent nor any Purchaser shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Note Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Note Party makes a payment or payments to the Purchasers or Collateral Agent or Collateral Agent or any Purchaser enforces any security interests or exercises any right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
10.11    Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any Note Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid, legal and enforceable provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as reasonably possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
10.12    Obligations Several; Actions in Concert. The obligations of Purchasers hereunder are several and no Purchaser shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Purchaser hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Note Document, and no action taken by Purchasers pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. Anything in this Agreement or any other Note Document to the contrary notwithstanding, each Purchaser hereby agrees with each other Purchaser that no Purchaser shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or any Note or otherwise with respect to the Obligations without first obtaining the prior written consent of Requisite Purchasers (as applicable), it being the intent of Purchasers that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement or any other Note Document with respect to the Obligations shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Requisite Purchasers (as applicable).
10.13    Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
10.14    APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER (INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS SOUNDING IN CONTRACT LAW OR TORT LAW ARISING OUT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY DETERMINATIONS WITH RESPECT TO POST-JUDGMENT INTEREST) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

10.16    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS NOTE TRANSACTION OR THE PURCHASER/ISSUER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED.

EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN ITS RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE NOTES MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
10.17    Confidentiality. Collateral Agent and each Purchaser shall hold all non-public information regarding Company and its Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such by Company and obtained by Collateral Agent or such Purchaser pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with Collateral Agent’s or such Purchaser’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by each Note Party that, in any event, Collateral Agent and any Purchaser may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Purchaser or Collateral Agent and to their respective officers, Directors, partners, members, employees, legal counsel, independent auditors and other advisors, experts, or agents on a confidential basis (and to other Persons authorized by a Purchaser or Collateral Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.17), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any potential or prospective assignee or transferee in connection with the contemplated assignment or transfer of any Notes or by any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Note Party and its obligations (provided that such assignees, transferees, counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by either the provisions of this Section 10.17 or other substantially similar confidentiality restrictions), (iii) disclosure on a confidential basis to any rating agency when required by it, (iv) disclosure on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Notes, (v) disclosures in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Note Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Note Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) disclosures made pursuant to the order of any court or administrative agency or in any pending legal or administrative proceeding, or otherwise as required by applicable law or compulsory legal process (in which case such Person agrees to inform Company promptly thereof to the extent not prohibited by law), (vii) disclosures made upon the request or demand of any regulatory or quasi-regulatory authority (including the NAIC) purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or any of its Affiliates, (viii) disclosure to any Purchasers’ financing sources; provided that prior to any disclosure such financing
-80-


source is informed of the confidential nature of the information, (ix) disclosure to rating agencies and (x) disclosures with the consent of the relevant Note Party.
10.18    Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Notes issued hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest that would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Notes issued hereunder are Paid in Full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest that would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Company shall pay to Purchasers an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest that would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Purchasers and Company to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if Purchaser contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration that constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Purchaser’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Notes issued hereunder or be refunded to Company. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by a Purchaser exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person 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.
10.19    Effectiveness; Counterparts. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Company and Collateral Agent of written notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
10.20    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the other Note Documents (including any such other Note Document entered into prior to the date hereof) and the Warrants, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, made prior to the date hereof.
10.21    PATRIOT Act. Each Purchaser hereby notifies each Note Party that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Note Party, which information includes the name and address of each Note Party and other information that will allow such Purchaser to identify such Note Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.
10.22    Electronic Execution of Transfers and Note Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Transfer Agreement or any other Note Document shall in each case be deemed to include electronic signatures, signatures exchanged by electronic transmission, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided, that Collateral Agent may request, and upon any such request the Note Parties shall be obligated to provide, manually executed “wet ink” signatures to any Note Document.
10.23    No Fiduciary Duty. Collateral Agent, each Purchaser, and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Purchasers”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Note Parties, their equity holders and/or their affiliates. Each Note Party agrees that nothing in the Note Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Purchaser, on the one hand, and such Note Party, its equity holders or its affiliates, on the other. The Note Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Note Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Purchaser has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Note Party, its equity holders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Purchaser has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Note Party, its equity holders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Note Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Note Documents and (y) each Purchaser is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Note Party, its management,
-81-


stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Note Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Note Party agrees that it will not claim that any Purchaser has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Note Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Within one (1) Business Day following an exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the Company, at the Holder’s election, (a) in cash, (b) by certified check payable to the order of the Company, (c) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, (d) by cancellation of Warrant Shares, with any such Warrant Shares so cancelled being credited against such payment in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value thereof, as set forth in Section 1.4, or (e) if the Holder is the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, by the surrender by the Holder to the Company of any indebtedness of the Company held by the Holder, with any such indebtedness of the Company so surrendered being credited against such payment in an amount equal to the then outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon through the date of surrender, or by any combination of any of the foregoing methods, of the amount obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Warrant Shares designated in such subscription by (ii) the Per Share Warrant Exercise Price (the “Aggregate Purchase Price”) and the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number and type of duly authorized Warrant Shares, determined as provided in Sections 2 through 4. The Company acknowledges that the provisions of clauses (d) and (e) are intended, in part, to ensure that a full or partial exchange of this Warrant will qualify as a conversion, within the meaning of paragraph (d)(3)(ii) of Rule 144 promulgated by the Commission under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). At the request of the Holder, the Company will accept reasonable modifications to the exchange procedures provided for in this Section 1.1 in order to accomplish such intent. For the avoidance of doubt, this Warrant shall only be exercisable at the Per Share Warrant Exercise Price. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of a Notice of Exercise shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.
1 Insert Acuitas Capital LLC (or an entity affiliated with it, as designated by Acuitas Capital LLC).
2The number of Common Shares shall be equal to (y) the product of the principal amount of the applicable Note and 20% divided by (z) the Per Share Warrant Exercise Price.


1.2Trading Exchange Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise, and shall be deemed not to have exercised, any portion of this Warrant, if the issuance of such Warrant Shares (taken together with the issuance of all Warrant Shares upon the exercise of Warrants) would exceed the aggregate number of Common Shares which the Company may issue upon exercise of Warrants without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Exchange (the number of shares which may be issued without violating such rules and regulations, the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply (A) from and after the effectiveness of the approval of the Company’s stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Exchange for issuances of Warrant Shares in excess of such amount or (B) in the event that the Company obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.
1.3When Exercise Effective. Subject to Section 1.2, each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day on which the Company receives the applicable Notice of Exercise, together with the applicable Aggregate Purchase Price (unless this Warrant is being exercised on a cashless basis pursuant to Section 1.4), and at such time, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder.
1.4Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Purchase Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Warrant Shares determined according to the following formula:
Net Number = Y(A – B) / A
For purposes of the foregoing formula:
Y = the total number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.
A= The Fair Market Value at the time of such exercise, but in any event not less than $0.01.
B= the Per Share Warrant Exercise Price at the time of such exercise.
1.5Delivery of Stock Certificates and New Warrant. As soon as practicable after each exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Company at its sole expense (including the payment by it of any issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder or, subject to Section 12, as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:
(a) (i) stock certificate or certificates for the number of duly authorized Warrant Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise free of restrictive legends (other than legends indicating such securities are “control securities”), or (ii) an electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares to the Holder’s account at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or a similar organization, unless in the case of clause (i) and (ii) a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective, the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable
-2-


without volume and manner of sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or, in the case of clause (ii), electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares is not available because the Warrant Shares are “control securities,” in which case such Holder shall receive a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise with appropriate restrictive legends (it being understood that following the issuance of a legal opinion reasonably acceptable to the Company (if such an opinion is requested by the Company), the Holder may request book entry notation at the Company’s transfer agent). If the Warrant Shares are to be issued free of all restrictive legends (including legends indicating such securities are “control securities”), the Company shall, upon the written request of the Holder, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through DTC or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available; provided, that, the Company may, but will not be required to, change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through such a clearing corporation;
(b)in lieu of any fractional Warrant Share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Fair Market Value of one Common Share as of the Business Day next preceding the date of such exercise; and
(c)in case such exercise is in part only, a new Warrant or Warrants of like tenor, dated the date hereof, and calling for (in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof) the number of Warrant Shares equal (without giving effect to any subsequent adjustment thereof) to the number of such Common Shares called for on the face of this Warrant (as adjusted pursuant to the terms hereof through the applicable exercise date) minus the number of such Common Shares designated by the Holder upon such exercise.
1.6Transfers. The Holder agrees and undertakes that if the Holder proposes to Transfer any Warrants or Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise thereof to persons other than the Affiliates of the Holder, and if such Warrant or Warrant Shares are not then registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and bears a restrictive legend, then the Holder proposing to make such Transfer shall give written notice to the Company describing briefly the manner in which any such proposed Transfer is to be made, and no such Transfer shall be made unless the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel for the Holder reasonably acceptable to the Company that registration under the Securities Act is not required with respect to such Transfer.
2.CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS
2.1    Adjustment to Exercise Price and Warrant Shares Upon Dividend, Subdivision or Combination of Common Shares. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time after the date hereof, subdivide (by any stock split, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, the Per Share Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to any such subdivision shall be proportionately reduced and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the Per Share Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 2.1 shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
2.2    Dividends and Distributions. If the Company at any time or from time to time after the date hereof declares, orders, pays or makes a dividend or other distribution (including any distribution of cash, securities or other property, by way of dividend or spin-off, reclassification, recapitalization or similar corporate rearrangement or otherwise) or makes any payment on or with respect to its Equity Securities then, and in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to receive an
-3-


amount in cash, securities or other property as if this Warrant had been exercised in full and converted to Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1 (without giving effect to Section 1.2) immediately prior to the close of business on the day immediately preceding the record date; provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to convert, exercise or exchange Equity Securities received under this Section 0 would result in the Holder exceeding the Exchange Cap, then the Holder shall not be entitled to convert, exercise or exchange such Equity Securities to such extent and the right to convert, exercise or exchange such Equity Securities to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Exchange Cap, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any right to convert, exercise or exchange Equity Securities granted, issued or sold on such initial Equity Security or on any subsequent Equity Security to be held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation.
3.CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.
3.1    Adjustments for Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets, Reorganizations, etc. If after the date hereof the Company shall (a) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Company and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, the Warrant Shares shall be changed into or exchanged for cash or securities of any other Person or any other property, (c) Transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of the Warrant Shares and/or its Equity Securities or a conversion to a new domicile (each such transaction, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, and in the case of each such Fundamental Transaction, proper provision shall be made so that upon the basis and the terms and in the manner provided in this Warrant, the Holder, upon the exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, shall be entitled to receive (after giving effect to the payment of the Per Share Warrant Exercise Price), in lieu of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise prior to such consummation, the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property to which the Holder would actually have been entitled as an equity holder upon such consummation if the Holder had exercised the rights represented by this Warrant immediately prior thereto, subject to adjustments (subsequent to such consummation) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in Sections 2, 3 and 4.
3.2    Assumption of Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Warrant to the contrary, the Company will not effect any of the transactions described in Section 3.1 unless, prior to the consummation thereof, each Person (other than the Company) that may be required to deliver any cash, securities or other property upon the exercise of this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to, and reasonably satisfactory to, the Holder, (a) the obligations of the Company under this Warrant (and if the Company shall survive the consummation of such transaction, such assumption shall be in addition to, and shall not release the Company from, any continuing obligations of the Company under this Warrant) and (b) the obligation to deliver to the Holder such cash, securities or other property as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and such Person shall have similarly delivered to the Holder an opinion of counsel for such Person, which counsel and opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, stating that this Warrant shall thereafter continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof (including all of the provisions of this Section 3) shall be applicable to the cash, securities or other property that such Person may be required to deliver upon any exercise of this Warrant or the exercise of any rights pursuant hereto.
4.OTHER DILUTIVE EVENTS. If any event shall occur as to which the provisions of Sections 2 or 3 are not strictly applicable but with respect to which the failure to make any adjustment would not fairly protect the Holders or the antidilution rights represented by this Warrant in accordance with its essential intent and principles, then, in each such case, at the
-4-


request of the Holder, the Company shall appoint a firm of independent investment bankers of recognized national standing (which shall be completely independent of the Company and shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Holder), which shall give its opinion upon the adjustment, if any, on a basis consistent with the essential intent and principles established in Sections 2 and 3, necessary to preserve, without dilution, the purchase rights or rights to the issuance of additional Equity Securities represented by this Warrant. Upon receipt of such opinion, the Company will promptly mail a copy thereof to the Holder and shall make the adjustments described therein.
5.NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Articles or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but shall at all times in good faith carry out all of the terms and provisions in this Warrant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not permit the par value of any Warrant Shares to exceed the amount payable therefor upon such exercise, (b) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue the Warrant Share and (c) will not take any action that results in the total number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant exceeding the total number of Common Shares then authorized by the Articles and available for the purpose of issuance upon such exercise.
6.NOTICES OF CORPORATE ACTION. If at any time prior to the Expiration Date and prior to the exercise in full of this Warrant, the Company agrees or commits to any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of its Equity Securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any Equity Securities of the Company or any other property, or to receive any other right, then the Company will deliver to the Holder a notice, not less than 10 days prior to the proposed occurrence of such event, specifying the expected date of such event, together with all material information relating thereto, and shall promptly notify the Holder of all material developments relating thereto or as otherwise requested by the Holder.
7.REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
7.1    Generally. If any Registrable Securities required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of this Warrant require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law (other than the Securities Act) before such Registrable Securities may be issued, then the Company will, at its sole expense and as expeditiously as possible, cause such Registrable Securities to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be.
7.2    Registration Rights.
(a)So long as the Holder holds Registrable Securities (or Warrants exercisable for Registrable Securities), the Holder (or, for the avoidance of doubt, if there are multiple Holders, then the Holder or Holders constituting the Requisite Holders) shall have the right to require the Company to file registration statements, including a shelf registration statement (if the Company is eligible at such time to utilize a shelf registration for the Warrant Shares), and if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, an automatic shelf registration statement, on Form S-3 or any successor form under the Securities Act covering all or any part of the Warrant Shares, by delivering a written request therefor to the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to file a registration statement (i) any earlier than 30 days after the Purchaser Warrant Stockholder Approval (as such term is defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) is obtained or (ii) for less than all of the Registrable Securities held (and issuable upon exercise of Warrants held) by the demanding Holder unless the Registrable Securities subject to the demand are anticipated to have
-5-


an aggregate sale price (net underwriting discounts and commissions, if any) in excess of $1,000,000. Such request shall state the number of Warrant Shares to be disposed of and the intended method of disposition of such shares by the Holder. In the event there are multiple Holders, the Company shall give notice to all other Holders of the receipt of a request for registration pursuant to this Section 7.2and such Holders shall then have thirty (30) days to notify the Company in writing of their desire to participate in the registration. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to effect promptly the registration statement registering all shares on Form S-3 (or a comparable successor form) to the extent requested by the Holder, but in any event shall cause the registration statement to become effective within sixty (60) days after the date of the request by the Holder (or ninety (90) days in the event of a “full review” by the SEC). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to keep such registration statement effective until the Holder has completed the distribution described in such registration statement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, to the extent that registration on Form S-3 is not available to register the Registrable Securities, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration on Form S-1 under the Securities Act.
(b)If, at any time and from time to time, the Company proposes to register any of its Equity Securities under the Securities Act in connection with an underwritten public offering of such shares of such Equity Securities, then the Company will promptly give notice to the Holder of its intention to do so. Upon the request of any Holder received within ten (10) days after receipt of any such notice from the Company, the Company will, in each instance, cause such Holder’s Warrant Shares to be registered under the Securities Act and registered or qualified, as the case may be, under any state securities laws; provided, however, that the obligation to give such notice and to cause such registration shall not apply to any registration (i) on Form S-8 (or any successor form), (ii) of solely a dividend reinvestment plan or (iii) for the sole purpose of offering registered securities to another Person in connection with the acquisition of assets or Equity Securities of such Person or in connection with a merger, consolidation, combination or similar transaction with such Person. In connection with any underwritten offering of securities on behalf of the Company or any Stockholder, the Company shall not be required to include any Warrant Shares held by a Holder unless the Holder agrees to the reasonable and customary terms of the underwriting; provided, however, that (i) such Holder shall not be required to make any representation other than that it being the owner of the applicable Warrant Shares (subject to exercise of the applicable portion of this Warrant) that are being included in the offering and that it has full power and authority to transfer them pursuant such offering, and (ii) the total indemnification or other liability of such Holder thereunder shall be limited to the aggregate net cash proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of such Warrant Shares in such offering. The Company will include in any registration effected pursuant to this Section 7.2 (i) first, securities offered to be sold by the Company and by any holder of demand registration rights that is exercising such rights in connection with such registration, (ii) second, the Piggyback Shares, in each case pro rata based on the number of Warrant Shares held thereby (in such quantity as will not, in the written opinion of the underwriters, jeopardize the success of the offering), and (iii) third, any other securities requested to be included in such registration (in such quantity as will not, in the written opinion of the underwriters, jeopardize the success of the offering).
7.3    Expenses. The Company will pay Registration Expenses (as defined in this Section 7.3) in connection with all registrations (which, for purposes of this section, shall include any qualifications, notifications and exemptions). “Registration Expenses” means all reasonable expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with its obligations under this Section 7, including all registration and filing fees (including fees of the Commission and a national stock exchange or national securities market), all fees and expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws, all word processing, duplicating and printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and of its independent public accountants, and premiums and other costs of policies of insurance against liabilities arising out of the public offering of
-6-


such securities. In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Section 8 (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. All underwriting discounts, selling commissions, fees and disbursements of Holder’s Counsel (as defined below), and stock transfer taxes and other non-Registration Expenses applicable to the sale of the Registrable Securities of the Holders shall be borne and paid by the Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf.
7.4    Reserved.
7.5    Obligations of the Company. In connection with the Company’s obligations hereunder, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a)prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to the Registrable Securities and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder notify the Company otherwise, to keep such registration statement effective until the distribution contemplated in the registration statement has been completed; provided, that, the Company shall furnish, at least five (5) Business Days before filing such registration statement, a prospectus relating thereto or any amendments or supplements relating to such a registration statement or prospectus, to counsel selected by the Requisite Holders (the “Holder’s Counsel”), copies of all such documents proposed to be filed for such counsel’s review and comment (it being understood that such five (5) Business Day period need not apply to successive drafts of the same document proposed to be filed so long as such successive drafts are supplied to such counsel in advance of the proposed filing by a period of time that is customary and reasonable under the circumstances) and not file any such registration statement, prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which Holder’s Counsel reasonably objects;
(b)subject to the last paragraph of this Section 7.5, prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;
(c)notify in writing the Holder’s Counsel promptly (x) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to any comments by the Commission with respect to such registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or any request by the Commission for the amending or supplementing thereof or for additional information with respect thereto, (y) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or the initiation of any action threatening any proceeding for that purpose and (z) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of such Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any action threatening the qualification of such Warrant and/or Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction;
(d)furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned thereby;
-7-


(e)use reasonable best efforts to register and/or to qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as may be required for the Holder to sell securities under the registration statement or as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto (x) to qualify to do business in any such states or jurisdictions, (y) to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions or (z) to subject itself to taxation in any such states or jurisdictions;
(f)notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and, at the request of such Holder, prepare and furnish to such Holder a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or amendment of such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to any offeree of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;
(g)provide a transfer agent and registrar (which may be the same entity and which may be the Company) for such Registrable Securities;
(h)use reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and, if no such securities are so listed, use reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market; and
(i)subject to all of the other provisions of this Warrant, use reasonable best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.
The Company may suspend the use of a prospectus included in any registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 8 if the Company is then in possession of material, non-public information, the disclosure of which the Board has reasonably determined in good faith would have a Material Adverse Effect upon the Company. The Company shall promptly notify all Holders of Registrable Securities covered by such registration of any such determination by the Board and, upon receipt of such notice, each such Holder shall immediately discontinue any sales of securities pursuant to such registration statement. Upon such suspension, the Company shall take all reasonable steps to cause the condition that caused such suspension to cease to exist as soon as practicable (but such efforts need not include the abandonment of any proposed transaction). The Company hereby agrees that no such suspension shall last more than forty-five (45) days without the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders, provided that such right to suspension shall be exercised by the Company not more than twice in any twelve (12)-month period.
7.6    Obligations of the Holder. At least seven (7) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a registration statement registering Registrable Securities, the Company will notify the Holder of the information the Company reasonably requires from the Holder (including a selling stockholder questionnaire) which shall be completed and delivered to the Company promptly upon request and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable anticipated filing date. The Holder further agrees that it shall not be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in any registration statement, or use the prospectus contained in such registration statement, for offers and resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless such Holder has returned to the Company such
-8-


requested information (including the selling stockholder questionnaire). If a Holder of Registrable Securities returns such requested information (including the selling stockholder questionnaire) after the above deadline, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take such actions as are required to name such Holder as a selling security holder in the registration statement or any pre-effective or post-effective amendment thereto and to include (to the extent not theretofore included) in such registration statement the Registrable Securities identified in such requested information. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the information provided to the Company as described in this Section 7.6 will be used by the Company in the preparation of the registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 8 and hereby consents to the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement.
7.7    Indemnification.
(a)In connection with any registration, subject to Section 7.7(d) below, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Holder that is a selling holder of Registrable Securities and each of its Affiliates, each underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), and directors, officers, employees and agents of any of them, and each other Person who participates in the offering of such securities and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such seller, underwriter or participating Person (collectively, the “Holder Indemnified Person”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “liability”), joint or several, to which such Holder Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar as such liability (or action in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon (w) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any free writing prospectus used in connection with any offering, including but not limited to, any free writing prospectus used by the Company, the underwriters or the Holders, or (x) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (y) any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, any state securities or “blue sky” laws or any sale or regulation thereunder in connection with such registration, or (z) any information provided by the Company or at the instruction of the Company to any Person participating in the offer at the point of sale containing any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact or omitting or allegedly omitting any material fact required to be included in such information or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.7(c), the Company shall reimburse each such Holder Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such liability; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to any Holder Indemnified Person in any such case to the extent that any such liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, preliminary or final prospectus, or amendment or supplement thereto, free writing prospectus, or other information, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder Indemnified Person specifically for use therein; and provided further, however, that the Company shall not be required to indemnify any Holder Indemnified Person against any liability arising from any untrue or misleading statement or omission contained in any preliminary prospectus if such deficiency is corrected in the final prospectus or for any liability which arises out of the failure of any Holder Indemnified Person to deliver a prospectus as required by the Securities Act.
(b)In connection with any registration, subject to Section 7.7(d) below, a Holder selling any Registrable Securities included in such registration being effected shall indemnify and hold harmless each other selling holder of any Registrable Securities, the Company, its directors and officers, each underwriter and each other Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company or such underwriter (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Persons” and together with the “Holder Indemnified Persons,”
-9-


collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), against any liability, joint or several, to which any such Holder Indemnified Person may become subject under the Securities Act or any other statute or at common law, insofar as such liability (or actions in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon (x) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained, on the effective date thereof, in any registration statement under which securities were registered under the Securities Act at the request of such selling Holder, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any free writing prospectus used in connection with such offering, including but not limited to, any free writing prospectus used by the Company, the underwriters, or the Holders, or (y) any omission or alleged omission by such selling Holder to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (z) any information provided at the instruction of the Company to any Person participating in the offer at the point of sale containing any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact or omitting or allegedly omitting any material fact required to be included in such information or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and in the case of (x), (y) and (z) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such registration statement, preliminary or final prospectus, amendment or supplement thereto, free writing prospectus or other information, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such selling Holder specifically for use therein.

If the indemnification provided for in Section 21.1 above for any reason is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to a Holder Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses referred to therein, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying such Holder Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Holder Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Holder, or (ii) if the allocation provided by the preceding clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in the preceding clause (i) but also the relative fault of the Company and the Holder in connection with the action or inaction which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Holder shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Holder and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
20.4    Other. Each of the Company and the Holder agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to Section 21.2 were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The rights to indemnification provided to the Purchaser (and any other Person who becomes a Holder) and the other Holder Indemnified Parties in this Section 21 shall survive the termination, exchange, exercise or transfer of this Warrant (or Warrant Shares, as applicable). The Holder Indemnified Parties are express third-party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 21.
21.MISCELLANEOUS.
-20-


21.1    Successors and Assigns. All the provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Company or the Holder shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.
21.2    Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Warrant shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Warrant a provision as similar in terms to such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable, unless the requisite parties separately agree to a replacement provision that is valid, legal and enforceable.
21.3    Equitable Remedies. Without limiting the rights of the Company and the Holder to pursue all other legal rights available to such party (including equitable remedies) for the other parties’ failure to perform its obligations hereunder, the Company and the Holders each hereby acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any failure to perform any obligations hereunder (or any failure to observe the terms of this Warrant by any Stockholder) would be inadequate and that each shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies in the event of any such failure. The Company and the Holders therefore each agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, each shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
21.4    Continued Effect. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the rights and benefits conferred on the Holder pursuant Sections 7, 9, 14, 20 and 21 shall continue to inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Holder, notwithstanding its cancellation by the Company upon the full exercise hereof. The Holder shall be entitled to retain a copy of this Warrant as evidence of the continued effect of such provisions. The Company covenants and agrees not to become party to any contract, agreement or other arrangement which adversely impacts or affects any of the rights conferred to the Holder, or conflicts with the obligations imposed on the Company, hereby.
21.5    Governing Law. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE REQUIRED BY MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF LAW.
21.6    Consent to Jurisdiction. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANT SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY FEDERAL COURT OF THE U.S. SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN OR, IF THAT COURT DOES NOT HAVE SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION, IN ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF NEW YORK. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY (I) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS, (II) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, (III) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE PARTY, AND (IV) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (III) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT.
21.7    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANT THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR
-21-


ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS WARRANT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
21.8    Construction. The Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed in any way to affect the interpretation of any provisions of this Warrant. The titles and subtitles used in this Warrant are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Warrant. Terms defined in the singular have the corresponding meanings in the plural, and vice versa. Unless the context of this Warrant clearly requires otherwise, words importing the masculine gender include the feminine and neutral genders and vice versa. The terms “include,” “includes” or “including” mean “including without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “hereto,” “hereby,” “herein,” “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Warrant, refer to this Warrant as a whole and not to any particular Section or article in which such words appear. Except to the extent expressly provided herein, the Holder’s exercise of any rights under this Warrant, including with respect to the granting or withholding of any consent required hereunder, may be done at the sole discretion of the Holder.
21.9    Counterparts. This Warrant may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together, shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

AGREEMENT
The parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

At all times during any Effective Period, the Stockholder hereby agrees, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in any action by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, to cause all the Outstanding Voting Securities beneficially owned by the Stockholder, and to cause each Affiliate of the Stockholder to cause all the Outstanding Voting Securities they respectively beneficially own, to be voted (a) in favor of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company that would require the Board of Directors to include not fewer than three Independent Directors at all times, (b) in favor of the election or re-election of Independent Directors nominated for election by the Board of Directors or by the nominating committee of the Board of Directors unless the failure of a nominee to be elected or re-elected to the Board of Directors would not result in the Company having fewer than three Independent Directors following such election and (c) against any proposal or action that would result in the Board of Directors having fewer than three Independent Directors at all times.
2.Interested Transactions. Notwithstanding anything in the Company’s Organizational Documents to the contrary, at all times during any Effective Period, the Company shall not enter into any transaction between the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Stockholder or any of its Affiliates (excluding the Company and its Affiliates), on the other hand, unless it is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors then serving on the Board of Directors, and any such transaction not so approved shall be deemed void ab initio. The Stockholder shall not, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates not to, take any action to cause the Company to act in contravention of the preceding sentence.
3.Representations and Warranties; Agreements. The Stockholder represents and warrants as of the date hereof that (a) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Stockholder and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Company, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and (b) the Stockholder has not granted and is not a party to any proxy, voting trust or other agreement which is inconsistent with, conflicts with or violates any provision of this Agreement.

The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
7.Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement in such jurisdiction or affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any provision in any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
