ARTICLE 2. REVOLVING CREDIT LOANS
2.1 Revolving Credit Commitment. The Lender hereby agrees, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to lend to the Borrowers the maximum sum of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) (the “Revolving Credit Commitment”). The Revolving Credit Commitment shall be available to the Borrowers, subject to the limitations herein, in whole or part and from time to time until March 31, 2007, and any amounts borrowed may be repaid in whole or in part and reborrowed until such date. Each borrowing under the Revolving Credit Commitment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1, and shall be subject to the conditions of Article 5 hereof, and shall be in the initial principal amount of $100,000 or any integral multiple of $100,000 (a “Revolving Credit Loan”).
Each Revolving Credit Loan to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1 shall, at the election of the Borrowers, be made either in the form of (i) a Variable Rate Loan (individually, a “Variable Rate Loan” and collectively, the “Variable Rate Loans”) or (ii) a Eurodollar Rate Loan (individually, a “Eurodollar Rate Loan” and collectively, the “Eurodollar Rate Loans”); provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be permitted to have outstanding at any time more than a total of eight (8) Eurodollar Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Portions of the Term Loan, except as otherwise permitted by the Lender in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be in the initial principal amount of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $100,000. The aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Variable Rate Loans and the Eurodollar Rate Loans at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment.
Each Revolving Credit Loan shall be made pursuant to the request of the Borrowers to the Lender which request for a Revolving Credit Loan shall specify (i) the total amount of the Revolving Credit Loan; (ii) the borrowing date (the “Borrowing Date”), which shall be a Business Day in the case of a Variable Rate Loan and a Eurodollar Banking Day in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan; and (iii) whether the Revolving Credit Loan is to be a Variable Rate Loan or a
K-5
Eurodollar Rate Loan (and in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the length of the Interest Period). Requests for Variable Rate Loans may be made on the applicable Borrowing Date. Requests for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made at least three (3) Eurodollar Banking Days prior to the applicable Borrowing Date.
In the case of a request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Lender shall not later than 11:00 a.m., Columbus, Ohio time two (2) Eurodollar Banking Days prior to the Borrowing Date, give notice to the Borrowers of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (including information as to the calculation thereof) applicable for the period requested by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall not later than 11:00 a.m., Columbus, Ohio time one (1) Eurodollar Banking Day prior to the Borrowing Date, give notice by telephone confirmed in writing to the Lender whether they wish (i) to complete such borrowing in the form of a Eurodollar Rate Loan; (ii) to complete such borrowing as a Variable Rate Loan; or (iii) to cancel their request for a Revolving Credit Loan. Failure by the Borrowers to timely deliver such notice shall constitute cancellation of such request.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the parties understand and agree that if and to the extent the Borrowers participate in Lender’s cash management program, Revolving Credit Loans shall be automatically disbursed and repaid on a daily basis based on the cash deposits and disbursements in the Borrowers’ accounts with the Lender.
2.2 Conversion Options. The Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert $1,000,000 or any amount in excess thereof in any integral multiple of $100,000 of the Variable Rate Loans then outstanding to Eurodollar Rate Loans by giving the Lender irrevocable telephone notice of such election as provided in this Section 2.2. Each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall automatically convert to a Variable Rate Loan upon its maturity unless the Borrowers elect to continue such Loan as a Eurodollar Rate Loan by giving the Lender irrevocable telephone notice of such election as provided in this Section 2.2. Any such notice pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be received by the Lender at least three (3) Eurodollar Banking Days prior to the proposed conversion date, which shall be a Eurodollar Banking Day, and shall specify (i) the conversion date and (ii) the length of the Interest Period. If no Event of Default then exists, such conversion shall be made on the requested conversion date.
2.3 Revolving Credit Note. The Revolving Credit Commitment shall be evidenced by a master amended and restated promissory note (the “Revolving Credit Note”) of the Borrowers executed by duly authorized officers thereof, which shall be in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. Each Revolving Credit Loan made by the Lender and each payment made on account of principal on the Revolving Credit Note shall be recorded by the Lender; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to make such notation shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under the Revolving Credit Note or this Agreement. The Revolving Credit Note shall amend and restate, and be in substitution for, the Original Revolving Credit Note and shall include the following terms:
(a) Term. The Revolving Credit Note shall be dated as of the date of this Agreement and shall be due and payable in full on or before March 31, 2007.
K-6
(b) Interest Rate on Variable Rate Loans. From its date, each Variable Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a Business Year) on the unpaid principal balance at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as determined in accordance with Section 2.3(d)(iv), below). Any change in the interest rate due to a change in the Prime Rate shall be effective immediately upon and after the date of each such change in the Prime Rate.
Interest on the Variable Rate Loans shall be payable monthly on the first day of each calendar month (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on the first day of the month following the initial disbursement of the initial Revolving Credit Loan.
(c) Interest Rate on Eurodollar Rate Loans. From its date, each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest during the period from the date thereof until and including the maturity date thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as determined in accordance with Section 2.3(d)(i), below). The Borrowers shall be obligated to pay with respect to each Eurodollar Rate Loan such additional amounts as shall be determined pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof.
Interest on each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be payable (i) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans having an Interest Period of 30, 60 or 90 days, on the expiration of such Interest Period, and (ii) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans having a maturity of 180 or 360 days, on the first day of each March, June, September and December that such Eurodollar Rate Loan is outstanding and upon expiration of such Interest Period. Interest on all Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a Business Year.
(d) Applicable Margin. For purposes of Sections 2.3 and 3.2 hereof, the “Applicable Margin” shall be determined as follows:
(i) The Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be two percent (2.00%);
(ii) The Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Portions of the Term Loan shall be two and one-half percent (2.50%);
(iii) The Applicable Margin for purposes of the Variable Term Rate applicable to the Variable Rate Portion of the Term Loan shall be zero percent (0.0%); and
(iv) The Applicable Margin for Variable Rate Loans shall be negative one-half percent (-.50%).
(e) Optional Repayments. Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans may be repaid in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty, in principal amounts not less than the minimum Revolving Credit Loan for any borrowing under Section 2.1, or any larger amount permitted thereunder, by tender of payment and delivery of written, telegraphic or oral notice of payment to the Lender not later than 1:30 p.m., Columbus, Ohio
K-7
time, on the Business Day on which such repayment is to be made. Payments received after 1:30 p.m. shall be deemed tendered on the following Business Day. Interest accrued to the date of payment shall be due and payable on the next following Interest Payment Date unless the Revolving Credit Note is paid in full, in which event, accrued interest shall become due and payable on the payment date.
2.4 Cancellation and Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitment. The Borrowers shall be entitled to permanently reduce or cancel the Revolving Credit Commitment from time to time upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the Lender. In the event of cancellation of the Revolving Credit Commitment, the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Note shall be paid in full, together with all accrued interest thereon, any unpaid Commitment Fee accrued to the date of cancellation, and all other amounts owing to the Lender by the Borrowers hereunder with respect to any Revolving Credit Loans. In the event of the permanent reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitment to a level which is less than the then outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Note, the Revolving Credit Note shall be prepaid at the time of such reduction in an amount equal to the then excess of the Revolving Credit Note over the Revolving Credit Commitment as so reduced. Accrued interest on the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Note repaid shall be included in the interest due and payable on the next Interest Payment Date.
2.5 Use of Funds. Revolving Credit Loans shall be used for the working capital requirements of the Borrowers and may be used to pay a portion of the Xxxxxxx Purchase Price (including, without limitation, any post-closing adjustment payments that may be required under Section 2.4 of the Xxxxxxx Purchase Agreement) and the Related Transaction Expenses.
2.6 Additional Provisions and Limitations Relating to Eurodollar Rate Loans. The additional provisions and limitations set forth below shall apply with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans:
(a) In the event the Lender shall incur any loss, cost or reasonable expense (including, without limitation, any loss, cost or reasonable expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired or contracted to be acquired by the Lender to fund or maintain or the relending or reinvesting of such deposits or other funds or amounts paid or prepaid to the Lender) as a result (i) of any payment or prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the then applicable Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan for any reason or (ii) any failure by the Borrowers to borrow funds as a Eurodollar Rate Loan after they have given a notice of election with respect thereto for any reason, whether before or after default, and whether or not such payment is required by any provisions of this Agreement; then, within three (3) days after receipt of the written demand of the Lender, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender such amount as will reimburse the Lender for such loss, cost or expense. If the Lender requests such a reimbursement, it shall provide to the Borrowers at the time of demand a certificate setting forth the computation of the loss, cost or expense giving rise to the request for reimbursement in reasonable detail and such certificate shall be conclusive if reasonably determined, absent manifest error.
K-8
(b) If the Lender shall, in good faith, determine that it is unable to reasonably ascertain the Eurodollar Rate or to acquire Eurodollar deposits on reasonable terms in an amount sufficient to meet a request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers. In such event, the Borrowers may request a Variable Rate Loan of like amount without regard to the notice requirement of Section 2.1 or may cancel such request.
(c) The obligation of the Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder shall be suspended in the event that any change in any law or regulation or in any interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with its administration shall, in the sole opinion of the Lender, make it unlawful for the Lender to comply with its obligation to make or maintain any Eurodollar Rate Loan hereunder for the duration of such illegality. The Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers of such suspension, and, if and when, in the sole opinion of the Lender, such illegality ceases to exist, such suspension shall cease and the Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the termination of such suspension.
(d) If the Lender has Eurodollar Rate Loans outstanding and there shall occur any change in applicable law, regulation or interpretation (including any request, guideline or policy not having the force of law by any authority charged with the administration or interpretation thereof) (i) which change directly affects transactions in Eurodollars, (ii) which involves new or additional taxes, reserves or deposit requirements in regard to the Eurodollar Rate Loans or changes in the basis of taxation of payments on such Loans, or (iii) which, if the Eurodollar Rate Loans made hereunder by the Lender were to have been matched with Eurodollar deposits corresponding in amounts to such Eurodollar Rate Loans and having maturity dates which are the same as such Eurodollar Rate Loans regardless of whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loans are in fact so matched, increases the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining the Eurodollar Rate Loans hereunder or reduces the amount of any payments (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) receivable by the Lender as to any Eurodollar Rate Loans or requires the Lender to make any payment on or calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum received by it as to such Eurodollar Rate Loans, then where the amount of any such additional cost, reduction or payment is deemed material by the Lender:
(i) the Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the occurrence of such event;
(ii) the Lender shall promptly deliver to the Borrowers a certificate stating the change which has occurred, together with the date thereof and the amount of and the manner of calculating the increased cost on any outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan; and
(iii) upon receipt of such certificate from the Lender, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender on demand the amount or amounts of such additional cost with respect to such outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loan as additional compensation hereunder.

(e) The certificate of the Lender delivered to the Borrowers as to the additional amount payable pursuant to Section 2.6(d) shall (in the absence of manifest error in the transmission or calculation) be conclusive evidence of the amount thereof. The protection of this Section 2.6(e) shall be available to the Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability of the law, regulation or condition which has been imposed. However, if the Borrowers have made a payment of any additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.6(d) and any subsequent event occurs which reduces the amount of the increased cost incurred by the Lender, then the Lender shall promptly refund to the Borrowers an amount equal to such reduction in the amount of increased cost.
(f) In addition to the other amounts payable hereunder, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lender such additional amounts as shall compensate the Lender for increased costs which the Lender, in its sole discretion, reasonably determines in good faith to be allocable to Eurodollar Rate Loans. Additional amounts payable under this Section 2.6(f) shall be paid by the Borrowers to the Lender on the maturity of the respective Eurodollar Rate Loans, subject to receipt by the Borrowers from the Lender of a certificate showing the amount and certifying as to the correctness thereof.
2.7 Letters of Credit. The Lender has issued, and in the Lender’s sole discretion may hereafter issue from time to time, certain letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) for the account of one or more of the Borrowers. It is the intention of the Borrowers and the Lender that the Letters of Credit become and shall be a part of the Revolving Credit Commitment. Therefore, upon any draws under the Letters of Credit, the amount of any such draw shall be treated as a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder and shall be subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, the Revolving Credit Note and the other Loan Documents.
3.1 Term Loan Amount. The Lender hereby agrees on the terms and conditions of this Agreement to lend to the Borrowers the maximum sum of Forty Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and 00/100 Cents ($40,500,000) (the “Term Loan”).
3.2 Term Note. The Term Loan shall be evidenced by an amended and restated promissory note of the Borrowers executed by duly authorized officers thereof (the “Term Note”), which Term Note shall be in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto with blanks appropriately completed. The Term Note shall amend and restate, and be in substitution for, the Original Term Note and shall include the following terms:
(a) Term. The Term Note shall be dated as of the date of its execution and delivery by the Borrowers and shall be due and payable in full on or before March 31, 2010.
(b) Variable Rate Portions. The unpaid principal balance of the Term Note, other than the Eurodollar Rate Portions thereof, shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a Business Year) at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as determined in accordance with
K-10
Section 2.3(d)(iii), above) (the “Variable Term Rate”). The portion of the indebtedness evidenced by the Term Note that bears interest at the Variable Term Rate is referred to herein as the “Variable Rate Portion.” Any change in the interest rate due to a change in the Prime Rate shall be effective immediately from and after the date of each such change in the Prime Rate.
(c) Eurodollar Rate Portions. The Borrowers may elect from time to time to have portions of the principal indebtedness evidenced by the Term Note (each a “Eurodollar Rate Portion”) bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin (as determined in accordance with Section 2.3(d)(ii), above) (the “Adjusted Eurodollar Term Rate”) by providing a request therefor to the Lender not less than three (3) Eurodollar Banking Days prior to the applicable Effective Date for each such Eurodollar Rate Portion, which request shall specify: (i) the total amount of the Eurodollar Rate Portion; (ii) the effective date of the applicable Adjusted Eurodollar Term Rate (the “Effective Date”), which shall be a Eurodollar Banking Day, and (iii) the length of the applicable Interest Period. The Lender shall not later than 11:00 a.m., Columbus, Ohio time, two (2) Eurodollar Banking Days prior to the Effective Date for such Eurodollar Rate Portion, give notice to the Borrowers of the applicable Adjusted Eurodollar Term Rate (including information as to the calculation thereof) applicable for the period requested by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall not later than 11:00 a.m., Columbus, Ohio time, one (1) Eurodollar Banking Day prior to the Effective Date of each Eurodollar Rate Portion give notice by telephone to the Lender as to whether or not they wish to elect to have such Eurodollar Rate Portion bear interest at the applicable Adjusted Eurodollar Term Rate commencing as of the applicable Effective Date. In the event the Borrowers elect not to have such Eurodollar Rate Portion bear interest at the applicable Adjusted Eurodollar Term Rate or fail to timely deliver such notice of election, such Eurodollar Rate Portion shall continue to bear interest at the Variable Term Rate until the Borrowers elect otherwise in accordance with provisions of this paragraph. Upon the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to each Eurodollar Rate Portion, such Eurodollar Rate Portion shall, unless the Borrowers have otherwise elected in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, bear interest at the Variable Term Rate. Each Eurodollar Rate Portion shall be in the initial amount of $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $100,000. Each election to have a Eurodollar Rate Portion bear interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Term Rate shall be recorded by the Lender; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to make such recordation shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under the Term Note. Each Eurodollar Rate Portion shall bear interest during the Interest Period selected therefor at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin. The Borrowers shall be obligated to pay with respect to each Eurodollar Rate Portion such additional amounts as shall be determined pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof.
(d) Interest Payment Dates.
(i) Variable Rate Portion. Interest on the Variable Rate Portion shall be payable monthly on each Interest Payment Date, commencing on the first Interest Payment Date following the date of issuance of the Term Note.
K-11
(ii) Eurodollar Rate Portions. Interest on each Eurodollar Rate Portion shall be payable (i) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Portions having an Interest Period of 30, 60 or 90 days, on the expiration of such Interest Period, and (ii) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Portions having an Interest Period of 180 or 360 days, on the first day of each March, June, September and December during such Interest Period and upon expiration of such Interest Period. Interest on all Eurodollar Rate Portions shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a Business Year.
(e) Principal Payments. Principal payments on the Term Note shall be due and payable as follows: (i) fifty-nine (59) equal consecutive monthly installments in the amount of $675,000 each shall be due and payable commencing on May 1, 2005 and continuing on each Interest Payment Date thereafter to and including March 1, 2010; and (ii) one final payment in the amount of the unpaid principal balance of the Term Note and accrued, unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on March 31, 2010.
3.3 Optional Prepayments. The outstanding principal balance of the Term Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty, in principal amounts not less than the minimum Eurodollar Rate Portion for any borrowing under Section 3.2(c) (provided that prepayments of the Variable Term Rate Portion may be made in the amount of $100,000 or more), or any larger amount permitted thereunder, by tender of payment and delivery of written, telegraphic or oral notice of payment to the Lender not later than 1:30 p.m., Columbus, Ohio time, on the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made.

Interest accrued to the date of payment shall be due and payable on the next following Interest Payment Date unless the Term Note is paid in full, in which event, accrued interest shall become due and payable on the payment date.
3.4 Additional Provisions and Limitations Relating to Eurodollar Rate Portions. The additional provisions and limitations set forth below shall apply to Eurodollar Rate Portions:
(a) If the Lender shall, in good faith, determine that it is unable to reasonably ascertain the Adjusted Eurodollar Term Rate for a particular Eurodollar Rate Portion or to acquire Eurodollar deposits on reasonable terms in an amount sufficient to meet a request for a portion of the total indebtedness evidenced by the Term Note to bear interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Term Rate, the Lender shall promptly notify the Borrowers. In such event, such Eurodollar Rate Portion shall bear interest at the Variable Term Rate.
(b) The provisions of Sections 2.6(a) and 2.6(c) through (f), inclusive, shall be applicable to each Eurodollar Rate Portion to the same extent as if such provisions were restated in full in this Section 3.4(b) with the terms “Eurodollar Rate Loan(s)” and “Variable Rate Loan” replaced each time they appear therein with the terms “Eurodollar Rate Portion(s)” and “Variable Rate Portion”, respectively.

(c) Any payments under this Section 3.5 received after 1:30 p.m. shall be deemed tendered on the following Business Day.

All financial projections (if any) delivered to the Lender in connection herewith have been prepared on the basis of the assumptions stated therein. Such projections represent the Borrowers’ good faith estimate of the Borrowers’ future financial performance and, while there can be no assurance that the performance set forth in such projections will approximate actual performance, such projections are believed by the Borrowers to be fair in light of current business conditions.

6.18 Projections and Pro Forma Financial Statements.
(a) Attached hereto as Exhibit J are true and complete copies of the latest projections of the consolidated income and cash flows the Borrowers for the five (5) Fiscal Years ending through December 31, 2009. Such projections are based on underlying assumptions of the Borrowers which, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, provide a reasonable basis for the projections contained therein. Such projections have been prepared on the basis of the assumptions set forth therein, which assumptions are, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, fair and reasonable in light of the historical financial performance of the Borrowers and of current and reasonably foreseeable business conditions, as of the date hereof, and reflect the reasonable estimate of the Borrowers, as of the date hereof, of the results of operations and other information projected therein.
(b) The pro forma projected consolidated balance sheets of the Borrowers as of January 31, 2005, attached hereto as Exhibit I, are complete and correct in all material respects and present fairly in all material respects the respective consolidated financial conditions of the Borrowers as of such date as if the transactions contemplated by the Xxxxxxx Purchase Agreement, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Transaction Documents had occurred immediately prior to such date, and such balance sheets contain all pro forma adjustments necessary in order to fairly reflect such assumption.
6.19 Xxxxxxx Purchase Agreement.
(a) The transactions contemplated by the Xxxxxxx Purchase Agreement have been consummated substantially in accordance with the respective terms and conditions thereof, except for waivers of conditions consented to by Octagon in writing (copies of which have heretofore been delivered to the Lender). The Xxxxxxx Purchase Agreement has not been altered or amended or any condition thereof waived in a manner adverse to any Borrower without its prior written consent (copies of which have heretofore been delivered to the Lender).
(b) To the knowledge of the Borrowers, each of the representations and warranties made by Seller in the Xxxxxxx Purchase Agreement on the dates referenced therein is true and correct in all material respects.
6.20 Certain Assurances. CHSI is certified by the State of Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (the “OBWC”) and similar agencies in other states where the Borrowers conduct business, and such certifications are in full force and effect. The OBWC Contracts are in full force
K-23
and effect and neither the Company nor any of the other Borrowers have received any indications, whether written or oral, of alleged breaches of, or OBWC’s intent to terminate, or not to renew, either such contract. CHSI has not been notified that it is “at capacity” under either OBWC Contract by the OBWC, nor has CHSI received indications that the OBWC is intending, in any way, to limit, in any material manner, CHSI’s ability to accept new enrollments under either OBWC Contract. The Borrowers are not aware of any changes or potential changes to the system of workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance or the Ohio Health Partnership Plan or the Qualified Health Plan (each as defined in the HPI Merger Agreement) that would have a Material Adverse Effect. The foregoing representations and warranties under this Section 6.21 are given as of the date hereof. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the HPI Merger Agreement did not constitute a “change in the MCO organizational structure or business operations”, as set forth in the OBWC Contracts.

This Agreement shall terminate at such time as the Revolving Credit Commitment is terminated in full and the Lender has received payment in full of all amounts owing to the Lender hereunder and under the Notes. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such parties; and all terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not; provided, however, that (i) no Borrower may assign or transfer
K-38
its rights or duties under this Agreement to any Person without the prior written consent of the Lender and (ii) the Lender may not assign, or participate, this Agreement or the Notes to a direct competitor of the Borrowers.
10.3 No Implied Rights or Waivers. No notice to or demand on any Borrower in any case shall entitle such Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar and other circumstances. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Notes shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of the same or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
10.4 Applicable Law. This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be contracts made under and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State.

The Lender and the Borrowers, after having had the opportunity to consult with counsel, knowingly, voluntarily, irrevocably, unconditionally and intentionally waive any right to a trial by jury in any litigation based upon or arising out of this Agreement or any related instrument or agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any course of conduct, dealing, statements (whether oral or written) or actions of any Borrower or the Lender. The Borrowers shall not seek to consolidate, by counterclaim or otherwise, any action in which a jury trial has been waived with any other action in which a jury trial cannot be or has not been waived. In the event of a dispute under this Agreement, the Borrowers hereby, jointly and severally, agree that jurisdiction and venue lies in a court of competent jurisdiction in Franklin County, Ohio. These provisions shall not be deemed to have been modified in any respect or relinquished by the Lender except by a written instrument executed by it. This provision is a material inducement to the Lender to enter into the transactions described in this Agreement.

10.13 Certificates, Etc.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person or entity that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management account, loan, other extension of credit or other financial services product. What this means for each Borrower: When such Borrower opens an account, if such Borrower is an individual, the Lender will ask for a Borrower’s name, taxpayer identification number, residential address, date of birth and other information that will allow the
K-40
Lender to identify such Borrower, and if such Borrower is not an individual, the Lender will ask for such Borrower’s name, taxpayer identification number, business address and other information that will allow the Lender to identify such Borrower. The Lender may also ask, if a Borrower is an individual, to see such Borrower’s driver’s license or other identifying documents, and if a Borrower is not an individual, to see such Borrower’s legal organizational documents or other identifying documents.
10.16 Indemnification. The Borrowers, jointly and severally, agree to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Lender, each of its affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and co-agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents, the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans, the Xxxxxxx Acquisition or the termination of the employment of any Management Investors or other employees or officers of any Borrower (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, that the Borrowers shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Matters caused by or resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, each of the Borrowers shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees.
