8. Covenants.

a. Mandatory Prepayment. The Borrower agrees that to the extent that it is entitled to receive, and either directly or indirectly through a third party at any time receives proceeds (net of costs, expenses and other amounts due to any litigation funder approved by the Lender (“Net Proceeds”)), which Net Proceeds arise from or are in connection with a judgment, settlement or other in or out of court resolution of the Commercial Tort Claim identified in the Security Agreement as amended by this Agreement, then upon receipt of such Net Proceeds, the Borrower shall pay or shall cause any third party in possession of the Net Proceeds to pay to the Lender, as a mandatory prepayment under Section 2.8(e) of the Credit Agreement together with all other amounts due to the Lender at the time a mandatory prepayment is made, one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Proceeds to be applied to the then existing Loan amount balance due, the Revolving Loan balance due and any other outstanding Obligations then due to the Lender.

b. Additional Consideration. As additional consideration for the Lender’s agreement to forbear which additional consideration is fully earned as of the date hereof, the Borrower agrees that to the extent that it is entitled to receive, and either directly or indirectly through a third party at any time receives Net Proceeds, then upon receipt of such Net Proceeds, the Borrower shall pay or shall cause any third party in possession of the Net Proceeds to pay to the Lender an amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of the Net Proceeds amount which is in excess of FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS and 00/100 CENTS (US$50,000,000.00) (the “Additional Consideration”). The calculation of the Additional Consideration shall be based upon the full amount of Net Proceeds received prior to any mandatory prepayment made under Section 8(a). of this Agreement and Section 2.8(e) of the Credit Agreement. Xxxxxxxx agrees that the Net Proceeds are proceeds of the Commercial Tort Claim identified in the Security Agreement and the Borrower reaffirms and ratifies its grant of a security interest to the Lender in such Commercial Tort Claim and the proceeds thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Additional Consideration is in addition to all payments due and owing with respect to the Loan and Revolving Loan and the Borrower is obligated to make such Additional Consideration payment regardless of whether and when the Loan and/or the Revolving Loan and any other Obligations other than the Additional Consideration have been paid in full. Payment of the Additional Consideration is a material requirement of Lender in order to induce the Lender to enter into this Agreement. The Borrower’s obligation to pay the Additional Consideration shall survive the Termination Date, is an “Obligation” under the Credit Agreement, and the Lender shall not be obligated to release or terminate its security interest in the Net Proceeds until the Additional Consideration is paid in full.

c. Malta Lien. To the extent the Lender determines at any time and in its sole discretion that additional actions are required to secure by the Lien on all Collateral granted by Karamba Limited under the laws of Malta, amounts in excess of the original principal amount of the Loan or the Revolving Loan resulting from the accrual of PIK Interest, the Borrower shall fully cooperate with the Lender to assure that such Lien is extended to secure amounts in excess of the original principal amount of the Loan.

9. Reaffirmation of Loan Balance. The Borrower confirms that, as of the date hereof, upon giving effect to this Agreement, it is indebted to the Lender in respect of the Loan in the principal amount of TWENTY-SIX MILLION THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY-FOUR THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED THIRTY-FOUR DOLLARS and 66/100 CENTS (US$26,384,634.66), together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon (including PIK Interest), and in respect of the Revolving Loan in the principal amount of ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED NINETY THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED FORTY-FOUR DOLLARS and 58/100 CENTS (US$1,690,744.58), together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, together with all fees, costs, expenses and other charges due and owing by the Borrower under the Credit Documents and that all such amounts are unconditionally owing by the Borrower to the Lender, without offset, defense or counterclaim of any kind, nature or description whatsoever.

10. Credit Documents. This Agreement, constitutes a “Credit Document” as defined in the Credit Agreement, as the same may be amended from time to time.

Each Credit Party hereby ratifies and reaffirms (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the Credit Documents; (ii) that its reaffirmation of the Credit Documents is a material inducement to the Lender to enter into this Agreement; and (iii) that its obligations under the Credit Documents shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations have been paid in full.

This Agreement binds and benefits the respective successors and assigns of the parties, except that neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor may assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Lender. The Lender may assign all or a portion of all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement.

The Borrower and each Guarantor agree to cooperate with, and shall cause their Subsidiaries and their advisors to cooperate with, any financial advisors or appraisers that may from time to time be retained by or on behalf of the Lender, including, without limitation, providing reasonable access (upon reasonable advance notice) to their premises, personnel and books and records.
