ANNEX A – STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Standard Terms and Conditions are incorporated in and form a part of the Loan and Security Agreement between the Borrower identified in the Term Sheet and WFC Fund, LLC, as Lender.

Article 1

BORROWING AND LENDING

1.1 Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, from time to time prior to the Termination Date, upon Borrower’s request, Lender may, in its sole discretion, make revolving loans and advances (the “Revolving Loans”) to Borrower so long as after giving effect to any requested Revolving Loan, (a) the Total Revolving Outstandings do not exceed the lesser of the Borrowing Base and the Revolving Loan Limit and (b) all Sublimit requirements are met. Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Agreement borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, in all cases subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Agreement and of any document executed in connection with or governing this Agreement.

1.2 Interest Payments; Payment upon Termination. Accrued and unpaid interest on the Revolving Loans shall be due and payable on the Payment Day of each calendar month and on the Maturity Date. Borrower shall repay the principal balance of all outstanding Revolving Loans on the Termination Date.

1.3 Overadvances. If at any time Availability is less than $0.00, or any portion of the Total Revolving Outstandings exceeds any applicable Sublimit (an “Overadvance”), Borrower shall immediately, and without the necessity of demand by Lender, pay to Lender such amount as may be necessary to eliminate such Overadvance, and Lender shall apply such payment to the Total Revolver Outstandings so as to eliminate such Overadvance. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts for the amount of any Overadvance though Lender’s failure to debit Borrower’s deposit account will not relieve Borrower of its obligation to repay any Overadvance in a timely fashion.

1.4 Procedures for Revolving Loan Borrowing. Borrower may request Revolving Loans on any Business Day from the date that the conditions set forth in Article 3 are satisfied until the Termination Date by submitting a proper loan request through the Platform on or before 12:00 p.m. (New York time) two Business Days prior to the date of the requested Revolving Loan. Lender shall review the loan request and accounts submitted to the Platform by 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day after submission by Borrower and, subject to the terms of this Agreement, such accounts will be included in the Borrowing Base by 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on the next Business Day. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to disburse the proceeds of each Revolving Loan requested by Borrower by depositing the proceeds in Borrower’s bank account as designated by Borrower on the Platform.

1.5 Additional Advances by Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, to advance to Borrower, and to pay and charge to Borrower’s Loan Account, all sums necessary (a) to pay any interest accrued on the Obligations when due, (b) to pay all fees, costs and expenses and other Obligations owed by Borrower when due, and (c) to protect Lender’s interest in Collateral or to perform any of Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement. Any amount which is advanced, paid or charged under this Section 1.5 will constitute Revolving Loans (notwithstanding the failure of Borrower to satisfy any of the conditions precedent in Article 3) and Obligations and will bear interest at the Interest Rate or the Default Interest Rate, as the case may be.

1.6 Applicable Interest Rate. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, interest shall accrue upon the daily net balance of Total Revolving Outstandings at an annual rate equal to the Interest Rate, which rate shall change upon the Interest Rate Change Frequency and which will compound monthly.

1.7 Default Interest Rate. During a Default Period or at any time following the Termination Date, as applicable, in Lender’s sole discretion and without waiving any of its other rights or remedies, interest shall accrue on the daily net balance of Total Revolving Outstandings at an annual rate equal to the Interest Rate plus 5% (the “Default Rate”) or any lesser rate that Lender may deem appropriate, starting on the day the Default Period begins through the last day of that Default Period.

1.8 Invoice Fees. Borrower shall pay Lender, without duplication, a fee equal to the Invoice Fee Rate multiplied by the sum of (a) the face amount of each Eligible Account included in the Borrowing Base plus (b) the face amount of each other account for which payment is received in the Lock Box (the “Invoice Fee”). The Invoice Fee shall be fully earned by Lender for the services of reconciling invoices and providing the Platform and payable monthly in arrears on the Payment Day of each calendar month.

1.9 Usury. No interest rate shall be effective that would result in a rate greater than the highest rate permitted by law. Payments in the nature of interest and other charges made under any Loan Documents or any other document or agreement described in or related to this Agreement that are later determined to be in excess of the limits imposed by applicable usury law will be deemed to be a payment of principal, and the Obligations shall be reduced by that amount so that such payments will not be deemed usurious.

1.10 Calculation of Interest. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-days-per-year factor applied to the number of actual days elapsed.

1.11 Payments Due on Non-Business Days. If any date on which a payment is due falls on a day that is not a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next Business Day, and interest shall continue to accrue during that time period.

1.12 Application of Payments. All payments on the Loans shall be applied at any time and from time to time in the following order: (a) the payment or reimbursement of any expenses (including late charges), costs or obligations (other than the principal hereof and interest hereon) for which Borrower shall be obligated or Lender entitled pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents, (b) the payment of accrued but unpaid interest, and (c) the payment of all or any portion of the principal balance then outstanding, in either the direct or inverse order of maturity, at Lender’s option.

1.13 Evidence of Loans and Payments. The Loans made by Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by Lender (the “Loan Account”) in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by Lender to Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Loans.

1.14 Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, or, if required by Applicable Law, shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes (other than income and franchise taxes owing by Lender) payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Borrower shall timely pay all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar taxes that arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a Lien under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document.

1.15 Wire Fee. If Borrower elects to be paid by wire transfer, Lender will charge a fee in the amount of the Wire Transfer Fee indicated on the Term Sheet for each wire transfer.

1.16 Termination of Credit Facility. Borrower may not terminate this Agreement except by giving Lender 30 days’ prior irrevocable written notice of its intent to terminate the Agreement. Upon termination, Borrower shall pay to Lender all outstanding Obligations and the applicable Termination Fee.

1.17 Extensions of Maturity Date. Lender has no commitment or obligation to extend the Maturity Date. Any extension of the Maturity Date will be made in Lender’s sole discretion in writing.

1.18 Origination Fee. On the closing date, Borrower shall pay Borrower a fee in the amount of the Origination Fee indicated on the Term Sheet.

Article 2

SECURITY AGREEMENT AND CASH MANAGEMENT

2.1 Grant of Security Interest. To secure payment and performance of the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral, wherever located, whether now existing or hereafter arising or acquired.

2.2 Cash Management.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed by Borrower and Lender, Borrower shall direct all of its account debtors to make all payments on the accounts directly to the Lock Box or, for payments received by wire or ACH, to the Blocked Account, in each such case by delivering to each account debtor an executed notice of security interest in a manner and form and substance acceptable to Lender. Borrower authorizes Lender and its designated agent to seek from account debtors verification of accounts or to otherwise verify such accounts. If Borrower, any Related Party of Borrower, or any other Person acting for or in concert with Borrower shall receive any monies, checks, notes, drafts or other payments relating to or as proceeds of accounts or other Collateral, then Borrower shall receive and shall cause each such Person to receive, all such items in trust for, and as the sole and exclusive property of, Lender and, immediately upon receipt thereof, shall remit the same (or cause the same to be remitted) in kind to the Blocked Account. All checks, drafts, instruments and other items of payment or proceeds of Collateral shall be endorsed by Borrower to Lender, and, if that endorsement of any such item shall not be made for any reason, Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse the same on Borrower’s behalf.

(b) Borrower irrevocably hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Lender (and all Persons designated by Lender for that purpose) as Borrower’s true and lawful attorney and agent-in-fact (1) to endorse Borrower’s name upon said items of payment and proceeds of Collateral and upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice or similar document or agreement relating to any account of Borrower; (2) to take control in any manner of any item of payment or proceeds thereof and (2) to have access to any lock box or postal box into which any of Borrower’s mail is deposited, and open and process all mail addressed to Borrower and deposited therein.

(c) All funds received in the Blocked Account in immediately available funds shall be applied on a daily basis to the Total Revolving Outstandings. All funds received in the Blocked Account that are not immediately available funds (checks, drafts and similar forms of payment) shall be deemed applied by Lender on account of the Obligations (subject to final payment of such items) in accordance with the foregoing sentence the third Business Day after receipt by Lender of such items in the Lock Box. If as the result of such application of funds a credit balance exists, such credit balance shall not accrue interest in favor of Borrower but shall, so long as no Default Period exists, be disbursed to Borrower or otherwise at Borrower’s direction, upon Borrower’s request. During a Default Period, Lender may, at its option, offset such credit balance against any of the Obligations or hold such credit balance as Collateral for the Obligations.

2.3

Perfection of Security Interest and Further Assurances.

(a) Borrower shall, from time to time, as may be required by Lender with respect to all Collateral, promptly take all actions as may be reasonably requested by Lender to perfect the Lien of Lender in the Collateral, including, with respect to all Collateral over which control may be obtained within the meaning of sections 8-106, 9- 104, 9-105, 9-106 and 9-107 of the UCC, section 201 of the federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and, as the case may be, section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as applicable, Borrower shall promptly take all actions as may be reasonably requested from time to time by Lender so that control of such Collateral is obtained and at all times held by Lender. All of the foregoing shall be at Borrower’s sole cost and expense.

(b) Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any financing statements and amendments thereto that contain the information required by Article 9 of the UCC of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment relating to the Collateral, including any financing or continuation statements or other documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the Lien granted by Borrower hereunder, without Borrower’s signature where permitted by law, including the filing of a financing statement describing the Collateral. Borrower agrees to provide all information required by Lender pursuant to this Section promptly to Lender upon request.

(c) Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at Borrower’s expense, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, obtain such agreements from third parties, and take all further action, that may be necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any Lien granted hereby or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder or under any other agreement with respect to any Collateral.

2.4 Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Borrower hereby appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in- fact, with full authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or otherwise, from time to time during the term of this Agreement, in Lender’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument which Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (but Lender shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to Borrower or any third party for failure to do so or take action). This appointment, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable. Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

2.5 Reasonable Care. Lender shall have no duty with respect to the care and preservation of the Collateral beyond the exercise of reasonable care. Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Lender accords its own property, it being understood that Lender shall not have any responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to any claims, the nature or sufficiency of any payment or performance by any party under or pursuant to any agreement relating to the Collateral or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral. Neither this Agreement nor the exercise by Lender of any of its rights and remedies will relieve Borrower from the performance of any obligation on Borrower’s part to be performed or observed in respect of any of the Collateral.

2.6 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Lender and Liens hereunder, and all Obligations of Borrower hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (a) any illegality or lack of validity or enforceability of any Obligation or any related agreement or instrument; (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of the Loan Documents, including any increase in the Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise; (c) any taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver or other modification of any guaranty, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any manner of sale, disposition or application of proceeds of any Collateral or any other collateral or other assets to all or part of the Obligations; (e) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations; (f) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, Borrower against Lender; or (g) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Loans or any existence of or reliance on any representation by Lender that might vary the risk of Borrower or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, Borrower or any other grantor, guarantor or surety.

All such financial statements, including the related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Such financial statements show all material indebtedness and other material liabilities, direct or contingent, of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof, including material liabilities for Taxes, material commitments, and Indebtedness, in each case, to the extent required to be disclosed under GAAP.

4.9 Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of the most recent financial statements provided to Lender, there has been no Material Adverse Effect.

4.10 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower or any of its Affiliates or the properties of Borrower or any of its Affiliates before any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, that, if determined adversely to Borrower or any of its Affiliates, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.11 Taxes. Borrower and its Subsidiaries each has filed, has caused to be filed or has been included in all Federal, state and other Tax returns that are required to be filed, including all income, franchise, employment, property and sales taxes, and has paid all Taxes shown thereon to be due, together with applicable interest and penalties, and all other Taxes imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of Borrower or its Subsidiary); no tax Lien has been filed, and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such Tax. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is party to any tax sharing agreement.

Borrower has not violated any provision of any defined employee pension benefit plan (as defined in ERISA) maintained or contributed to by Borrower (each, a “Plan”). No Reportable Event as defined in ERISA has occurred and is continuing with respect to any Plan initiated by Borrower. Borrower has met its minimum funding requirements under ERISA with respect to each Plan. Each Plan will be able to fulfill its benefit obligations as they come due in accordance with the Plan documents and under GAAP.

4.13 Labor Matters. Borrower knows of no pending, threatened or contemplated strikes, work stoppage or other collective labor disputes involving its employees or those of its Subsidiaries. Borrower neither is nor has been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other Applicable Law dealing with such matters that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

4.14 Solvency. As of, from and after the date of this Agreement, Borrower (a) owns and will own assets the fair saleable value of which are (1) greater than the total amount of liabilities (including contingent liabilities); and (2) greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of its then existing debts as they become absolute and matured considering all financing alternatives and potential asset sales reasonably available to it; (b) has capital that is not unreasonably small in relation to its business as presently conducted or any contemplated or undertaken transaction; and (c) does not intend to incur and does not believe that it will incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they become due.

4.15 Ownership of Property. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has good record and marketable title in fee simple to or valid leasehold interests in, all real property necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of its business, except for such defects in title as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has good and marketable title to, valid leasehold interests in, or valid licenses to use all personal property and assets material to the ordinary conduct of its business free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens.

4.16 Casualty. Neither the businesses nor the properties of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are affected by any fire, explosion, accident, strike, lockout or other labor dispute, drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo, act of God or of the public enemy or other casualty (whether or not covered by insurance) that, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.17 Intellectual Property. Borrower owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently conducted or proposed to be conducted. No material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging the use, validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor is Borrower aware of any valid basis for any such claim. The use of Intellectual Property by Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not materially infringe on the rights of any Person.

4.18 Burdensome Restrictions. Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not presently anticipate that future expenditures needed to meet the provisions of any statutes, orders, rules or regulations of a Governmental Authority will be so burdensome as to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Subsidiary is party to any agreement or instrument or otherwise subject to any restriction or encumbrance that restricts or limits its ability to make dividend payments or other distributions in respect of its capital stock to Borrower or any Subsidiary or to transfer any of its assets or properties to Borrower or any other Subsidiary in each case other than existing under or by reason of the Loan Documents or Applicable Law.

4.19 No Default. No Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no default has occurred and is continuing under or with respect to any material contractual obligation of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.20 No Broker’s Fees. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary has any obligation to any Person in respect of any finders’, brokers’, investment banking or other similar fee in connection with any of the Loans or this Agreement.

4.21 Full Disclosure. Borrower and its Subsidiaries have disclosed to Lender all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which Borrower and any Subsidiary thereof are subject, and all other matters known to them, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No financial statement, material report, material certificate or other material information furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf of Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof to Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished), taken together as a whole, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, pro forma financial information, estimated financial information and other projected or estimated information, such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time.

4.22 Accounts. Each account which Borrower requests Lender to classify as an Eligible Account, as of the time when such request is made, conforms in all respects to the requirements of such classification as set forth in the definition of “Eligible Account”.

Article 5

AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

Until payment and satisfaction in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the termination of this Agreement, Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to:

5.1 Reporting Requirements. Deliver to Lender the following information, compiled where applicable using GAAP, in form and content acceptable to Lender:

(a) Borrowing Base Certificate. With each request for a Revolving Loan and upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Borrowing Base Certificate in a form and with such specificity as is satisfactory to Lender and containing such additional information concerning accounts as may be requested by Lender including copies of all invoices prepared in connection with such accounts.

(b) Quarterly Financial Statements. As soon as available and in any event within 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter, a Borrower prepared balance sheet, income statement, and statement of retained earnings prepared for that month and for the year–to-date period then ended, prepared, if requested by Lender, on a consolidated and consolidating basis to include Borrower’s Affiliates, and stating in comparative form the figures for the corresponding date and periods in the prior fiscal year, subject to year-end adjustments.

7.4 Sales of Collateral. If notice prior to disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof is necessary under applicable law, written notice mailed to Borrower 10 days prior to the date of such disposition will constitute reasonable notice, but notice given in any other reasonable manner shall be sufficient. So long as the sale of the Collateral is made in a commercially reasonable manner, Lender may sell such Collateral on such terms and to such purchaser as Lender in its absolute discretion may choose, without assuming any credit risk and without any obligation to advertise or give notice of any kind other than that necessary under applicable law. Without precluding any other methods of sale, the sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall have been made in a commercially reasonable manner if conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of creditors disposing of similar property. At any sale of the Collateral, if permitted by applicable law, Lender may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Collateral or any part thereof and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Collateral or any part thereof payable at such sale. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Lender arising out of the exercise by it of any rights hereunder. Borrower hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, Lender or any custodian may bid for and purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. Neither Lender nor any custodian shall be liable for failure to collect or realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing, nor shall it be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto.

7.5 Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Lender to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Lender (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Lender to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as Borrower, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to decline to provide credit to any potential purchaser of the Collateral in connection with Lender’s disposition of the Collateral, (k) to disclaim disposition warranties, (l) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Lender against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Lender a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (m) to the extent deemed appropriate by Lender, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Lender in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Borrower acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Lender would satisfy Lender’s duties under the UCC in Lender’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Lender shall not be deemed to fail to satisfy such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to Borrower or to impose any duties on Lender that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section.

Each Indemnitee will use its best efforts to cooperate in the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding. If this agreement to indemnify is held to be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall nevertheless make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities to the extent permissible under Applicable Law.
