2.3Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.
(a)Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan shall accrue interest at a fixed per annum rate (which rate shall be fixed for the duration of such Term Loan) equal to nine percent (9.00%) per annum, which interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears in accordance with Section 2.3(c). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and without notice to Borrower or demand by Lender for payment thereof), the Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is three percentage points (3.00%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”), and such interest shall be payable entirely in cash on demand of Lender; provided, that, absent payment of such interest at the Default Rate when due, such Default Rate interest shall be capitalized on the last day of each fiscal month and such capitalized amount shall be added to the then-outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan and constitute outstanding principal for all purposes hereof. Payment, capitalization or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Lender.
(c)Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all loan payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to such bank account of Lender as Lender may designate by notice from time to time to Borrower on the date specified herein. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable quarterly on the Payment Date of each calendar quarter. Payments of principal or interest received after 2:00 p.m. on such date are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest, as
3
applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid. All payments to be made by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including payments of principal and interest made hereunder and pursuant to any other Loan Document, and all fees, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds.
2.4Expenses. Borrower shall pay to Lender, all Lender Expenses incurred through and after the Effective Date, upon demand.
2.5Requirements of Law; Increased Costs. In the event that any applicable Change in Law:
(a)Does or shall subject Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or the Term Loan made hereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of principal, fee, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except, in each case, (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes);
(b)Does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital requirement, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, Lender; or
(c)Does or shall impose on Lender any other condition; and the result, directly or indirectly, of any of the foregoing is (i) to increase the cost to Lender (as determined by Lender in good faith using calculation methods customary in the industry) of making, funding or maintaining the Term Loan, (ii) to reduce any amount received or receivable in respect thereof by Lender or the return to be earned by Lender thereon, or (iii) to reduce the rate of return on any capital of Lender or any Affiliate of Lender that Lender or such Affiliate is required to maintain on account of the Term Loan;
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon its receipt of the certificate described below, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amounts receivable or rate of return as reasonably determined by Lender with respect to this Agreement or the Term Loan made hereunder. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.5, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled, and a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence containing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The provisions hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the outstanding Term Loan and all other Obligations. Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital under this Section 2.5 shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that Borrower shall not be under any obligation to compensate Lender under this Section 2.5 with respect to increased costs or reductions with respect to any period prior to the date that is 120 days prior to the date of the delivery of the notice required pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph; provided
4
further, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to any increased costs or reductions arising out of the retroactive application of any Change in Law within such 120-day period.
(d)If any Lender shall request compensation under this Section 2.5 or Section 2.6, then such Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to file any certificate or document reasonably requested in writing by Borrower or (ii) to assign its rights and delegate and transfer its obligations hereunder to an Affiliate, in the case of clause (i) or (ii) above, if such filing or assignment would subsequently reduce its claims for compensation under this Section 2.5 or amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.6, as the case may be. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such filing, assignment, delegation or transfer.
2.6Taxes; Withholding, etc.
(a)All sums payable by any Credit Party hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall (except to the extent required by law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by or within the United States of America or any political subdivision in or of the United States of America or any other jurisdiction from or to which a payment is made by or on behalf of any Credit Party or by any federation or organization of which the United States of America or any such jurisdiction is a member at the time of payment. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay, and shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from, Other Taxes, and within thirty (30) days after the date of paying such sum, Borrower shall furnish to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
(b)If any Credit Party or any other Person is required by law to make any deduction or withholding on account of any Tax from any sum paid or payable by any Credit Party to Lender under any of the Loan Documents: (i) Borrower shall notify Lender of any such requirement or any change in any such requirement as soon as any Borrower becomes aware of it; (ii) Borrower shall pay any such Tax before the date on which penalties attach thereto, such payment to be made (if the liability to pay is imposed on any Credit Party) for its own account or (if that liability is imposed on Lender, as the case may be) on behalf of and in the name of Lender; (iii) if the Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by such Credit Party in respect of which the relevant deduction, withholding or payment is required shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of that deduction, withholding or payment (including any deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.6(b)), Lender receives on the due date a net sum equal to what it would have received had no such deduction, withholding or payment been required or made; and (iv) within thirty (30) days after paying any sum from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days after the due date of payment of any Tax which it is required by clause (ii) above to pay, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender of such deduction, withholding or payment and of the remittance thereof to the relevant taxing or other Governmental Authority. Borrower shall indemnify Lender for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.6(b)) paid by Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest, and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
5
Authority. Any indemnification payment pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be made within thirty (30) days from written demand therefor.
(c)If any party hereto determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.6 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.6), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.6 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (c) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay, credit or offset such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (c), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (c) if the payment of such amount would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This clause (c) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(d)If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, Lender shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender.
2.8Evidence of Debt; Register; Lender’s Books and Records; Term Loan Note.
(a)Lender’s Evidence of Debt. Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of each Borrower to Lender, including the amounts of the Term Loan made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Borrower’s Obligations in respect of the Term Loan; provided further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern, absent manifest error.

4.CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST
4.1Grant of Security Interest. Without limiting any other security interest granted to the Secured Parties, pursuant to any Collateral Document, each of the Borrower and each Credit Party that is a Material Subsidiary hereby grants Lender to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Lender, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof.
10
4.2Priority of Security Interest.
(a)Each Credit Party represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral other than Collateral which would require to be secured pursuant to the Security Interests (Jersey) Law 2012 (as amended) in order to create a first priority perfected security interest in such Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted by the terms of this Agreement to have superior priority to the Lien in favor of Lender, if any). Each Credit Party represents, warrants, and covenants that, at the Funding Date, the security interests granted pursuant to the Jersey Security Interest Agreement will be and shall at all times continue to be first priority perfected security interests in the Collateral as defined therein and that, at the Funding Date, such Collateral (as defined in the Jersey Security Interest Agreement) will be the only Collateral which would require to be secured pursuant to the Security Interests (Jersey) Law 2012 (as amended) in order to create a first priority perfected security interest in such Collateral. If a Credit Party shall acquire a commercial tort claim with a value (as calculated by a Responsible Officer of Borrower in good faith, acting prudently based on reasonable assumptions) greater than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), such Credit Party shall promptly notify Lender in a writing signed by such Credit Party of the general details thereof and grant to Lender in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(b)If this Agreement is terminated, Lender’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and at such time as Lender’s obligations to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Lender shall, at the Credit Parties’ sole cost and expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to the appropriate Credit Parties. At the request of any Credit Party following any such termination of Lender’s obligations to make Credit Extensions, Lender shall deliver to such Credit Party any Collateral of such Credit Party held by Lender hereunder and execute and deliver to such Credit Party such documents as such Credit Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such delivery of Collateral or the preparation, execution and delivery of any such documentation.
4.3Authorization to File Financing Statements. The Credit Parties hereby authorize Lender to file financing statements, with notice to the Credit Parties, with all jurisdictions which Lender determines appropriate to perfect or protect its interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either the Credit Parties or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Lender under the Code, except dispositions permitted hereunder. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail.

5.7Financial Statements; Financial Condition; Books and Records.
(a)All consolidated financial statements of Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries furnished by or on behalf of Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries to Lender in connection herewith prior to the Funding Date were prepared in conformity with Applicable Accounting Standards (other than any pro forma statements and projections provided to Lender which include adjustments from the Applicable Accounting Standards, such adjusted pro forma statements and projections being calculated by a Responsible Officer of Borrower in good faith, acting prudently based upon reasonable assumptions and in all respect in accordance with Applicable Accounting Standards (except with respect to such adjustments) and being presented to the audit committee of the Board of Directors of Borrower, and are in the same format as presented to the audit committee of the Board of Directors of Borrower) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of Borrower and such Subsidiaries and their consolidated results of operations. Since the date of the most recent financial statements delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 3.1(q), there has not been any material deterioration in the consolidated financial condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries in existence immediately prior to the Funding Date. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries in existence immediately prior to the Funding Date has any contingent liability or liability for Taxes, long term lease (other than long-term leases entered into in the ordinary course of business) or unusual forward or long term commitment (other than as set forth in the Settlement Agreement) that is not reflected in the consolidated financial statements or the notes thereto delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 3.1(q) and which in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, management, performance, properties, assets, liabilities (actual or contingent) or financial condition of Borrower and such Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Since the date of the most recent audited financial statements delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 3.1(q), no change in the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in existence immediately prior to the Funding Date has occurred, and no event has occurred or failed to occur, that has had or could reasonably be expected to have,
17
either alone or in conjunction with all other such changes, events and failures, a Material Adverse Change;
(b)All statements and certificates of Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries required to be delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 6.2(a) will be prepared in conformity with Applicable Accounting Standards (other than any pro forma statements and projections provided to Lender which include adjustments from the Applicable Accounting Standards, such adjusted pro forma statements and projections being in the same format as provided to the audit committee of the Board of Directors) and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their consolidated results of operations. Since the date of the most recent financial statements delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 6.2(a), there has not been any material deterioration in the consolidated financial condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has any contingent liability or liability for Taxes, long term lease (other than long-term leases entered into in the ordinary course of business) or unusual forward or long term commitment (other than as set forth in the Settlement Agreement) that is not reflected in the consolidated financial statements or the notes thereto delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 6.2(a) and which in any such case is material in relation to the business, operations, properties, assets, or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(a)The fair value of Borrower, and of the Credit Parties on a consolidated basis, exceeds the fair value of its or their liabilities; no Credit Party is left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement, and each Credit Party is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, there has been no proposal made or resolution adopted by any competent corporate body for the dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of any Credit Party, nor do any circumstances exist which may result in the dissolution, winding-up or liquidation of any Credit Party. No proposal has been made nor any resolution been adopted by any competent corporate body of any Credit Party for the statutory merger of such Credit Party with any other Person other than as set forth on Schedule 5.8 (including for any merger permitted by Section 7.3). None of the Credit Parties has (i) made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) filed any voluntary petition in bankruptcy or suffered the filing of an involuntary petition by any creditor, (iii) suffered the appointment of a receiver or the Viscount of the Royal Court of Jersey take possession of all or any portion of its assets, (iv) suffered the attachment or judicial seizure of all or any portion of its assets, (v) admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they come due, nor (vi) made an offer of settlement, extension or composition to its creditors generally; and
(b)Borrower has, and the Credit Parties on a consolidated basis have, sufficient liquidity to continue current operations for the next twelve (12) months, giving effect
18
to the Term Loan but without the need to liquidate any of its assets or businesses or curtail its operational activities in any material way;
5.9Payment of Taxes. All foreign, U.S. federal, material state, material provincial and other material Tax returns and reports (or extensions thereof) of each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries required to be filed by any of them have been timely filed, and all material Taxes which are due and payable by any Credit Party and its Subsidiaries and all material assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon any Credit Party and its Subsidiaries and upon their respective properties, assets, income, businesses and franchises have been timely paid except where the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings; provided, that (i) the applicable Credit Party has set aside on its books adequate reserves therefor in conformity with Applicable Accounting Standards and (ii) the failure to pay such Taxes, individually or in the aggregate, has not resulted or could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. No Credit Party has knowledge of any proposed Tax deficiency or assessment against it or any of its Subsidiaries which is not being actively contested by it or such Subsidiary in good faith and by appropriate proceedings; provided, that such reserves or other appropriate provisions, if any, as shall be required in conformity with Applicable Accounting Standards shall have been made or provided therefor. Neither any Credit Party nor any of its Subsidiaries have executed or filed with the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority any agreement or other document extending, or having the effect of extending, the period for assessment or collection of any Taxes nor has there been any request in writing for such extension. Neither any Credit Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has agreed, or has been requested, to make any adjustment under IRC Section 481(a) by reason of a change in accounting method or otherwise other than automatic adjustments relating to Section 263A and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Neither any Credit Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligation under any written Tax sharing agreement. No Credit Party nor any Subsidiary has been a member of an affiliated group filing a consolidated U.S. federal income Tax return within the meaning of the IRC and has no liability for Taxes of any other Person under IRC Section 1.1502-6 (or similar provision of foreign, state, or local law) as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise. No Credit Party nor any Subsidiary has distributed stock of another Person, nor has had its stock distributed by another Person, in a transaction that was purported or intended to be governed in whole or in part by IRC Sections 355 or 361 during any year for which the statute of limitations does not bar the assessment of U.S. federal income Tax;
5.10Environmental Matters. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Facilities or operations is subject to any outstanding written order, consent decree or settlement agreement with any Person relating to any Environmental Law, any Environmental Claim, or any Hazardous Materials Activity that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any letter or request for information under Section 104 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. § 9604) or any comparable state or foreign law. There are and, to each Credit Party’s knowledge, have been, no conditions, occurrences, or Hazardous Materials Activities which could reasonably be expected to form the basis of an Environmental Claim against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. To any Credit Party’s knowledge, no predecessor of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has filed any notice under any Environmental Law indicating past or present
19
treatment of Hazardous Materials at any Facility, and neither Borrower’s nor any of its Subsidiaries’ operations involves the generation, transportation, treatment, storage or disposal of hazardous waste, as defined under 40 C.F.R. Parts 260-270 or any state or foreign equivalent. Compliance by Borrower and its Subsidiaries with all current or reasonably foreseeable future requirements pursuant to or under Environmental Laws has not resulted or could not be reasonably expected to result in, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Change. No event or condition has occurred or is occurring with respect to any Credit Party relating to any Environmental Law, any Release of Hazardous Materials, or any Hazardous Materials Activity which, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Change;
5.11Material Contracts. Schedule 5.11 contains a true, correct and complete list of all the Material Contracts in effect on the Funding Date. After giving effect to consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as described on Schedule 5.11, each such Material Contract is a valid and binding obligation of the applicable Credit Party or its Subsidiaries and, to each Credit Party’s knowledge, each other party thereto, and is in full force and effect, and neither the applicable Credit Party or Subsidiary nor, to each Credit Party’s knowledge, any other party thereto, is in breach thereof or default thereunder. No Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice from any party thereto, oral or written, regarding the cancellation, termination or invalidation of any such Material Contract;
5.12Regulatory Compliance. No Credit Party is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Credit Party is engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board). Each Credit Party has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Each of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the IRC and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, except where such failure to comply has not resulted or could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the property of all such underfunded Plans by an amount that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of Borrower or its Subsidiaries or their respective ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change;
5.13Margin Stock. No Credit Party is engaged, nor will it engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to
20
herein as “Margin Stock”). None of the proceeds of the Credit Extensions or other extensions of credit under this Agreement will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any of the Term Loan or other extensions of credit under this Agreement to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. No part of the proceeds of the Term Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, for any purpose that entails a violation of, or that is inconsistent with, any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board;
5.14Subsidiaries; Investments; Affiliate Transactions. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries owns any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments. Set forth on Schedule 5.14 hereto is a true, correct and complete list of all material transactions with any Affiliate of any Credit Party or any holder of ten percent (10%) or more of the Equity Interests of any Credit Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any Affiliate of any such Person, in each case, that is not itself a Credit Party, that would not otherwise be permitted under Section 7.11;
5.15Employee Matters. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged in any unfair labor practice that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. There is (a) no unfair labor practice complaint pending against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened against any of them before the National Labor Relations Board and no grievance or arbitration proceeding arising out of or under any collective bargaining agreement that is so pending against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to the knowledge of any Credit Party, threatened against any of them, (b) no strike or work stoppage in existence or threatened involving Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and (c) to the knowledge of any Credit Party, no union representation question existing with respect to the employees of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and, to the knowledge of any Credit Party, no union organization activity that is taking place, except (with respect to any matter specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) above, either individually or in the aggregate) such as is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Change;
5.16Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Credit Extensions to fund its working capital requirements and general corporate purposes, including Permitted Acquisitions, and not for any other purposes, including personal, family, household or agricultural purposes;
5.17Full Disclosure. No representation or warranty of any Credit Party contained in any Loan Document or in any other documents, certificates or written statements furnished to Lender by or on behalf of any Credit Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (to the knowledge of any Credit Party, solely in the case of any document not furnished by it) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in any documents, certificates or written statements furnished to Lender by or on behalf of any Credit Party for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Credit Party
21
furnishing such documents, certificates or statements to be reasonable at the time made. There are no facts known (or which should upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to any Credit Party (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, have resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change and that have not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to Lender for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby;
5.18Patriot Act. To the extent applicable, Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance, in all material respects, with the (i) Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (the Patriot Act). No part of the proceeds of the Credit Extensions will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977;
5.19Accounts Receivable. The accounts receivable for Included Products owing to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries have been calculated and recorded by a Responsible Officer of Borrower or such Subsidiary in good faith, acting prudently based upon reasonable assumptions and in all respects in accordance with Applicable Accounting Standards (other than any pro forma statements which include adjustments from Applicable Accounting Standards, such adjusted pro forma statements being calculated by a Responsible Officer of Borrower or such Subsidiary in good faith, acting prudently based upon reasonable assumptions and in all respects in accordance with Applicable Accounting Standards (except with respect to such adjustments)), have been presented to the audit committee of the Board of Directors of Borrower, and have a likelihood of collection based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by such Responsible Officer to be reasonable at the time;

9.RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT
9.1Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues, Lender may, without notice or demand:
(a)declare all Obligations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any applicable Prepayment Premium) immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations, including any applicable Prepayment Premium, are automatically and immediately due and payable without any action by Lender), whereupon all Obligations for principal, interest, premium or otherwise (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any applicable Prepayment Premium) shall become due and payable by Borrower without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, which are all expressly waived by the Credit Parties hereby;
(b)stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement;
(c)settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Lender considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Lender’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;
(d)make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Lender requests and make it available as Lender designates. Lender may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Lender a license to enter and occupy any of their premises, without charge, to exercise any of Lender’s rights or remedies;
(e)apply to the Obligations (i) any balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Lender owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;
(f)ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Lender is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade names, Trademarks, Know-How and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Lender’s benefit;
(g)place a “hold” on any account maintained with Lender or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;
(h)demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and
42
(i)exercise all rights and remedies available to Lender under the Collateral Documents or any other Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).
Lender agrees that in connection with any foreclosure or other exercise of rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document with respect to the Intellectual Property, the rights of the licensees under the Permitted Licenses will not be terminated, limited or otherwise adversely affected so long as no default exists under the Permitted License in a way that would permit the licensor to terminate such Permitted License (commonly termed a non-disturbance).
9.2Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Lender determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third Person as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact to file or record any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been satisfied in full and Lender is not under any further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Lender’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Lender’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been fully repaid and performed and Lender’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.
9.3Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Lender are Lender Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Lender will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Lender obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Lender are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default.
9.4Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency. If Lender directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Lender shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of
43
either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Lender of cash therefor.
9.5Lender’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Lender complies with Requirements of Law regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Lender, Lender shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; or (c) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. In no event shall Lender have any liability for any diminution in the value of the Collateral for any reason. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.
9.6No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Lender has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Lender from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Lender’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

11.CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER
New York law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Credit Parties and Lender each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State
45
of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by Requirements of Law, in such Federal court; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Lender from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Lender. Each Credit Party expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Credit Party hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each Credit Party hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such Credit Party at the address set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of such Credit Party’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CREDIT PARTIES AND LENDER EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR ALL PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.
12.1Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. No Credit Party may transfer, pledge or assign this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any rights or obligations under hereunder or thereunder without Lender’s prior written consent. Lender may, with the prior written consent of Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, negotiate, or grant participation in (any such sale, transfer, assignment, negotiation, or grant of a participation, a “Lender Transfer”) all or any part of, or any interest in, Lender’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any Person; provided, however, that such consent of Borrower shall not be required while any Event of Default described in Section 8.1 or Section 8.5 occurs and continues; provided, further, that Lender shall at all times hold no less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan. Lender shall provide Borrower notice of a Lender Transfer no later than the date on which such Lender Transfer occurs.
In the event of a transfer, assignment, novation or amendment of the rights and/or the obligations under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, all security interests, guarantees and privileges created under or in connection with the Loan Documents shall automatically and without any formality be preserved for the benefit of any pledgee/security
46
taker under the Loan Documents, the new Lender and the other finance party for the purpose of the provisions of articles 1278 to 1281 of the Luxembourg Civil Code or any other purposes.
12.2Indemnification; Costs and Expenses.
(a)Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender and each manager, partner, director, officer, employee, agent, attorney and affiliate thereof (each such person, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, that (i) no Credit Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnified Person hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities (x) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of that Indemnified Person, in each case, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities resulted solely from disputes between or among Indemnified Persons, and (ii) no Credit Party shall be liable for any settlement of any claim or proceeding effected by any Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of such Credit Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with such consent or if there shall be a final judgment against an Indemnified Person, each of the Credit Parties shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment in the manner set forth in this Agreement.
(b)To the extent permitted by Requirements of Law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against Lender and its Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Credit Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
(c)Any action taken by any Credit Party under or with respect to any Loan Document, even if required under any Loan Document or at the request of Lender, shall be at the expense of such Credit Party, and no Secured Party shall be required under any Loan Document to reimburse any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party therefor except as expressly provided therein. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse upon demand (i) Lender for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, in connection with the investigation, development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, interpretation or administration of, any modification of any term of or termination of, any Loan Document, any commitment or proposal letter therefor, any other document prepared in connection therewith or the consummation and administration of any transaction contemplated therein, (ii) Lender for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents in connection with internal audit reviews and Collateral, and (iii) Lender and its directors, employees, attorneys, agents and sub-agents, for
47
all costs and expenses incurred in connection with (A) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out”, (B) the enforcement or preservation of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, any Obligation, with respect to the Collateral or any other related right or remedy, or (C) the commencement, defense, conduct of, intervention in, or the taking of any other action with respect to, any proceeding (including any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) related to any Credit Party, any Subsidiary of any Credit Party, Loan Document or Obligation (or the response to and preparation for any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto), including Lender Expenses.
12.3Severability of Provisions. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Loan 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.
12.4Correction of Loan Documents. Lender may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties hereto so long as Lender provides Credit Parties with written notice of such correction and allows Credit Parties at least ten (10) days to object to such correction. In the event of such objection, such correction shall not be made except by an amendment signed by Lender and Credit Parties.
12.5Amendments in Writing; Integration.
(a)No amendment, restatement, supplement, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, or any consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and Lender.
(b)This Agreement and the Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents merge into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
12.6Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.
12.7Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been paid in full and satisfied. The obligation of Credit Parties in Section 12.2 to indemnify Lender shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.
12.8Confidentiality. Any information regarding Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries and their businesses provided to Lender by or on behalf of any Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed “Confidential Information”; provided, however, that Confidential
48
Information does not include information that is either: (a) in the public domain or in Lender’s or any of its Affiliates’ possession when disclosed to Lender or any of its Affiliates, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Lender or any of its Affiliates other than as a result of a breach by Lender or any of its Affiliates of the obligations under this Section 12.8; or (b) disclosed to Lender or any of its Affiliates by a third Person if Lender or any of its Affiliates do not know that the third Person is prohibited from disclosing the information. Lender shall not disclose any Confidential Information to a third Person or use Confidential Information for any purpose other than the exercise of Lender’s rights and the performance of Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents. The foregoing in this Section 12.8 notwithstanding, Lender may disclose Confidential Information: (i) to any of Lender’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (ii) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions; (iii) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (iv) to the extent requested by regulators having jurisdiction over Lender or as otherwise required in connection with Lender’s examination or audit; (v) as Lender considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (vi) to third-Person service providers of Lender; provided, however, that the third Persons to which Confidential Information is disclosed pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (vi) are bound by obligations of confidentiality and non-use that are no less restrictive than those contained herein. Lender may use such confidential information for the development of databases, reporting purposes, and market analysis so long as such confidential information is aggregated and anonymized prior to distribution unless otherwise expressly permitted by Credit Parties.
The provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
12.9Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses. In any action or proceeding between any Credit Party and Lender arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.
12.10Right of Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Requirements of Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Credit Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto or with any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (b) the principal of or the interest on the Term Loan or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section 2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured.
12.11Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Lender shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of
49
any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Lender, or Lender enforces any Liens or exercises its rights 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 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.
12.12Electronic Execution of Documents. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any Requirements of Law, including any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

50
their respective affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to such Credit Party, its Subsidiaries or their respective affiliates except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, and (d) each Credit Party, its Subsidiaries and their respective affiliates have consulted their own legal and financial advisors to the extent each deemed appropriate. Each Credit Party further acknowledges and agrees that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.

12.17Payoff of Existing Credit Facility. The parties hereto hereby agree that a portion of the proceeds of the Term Loan shall be used to refinance the Existing Credit Facility on the Funding Date. The parties hereto further agree that if the Funding Date shall occur after the Effective Date of this Agreement, then (i) the existence of the Existing Credit Facility, any documents executed or delivered in connection therewith and any security interests or liens granted thereunder shall be deemed to not cause any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other term of this agreement or any other Loan Document as of the Effective Date or at any time on or prior to the Funding Date and (ii) any Lien outstanding in connection with the Existing Credit Facility shall be deemed to be a Permitted Lien at all times on and prior to the Funding Date.
