Amounts of Loans repaid may not be reborrowed.
2.02 Borrowing Procedures. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 6), each Borrowing (other than a Borrowing of PIK Loans) shall be made on written notice in the form of Exhibit B given by the Borrower to the Lenders not later than 11:00 a.m. (Central time) on the date required under Section 6.01(i) or 6.02(d), as applicable (a “Notice of Borrowing”).
23
2.03 Fees. On each Borrowing Date, the Borrower shall pay to each Lender a financing fee in an amount equal to 1.00% of the Loans advanced by such Lender on such Borrowing Date. Such financing fee, to be determined on a pro rata basis, will be deducted from the Loan proceeds advanced by Lenders to the Borrower on the applicable Borrowing Date.
2.04 Notes. If requested by any Lender, the Loans of such Lender shall be evidenced by one or more promissory notes (each a “Note”). The Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to the Lenders such promissory note(s) payable to the Lenders (or, if requested by the Lenders, to the Lenders and their registered assigns) and in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Thereafter, the Loans and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 12.05) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).
2.05 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans for general working capital and corporate purposes and to pay fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions; provided that the Lenders shall have no responsibility as to the use of any proceeds of Loans in the amount made by PIOP. No portion of any proceeds of Loans in the amount made by PIOP (i) will be used to acquire realty or to discharge an obligation relating to the prior acquisition of realty; (ii) will be used outside of the United States (except to pay for services to be rendered outside the United States and to acquire from abroad inventory, material and equipment or property rights for use or sale in the United States, unless prohibited by Part 107.720 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations); or (iii) will be used for any purpose contrary to the public interest (including but not limited to activities which are in violation of law) or inconsistent with free competitive enterprise, in each case, within the meaning of Part 107.720 of Title 13 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans in the amount made by PIOP for only those purposes specified in the SBA Form 1031 provided to the Lenders.
2.06 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:
(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 12.04.
(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Lenders for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11 or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as follows: first, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; second, if so determined by the Majority Lenders and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; third, to the
24
payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.06(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Majority Lenders agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Proportionate Share, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
2.07 Substitution of Lenders.
(a) Substitution Right. In the event that any Lender (an “Affected Lender”), (i) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (ii) does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any Loan Document for which the consent of the Majority Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of other Lenders (a “Non-Consenting Lender”), either (x) the Borrower may pay in full such Affected Lender with respect to all Obligations owing to such Affected Lender (but excluding any Prepayment Premium) or (y) such Affected Lender may be substituted by any willing Lender or Affiliate of any Lender or Eligible Transferee (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”); provided that any substitution of a Non-Consenting Lender shall occur only with the reasonable consent of Majority Lenders.
(b) Procedure. To substitute such Affected Lender or pay in full the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender, the Borrower shall deliver a notice to such Affected Lender. The effectiveness of such payment or substitution shall be subject to the delivery by the Borrower (or, as may be applicable in the case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) of (i) payment for the account of such Affected Lender, of, to the extent accrued through, and outstanding on, the effective date for such payment or substitution, all Obligations owing to such Affected Lender (but excluding any Prepayment Premium) and (ii) in the case of a substitution, an Assignment and Acceptance whereby the Substitute Lender shall, among other things, agree to be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents.
25
(c) Effectiveness. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.07(a) and (b), the Control Agent shall record such substitution or payment in the Register, whereupon (i) in the case of any payment in full of an Affected Lender pursuant to Section 2.07(b)(i), such Affected Lender’s Commitments shall be terminated and (ii) in the case of any substitution of an Affected Lender, (A) such Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of, and the Substitute Lender shall purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents, except that (1) the Affected Lender shall retain such rights expressly providing that they survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments and (2) a Non-Consenting Lender shall be permitted to retain any Warrants issued to such Non-Consenting Lender, (B) such Substitute Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder and (C) such Affected Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such substitution; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute any such Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (or the corresponding assignment) invalid.
SECTION 3
PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
3.01 Repayment.
(a) Repayment. During the Interest-Only Period, no payments of principal of the Loans shall be due. Borrower agrees to repay to the Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, on each Payment Date occurring after the Interest-Only Period, in equal installments.

26
not paid when due under the applicable Loan Document, the amount thereof shall accrue interest at a rate equal to 4.00% per annum (without duplication of interest payable at the Post-Default Rate).

(d) Paid In-Kind Interest. Notwithstanding Section 3.02(a), at any time during the PIK Period, the Borrower may elect to pay the interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable pursuant to Section 3.02 as follows: (i) only 7.50% of the 11.00% per annum interest in cash and (ii) 3.50% of the 11.00% per annum interest as compounded interest, added to the aggregate principal amount of the Loans on the last day of each Interest Period (the amount of any such compounded interest being a “PIK Loan”). Each PIK Loan shall be evidenced by a Note delivered pursuant to Section 2.04 for the applicable Borrowing in respect thereof. The principal amount of each PIK Loan shall accrue interest in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Loans.
3.03 Prepayments.
(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right optionally to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in whole or in part on any Payment Date (a “Redemption Date”) for an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Loans being prepaid plus the Prepayment Premium plus any accrued but unpaid interest and any fees which are due and owing (such aggregate amount, the “Redemption Price”).
(i) Subject to Section 2.07 and 10.01(b)(ii), if the Redemption Date occurs:
(A) on or prior to the fourth Payment Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be an amount equal to 5.00% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans being prepaid on such Redemption Date;
(B) after the fourth Payment Date, and on or prior to the eighth Payment Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be an amount equal to 4.00% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans being prepaid on such Redemption Date;
(C) after the eighth Payment Date, and on or prior to the twelfth Payment Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be an amount equal to 3.00% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans being prepaid on such Redemption Date;
(D) after the twelfth Payment Date, and on or prior to the sixteenth Payment Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be an amount equal to 2.00% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans being prepaid on such Redemption Date;
27
(E) after the sixteenth Payment Date, and on or prior to the twentieth Payment Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be an amount equal to 1.00% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans being prepaid on such Redemption Date; and
(F) after the twentieth Payment Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be an amount equal to 0.00% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans being prepaid on such Redemption Date.
(ii) To determine the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans, and how many Payment Dates have occurred, as of any Redemption Date for purposes of Section 3.03(a)(i):
(A) if, as of such Redemption Date, the Borrower shall have made only one Borrowing, the number of Payment Dates shall be deemed to be the number of Payment Dates that shall have occurred following the first Borrowing Date;
(B) if, as of such Redemption Date, the Borrower shall have made two Borrowings, then the Redemption Price shall be calculated as the sum of two amounts: (x) a Redemption Price calculated based on solely the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans that have been borrowed in the initial Borrowing (and PIK Loans subsequently borrowed in respect of interest payments thereon), as though the applicable number of Payment Dates equals the number of Payment Dates that shall have occurred following the first Borrowing Date, and (y) a Redemption Price calculated based on solely the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans that have been borrowed in the second Borrowing (and PIK Loans subsequently borrowed in respect of interest payments thereon), as though the applicable number of Payment Dates equals the number of Payment Dates that shall have occurred following the second Borrowing Date. In the case of any partial prepayment, the amount of such prepayment shall be allocated first to Loans drawn in the initial Borrowing (and PIK Loans in respect thereof), and then to Loans drawn in the second Borrowing (and PIK Loans in respect thereof); and
(C) if, as of such Redemption Date, the Borrower shall have made three Borrowings, then the Redemption Price shall be calculated as the sum of three amounts: (x) a Redemption Price calculated based on solely the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans that have been borrowed in the initial Borrowing (and PIK Loans subsequently borrowed in respect of interest payments thereon), as though the applicable number of Payment Dates equals the number of Payment Dates that shall have occurred following the first Borrowing Date, (y) a Redemption Price calculated based on solely the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans that have been borrowed in the second Borrowing (and PIK Loans subsequently borrowed in respect of interest payments thereon), as though the applicable number of Payment Dates equals the number of Payment Dates that shall have occurred following the second Borrowing Date, and (z) a Redemption Price calculated based on solely the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans that have been borrowed in the third Borrowing (and PIK Loans subsequently borrowed in respect of interest payments thereon), as though the applicable number of Payment Dates equals the number of Payment Dates that shall have occurred following the third Borrowing Date. In the case of any partial prepayment, the amount of such prepayment shall be allocated first to Loans drawn in the initial Borrowing (and PIK
28
Loans in respect thereof), then to Loans drawn in the second Borrowing (and PIK Loans in respect thereof), and then to Loans drawn in the third Borrowing (and PIK Loans in respect thereof).
(iii) On or prior to the Redemption Date, the Lenders may notify Borrower of a reduction in the amounts due under Section 3.03(a)(i) with respect to any portion of the Loans held by any entity licensed by the SBA as an SBIC.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments.
(i) Asset Sales. In the event of any contemplated Asset Sale not permitted under Section 9.09, the Borrower shall provide 10 days’ prior written notice of such Asset Sale to the Lenders and, if within such notice period Majority Lenders advise the Borrower that a prepayment is required pursuant to this Section 3.03(b)(i), the Borrower shall: (x) if the assets sold represent substantially all of the assets or revenues of the Borrower, or represent any specific line of business which either on its own or together with other lines of business sold over the term of this Agreement account for Revenue generated by such lines of business exceeding 10% of the Revenue of the Borrower in the immediately preceding year (in each case, other than with respect to Asset Sales in connection with or pursuant to Specified Licensing Arrangements), prepay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to the Redemption Price applicable on the date of such Asset Sale in accordance with Section 3.03(a), and (y) in the case of all other Asset Sales (including, without limitation, all Asset Sales in connection with or pursuant to Specified Licensing Arrangements) not permitted by Section 9.09 and not described in the foregoing clause (x), prepay the Loans in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans in an amount equal to the Redemption Price applicable on the date of such Asset Sale in accordance with Section 3.03(a) and (b) the entire amount of the Asset Sale Net Proceeds of such Asset Sale, plus any accrued but unpaid interest and any fees which are due and owing, credited in the following order:
(A) first, in reduction of the Borrower’s obligation to pay any unpaid interest and any fees which are due and owing;
(B) second, in reduction of the Borrower’s obligation to pay any Claims or Losses referred to in Section 12.03;
(C) third, in reduction of the Borrower’s obligation to pay any amounts due and owing on account of the unpaid principal amount of the Loans;
(D) fourth, in reduction of any other Obligation; and
(E) fifth, to the Borrower or such other Persons as may lawfully be entitled to or directed by the Borrower to receive the remainder.

compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01. Before giving any such notice pursuant to this Section 5.01(c) such Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation (x) will, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and (y) will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of the Lender claiming compensation under this Section 5.01, setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to constitute a change in Requirements of Law for all purposes of this Section 5, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

5.03 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that on or after the date hereof the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any competent Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful for a Lender or its lending office to make or maintain the Loans (and, in the opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different lending office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof following which (a) the Lender’s Commitment shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain the Loans hereunder and (b) if such Requirement of Law shall so mandate, the Loans shall be prepaid by the Borrower on or before such date as shall be mandated by such Requirement of Law in an amount equal to the Redemption Price applicable on the date of such prepayment in accordance with Section 3.03(a).

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of each Lender, timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Status of Lenders.
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall timely deliver to the Borrower such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding; provided that, other than in the case of U.S. Federal withholding Taxes, such Lender has received written notice from the Borrower advising it of the availability of such exemption or reduction and containing all applicable documentation. In addition, any Lender shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law as reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.05(e)(ii)(A), (B) or (D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person:
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on

or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form);
(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form); or
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9 (or successor form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D) any Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower any forms and information necessary to establish that the Foreign Lender is not subject to withholding tax under FATCA.
34
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.05(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.05(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 5.05(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g) Mitigation Obligations. If the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.01 or this Section 5.05, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if, in the sole reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation would (i) eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or this Section 5.05, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (iii) not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.

50
taxes, fees, assessments or governmental charges or levies, or such claims are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and are adequately reserved against in accordance with GAAP and (ii) all lawful claims which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien upon its property not constituting a Permitted Lien. Parent and Borrower will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to discharge all Indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness.

Parent and Borrower will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies, insurance in such amounts and against such risks as are customarily maintained by companies engaged in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations.

The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure, or cause others to ensure, that all insurance policies required under this Section 8.05 shall provide that they shall not be terminated or cancelled nor shall any such policy be materially changed in a manner adverse to the Borrower without at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Borrower and the Lenders. Receipt of notice of termination or cancellation of any such insurance policies or reduction of coverages or amounts thereunder shall entitle the Lenders to renew any such policies, cause the coverages and amounts thereof to be maintained at levels required pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8.05 or otherwise to obtain similar insurance in place of such policies, in each case at the expense of the Borrower.

8.07 Compliance with Laws and Other Obligations. Parent and Borrower will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, (i) comply in all material respects with all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any Governmental Authority applicable to it or its property (including Environmental Laws) and (ii) comply in all material respects with all terms of Indebtedness and all other Material Agreements, except, in each case, where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) Except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, Parent and Borrower shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, maintain and preserve all of its properties necessary or useful in the proper conduct of its business in good working order and condition in accordance with the general practice of other Persons of similar character and size, ordinary wear and tear and damage from casualty or condemnation excepted.
(b) Without limiting the generality of clause (a) above, Borrower shall comply with each of the following covenants with respect to the Borrower Lease:
(i) Borrower shall diligently perform and timely observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Borrower Lease on the part of Borrower to be performed and observed prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period therein provided and do everything necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired and in full force and effect the Borrower Lease except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(ii) Borrower shall promptly notify Lenders of the giving of any written notice by Borrower Landlord to Borrower of any default by Borrower thereunder that would allow the Borrower Landlord to terminate the Borrower Lease, and promptly deliver to Lenders a true copy of each such notice. If Borrower shall be in default under the Borrower Lease that would allow the Borrower Landlord to terminate the Borrower Lease, to the extent the Borrower fails to do so within thirty (30) days, following written notice to the Borrower, Lenders shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cause the default or defaults under the Borrower Lease to be remedied and otherwise exercise any and all rights of Borrower under the Borrower Lease, as may be necessary to prevent or cure any default and Lenders shall have the right to enter all or any portion of the Property, at such times and in such manner as Lenders reasonably deem necessary, to prevent or to cure any such default. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent Lenders desire to cure such default or defaults as provided above, Borrower shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lenders such instruments as may reasonably be required of Borrower to permit Lenders to cure any default under the Borrower Lease or permit Lenders to take such other action required to enable Lenders to cure or remedy the matter in default and preserve the security interest of Lenders under the Loan Documents with respect to the Borrower Facility.
(iii) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, in a commercially reasonable manner, each covenant or obligation of the Borrower Landlord in the Borrower Lease in accordance with its terms. Subject to the terms and requirements of the Borrower Lease, within sixty (60) days after receipt of written request by Lenders, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the Borrower Landlord under the Borrower Lease and furnish to Lenders an estoppel certificate from Borrower Landlord stating the date through which rent has been paid and whether or not, to Borrower Landlord’s knowledge, there are any defaults thereunder and specifying the nature of such claimed defaults, if any, and such other matters as Lenders may reasonably request or in the form required pursuant to the terms of the Borrower Lease. Borrower shall furnish to Lenders all information
52
that Lenders may reasonably request from time to time in the possession of Borrower (or reasonably available to Borrower) concerning the Borrower Lease and Borrower’s compliance with the Borrower Lease.

Borrower shall promptly notify Lenders of any request to which it has Knowledge that any party to the Borrower Lease makes for arbitration or other dispute resolution procedure pursuant to the Borrower Lease and of the institution of any such arbitration or dispute resolution. Borrower hereby authorizes Lenders to attend any such arbitration or dispute, and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default participate in any such arbitration or dispute resolution but such participation shall not be to the exclusion of Borrower; provided, however, that, in any case, Borrower shall consult with Lenders with respect to the matters related thereto. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lenders a copy of the determination of each such arbitration or dispute resolution mechanism.
(v) Borrower shall promptly, after obtaining Knowledge of such filing notify Lenders orally of any filing by or against Borrower Landlord under the Borrower Lease of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable law. Borrower shall thereafter promptly give written notice of such filing to Lenders, setting forth any information available to Borrower as to the date of such filing, the court in which such petition was filed, and the relief sought in such filing. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lenders any and all notices, summonses, pleadings, applications and other documents received by Borrower in connection with any such petition and any proceedings relating to such petition.

Except where failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, Parent and Borrower shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, upon becoming aware of the presence of any Hazardous Materials or the existence of any environmental liability under applicable Environmental Laws with respect to their respective businesses, operations or properties, take all actions, at their cost and expense, as shall be necessary or advisable to investigate and clean up the condition of their respective businesses, operations or properties, including all required removal, containment and remedial actions, and restore their respective businesses, operations or properties to a condition in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws.
8.11 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans will be used only as provided in Section 2.05.

Subject to the following sentence, in the event that, at any time, Foreign Subsidiaries have, in the aggregate, (i) total revenues constituting 5% or more of the total revenues of Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, or (ii) total assets constituting 5% or more of the total assets of Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, promptly (and, in any event, within 30 days after such time) the Borrower shall cause one or more of such Foreign Subsidiaries to become Subsidiary Guarantors and to have their Equity Interests pledged, each in the manner set forth in Section 8.12(a), such that, after such Subsidiaries become Subsidiary Guarantors, the non-guarantor Foreign Subsidiaries in the aggregate shall cease to have revenues or assets, as applicable, that meet the thresholds set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor, xxxxx x xxxx on any of its assets in favor of the Lenders, or shall have its Equity Interests pledged to secure the Obligations, to the extent that becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor, granting a lien on any of its assets in favor of the Lenders or
54
providing such pledge would result in adverse tax consequences for Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; provided that, if a Foreign Subsidiary is precluded from becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor or having all of its Equity Interests pledged as a result of such adverse tax consequences, to the extent that such Foreign Subsidiary is a “first tier” Foreign Subsidiary, Borrower shall pledge (or cause to be pledged) 65% of the total number of the Equity Interests of such Foreign Subsidiary to the Lenders to secure the Obligations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and the Majority Lenders shall have elected to exercise such remedies described in clause (iii) of Section 11.02, Valeritas Security shall not be required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor or xxxxx x xxxx on any of its assets in favor of the Lenders to the extent that becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor or granting a lien on any of its assets in favor of the Lenders would result in adverse tax consequences for Valeritas Security, including as a result of Valeritas Security’s failure to qualify as a Massachusetts security corporation under Mass. Gen. L. c. 63, §38B.
(d) Parent. Subject to the relevant limitations and terms contained in the Security Documents, Parent shall take such action from time to time as shall be necessary to ensure that Parent is a “Guarantor” hereunder, and will:

(iii) deliver such proof of corporate action, incumbency of officers and other documents (other than legal opinions of counsel to the Obligors) as is consistent with those delivered by each Obligor pursuant to Section 6.01 or as the Majority Lenders shall have requested.

8.14 Intellectual Property.
(a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Lenders are not assuming any liability or obligation of the Borrower, the Guarantors or their Subsidiaries of whatever nature, whether presently in existence or arising or asserted hereafter, except to the extent required under applicable law in connection with any Intellectual Property license agreement of the Borrower, the Guarantors or their Subsidiaries in the event that the Lenders foreclose on such Collateral. All such liabilities and obligations shall be retained by and remain obligations and liabilities of the Obligors, the Guarantors and/or their Affiliates as the case may be, except to the extent required under applicable law in connection with any Intellectual Property license agreement of the Borrower, the Guarantors or their Affiliates in the event that the Lenders foreclose on such Collateral.

(b) In the event that the Obligors acquire Obligor Intellectual Property during the term of this Agreement, then the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto and any such Obligor Intellectual Property shall automatically constitute part of the Collateral hereunder, without further action by any party, in each case from and after the date of such acquisition (except that any representations or warranties of any Obligor shall apply to any such Obligor Intellectual Property only from and after the date, if any, subsequent to such acquisition that such representations and warranties are brought down or made anew as provided herein).
(c) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and deliver to the Lenders such duly executed Intellectual Property security agreements, following the Majority Lenders’ request therefor, with respect to foreign Intellectual Property, and take such other action as the Lenders may reasonably request to duly record or otherwise perfect the security interest created thereunder in that portion of the Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property located outside the United States.
56

(a) Borrower shall, with respect to the location leased by the Borrower pursuant to the Borrower Lease, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to the Lenders the Landlord Consent from the Borrower Landlord for such property, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11, in the event that the Borrower fails to comply with the covenants contained in Section 10.01(a) (such covenants for such applicable periods being the “Specified Financial Covenants”), Borrower shall have the right, within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year during the term of this Agreement:
(A) to issue additional shares of Equity Interests in exchange for cash (the “Equity Cure Right”), or
(B) to borrow Permitted Subordinated Debt (the “Subordinated Debt Cure Right” and, collectively with the Equity Cure Right, the “Cure Right”),
and the cash therefrom immediately shall be contributed as equity or debt (only as permitted pursuant to Section 9.01), as applicable, to Borrower, and upon the receipt by Borrower of the Cure Amount pursuant to the exercise of such Cure Right, such Cure Amount shall be deemed to constitute Revenue of Borrower for purposes of the Specified Financial Covenants and the Specified Financial Covenants shall be recalculated for all purposes under the Loan Documents. If, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculation, Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Specified Financial Covenants, Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Specified Financial Covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach of the Specified Financial Covenants that had occurred, the related Default and Event of Default, shall be deemed cured without any further action of Borrower or Lenders for all purposes under the Loan Documents.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) the net cash proceeds of the payment received by Borrower from investors investing in or lending to Borrower pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) shall be equal to twice the shortfall amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with the Specified Financial Covenants (such amount so received by Borrower, “Cure Amount”), (B) Borrower shall deliver a compliance certificate, evidencing compliance with the Specified Financial Covenants after giving effect to receipt of the Cure Amount and (C) upon receipt by Borrower of the Cure Amount, Borrower shall immediately prepay the Loans, without any Prepayment Premium, in an amount equal to the Cure Amount, credited in the order set forth on Section 3.03(b)(i)(A)-(E).

Parent, Borrower, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, advisors and controlling parties are each sometimes referred to in this Agreement as a “Borrower Party.” No Lender shall assert any claim against any Borrower Party, on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans.
12.04 Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived, modified or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower and the Lenders; provided that any consent, approval, (including without limitation any approval of or authorization for any amendment, waiver, modification or supplement to any of the Loan Documents), instruction or other expression of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents may be obtained by an instrument in writing signed in one or more counterparts by Majority Lenders; provided however, that the consent of all of the Lenders shall be required to:
(i) amend, modify, discharge, terminate or waive any of the terms of this Agreement if such amendment, modification, discharge, termination or waiver would increase the amount of the Loans, reduce the fees payable hereunder, reduce interest rates or other amounts payable with respect to the Loans, extend any date fixed for payment of principal, interest or other amounts payable relating to the Loans or extend the repayment dates of the Loans;
(ii) amend the provisions of Section 6;

12.05 Successors and Assigns.
(a) General. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
73
hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lenders. Any of the Lenders may assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.05(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.05(e) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 12.05(g). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 12.05(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnified Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any of the Lenders may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Transferees all or a portion of their rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) following written notice to the Borrower; provided, however, that no such assignment shall be made to Borrower, an Affiliate of Borrower, or any employees or directors of Parent or the Borrower at any time. Subject to the recording thereof by the Lenders pursuant to Sections 12.05(c) and 12.05(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement, and correspondingly the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5 and Section 12.03. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.05(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.05(e).
(c) Amendments to Loan Documents. To the extent that the Lender that is the Control Agent has made an assignment pursuant to Section 12.05(b) or to the extent necessary to reflect new Commitments on Schedule 1, each of the Lenders and the Obligors agrees to enter into such amendments to the Loan Documents, and such additional Security Documents and other instruments and agreements, in each case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Lenders and the Obligors, as shall reasonably be necessary to implement and give effect to any assignment made under this Section 12.05.
(d) Register. The Lenders, acting solely for this purpose as agents of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices, which shall be the office of the Control Agent, a register for the recordation of the name and address of any assignee of the Lenders and the Commitment and outstanding principal amount of the Loans owing thereto (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and Borrower may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
74
(e) Participations. Any of the Lenders may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or to any Person that would not constitute an Eligible Transferee) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lenders in connection therewith.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) increase or extend the term of such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, or (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive such interest. Subject to Section 12.05(f), Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.05(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.04(a) as though it were the Lender.
(f) Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or 5.05 than a 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.
(g) Certain Pledges. The Lenders may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any other Loan Document to secure obligations of the Lenders, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lenders from any of their obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lenders as a party hereto.

In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a notice of the Loans, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty.

(c) Waiver of Venue, Etc. Each Obligor irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and hereby further irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. A final judgment (in respect of which time for all appeals has elapsed) in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which such Obligor is or may be subject, by suit upon judgment.
12.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OBLIGOR AND EACH LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
76
12.12 Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that any Obligor may be or become entitled to claim for itself or its Property or revenues any immunity on the ground of sovereignty or the like from suit, court jurisdiction, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment or execution of a judgment, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed such an immunity (whether or not claimed), such Obligor hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity with respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
12.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. EACH OBLIGOR ACKNOWLEDGES, REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IN DECIDING TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN TAKING OR NOT TAKING ANY ACTION HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, IT HAS NOT RELIED, AND WILL NOT RELY, ON ANY STATEMENT, REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT, AGREEMENT OR UNDERSTANDING, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OF OR WITH THE LENDERS OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
12.14 Severability. If any provision hereof is found by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law the parties agree that such invalidity or unenforceability shall not impair the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.
12.15 No Fiduciary Relationship. Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders have no fiduciary relationship with, or fiduciary duty to, Borrower arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Lenders and the Borrower are solely that of creditor and debtor. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not create a joint venture among the parties.
12.16 Confidentiality. The Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information (as defined in the Non-Disclosure Agreement (defined below)) in accordance with the terms of that certain non-disclosure agreement dated March 1, 2013 among Borrower and Capital Royalty, L.P (the “Non-Disclosure Agreement”). Each new Lender that becomes party to this Agreement and each Participant hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement.
12.17 USA PATRIOT Act. The Lenders hereby notify the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes the name and address of Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify Borrower in accordance with the Act.
12.18 Maximum Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (in each case, the “Maximum Rate”). If the Lenders shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum
77
Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans, and not to the payment of interest, or, if the excessive interest exceeds such unpaid principal, the amount exceeding the unpaid balance shall be refunded to the applicable Obligor. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lenders exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Indebtedness and other obligations of any Obligor hereunder, or (d) allocate interest between portions of such Indebtedness and other obligations under the Loan Documents to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by applicable Law.
12.19 Certain Waivers.
(a) Real Property Security Waivers.
(i) Each Obligor acknowledges that all or any portion of the Obligations may now or hereafter be secured by a Lien or Liens upon real property evidenced by certain documents including, without limitation, deeds of trust and assignments of rents. Lenders may, pursuant to the terms of said real property security documents and applicable law, foreclose under all or any portion of one or more of said Liens by means of judicial or nonjudicial sale or sales. Each Obligor agrees that Lenders may exercise whatever rights and remedies they may have with respect to said real property security, all without affecting the liability of any Obligor under the Loan Documents, except to the extent Lenders realize payment by such action or proceeding. No election to proceed in one form of action or against any party, or on any obligation shall constitute a waiver of Lenders’ rights to proceed in any other form of action or against any Obligor or any other Person, or diminish the liability of any Obligor, or affect the right of Lenders to proceed against any Obligor for any deficiency, except to the extent Lenders realize payment by such action, notwithstanding the effect of such action upon any Obligor’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnity, if any, against Obligor or any other Person.
(ii) To the extent permitted under applicable law, each Obligor hereby waives any rights and defenses that are or may become available to such Obligor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code.
(iii) To the extent permitted under applicable law, each Obligor hereby waives all rights and defenses that such Obligor may have because the Obligations are or may be secured by real property. This means, among other things:
(A) Lenders may collect from any Obligor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Obligor;
(B) If Lenders foreclose on any real property collateral pledged by any Obligor:
(1) The amount of the Loans may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and
78
(2) Lenders may collect from each Obligor even if Lenders, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, have destroyed any right that such Obligor may have to collect from any other Obligor.
(3) To the extent permitted under applicable law, this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Obligor may have because the Obligations are or may be secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
(iv) To the extent permitted under applicable law, each Obligor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lenders, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Obligor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
(b) Waiver of Marshaling. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY, EACH OBLIGOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND RELEASES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME (WHETHER ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, BY OPERATION OF LAW, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) TO REQUIRE THE MARSHALING OF ANY ASSETS OF ANY OBLIGOR, WHICH RIGHT OF MARSHALING MIGHT OTHERWISE ARISE FROM ANY PAYMENTS MADE OR OBLIGATIONS PERFORMED.
SECTION 13
GUARANTEE
13.01 The Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee to the Lenders and their successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees and other amounts from time to time owing to the Lenders by Borrower under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document and by any other Obligor under any of the Loan Documents, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby further jointly and severally agree that if Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
13.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 13.01 are absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity,
79
regularity or enforceability of the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 13.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, joint and several, under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be done or omitted;
(c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or
(d) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Lenders as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected.
The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Lenders exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against Borrower under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
13.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 13 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Lenders on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by the Lenders in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
13.04 Subrogation. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than the Warrant Obligations) and the expiration and termination of the Commitment of the Lenders under this Agreement they
80
shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by them of their guarantee in Section 13.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
13.05 Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 11 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 11) for purposes of Section 13.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 13.01.
13.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 13 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the Lender, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to proceed by motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to N.Y. Civ. Prac. L&R § 3213.
13.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 13 is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
13.08 Rights of Contribution. The Guarantors hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, each other Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of a Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section 13.08 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Section 13 and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations. For purposes of this Section 13.08, (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) “Excess Payment” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Share” means, for any Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate present fair saleable value of all properties of such Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock of any other Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by
81
such Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of all of the Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors hereunder and under the other Loan Documents) of all of the Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Guarantor that is a party hereto on the date hereof, as of the date hereof, and (B) with respect to any other Guarantor, as of the date such Guarantor becomes a Guarantor hereunder.
13.09 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any provincial, territorial or state corporate law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 13.01 would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 13.08, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 13.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, the Lenders or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
13.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders (including the Control Agent) agree:
(a) to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Control Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document (i) upon the payment in full in cash of all Obligations and the termination or expiration of all Commitments or (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document;
(b) to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under Loan Documents if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder; and
(c) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by any Lender or the Control Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 9.02(e) solely to the extent the Liens of any Lender or the Control Agent being subordinated encumber the specific assets financed by such Lien holder.

We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any obligations purportedly guarantied or secured by (or incorporated by reference into) the Operative Loan Documents that are not evidenced by the Operative Loan Documents (such as, but not limited to, obligations arising under other contracts or arrangements) and we assume such obligations are valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the applicable obligors.
In rendering the opinions set forth herein, whenever a statement or opinion set forth therein is qualified by “to our knowledge,” “known to us” or by words of similar import, it is intended to indicate that, during the course of our representation of the Opinion Parties in the subject

transaction, no information has come to the attention of those lawyers in our firm who have rendered legal services in connection with such transaction that gives us actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of such statement or opinion. We have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the accuracy of facts material to any such statement or opinion, and no inference as to such statement or opinion should be drawn from the fact of our representation of the Opinion Parties.
We have relied upon a certificate of an officer of each of the Opinion Parties dated the date hereof, certifying that the items listed in such certificate are (i) all of the indentures, loan or credit agreements, leases, guarantees, mortgages, security agreements, bonds, notes, other agreements or instruments (the “Other Material Agreements”) which affect or purport to affect any Opinion Party’s right to borrow money or guarantee debt or enter into the Loan Documents; and (ii) all of the judicial or administrative orders, writs, judgments, awards, injunctions and decrees (the “Orders”), which affect or purport to affect any Opinion Party’s right to borrow money or guarantee debt or enter into the Loan Documents. We have relied upon a certificate of an officer of each of the Opinion Parties as to certain matters relevant to our opinions in paragraph 8 below relating to the 1940 Act (as defined below).
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, and to the limitations and qualifications described below, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Company and VSC are each duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in the State of New Jersey. Each Opinion Party is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.
2. Each Opinion Party has the corporate power and authority to enter into the New Loan Documents and perform the Operative Loan Documents to which it is a party, has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of such New Loan Documents and the performance of such Operative Loan Documents, and has duly executed and delivered such New Loan Documents to which it is a party.
3. Each Operative Loan Document to which each Opinion Party is a party is the valid and binding obligation of such Opinion Party enforceable against such Opinion Party in accordance with its terms.
4. The execution and delivery by each Opinion Party of the New Loan Documents to which it is a party do not, and the performance by such Opinion Party of its obligations under the Operative Loan Documents to which it is a party will not, result in a violation of the Charter or Bylaws of such Opinion Party.
5. The execution and delivery by each Opinion Party of the New Loan Documents to which it is a party does not, and the performance of such Opinion Party of its obligations under the Operative Loan Documents to which it is party will not, require any approval from or filing with any governmental authority of the United States under federal law, the State of New York under New York law or the State of Delaware under any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

6. The execution and delivery by each Opinion Party of the New Loan Documents to which it is a party does not, and the performance by such Opinion Party of its obligations under the Operative Loan Documents to which it is a party will not, result in any violation of any federal law of the United States or any law of the State of New York or any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law.
7. The extension of credit made on the date hereof and the use of the proceeds thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Term Loan Agreement do not violate the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. For purposes of this paragraph, we have assumed that none of the assets of any Opinion Party or its subsidiaries constitutes “margin stock” as such term is used in such Regulations; that none of the Lenders falls within the definition of “Creditor” as such term is used in Regulation T of such Board of Governors; and that the proceeds of the loans made under the Term Loan Agreement are used in accordance with the provisions thereof.
8. No Opinion Party is required to register as an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).
9. The Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Lenders, as security for the Secured Obligations, as defined in the Security Agreement, a security interest (the “Article 9 Security Interest”) in the collateral of the applicable Opinion Parties described in the Security Agreement in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the NY UCC (the “Article 9 Collateral”).
10. As a result of the previous filing of the Existing Financing Statements with the DE Filing Office, the Article 9 Security Interest in that portion of the Article 9 Collateral of the Company and VSC in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the DE UCC has been perfected. Upon the filing of the Parent Financing Statement with the DE Filing Office, the Article 9 Security Interest in that portion of the Article 9 Collateral of the Parent in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the DE UCC will be perfected.
11. The Article 9 Security Interest in that portion of the Article 9 Collateral consisting of the certificated securities constituting the capital stock of the Company, the applicable security certificates for which are being delivered by the Parent to the Control Agent pursuant to the Security Agreement in connection with the Parent Joinder, will be perfected upon delivery of such security certificates to the Control Agent, together with duly executed stock powers or other signed transfer powers in blank, within the State of New York.

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following limitations, exceptions, qualifications and assumptions:
A. The opinions expressed herein are subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally and general principles of equity, including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and (as to collateral security) the duty to act in a commercially reasonable manner. We express no opinion as to the effect of suretyship defenses, or defenses in the nature thereof, with respect to the obligations of any Guarantor.
B. Provisions of the Loan Documents relating to indemnification or exculpation may be limited by public policy or by law.
C. The opinions expressed in this opinion letter are limited to the laws of the State of New York, (including the NY UCC), the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the DE UCC, and the Federal laws of the United States of America, and we express no opinion with respect to any other laws of any state or jurisdiction. With respect to the DE UCC, we have, with your permission, confined our investigation thereof to an examination of the relevant provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware as set forth in the CCH Secured Transactions Guide (as updated through a recent date), without regard to any case law decided thereunder or other laws or regulations related thereto.
D. For purposes of our opinions herein as to the valid existence and good standing of the Opinion Parties, we have relied solely upon the Good Standing Certificates.
E. We have considered only such laws and regulations that in our experience are typically applicable to a transaction of the nature contemplated by the Loan Documents.
F. Certain waivers by the Opinion Parties in the Loan Documents may relate to matters that cannot, as a matter of law, be effectively waived. Without limiting the foregoing, you should be aware that under applicable law guarantors may be entitled to certain rights or protections which as a matter of statutory or common law may not be waived or altered. We express no opinion herein as to the enforceability of any provision of any Loan Document which purport to waive or alter such rights or protections, except to the extent permitted by law.
G. The enforceability of the Loan Documents may be limited by the unenforceability under certain circumstances of provisions imposing penalties, forfeitures, late payment charges or an increase in interest rate upon delinquency in payment or an occurrence of default.
H. In connection with the opinions set forth in paragraphs 9-11, we have assumed that each applicable Opinion Party has, or has the power to transfer, rights (to the extent necessary to grant a security interest) in the Article 9 Collateral existing on the date hereof and will have, or will have the power to transfer, rights (to such extent) in property which becomes Article 9 Collateral after the date hereof. We assume that the Control Agent (as defined in the Security Agreement) is validly acting as agent for and “representative” (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”) of each relevant jurisdiction) of each holder of Secured Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement) or holder of any applicable obligation purported to be secured or benefitted by a security interest granted in favor of the Control Agent or in favor of any Lender by any Opinion Party.
May , 2016
Page 7
I. We express no opinion as to the creation, attachment or perfection of any security interest except as expressly stated herein. We express no opinion as to (i) the perfection of any security interest in any Collateral consisting of timber to be cut or as-extracted collateral or goods which are or are to become fixtures or (ii) the priority of any security interest or lien. We assume the Collateral does not include any “commercial tort claims” (as defined in the NY UCC or the DE UCC) or “cooperative interests” (as defined in the NY UCC). We express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents to the extent such enforceability is limited by Sections 1-302, 9-602, 9-603, 9-406, 9-407, 9-408, or other applicable provisions of the NY UCC or the DE UCC.
J. In connection with the opinions set forth in paragraphs 9-11, the perfection of a security interest in any collateral consisting of “proceeds” (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction) is subject to limitations set forth in Section 9-315 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the applicable jurisdiction.
K. We call to your attention the requirement to file appropriate periodic Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements on a timely basis under the DE UCC with respect to each Financing Statement. We also point out that certain actions may be required if any applicable debtor changes its name or its “location” for purposes of Article 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, or if a “new debtor” (as defined in the applicable Uniform Commercial Code) becomes bound by the applicable security agreement.
L. We assume that none of the Existing Financing Statements has been amended, modified, assigned, released or terminated in any manner, and each Existing Financing Statement is in full force and effect and on file as of record in the DE Filing Office.
M. For purposes of Section 122 (13) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, we assume that each of the Company and VSC is a direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent.
N. Except to the extent that any provision in the Loan Documents providing for the choice of New York law to govern the Loan Documents is made enforceable by New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401, as applied by a New York state court or a federal court sitting in New York and applying New York choice of law principles, no opinion is given herein as to any contractual choice of law clause or otherwise as to any choice of law matters.
O. We express no opinion as to:
(i) The enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents insofar as it provides that any Person purchasing a participation from any Lender or any other Person may exercise set-off or similar rights with respect to such participation or that a Lender or other Person may exercise set-off or similar rights other than in accordance with applicable law.
(ii) The enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents permitting modification thereof only by means of an agreement in writing signed by the parties thereto.
May , 2016
Page 8
(iii) The enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents purporting to waive the right to trial by jury, or any provisions in the Loan Documents relating to jurisdiction, venue, choice of forum, service of process, or choice of law (except to the extent made enforceable by New York General Obligations Law Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402).
(iv) The enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents purporting to grant the right to confess judgment against the Opinion Parties.
(v) The enforceability of the provisions contained in the last sentence of Section 2.01 of the Term Loan Agreement.
This opinion letter is effective only as of the date hereof. We do not assume responsibility for updating this opinion letter as of any date subsequent to its date, and we assume no responsibility for advising you of any changes with respect to any matters described in this opinion letter that may occur subsequent to the date of this opinion letter or from the discovery, subsequent to the date of this opinion letter, of information not previously known to us pertaining to the events occurring prior to such date.

all of the assets of the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the Required Lenders, in their sole discretion, consent to such sale; (vii) Lenders’ right to make an election under Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code; (viii) Lenders’ right to credit bid any or all of its debt claims against the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, including, without limitation, the Senior Debt; or (ix) any plan of reorganization or liquidation if the Required Lenders, in their sole discretion, consent to such plan of reorganization or liquidation, and, in furtherance thereof, WCAS hereby grants to the Lenders the right to vote WCAS’s claim on account of the Subordinated Debt with respect to any plan of reorganization or liquidation to which WCAS may be entitled in any bankruptcy or liquidation proceeding of the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary Guarantor. |
5. Distributions of Proceeds of Collateral. All realizations upon any Collateral pursuant to an Enforcement Action, an Insolvency Event or otherwise shall be paid or delivered to Lenders and applied first to the Senior Debt until the Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full before any payment may be made to WCAS.
6. Attorney-In-Fact. Until the Senior Discharge Date, WCAS irrevocably appoints the Control Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with power of attorney with power of substitution, in WCAS’s name or in Lenders’ name, for Lenders’ use and benefit, to do the following during an Insolvency Event:
a) | file appropriate claims in respect of the Subordinated Debt on behalf of WCAS if WCAS does not do so at least 30 days before the time to file claims expires (provided that the Lenders shall use good faith diligent efforts promptly to give WCAS copies of such claims or notice of such action, as the case may be, but failure by Lenders to do so shall not impair the rights of the Lenders under this Agreement or otherwise result in the imposition of any liability on the Lenders hereunder) if Lenders elect, in their sole discretion, to file such claim or claims and (b) vote WCAS’s claim on account of the Subordinated Debt with respect to any plan of reorganization or liquidation to which WCAS may be entitled in any bankruptcy or liquidation proceeding of the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary Guarantor; |
Such power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.
7. Legend; Amendment of Debt.
(a) WCAS will cause Borrower to immediately put a legend on or otherwise indicate on the Subordinated Note that the Subordinated Note is subject to this Agreement.
(b) Until the Senior Discharge Date, WCAS shall not, without prior written consent of the Required Lenders, agree to any amendment, modification or supplement to the Subordinated Debt Documents, if the effect of such amendment, modification or supplement is to: (i) terminate or impair the subordination of the Subordinated Debt in favor of the Lenders, (ii) increase the interest rate in respect of the Subordinated Debt or change (to earlier dates) the dates upon which principal, interest and other sums are due under the Subordinated Note; (iii) alter the redemption, prepayment or subordination provisions of the Subordinated Note in a
5
manner that individually or in the aggregate would be adverse to Borrower of the Subordinated Debt or Lenders; (iv) impose on Borrower any new or additional prepayment charges, premiums, reimbursement obligations, reimbursable costs or expenses, fees or other payment obligations; (v) alter the representations, warranties, covenants, events of default, remedies and other provisions in a manner which would make such provisions materially more onerous, restrictive or burdensome to Borrower; (vi) xxxxx x xxxx or security interest in favor of any holder of the Subordinated Debt on any asset or Collateral to secure all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt, or (vii) otherwise increase the obligations, liabilities and indebtedness in respect of the Subordinated Debt or confer additional rights upon WCAS, which individually or in the aggregate would be materially adverse to Borrower or Lenders, provided, however, that WCAS shall be permitted to amend or modify the Subordinated Debt Documents to modify or add covenants or defaults to the extent the corresponding provisions of the Senior Term Loan Documents have been added, amended or modified.
(c) Until the Senior Discharge Date, Lenders may take such action with respect to the Senior Debt as Lenders, in their sole discretion, may deem appropriate, provided, however, that unless and until the Subordinated Note is paid in full in cash, Lenders may not, without prior written consent of WCAS, agree to any amendment, modification or supplement to the Senior Term Loan Documents, if the effect of such amendment, modification or supplement is to: (i) increase the maximum principal amount of the Senior Debt other than (a) in a principal amount not to exceed $20,000,000 (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be provided under a second lien term loan agreement) and (b) as such principal amount of Senior Debt may be increased by the accrual of PIK interest; (ii) increase the interest rates applied to the unpaid principal balance of the Senior Debt; or (iii) impose any restrictions on the making of payments with respect to the Subordinated Debt that do not already exist in the Senior Term Loan Documents as in effect on the date hereof. No action or inaction will impair or otherwise affect Lenders’ rights under this Agreement. For the further avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Lenders shall not require the consent of WCAS to impose default interest on the Senior Debt under the terms of the Senior Term Loan Documents.
8. WCAS Acknowledgement of Lien Subordination. WCAS acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders have been granted liens upon the Collateral, and WCAS hereby consents thereto and to the incurrence of the Senior Debt. WCAS represents and warrants to the Lenders that as at the date of this Agreement, the Subordinated Debt is unsecured. WCAS agrees that it shall not obtain a lien or security interest on any asset or Collateral to secure all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt; provided further that should WCAS obtain a lien or security interest on any asset or Collateral to secure all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt for any reason, notwithstanding the respective dates of attachment and perfection of the security interests in the Collateral in favor of the Lenders or WCAS, or any contrary provision of the UCC, or any applicable law or decision to the contrary, or the provisions of the Senior Term Loan Documents or the Subordinated Debt Documents, and irrespective of whether WCAS or the Lenders hold possession of any or all part of the Collateral, all now existing or hereafter arising security interests in the Collateral in favor of WCAS in respect of the Subordinated Debt Documents shall at all times be subordinate to the security interest in such Collateral in favor of the Lenders in respect of the Senior Term Loan Documents. Additionally, WCAS shall not accept or take any guaranty of the Subordinated Debt.
6
Until the Senior Discharge Date, in the event of any private or public sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral, WCAS agrees that such Collateral shall be sold or otherwise disposed of free and clear of any liens in favor of WCAS in respect of the Subordinated Debt Documents. WCAS agrees that any such sale or disposition of Collateral shall not require any consent from WCAS, and WCAS hereby waives any right it may have to object to such sale or disposition.
9. Representations and Warranties. Each party hereto represents and warrants to each other party hereto that:
(a) all action on the part of such party, its officers, directors, partners, members and shareholders, as applicable, necessary for the authorization of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of such party hereunder has been taken;
(b) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms;
(c) the execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with this Agreement by such party will not (i) result in any material violation or default of any term of any of such party’s charter, formation or other organizational documents (such as Articles or Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, etc.) or (ii) violate any material applicable law, rule or regulation.
10. Term; Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain effective until the Senior Discharge Date. If, after the Senior Discharge Date, Lenders must disgorge any payments made on the Senior Debt for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy of Borrower), this Agreement and the relative rights and priorities provided in it, will be reinstated as to all disgorged payments as though such payments had not been made, and WCAS will immediately pay Lenders all payments received in respect of the Subordinated Debt to the extent such payments or retention thereof would have been prohibited under this Agreement.
11. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Lender and WCAS and in each case their respective successors or assigns. WCAS shall not sell, assign, pledge, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt or any related document or any interest in any Collateral therefor unless prior to the consummation of any such action, the transferee thereto shall execute and deliver to Lenders an agreement of such transferee to be bound hereby, or an agreement substantially identical to this Agreement providing for the continued subjection of the Subordinated Debt, any interests of the transferee in the Collateral and the remedies of the transferee with respect thereto as provided herein with respect to WCAS and for the continued effectiveness of all of the other rights of Lenders arising under this Agreement, in each case in form satisfactory to Lenders.
12. Further Assurances. WCAS hereby agrees to execute such documents and/or take such further action as Lenders may at any time or times reasonably request in order to carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement, including, without limitation, ratifications and confirmations of this Agreement from time to time hereafter.
7
13. Reliance. For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with any payment or distribution by WCAS to any Lender, WCAS shall be entitled to rely for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other indebtedness or obligations of Borrower, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Agreement and for purposes of determining whether the provisions of this Agreement have been fully effectuated and carried out, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto given effect, (i) upon any order, judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which (x) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to Borrower or its property is pending or (y) any other proceeding to which the Lenders have been properly joined as parties is pending, (ii) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to WCAS or (iii) upon any trustee, agent or other representative for the holder of the applicable Senior Debt. In the event that WCAS determines, in good faith (and with a reasonable basis for so concluding), that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Agreement, WCAS may request such Person to furnish reasonable evidence as to the amount of such Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Agreement, and, if such evidence is not furnished, WCAS may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.
14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Executed counterparts may be delivered by facsimile.
15. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction; provided that Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law shall apply.
(b) EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.
16. Entire Agreement; Waivers and Amendments. This Agreement represents the entire agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and commitments. Lenders and WCAS are not relying on any representations by the other creditor party or Borrower in entering into this Agreement. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination, consent or waiver of or to any provision of this Agreement, nor any consent to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders and WCAS. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure or delay on the part of any Lender or WCAS in the exercise of any power, right, remedy
8
or privilege under this Agreement shall impair such power, right, remedy or privilege or shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of any other power, right or privilege. The waiver of any such right, power, remedy or privilege with respect to particular facts and circumstances shall not be deemed to be a waiver with respect to other facts and circumstances.
17. Legal Fees. In the event of any legal action to enforce the rights of a party under this Agreement, the party prevailing in such action shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted, all reasonable, invoiced and out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in such action.
18. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is illegal, invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent such illegality, invalidity, prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating or impairing the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
19. Notices. All notices, demands, instructions and other communications required or permitted to be given to or made upon any party hereto shall be in writing and shall be delivered or sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier or messenger service or by facsimile, message confirmed, and shall be deemed to be effective for purposes of this Agreement on the day that delivery is made or refused. Unless otherwise specified in a notice mailed or delivered in accordance with the foregoing sentence, notices, demands, instructions and other communications in writing shall be given to or made upon the respective parties hereto at their respective addresses and facsimile numbers indicated on the signature pages hereto.
20. Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Senior Term Loan Agreement, the parties agree that this Agreement shall be a “Loan Document” under the Senior Term Loan Agreement.
