The Borrower has filed all reports, forms or other information required to be
filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act (the foregoing
materials being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”), except
as otherwise disclosed in any SEC Reports. Except as otherwise disclosed
in any SEC Reports, as of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in
all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder,
and none of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial
statements of the Borrower included in the SEC Reports were prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent
basis during the periods involved, except as may be otherwise specified in such
financial statements or the notes thereto, and fairly present in all material
respects the financial position of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries as of and
for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the
periods then ended, subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal,
immaterial, year-end audit adjustments.

SURVIVAL
AND INDEMNIFICATION
8.1 Survival. The

execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
8.2 Indemnification. The
Borrower and each Subsidiary, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and
hold each Purchaser, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors,

Party”) harmless from and against all Losses incurred, suffered or
arising out of, or by reason of, any matter relating, directly or indirectly, to
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless such Losses are the result of
the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of such Purchaser Indemnified
Party. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify,
defend and hold the Borrower and each Subsidiary, their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns (each a “Borrower Indemnified
Party”) harmless against all Losses as a result of the breach of any of

- 14
-
8.3 Conduct of Indemnification
Proceedings. Promptly
after receipt by any Indemnified Party of notice of any demand, claim or
circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of
any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be
sought pursuant to Section 8.2, such
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Borrower or the applicable
Purchaser, as applicable (each an “Indemnifying Party”)
in writing and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof,
including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Party, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however,
that the failure of any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party
shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to
the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure
to notify. In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Party shall have
the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (a) the Indemnifying
Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of
such counsel; or (b) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified
Party representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The
Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding
effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for
the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such
Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated
above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, the Indemnifying Party shall not effect any settlement of
any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party
is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by
such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release
of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such
proceeding.

payment assigned hereunder.

Secured; Enforcement; Subordination.

of all such holders upon the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

Purchasers.
9.15 More Favorable
Terms. In the event the Company issues any Notes at any
Subsequent Closing upon any more favorable terms, including the inclusion of any
further equity incentives, than the terms of any Notes issued at any prior
Closing, any such more favorable terms shall apply to all Notes issued at any
prior Closing and the Company shall take such further actions that are required
to effect the provisions of this section.
9.16 Appointment of
Attorney-in-Fact. Upon execution of this Agreement, each of
the Purchasers shall have been deemed to appoint Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, as their agent
and attorney-in-fact (the “Representative”), with full power and authority
(including power of substitution), except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, in the name of and for and on behalf the Purchasers, or in such
person’s own name as the Representative of each of the Purchasers, to
execute any subordination and intercreditor agreements with SunTrust or any
other Senior Lender; provided any such agreement applies to all Purchasers to
the same effect without any distinction. The authority conferred
under this Section 9.16 shall be an agency coupled with an interest,
and all authority conferred hereby is irrevocable and not subject to termination
by the Purchasers or any of them, or by operation of law, whether by the death
or incapacity of any Purchasers, the termination of any trust or estate or the
occurrence of any other event. If Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx resigns, dies or is
otherwise unable to serve as the Representative, the successor Representative
shall be designated in writing by the Purchasers holding a majority of the Note
Indebtedness. If any individual Purchaser should die or become
incapacitated, if any trust or estate should terminate or if any other such
event should occur, any action taken by the Representative pursuant
to this Section 9.16 shall be as valid as if such death or incapacity,
termination or other event had not occurred, regardless of whether or not
the Representative shall have received notice of such death,
incapacity, termination or other event.
