IX. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT

9.1 Rights and Remedies.

(a) In addition to the acceleration provisions set forth in Article VIII above, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights, options and remedies provided for in any Loan Document, under the UCC or at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to (i) apply any property of Borrower held by Agent to reduce the Obligations, (ii) foreclose the Liens created under the Loan Documents, (iii) realize upon, take possession of and/or sell any Collateral or securities pledged, with or without judicial process, (iv) exercise all rights and powers with respect to the Collateral as Borrower, as applicable, might exercise, (v) collect and send notices regarding the Collateral, with or without judicial process, (vi) by its own means or with judicial assistance, enter any premises at which the Collateral and/or Pledged Shares are located, or render any of the foregoing unusable or dispose of the Collateral and/or Pledged Shares on such premises without any liability for rent, storage, utilities or other sums, and Borrower shall not resist or interfere with such action, (vii) at Borrower’s expense, require that all or any part of the Collateral be assembled and made available to Agent at any place designated by Agent in its reasonable discretion, (viii) reduce or otherwise change the Loan Amount and/or any component of the foregoing, (ix) relinquish or abandon any Collateral or Pledged Shares or any Lien thereon, and/or (x) take possession of the files of Borrower relating to the Collateral and all documents relating to the Collateral. Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document, Agent, in its sole discretion, shall have the right upon five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to Borrower, at any time that Borrower fails to do so, to: (A) obtain insurance covering any of the Collateral to the extent required hereunder; (B) pay for the performance of any of the Obligations; (C) discharge taxes, levies and/or Liens on any of the Collateral that are in violation of any Loan Document unless Borrower is in good faith with due diligence by appropriate proceedings contesting those items; and (D) pay for the maintenance, repair and/or preservation of the Collateral. The reasonable expenses and advances incurred in connection therewith shall be added to the Obligations until reimbursed to Agent, for its own account and for the benefit of the other Lenders, and shall be secured by the Collateral, and such payments by Agent, for its own account and for the benefit of the other Lenders, shall not be construed as a waiver by Agent or the Lenders of any Event of Default or any other rights or remedies of Agent or the Lenders.

(b) Borrower agrees that notice received by it at least ten (10) calendar days before the time of any intended public sale, or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of the Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to be reasonable notice of such sale or other disposition. If permitted by applicable law, any perishable Collateral that threatens to speedily decline in value or that is sold on a recognized market may be sold immediately by Agent without prior notice to Borrower. At any sale or disposition of the Collateral or securities pledged, Agent may (to the extent permitted by applicable law) purchase all or any part thereof free from any right of redemption by Borrower, which right is hereby waived and released. Borrower covenants and agrees not to interfere with or impose any obstacle to Agent’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral. In dealing with or disposing of the Collateral or any part thereof, Agent shall not be required to give priority or preference to any item of the Collateral or otherwise to marshal assets or to take possession or sell any Collateral with judicial process. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Agent arising out of the exercise by Agent of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent. Because Borrower recognizes that it may not be possible to purchase or sell all of the Collateral on a particular Business Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the market for the Collateral may not be liquid, Borrower agrees that liquidation of the Collateral does not require a public purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Accordingly, Agent may elect, in its reasonable discretion, the time and manner of liquidating any Collateral and nothing contained herein shall (A) obligate Agent to liquidate any Collateral on the occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Collateral in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any of Agent’s rights or remedies.

(c) Borrower recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibition contained in Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws, Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Shares, to limit purchasers to those Persons that, among other things, agree to acquire such Pledged Shares for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Borrower acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to Agent than those obtainable through a sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale that is made on an arm’s-length basis shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales.

9.2 Application of Proceeds. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.5 hereof), in addition to any other rights, options and remedies Agent and the Lenders have under the Loan Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, all dividends, interest, rents, issues, profits, fees, revenues, income and other proceeds collected or received from collecting, holding, managing, renting, selling or otherwise disposing of all or any part of the Collateral or any proceeds thereof upon exercise of its remedies hereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to the payment of all reasonable costs and expenses of such collection, storage, lease, holding, operation, management, sale, disposition or delivery and of conducting Borrower’s business and of maintenance, repairs, replacements, alterations, additions and improvements of or to the Collateral, and to the payment of all reasonable sums that Agent or the Lenders may be required or may elect to pay, if any, for taxes, assessments, insurance and other charges upon the Collateral or any part thereof, and all other reasonable payments that Agent or the Lenders may be required or authorized to make under any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, in each such case, reasonable in-house documentation and diligence fees and reasonable search, audit, recording, professional and filing fees and expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees and all reasonable expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred in connection therewith); (ii) second, to the payment of all Obligations in such order as determined by Agent in its sole discretion; and (iii) third, to the payment of any surplus then remaining to Borrower, unless otherwise provided by law or directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that Borrower shall be liable for any deficiency if such proceeds are insufficient to satisfy the Obligations (other than indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) or any of the other items referred to in this Section (other than the foregoing clause (iii) to the extent the Obligations (other than indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash).

9.3 Rights to Appoint Receiver. Without limiting and in addition to any other rights, options and remedies Agent and the Lenders have under the Loan Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to apply to have a receiver appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction in any action taken by Agent and/or any Lender to enforce its rights and remedies in order to manage, protect and preserve the Collateral and continue the operation of the business of Borrower and to collect all revenues and profits thereof and apply the same to the payment of all expenses and other charges of such receivership, including the compensation of the receiver and to the payments as aforesaid until a sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall be finally made and consummated.

9.4 Attorney-in-Fact. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its attorney-in-fact for the limited purpose of taking any action permitted under the Loan Documents that Agent reasonably deems necessary or desirable upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default to protect and realize upon Agent’s Lien in the Collateral, including the execution and delivery of any and all documents or instruments related to the Collateral in Borrower’s name, and said appointment shall create in Agent a power coupled with an interest.

9.5 Blocked Accounts. Without limiting any other provision of any Loan Document and in addition to any other rights, options and remedies, Agent and the Lenders have under the Loan Documents, the UCC, at law or in equity, upon the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to require that all amounts in all Deposit Accounts of Borrower (other than any Existing Account of Borrower) are paid and delivered directly into a blocked account under the sole dominion and control of Agent and that all such amounts are immediately transferred into a depository account or accounts maintained by Agent or an Affiliate of Agent at such bank as Agent may determine in its sole discretion.

9.6 Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens and/or remedies Agent and the Lenders may at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate or modify, and such determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights, Liens or remedies under any Loan Document, applicable law or equity. The enumeration of any rights and remedies in any Loan Document is not intended to be exhaustive, and all rights and remedies of Agent and the Lenders described in any Loan Document are cumulative and are not alternative to or exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Agent and the Lenders otherwise may have. The partial or complete exercise of any right or remedy shall not preclude any other further exercise of such or any other right or remedy.

X. WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS

10.1 Waivers. Except as expressly provided for herein or provided by law, Borrower hereby waives set off, counterclaim, demand, presentment, protest, all defenses with respect to any and all instruments and all notices and demands of any description. Borrower hereby waives any and all defenses and counterclaims it may have or could interpose in any action or procedure brought by Agent to obtain an order of court recognizing the assignment of, or Lien of Agent in and to, any Collateral.

10.2 Delay; No Waiver of Defaults. No course of action or dealing, renewal, release or extension of any provision of any Loan Document, or single or partial exercise of any such provision, or delay, failure or omission on Agent’s part in enforcing any such provision shall affect the liability of Borrower or operate as a waiver of such provision or preclude any other or further exercise of such provision. No waiver by any party to any Loan Document of any one or more defaults by any other party in the performance of any of the provisions of any Loan Document shall operate or be construed as a waiver of any future default, whether of a like or different nature, and each such waiver shall be limited solely to the express terms and provisions of such waiver. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, by completing the Closing under this Agreement and/or by making the Loan, no Lender waives any breach of any representation or warranty of under any Loan Document, and all of Agent’s or any Lender’s claims and rights resulting from any such breach or misrepresentation are specifically reserved.

10.3 Jury Waiver. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.

10.4 Amendment and Waivers.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document, or consent by any party hereto to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the party to be charged therewith.

(b) Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

(c) Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.4 shall be binding upon Agent, the Lenders and Borrower.

XI. CLOSING DATE AND TERMINATION

11.1 Effectiveness and Termination. Subject to Agent’s right to accelerate the Loan, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Maturity Date, unless terminated sooner as provided in this Section 11.1. All of the Obligations (other than indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) shall be immediately due and payable on the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Loan Document, no termination of this Agreement shall affect Agent’s or any Lender’s rights or any of the Obligations existing as of the effective date of such termination, and the provisions of the Loan Documents shall continue to be fully operative until the Obligations (other than indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) have been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in cash in full. The Liens granted to Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and the financing statements filed pursuant thereto and the rights and powers of the Lenders and Agent shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations (other than indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) have been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

11.2 Survival. All obligations, covenants, agreements, representations, warranties, waivers and indemnities made by Borrower in any Loan Document shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the Closing, the making and funding of the Loan and any termination of this Agreement until all Obligations (other than indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending) are fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. The obligations and provisions of Sections 10.1, 10.3, 11.1, 11.2, 12.1, 12.3, 12.4, 12.9, 12.12 and 12.13 hereof shall survive termination of the Loan Documents and any payment, in full or in part, of the Obligations.

XII. MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Venue. The Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law, which shall govern. Any judicial proceeding against any party hereto with respect to the Obligations, any Loan Document or any related agreement may be brought in any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of New York. By execution and delivery of each Loan Document to which it is a party, each of the parties hereto (i) accepts the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and (subject to its right to appeal) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby, (ii) waives personal service of process, (iii) agrees that service of process upon it may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, pursuant to Section 12.5 hereof, and (iv) waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of any action instituted hereunder and agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction, venue, convenience or forum non conveniens. Nothing shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of any party hereto to bring proceedings against any other party in the courts of any other jurisdiction having jurisdiction.

12.2 Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations.

(a) A Lender may at any time assign all or a portion of its rights and delegate all or a portion of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Loan) to one or more Persons (a “Transferee”) without limitation or restriction. The Transferee and such Lender shall execute and deliver for acceptance and recording in the Register a Lender Addition Agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent in its sole discretion (“Lender Addition Agreement”). Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Lender Addition Agreement, (i) the Transferee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Lender Addition Agreement, have the same rights, benefits and obligations as it would if it were a Lender hereunder, (ii) the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its Commitment or assigned portion thereof, as the case may be, to the extent that such obligations shall have been expressly assumed by the Transferee pursuant to such Lender Addition Agreement (and, in the case of a Lender Addition Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such assigning Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but, with respect to matters occurring before such assignment, shall nevertheless continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 12.4 and 12.7 hereof). Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any assignment will give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to the Transferee and that the Transferee shall be considered to be a “Lender” hereunder. Borrower may not sell, assign or transfer any interest in this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any of the Obligations, or any portion thereof, including Borrower’s rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties hereunder or thereunder.

(b) Agent and each Lender may at any time sell participations in all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Loan) to one or more Persons (each, a “Participant”). In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participation to a Participant, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan (and any Note evidencing such Loan) for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (v) such Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof to the same extent as if it were a Lender and acquired its interest by assignment; provided, however, that, a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 hereof than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender shall sell any such participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to exercise such Lender’s rights and enforce Borrower’s obligations hereunder, including the right to consent to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, that such participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not agree, without the consent of the Participant, to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of: (A) any reduction in the principal amount, interest rate or fees payable with respect to any Loan in which such holder participates; (B) any extension of the termination date of this Agreement or the date fixed for any payment of principal, interest or fees payable with respect to any Loan in which such holder participates; and (C) any release of all or substantially all of the Collateral (other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents). Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Participant under each participation shall, solely for the purposes of Sections 12.4 and 12.7 hereof, be considered to be a “Lender” hereunder.

(c) Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 12.5 hereof a copy of each Lender Addition Agreement delivered to it and a written or electronic register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and the principal amount of the portion of the Loan owing to, and the Notes evidencing the Loans owned by, each Lender from time to time. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of Borrower and Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of its relevant portion of the Loan, the Notes and the Commitment recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no assignment under Section 12.2(a) hereof of any rights or obligations under or in respect of the Loan or the Notes evidencing any portion of the Loan shall be effective unless and until Agent shall have recorded the assignment pursuant to Section 12.2(c) hereof. Upon its receipt of a Lender Addition Agreement executed by an assigning Agent and a Transferee, Agent shall (i) promptly accept Lender Addition Agreement and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such acceptance and recordation to the assigning Lender and Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it, all or a portion of which are being assigned, and Borrower, at their own expense, shall, upon the request of Agent by the assigning Lender or the Transferee, as applicable, execute and deliver to Agent, within five (5) Business Days of any request, new Notes to reflect the interest held by the assigning Lender and its Transferee.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12.2, Agent and each Lender shall not, as between Borrower and Agent, be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any sale, assignment, transfer or negotiation of, or granting of participation in, all or any part of a Loan or other Obligations owed to Agent and the Lenders. Agent may furnish any information concerning Borrower in the possession of Agent from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject to confidentiality requirements hereunder.

(f) Agent and each Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Loan (or the portion thereof) owing to it and the Notes held by it and the other Loan Documents and Collateral.

(g) Borrower agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts to assist Agent and each Lender in assigning or selling participations in all or any part of the Loan made by any Lender to another Person identified by such Lender.

(h) Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, (i) Agent and its Affiliates shall not be required to execute and deliver a Lender Addition Agreement in connection with any transaction involving its Affiliates or Lenders, (ii) no lender to or funding or financing source of Agent or its Affiliates shall be considered a Transferee, (iii) there shall be no limitation or restriction on Agent’s ability to assign or otherwise transfer any Loan Document to any such Affiliate or lender to or funding or financing source of Agent or its Affiliates, and (iv) there shall be no limitation or restriction on such Affiliates’ or lenders’ or financing or funding sources’ ability to assign or otherwise transfer any Loan Document, Loan, Note or Obligation (or any of its rights thereunder or interest therein); provided, however, Agent shall continue to be liable as a “Lender” under the Loan Documents unless such Affiliate or lender or funding or financing source executes a Lender Addition Agreement and thereby becomes a “Lender.”

(i) The Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of Agent, the Lenders, Transferee, Participant (to the extent expressly provided therein only) and all future holders of the Notes, the Obligations and/or any of the Collateral, and each of their respective successors and permitted assigns. Each Loan Document shall be binding upon the Persons that are parties thereto and their respective successors and assigns, and no such Person may assign, delegate or transfer any Loan Document or any of its rights or obligations thereunder without the prior written consent of Agent. No rights are intended to be created under any Loan Document for the benefit of any third party donee, creditor or incidental beneficiary of Borrower. Nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as a delegation to Agent of any other Person’s duty of performance. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT AGENT AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME MAY (I) DIVIDE AND REISSUE (WITHOUT SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES OTHER THAN THOSE RESULTING FROM SUCH DIVISION) THE NOTES, AND/OR (II) SELL, ASSIGN OR GRANT PARTICIPATING INTERESTS IN OR TRANSFER ALL OR ANY PART OF ITS RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, THE NOTE, THE OBLIGATIONS AND/OR THE COLLATERAL TO OTHER PERSONS, IN EACH CASE ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS PROVIDED HEREIN. Each Transferee and Participant shall have all of the rights and benefits with respect to the Obligations, Notes, Collateral and/or Loan Documents held by it as fully as if the original holder thereof; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay under this Agreement to any Transferee or Participant any sum in excess of the sum that it would have been obligated to pay to Agent had such transfer or participation not been effected. Agent may disclose to any Transferee or Participant all information, reports, financial statements, certificates and documents obtained under any provision of any Loan Document; provided, that Transferees and Participants shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions contained herein that are applicable to Agent.

12.3 Application of Payments. To the extent that any payment made or received with respect to the Obligations is subsequently invalidated, determined to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, defeased or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other Person under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause or any other law, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment shall be revived and shall continue as if such payment had not been received by Agent, and the Liens created hereby shall be revived automatically without any action on the part of any party hereto and shall continue as if such payment had not been received by Agent. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, any payments with respect to the Obligations received shall be credited and applied in such manner and order as Agent shall decide in its sole discretion.

12.4 Indemnity.

(a) Borrower (the “Indemnitor”) shall indemnify each of Agent, each Lender, its Affiliates and managers, members, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, representatives, successors, assigns, accountants and attorneys (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and in-house documentation and diligence fees and legal expenses) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Person with respect to or arising out of, or in any litigation, proceeding or investigation instituted or conducted by any Person with respect to any aspect of, or any transaction contemplated by, or any matter related to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any act of or omission by Indemnitor or any of its officers, directors, agents, including, without limitation (i) any willful misrepresentation with respect to Indemnitor or the Collateral, (ii) any acts of fraud by Indemnitor related to the Loan or made in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (iii) any theft of any Collateral that is not in the possession, custody or control of Agent or any of its agents or representatives, (iv) any misappropriation (other than by Agent or any Lender or any of agents or representatives of any of the foregoing) of funds or proceeds of the Loan not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) any Change of Control not approved in writing by Agent, (vi) any waste or other disposal of the Collateral (other than any disposal by Agent or any Lender or any of agents or representatives of any of the foregoing) not permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (vii) any environmental liability, except to the extent any of the foregoing arises out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Person or any agent or representative thereof. To the extent that any Indemnified Person obtains recovery from a third party other than an Indemnified Person of any of the amounts that the Indemnitor has paid to any Indemnified Person pursuant to the indemnity set forth in this Section 12.4, then such Indemnified Person shall promptly pay to the Indemnitor the amount of such recovery.

(b) If any Indemnified Person shall receive notice of, or otherwise become aware of the assertion of a claim by any third party that would give rise to a claim for indemnification from Borrower under Section 12.4(a) hereof (any such claim, a “Third-Party Claim”), then such Indemnified Person shall give prompt written notice thereof to Borrower, which notice shall include or be accompanied with a copy of any summons, complaint or other written evidence of such Third-Party Claim to the extent that such summons, complaint or other written evidence has been received by such Indemnified Person or by any attorney or other agent thereof. Borrower shall, with counsel selected by it (which, in the event any insurance coverage may be available with respect to such Third-Party Claim, be counsel designated by an insurer), be entitled to defend against and settle any Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that its right to do so shall be conditioned upon its having confirmed in writing to such Indemnified Person Borrower’s obligation to indemnify such Indemnified Person with respect to such Third-Party Claim (any such confirmation, a “Notice to Indemnify”) and, provided, further, however, that the Indemnifying Person shall not be entitled to enter into any settlement of any such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Persons against any Third-Party Claim shall be conditioned upon the Indemnified Persons providing full and timely cooperation in the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, except as provided in the next following sentence, Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Person for, or otherwise pay, any attorneys’ fees or other legal or related costs (or any costs of any investigation) suffered or incurred by any Indemnified Person in connection with any Third-Party Claim after such Indemnified Person has received any Notice to Indemnify with respect to such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that, if, after giving any Notice to Indemnify, Borrower reverses its position and claims that it is not required to indemnify such Indemnified Person against the Third-Party Claim, then, in the event Borrower is obligated hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person with respect to such Third-Party Claim, Borrower shall bear and pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal costs, including those related to any appeal, and costs of any investigation, incurred by such Indemnified Person after Borrower has reversed its position and claimed that it is not required to indemnify such Indemnified Person against such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a legitimate and good faith conflict of interest between Borrower and any Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim so that one counsel or law firm could not properly represent both Borrower and such Indemnified Person in connection with such defense, Borrower, in the event it is obligated hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person with respect to such Third-Party Claim, shall bear and pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal costs, including those related to any appeal, and costs of any investigation, incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with such defense, regardless of whether Borrower has given a Notice to Indemnify. However, under no circumstances shall Borrower be obligated to pay for the attorneys’ fees or related legal fees of more than one attorney or law firm for or on behalf of one or more of the Indemnified Persons.

12.5 Notice. Any notice or request under any Loan Document shall be given to any party to this Agreement at such party’s address set forth beneath its signature on the signature page to this Agreement, or at such other address as such party may hereafter specify in a notice given in the manner required under this Section 12.5. Any notice or request hereunder shall be given only by (i) registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, (ii) a nationally recognized overnight courier or (iii) facsimile or electronic transmission, and shall be deemed to have been received (each, a “Receipt”) (i) if mailed as above provided, on the date on which received as indicated in the return receipt therefore, (ii) if sent by courier as above provided, one (1) Business Day after deposit with such courier, or (iii) if sent by facsimile or electronic transmission as above provided, upon telephone or further electronic communication from the recipient acknowledging receipt (whether automatic or manual from recipient).

12.6 Severability; Captions; Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. If any provision of any Loan Document is adjudicated to be invalid under applicable laws or regulations, such provision shall be inapplicable to the extent of such invalidity without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the Loan Documents, which shall be given effect so far as possible. The captions in the Loan Documents are intended for convenience and reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents may be executed in two or more counterparts (which taken together, as applicable, shall constitute one and the same instrument) and by facsimile transmission, which facsimile signatures shall be considered original executed counterparts. Each party to this Agreement agrees that it will be bound by its own facsimile signature and that it accepts the facsimile signature of each other party.

12.7 Expenses. Borrower shall pay all fees, costs and expenses incurred or earned by Agent, any Lender, and/or its Affiliates, including, without limitation, reasonable portfolio management, documentation and diligence fees and expenses, reasonable search, audit, appraisal, recording, professional and filing fees and expenses and other reasonable charges and expenses (including, without limitation, UCC and judgment and tax lien searches and UCC filings and fees for post-Closing UCC and judgment and tax lien searches and reasonable wire transfer fees and audit expenses), and reasonable internal and external attorneys’ fees and expenses (i) incurred to enforce, protect or collect payment of any Obligation or to enforce any Loan Document or any related agreement, document or instrument, (ii) in connection with entering into, negotiating, preparing, reviewing and executing the Loan Documents and/or any related agreements, documents or instruments, (iii) arising in any way out of administration of the Obligations or the taking or refraining from taking by Agent of any action requested by Borrower, (iv) in connection with instituting, maintaining, preserving, enforcing and/or foreclosing on Agent’s Liens in any of the Collateral or securities pledged under the Loan Documents, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, (v) in defending or prosecuting any actions, claims or proceedings arising out of or relating to Agent’s or any Lender’s transactions with Borrower, (vi) in seeking, obtaining or receiving any advice with respect to its rights and obligations under any Loan Document and any related agreement, document or instrument, (vii) arising out of or relating to any Default or Event of Default or occurring thereafter or as a result thereof, (viii) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.7 hereof, in connection with all actions, visits, audits and inspections undertaken by Agent or its Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents, and/or (ix) in connection with any modification, restatement, supplement, amendment, waiver or extension of any Loan Document and/or any related agreement, document or instrument. All of the foregoing shall be charged to Borrower’s account and shall be part of the Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall pay all Taxes (other than Taxes based upon or measured by Agent’s or any Lender’s income or revenues or any personal property tax), if any, in connection with the issuance of any Note and the filing and/or recording of any documents and/or financing statements.

12.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party constitute the entire agreement between Borrower, Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings (including, but not limited to, the term sheets related to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), if any, relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing signed by Borrower, Agent and the Lenders, as appropriate. Except as set forth in and subject to Section 10.4 hereof, no provision of any Loan Document may be changed, modified, amended, restated, waived, supplemented, discharged, canceled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing or in any other manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by Borrower and Agent. Each party hereto acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the terms and provisions hereof. The schedules attached hereto may be amended or supplemented by Borrower upon delivery to Agent of such amendments or supplements and, except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the written approval thereof by Agent.

12.9 Approvals and Duties. Unless provided herein to the contrary, any approval, consent, waiver or satisfaction of Agent with respect to any matter that is subject of any Loan Document may be granted or withheld by Agent, as applicable, in its sole and absolute discretion. Other than Agent’s duty of reasonable care with respect to Collateral, Agent shall have no responsibility for or obligation or duty with respect to any of the Collateral or any matter or proceeding arising out of or relating thereto, including, without limitation, any obligation or duty to collect any sums due in respect thereof or to protect or preserve any rights pertaining thereto.

12.10 Publicity. Except as may be required in order to comply with applicable laws and rules, Borrower agrees that Agent shall have the right to review and approve all materials that Borrower or any of its Affiliates prepares or proposes to transmit or disclose that contain Agent’s name or describe or refer to any Loan Document, any of the terms thereof or any of the transactions contemplated thereby. Nothing contained in any Loan Document is intended to permit or authorize Borrower or any of its Affiliates to contract on behalf of Agent. The parties hereto agree that Agent and its Affiliates may (i) disclose a general description of transactions arising under the Loan Documents for advertising, marketing or other similar purposes, and (ii) use Borrower’s name, logo or other indicia germane to such party in connection with such advertising, marketing or other similar purposes.

12.11 Release of Collateral. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon request of Borrower, Agent shall release any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral being sold or disposed of in compliance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, as determined by Agent in its reasonable discretion. Subject to Section 12.3 hereof, promptly following full performance and satisfaction and indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations (other than indemnity obligations under the Loan Documents that are not then due and payable or for which any events or claims that would give rise thereto are not then pending), the Liens created hereby shall terminate and Agent shall execute and deliver such documents, at Borrower’s expense, as are necessary to release Agent’s Liens in the Collateral and shall return the Collateral to Borrower; provided, however, that the parties agree that, notwithstanding any such termination or release or the execution, delivery or filing of any such documents or the return of any Collateral, if and to the extent that any such payment made or received with respect to the Obligations is subsequently invalidated, determined to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, defeased or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver, custodian or any other Person under any Debtor Relief Law, common law or equitable cause or any other law, then the Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment shall be revived and shall continue as if such payment had not been received by Agent and the Liens created hereby shall be revived automatically without any action on the part of any party hereto and shall continue as if such payment had not been received by Agent. Agent shall not be deemed to have made any representation or warranty with respect to any Collateral so delivered except that such Collateral is free and clear, on the date of such delivery, of any and all Liens arising from the acts or omissions of Agent or any of its agents or representatives.

12.12 Non Funding Lender. The failure of any Lender to make an Advance (the “Non-Funding Lender”) on the date specified therefore shall not relieve any other Lender (each such other Lender, an “Other Lender”) of its obligations to make such Advance, but neither any Other Lender nor Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make an Advance or make any other payment required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, a Non-Funding Lender shall not have any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document or constitute a “Lender” for any voting or consent rights under or with respect to any Loan Document. At Borrower’s request, Agent or a Person acceptable to Agent shall have the right with Agent’s consent and in Agent’s reasonable discretion (but shall have no obligation) to purchase from any Non-Funding Lender, and each Non-Funding Lender agrees that it shall, at Agent’s request, sell and assign to Agent or such Person, all of the Commitments of that Non-Funding Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all portions of the Loan held by such Non-Funding Lender and all accrued interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale, such purchase and sale to be consummated pursuant to an executed Assignment Agreement.

12.13 Due Diligence. Upon reasonable advance notice and during regular business hours, Borrower agrees to promptly provide the Lenders with access to, copies of and extracts from any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information (including, without limitation, any of the foregoing in computer data banks and computer software systems) relating to its financial condition, and/or the performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents. In addition, upon reasonable advance notice and during regular business hours, the Lenders have the right to perform continuing due diligence reviews of Borrower, and its directors, officers and employees, including, without limitation, its financial condition and performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents. Upon reasonable advance notice and during regular business hours, Borrower shall also make available to the Lenders and Agent a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Collateral (subject, however, to the reasonable availability of such officer). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders shall make the Advance to Borrower based solely upon the information provided by Borrower to the Lenders and Agent and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that the Lenders and Agent, at their option, have the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Collateral. Borrower shall pay Lenders’ and Agent’s out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lenders and Agent in connection with any due diligence hereunder subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.7 hereof. Except following and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the rights granted under this Section 12.13 (or any similar or parallel rights) shall not be exercisable more than twice during any period of twelve consecutive months.

ANNEX II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO PLEDGED SHARES

(a) Compliance with Applicable Laws. All of the Pledged Shares have been validly issued, and the Pledged Shares have been offered, issued and sold in compliance with all applicable laws.

(b) No Encumbrances. Borrower is not party to or bound by (i) any outstanding rights, options, warrants or agreements for a purchase, sale or issuance of the Pledged Shares, (ii) any agreement to issue, sell or distribute the Pledged Shares, or (iii) any agreement (contingent or otherwise) to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any securities or any interest therein or to pay any dividend or make any distribution in respect of the Pledged Shares.

(d) First Priority Security Interest; Security Entitlement. The Pledged Shares and the other Collateral are unencumbered (except for Permitted Liens), and this Agreement, together with the filing of a financing statement naming Borrower as “debtor” and Agent as “secured party” and describing the Pledged Shares as the “collateral”, will create a valid first priority perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) in such collateral in favor of Agent in accordance with its terms against all creditors of Borrower and any Persons purporting to purchase such collateral from Borrower.

(e) Validity of Company LLC Agreement. The Company LLC Agreement and any other agreement executed and delivered in connection with the Membership Interest are genuine, and each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and the application of principles of equity, which may limit the availability of equitable remedies (whether in a proceeding at law or in equity). NCI had legal capacity to enter into the Company LLC Agreement and the Company LLC Agreement constitutes a legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of NCI, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by Debtor Relief Laws and the application of principles of equity, which may limit the availability of equitable remedies (whether in a proceeding at law or in equity). The Company LLC Agreement is in full force and effect, and the enforceability of the Company LLC Agreement has not been contested by NCI or, to best of Borrower’s knowledge, any other Person.

(f) Original Terms Unmodified. Except as reflected therein, the terms of the Company LLC Agreement have not been impaired, altered or modified in any respect.

(g) No Defaults. There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Company LLC Agreement, and no event has occurred that, with the passage of time or giving of notice or both and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration thereunder, and NCI has not waived any such default, breach, violation or event of acceleration.
