United States Patent 5,620,654.

all accounts, contract rights, chattel paper, instruments and documents, whether
now owned or hereafter created or acquired by any of the Borrowers, or in which
any of the Borrowers now has or hereafter acquires any interest.

an advance of funds made by the Purchaser to or on behalf of the Borrowers

more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control
with, the specified Person; (ii) which beneficially owns or holds 5% or
more of any class of the Voting Stock of the specified Person; or (iii) 5%

shall also include a member of the Immediate Family of any Existing Stockholder

“Agreement” shall mean
this Agreement, together with the exhibits and the Disclosure Schedules hereto,
in each case as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time
to time.
“Annual Financial
Projections” shall have the meaning specified in Section 9.4.
“Applicable Laws”
shall mean all applicable provisions of all (i) constitutions, treaties,
statutes, laws, rules, regulations and ordinances of any Governmental Authority
and all common law duties, (ii) Consents of any Governmental Authority and (iii)
orders, decisions, rulings, judgments, directives or decrees of any Governmental
Authority.
“Assignee” shall have
the meaning specified in Section 14.5.
“Assignment” shall

et seq.), as amended from time to time, and any other federal or state law
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or for the relief of

2

loan guarantee program, split dollar, cafeteria plan, and other compensation
arrangements; in each case maintained or contributed to by any Borrower for the
benefit of their respective employees (or former employees) and/or their
beneficiaries. An arrangement will not fail to be a Benefit Plan
simply because it only covers one individual, or because any Borrower’s
obligations under such arrangement arise by reason of its being a “successor
employer” under Applicable Laws. Furthermore, a Voluntary Employees’

considered a Benefit Plan for this purpose.

substitutions or additions thereto, that have a useful life of more than
one (1) year or are required to be capitalized on the consolidated balance
sheet of the Borrowers in accordance with GAAP.
“Capital Lease” shall
mean any lease or agreement of any Borrower for the right to use property
(whether real, personal or mixed) which has been or is required to be

a Capital Lease.

foregoing), including any group acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding,
voting or disposing of securities within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the
Exchange Act, becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term is defined in Rule
13d-3 of the Exchange Act (provided, that a

or only after the passage of time)), directly or indirectly of 5% or more of

to the payment of the Sassoon Settlement Amount, Caprius ceases to own and
control, directly or indirectly, 96.66% of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock (or other equity interests) of M.C.M. or 100% of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock (or other equity interests) of any other
Subsidiary;
(f) Following
payment of the Sassoon Settlement Amount, Caprius ceases to own and control,
directly or indirectly, 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital
stock (or other equity interests) of any Subsidiary (other than as a result of a

2.6 Joint and Several Liability
of the Borrowers.
2.6.1
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Investment Document to
the contrary, each of the Borrowers hereby accepts joint and several liability
hereunder and under the other Investment Documents in consideration of the
financial accommodations to be provided by the Purchaser under this Agreement
and the other Investment Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and
indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of
the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the
Obligations. Each of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a
co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to
the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including, without
limitation, any Obligations arising under this Section 2.6), it
being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be
the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences
or distinction among them. If and to the extent that any of the
Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations
as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the
terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such
payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. Subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Obligations of each of the Borrowers under the
provisions of this Section 2.6
constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each of
the Borrowers, enforceable against each such Borrower to the full extent of its
properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of this Agreement, the other Investment Documents or any other
circumstances whatsoever.
2.6.2 The
provisions of this Section 2.6 are
made for the benefit of the Purchaser and its successors and assigns, and may be
enforced by them from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers as often
as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the
Purchaser or such successors or assigns first to marshal any of its or their
claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any of the other
Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any of the
other Borrowers or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment
of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The
provisions of this Section 2.6
shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full
or otherwise fully satisfied.
2.6.3
Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights
of contribution or subrogation against the other Borrowers with respect to any
liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Investment
Documents, any payments made by it to the Purchaser with respect to any of the
Obligations or any Collateral, until such time as all of the Obligations have
been paid in full in cash. Any claim which any Borrower may have
against any other Borrower with respect to any payments to the Purchaser
hereunder or under any other Investment Documents are hereby expressly made
subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any
increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior
payment in full in cash of the Obligations.
2.6.4 The
liability of each Borrower hereunder shall be irrevocable, absolute and
unconditional irrespective of, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any
defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the
following:
(a) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Investment Document or any agreement
or instrument relating thereto;
18
(b) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all
or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to
departure from any Investment Document, including, without limitation, any
increase in the Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to
any Borrower or otherwise;
(c) any
taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking,
release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other
guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations;
(d) the
existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower may
have at any time against any Person, including, without limitation, the
Purchaser;
(e) any
change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company
or partnership structure or existence of any Borrower; or
(f) any
other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations)
or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Purchaser that
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any
Borrower or any other guarantor or surety.
2.6.5
Each Borrower hereby waives (a) promptness and diligence, (b) notice
of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and
this Section 2.6 and
any requirement that the Purchaser exhaust any right or take any action against
any Borrower or any other Person or any Collateral, (c) any right to compel
or direct the Purchaser to seek payment or recovery of any amounts owed under
this Section 2.6 from
any one particular fund or source or to exhaust any right or take any action
against any other Borrower, any other Person or any Collateral, (d) any
requirement that the Purchaser protect, secure, perfect or insure any security
interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take
any action against any Borrower, any other Person or any Collateral, and
(e) any other defense available to any Borrower. Each Borrower
agrees that the Purchaser shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in
favor of any Guarantor or against, or in payment of, any or all of the
Obligations. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct
and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and
that the waiver set forth in this Section 2.6 is
knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. Each Borrower
hereby waives any right to revoke this Section 2.6, and
acknowledges that this Section 2.6 is
continuing in nature and applies to all Obligations, whether existing now or in
the future.
This
Section 2.6
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
returned by the Purchaser, or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had
not been made.
19
2.7 Administrative
Borrower. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Caprius as
the borrowing agent for all the Borrowers (the “Administrative
Borrower”), which appointment shall remain in full force and effect
unless and until the Purchaser shall have received prior written notice signed
by each Borrower that such appointment has been revoked and that another
Borrower has been appointed Administrative Borrower. Each Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower
(a) to provide the Purchaser with all Disbursement Requests and other
notices with respect to Advances obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and
(b) to take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on
its behalf to obtain Advances. It is understood that the handling of
the loan account of the Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth
herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize
the collective borrowing powers of the Borrowers in the most efficient and
economical manner and at their request, and that the Purchaser shall not incur
liability to any Borrower as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects
to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of its loan account
in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is
dependent upon the continued successful performance of the integrated
group. To induce the Purchaser to do so, and in consideration
thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the
Purchaser and to hold the Purchaser harmless against any and all liability,
cost, expense, loss or claim of damage or injury, made against the Purchaser by
any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason
of (a) the handling of the Borrowers’ loan account as herein provided or
(b) the Purchaser’s relying on any instructions of the Administrative
Borrower, except that the Borrowers will have no liability to the Purchaser
under this Section 2.7 with
respect to any liability to the extent that such liability has been caused by
the Purchaser’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES OF THE BORROWERS
In
connection with the following representations and warranties, the Borrowers have
delivered to the Purchaser disclosure schedules as attached hereto (the “Disclosure
Schedules”), arranged in numbered parts corresponding to the numbering in
this Agreement of the following representations and warranties. The
information disclosed in any numbered part shall be deemed to relate to and to
qualify the particular representation or warranty set forth in the corresponding
numbered section in this Agreement. Information disclosed that is
applicable to more than one numbered section shall be clearly cross-referenced,
provided that the information may be deemed to relate to another numbered
section, notwithstanding the absence of a cross-reference, if it is clear from
the nature of the information disclosed that another representation or warranty
should be modified by such disclosure. To induce the Purchaser to
purchase the Note under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and by the other Investment Documents, the Borrowers,
jointly and severally, represent and warrant to the Purchaser that, except as

Qualification. Each Borrower is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its

and all Operating Licenses, necessary to own or lease and operate its properties
and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be
conducted, is duly qualified or licensed to do business in each jurisdiction in
which the character of the properties or assets owned, leased or operated by
them or the nature of the activities conducted makes such qualification or
licensing necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or licensed
could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. Schedule 3.1
shows the jurisdiction of organization of each Borrower and the jurisdictions in
which it is qualified to do business.
20
3.2 Corporate or Other
Power. Each Borrower has the requisite power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform their respective obligations under this Agreement

security interests as set forth herein and in the applicable Collateral
Documents.
3.3 Authorization; Binding
Obligations. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and each of the other Investment Documents to which any Borrower is a
party, the issuance, sale, and delivery of the Note by the Borrowers as
contemplated hereunder, and the consummation of the other transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite
action on the part of the Borrowers, as applicable, and by the stockholders and
Boards of Directors of the Borrowers, as applicable. This Agreement
has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrowers and, at the Closing, each
of the other Investment Documents will be duly executed and delivered by the
Borrowers to the extent that any of them is a party thereto. This
Agreement is, and each other Investment Document will at the Closing be, a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrowers to the extent that any of
them is a party thereto, enforceable against the Borrowers in accordance with
its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’
rights generally or by equitable principles relating to
enforceability.
3.4 Subsidiaries. Except
as described in Schedule 3.4,
the Borrowers have no Subsidiaries and own or hold no securities of any other
Person. The Borrowers do not have any joint venture relationships or
hold any partnership interests.
3.5 Conflict with Other
Instruments; Existing Defaults.
3.5.1 The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and of each other
Investment Document to which any Borrower is a party, the issuance, sale, and
delivery by the Borrowers of the Note, and the consummation of the other
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and will not
(i) violate or conflict with (A) the Charter Documents of any
Borrower, in each case as in effect on the date hereof, (B) any term of any
lease, credit agreement, indenture, note, mortgage, instrument or other
agreement to which any Borrower is a party or by which any of its or their
properties or assets are bound (including, without limitation, any Material
Contract or Other Debt Document), or any agreement with respect to Intellectual
Property, which violation or conflict, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (C) any
Applicable Laws, or (ii) result in, or require, the creation or imposition
of any Lien upon or with respect to any of the assets or properties now owned or
hereafter acquired by any Borrower.
3.5.2
After giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby,
no Borrower is in default, breach or violation of (i) its Charter
Documents, as in effect as of the date hereof, (ii) any lease, credit
agreement, indenture, note, mortgage, instrument or other agreement to which it
is a party or by which any of its properties or assets are bound (including,
without limitation, any Material Contract or Other Debt Document or any
agreement with respect to Intellectual Property) or (iii) any Applicable
Laws, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect and the Borrowers will not be in breach of violation thereof both
before and after giving effect to the issuance of the Note and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Investment
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after
giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, there
does not exist any “default” or “event of default” (in each case as defined in
any Other Debt Document) or any default under any other credit or financing
agreement to which any Borrower is a party or by which any of their respective
properties or assets are bound.

(including shareholders or partners) in connection with the execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement or any other Investment Document, including,
without limitation, the issuance, sale, and delivery of the Note, or for the
purpose of maintaining in full force and effect any Operating
Licenses. Each of the Consents which have been obtained or made in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or any
other Investment Document is in full force and effect. The time
within which any administrative or judicial appeal, reconsideration, rehearing
or other review of any such Consent from any Governmental Authority may be taken

special concessions, or to pay for favorable treatment for business secured or
for special concessions already obtained. No Borrower has
participated in any illegal boycott or other similar illegal practices affecting
any of its actual or potential clients or customers.
3.28 Solvency. After

any Other Debt Document. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.31,
after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, no
Borrower is in default in (and no event has occurred and no condition exists
which constitutes, or which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or
both would constitute, a default in) the payment of any Indebtedness to any
Person.
3.32 Financial
Sophistication. Each of the Borrowers, by reason of its own
business and financial experience or that of its professional advisors, has such

Property. The Equipment and other personal property of the
Borrowers is in good operating condition and repair, and all necessary
replacements of and repairs thereto shall be made so that the operating
efficiency thereof shall be maintained and preserved, reasonable wear and tear
excepted, except where the failure to so maintain the same could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Borrower will
permit any Equipment or other personal property to become affixed to any Real
Property leased to any Borrower so that an interest arises therein under the
real estate laws of the applicable jurisdiction unless the landlord of such Real
Property has executed a landlord waiver or leasehold mortgage in favor of and in
form reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, and no Borrower will permit any of
the Equipment or other personal property to become an accession to any personal
Property other than Equipment or other personal property that is subject to

and merchantable quality, and (c) consists substantially of a quality,
quantity and condition useable, leasable or saleable in the ordinary course of
business. No Borrower is under any liability or obligation with

wholesalers, retailers or other customers in excess of established
reserves. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.34,
no Borrower holds any Inventory on consignment, or holds title to or ownership
of any Inventory in the possession of others.
37
3.35 Accounts. All
Accounts of the Borrowers represent amounts due for services performed or sales
actually made in the ordinary course of business and properly reflect the
amounts due. No counterclaims or offsetting claims with respect to
presently outstanding Accounts are pending or threatened and such Accounts are
fully collectible in their stated amount, net of applicable reserves for bad
debt. No part of the Accounts is contingent upon performance by the
Borrowers or any other party of any obligation, and no agreements for deductions
or discounts have been made with respect to any part of the
Accounts. No portion of the Accounts represents amounts due for goods
consigned by any Borrower and no agreements have been made allowing for the

Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated,
the Borrowers shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and save and hold
harmless the Purchaser and its respective Affiliates, and their respective
employees, partners, members, managers, principals, officers, directors,
representatives, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns (the “Indemnified
Parties”), from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, expenses and costs, including, without
limitation, attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses and other fees, costs and
expenses incurred in, and the costs of preparing for, investigating or defending
any matter (collectively, “Losses”), incurred by
or asserted or awarded against such Indemnified Party in connection with, by
reason of, or arising from:
(a) The
breach by any Borrower of any representation or warranty set forth in this
Agreement or any other Investment Document (or any other document or instrument
executed herewith or pursuant hereto);
(b) The
failure of any Borrower to fulfill any of its covenants, agreements or
undertakings under this Agreement or any other Investment Document (or any other
document or instrument executed herewith or pursuant hereto); or
(c) Any
third party actions, suits, proceedings or claims brought against any
Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of or with respect to
(A) any other matters arising out of or in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the Note or any other Investment Document or the
Collateral or (B) the business, operations or affairs of the Borrowers
(including, without limitation, any litigation in which any Borrower is
involved); provided, however, that no
Borrower shall have any liability to any Indemnified Party for any Loss to the
extent that such Loss has been caused by such Indemnified Party’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence.
45
8.2.2 The
Borrowers shall either pay directly all Losses which they are required to pay
hereunder or reimburse any Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after any
written request for such payment. The obligations of the Borrowers to
the Indemnified Parties under this Section 8 shall
be separate obligations to each Indemnified Party, and the liability of the
Borrowers to such Indemnified Parties hereunder shall not be extinguished solely
because any Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnity
hereunder.
8.2.3 The
obligations of the Borrowers to the Indemnified Parties under this Section 8 shall
survive (i) the repayment of the Note and any PIK Notes issued or deemed
issued thereunder (whether at maturity, by prepayment or acceleration or

therein and (iii) the termination of this Agreement or any other Investment
Document.
8.3 Indemnification
Procedures. Any Person entitled to indemnification under this
Section 8
shall (i) give prompt written notice to the Borrowers of any claim with respect
to which it is entitled to seek indemnification (provided that the failure to so
notify any Borrower shall not relieve any Borrower from any liability which it
may have under this Section 8 except
to the extent that the Borrower is materially prejudiced by such failure) and
(ii) permit the Borrowers (or any of them) to assume the defense of such
claim with counsel selected by the Borrowers and reasonably acceptable to the
applicable Indemnified Party; provided, however, that any
Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to
participate in the defense of such claim and the fees, costs and expenses of
such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless
(a) any Borrower has agreed to pay such fees, costs or expenses,
(b) the Borrowers have failed to notify the applicable Indemnified Party in
writing within ten (10) days of its receipt of such written notice claiming
a right to be indemnified that it will assume the defense of such claim and
employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the applicable Indemnified Party, or
(c) a conflict of interest exists between the applicable Indemnified Party,
on the one hand, and the Borrowers, on the other hand, with respect to such
claims (in which case, if the applicable Indemnified Party notifies the
Borrowers in writing that such Indemnified Party elects to employ separate
counsel at the expense of the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall not have the right
to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Indemnified
Party). The Borrowers will not be subject to any liability for any
settlement made without their respective consent (but such consent may not be
unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld). No Indemnified Party
may, without the consent of the applicable Borrowers (which consent will not be
unreasonably conditioned, delayed or withheld), consent to the entry of any
judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional
term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Borrowers of a
release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.
46
8.4 Contribution. If
the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
unavailable to the Purchaser or any other Indemnified Party in respect of any
Losses, then the Borrowers, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a
result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Borrowers on the one hand, and the applicable Indemnified
Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or
omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the Borrowers, on the one hand,
and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference
to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to
state a material fact, has been taken by, or relates to information supplied by,
any of the Borrowers or such Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
any such action, statement or omission. The parties agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8.4 were
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which
does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to
above.

refusal to provide such Permitted Third Party Refinancing on the same terms and
conditions as are offered to the Borrowers by a third Person (the “Right of First

Borrowers at any time or from time to time, with reasonably prompt subsequent
notice to the Borrowers (any prior or contemporaneous notice to the Borrowers

and all (a) balances held by the Purchaser at its offices for the account of any
Borrower (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Borrower),
and (b) other property at any time held or owing by the Purchaser or any
Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or for the account of any Borrower,
against and on account of any of the Obligations.
11.4 Other
Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing, the Purchaser may proceed to protect and enforce the Purchaser’s
rights and remedies under this Agreement and any other Investment Document by
exercising all rights and remedies available under this Agreement, any other

either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, whether for the
collection of principal of or interest on the Note (and any PIK Notes), to
enforce the specific performance of any covenant or other term contained in this
Agreement or any other Investment Document. No remedy conferred in
this Agreement upon the Purchaser is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy conferred herein or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
62
11.5 Appointment of
Receiver. In addition to all other rights, powers and remedies
that the Purchaser has under this Agreement, any other Investment Document or

creditors, including the Purchaser.
11.6 Waiver of Past
Defaults. The Purchaser may, by written notice to the
Borrowers, waive any specified Default or Event of Default and its consequences
with respect to this Agreement, the Note or any other Investment Document; provided, however, that no such
waiver will extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or
impair any rights of the Purchaser which may arise as a result of such other
Default or Event of Default.
12. WAIVER
The
Purchaser may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the
obligations or other acts of the Borrowers, (b) waive any inaccuracies in
the representations or warranties of the Borrowers or (c) waive compliance
with any of the conditions, covenants or agreements of the Borrowers contained
herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth
in an instrument signed by the Purchaser. Any waiver of the breach of
any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any other breach or
as a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or as a waiver of any
other term or condition of this Agreement, the Note, any PIK Note or any other
Investment Document. The failure by the Purchaser to assert, or any
delay by the Purchaser in asserting any of its rights under this Agreement, the
Note, any PIK Note, or any other Investment Document shall not constitute a
waiver of any such rights and no single or partial exercise of any such right
shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right.
13. POWER OF
ATTORNEY
The
Borrowers hereby irrevocably designate, make, constitute and appoint the
Purchaser (and all Persons designated by the Purchaser), effective upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default until such time as such Event of Default has
been waived by the Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion, as the true
and lawful attorney (and attorney-in-fact) of each Borrower to endorse the
applicable Borrower’s name on any checks, notes, acceptances, drafts, money
orders or any other evidence of payment or proceeds of the Collateral which come
into the possession of the Purchaser or under the Purchaser’s control, at such
time or times as the Purchaser is required to do so in order to preserve its
rights under any Collateral Document, but at the cost and expense of the
Borrowers. The power of attorney granted hereby shall constitute a
power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
63
14. MISCELLANEOUS
14.1 Survival of Representations
and Warranties; Purchaser Investigation. All representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements of the Borrowers (or any one of them)
contained herein, or made in writing by or on behalf of them pursuant hereto or
in connection herewith, shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the issuance and delivery of the Note, the repayment of the Note and
the due diligence or other investigation of the Borrowers and their Affiliates
made by and on behalf of the Purchaser for a period of one (1) year after
indefeasible payment in full of the Note and the PIK Notes. The
Borrowers hereby agree that neither the Purchaser’s review of the books and
records or condition (financial or otherwise), business, assets, properties,
operations or prospects of any Person, nor any other due diligence investigation
conducted by or on behalf of the Purchaser, shall be deemed to modify the
representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in this Agreement or
any other Investment Document or to constitute knowledge by the Purchaser of the
existence or absence of any facts or any other matters so as so reduce the
Purchaser’s right to rely on the accuracy of the representations and warranties
of the Borrowers contained in this Agreement or any other Investment
Document.
14.2 Consent to
Amendments. No amendment, supplement or other modification to
this Agreement or any other Investment Document shall be effective unless in
writing and signed by Holders holding in the aggregate 70% of the then
outstanding principal amount of the Note (the “Requisite Holders”),
and the Borrowers may not take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform
any act herein required to be performed by them, unless the Borrowers shall have
obtained the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders to such action or
omission. No course of dealing between the Borrowers, on the one
hand, and the Purchaser (or any successor or assignee thereof), on the other
hand, nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under the Note, the
PIK Notes or any other Investment Document shall operate as a waiver of any
rights of the Purchaser (or any other Holder). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no amendment, supplement or modification shall be binding on any
Holder without that Holder’s express written consent if such amendment,
supplement or modification would (a) change the principal due or amount of
interest payable on the Note whether as a result of prepayment or at maturity;
(b) extend the time for payment of any Obligation; (c) release any
Borrower from any Obligations; (d) amend the provisions of this Section 14.2; or
(e) amend the terms of any defined term in Section 1 that
would have the effect of implementing an amendment otherwise prohibited by
clauses (a) through (d) hereof.
14.3 Entire
Agreement. This Agreement, together with the exhibits and the
Disclosure Schedules which are all incorporated herein by this reference and are
an integral part of this Agreement, the Note, any PIK Note, and the other
Investment Documents constitute the full and entire agreement and understanding
between and among the Purchaser and the Borrowers relating to the subject matter
hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior oral and written, and all
contemporaneous oral agreements and understandings relating to the subject
matter hereof. If any words have been added or deleted in this
Agreement or any related document as compared to any prior draft thereof, this
Agreement and the related documents shall be construed without reference to such
prior drafts and no implication shall be made regarding any such additions or
deletions.
64
14.4 Severability. Any
provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provisions
in any other jurisdiction.
14.5 Successors and Assigns;
Assignments. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and
be binding upon, the parties and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. No Borrower shall assign any of its rights and obligations
hereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior written consent of
the Requisite Holders. The Purchaser may, at any time and from time
to time without the consent of any Borrower, assign, transfer or delegate to one
or more Persons (each an “Assignee”) all or any
part of its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement and the other
Investment Documents, including, without limitation, all or any part of the
Obligations, subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities
laws; provided,
however, that,
in any privately negotiated transaction involving a sale or assignment of any
such right, title or interest, the transferor shall obtain from the Assignee in
writing investment intent representations which would be customarily obtained in
transactions of such nature; and provided further, that the
Borrowers or the Purchaser, as applicable, shall continue to deal solely and
directly with the transferor in connection with any right, title or interest so
assigned until written notice of such assignment, together with payment
instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee,
shall have been given to the Borrowers and the Purchaser.
14.6 Certain Agreements of the
Borrowers. Each Borrower agrees that (a) it will use
reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Purchaser in any manner reasonably
requested by the Purchaser to effect the sale of participation in or assignments
of any of the Investment Documents or any portion thereof or interest therein,
including, without limitation, assisting in the preparation of appropriate
disclosure documents and making members of management available at reasonable
times to meet with and answer questions of potential assignees and participants,
and (b) the Purchaser may disclose credit information regarding any
Borrower to any potential participant or assignee, provided that such potential
participant or assignee agrees to keep such information
confidential.
14.7 Notices. All
notices, requests, demands and other communications which are required or may be
given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given at the earliest of (a) the date received, (b) one (1) Business Day
