In the event that any Lender, subsequent to the Closing Date, determines in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment that (x) any change in applicable Law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or (y) any change in the interpretation or administration thereof, or (z) compliance by such Lender with any new request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any central bank or other governmental or regulatory authority, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed material by such Lender in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, Borrowers agree to pay to such Lender, no later than five (5) days following demand by such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction in rate of return; provided that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (ii) 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 be a "change in applicable Law", regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued. In determining such amount or amounts, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging or attribution methods. The protection of this Section 5.9 shall be available to any Lender regardless of any possible contention of invalidity or inapplicability with respect to the applicable Law, regulation or condition. A certificate of a Lender setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate such Lender with respect to this Section 5.9 and the calculation thereof, when delivered to Borrowers, shall be conclusive and binding on each Borrower absent manifest error. In the event a Lender exercises its rights pursuant to this Section 5.9, and subsequent thereto determines that the amounts paid by Borrowers exceeded the amount which such Lender actually required to compensate such Lender for any reduction in rate of return on its capital, such excess shall be returned to Borrowers by such Lender. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.9 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand such compensation.
-55-
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Credit Parties hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If the Credit Parties or any other withholding agent shall be required by applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from such payments, then (i) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Credit Parties shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or withholdings (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.9) Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made, (ii) the Credit Parties shall make such deductions or withholdings and (iii) the Credit Parties shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Government Authority in accordance with applicable Law.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph 5.9(a), the Credit Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Government Authority in accordance with applicable Law, except those wherein the amount, applicability or validity are being contested by appropriate proceedings being diligently conducted in good faith (which effectively stay or delay the enforcement of any Liens relating to such amounts) and in respect of which adequate reserves in accordance with IFRS have been established.
-56-
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Credit Parties to a Government Authority, Borrower Representative shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Government Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.
(e) Status of Lenders. Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to Agent (with a copy to Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower Representative as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (e)(i) through (vi) of this Section) shall not be required if in the applicable 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall deliver to Borrower Representative and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower Representative or Agent, but only if such Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable to such Lender:
(i) In the case of a non-Foreign Lender, duly completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax,

-57-
(v) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9, 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; or
(vi) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Borrowers to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(vii) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower Representative and Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Agent as may be necessary for Borrowers and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender's obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
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 Borrower Representative and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Credit Parties or with respect to which the Credit Parties have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.9 it shall pay over such refund to the Credit Parties (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Credit Parties under this Section 5.9 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Government Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Credit Parties, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Credit Parties (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Government Authority) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Government Authority. This Section 5.9(f) shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender (i) to make available its Tax returns (or other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person or (ii) to pay any amount pursuant to this Section 5.9(f) the payment of which would place such Person and its Affiliates in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Person (and its Affiliates) would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.
-58-
(g) Survival. The obligations of the Credit Parties under this Section 5.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the repayment of the Loans and the replacement of Agent.
5.10. Obligations Absolute. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5, all payments by any Credit Party of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds, and shall be absolute and unconditional, without defense, rescission, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Agent, for the account of Lenders, not later than 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the date due.
5.11. Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.9, or if any Credit Party is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Government Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.10, then, upon the written request of Borrower Representative, such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder (subject to the provisions of Section 14.11) to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or materially reduce amounts payable pursuant to any such Section, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender (as determined in its sole discretion). Without limitation of the provisions of Section 15.1, Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
SECTION 6.

-73-
(b) Agent's Purchase of Insurance. In the event the Credit Parties fail to provide Agent with evidence of the Required Insurance in the manner set forth in Section 8.3(a) above, Agent may purchase insurance at the Credit Parties' expense to protect Agent's interests in the Collateral. The insurance purchased by Agent may, but need not, protect the Credit Parties' interests in the Collateral, and therefor such insurance may not pay any claim that the Credit Parties may make or any claim that is made against the Credit Parties in connection with the Collateral. The Credit Parties may later request that Agent cancel any insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent with satisfactory evidence that the Credit Parties have the Required Insurance. If Agent purchases insurance covering all or any portion of the Collateral, the Credit Parties shall be responsible for the costs of such insurance, including interest (at the applicable rate set forth hereunder) and other charges accruing on the purchase price therefor, until the effective date of the cancellation or the expiration of the insurance. The costs of the premiums of any insurance purchased by Agent may exceed the costs of insurance that the Credit Parties may be able to purchase on their own. In the event that Agent purchases insurance, Agent will promptly notify the Credit Parties of such purchase. If, within thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of such notice, the Credit Parties provide Agent with proof that the Credit Parties had the Required Insurance as of the date on which Agent purchased insurance and the Credit Parties have continued at all times thereafter to have the Required Insurance, then Agent agrees to cancel the insurance purchased by Agent.
8.4. Payment of Taxes. The Credit Parties shall pay when due all federal, state, provincial or territorial income Taxes and all other material Taxes lawfully levied, assessed or imposed upon the Credit Parties or the Collateral (including all sales Taxes collected by the Credit Parties on behalf of the Credit Parties' customers in connection with sales of Inventory and all payroll Taxes collected by the Credit Parties on behalf of the Credit Parties' employees), unless the Taxes are the subject of a Permitted Contest. Each Credit Party shall timely and duly filed all its federal Tax returns and all other material Tax returns and all such Tax returns shall be true, correct, and complete. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Lien securing any Taxes is filed in any public office, then the Credit Parties shall promptly pay all Taxes secured by such Lien and remove such Lien of record. Pending the payment of such Taxes and removal of such Lien, Agent may, at its election and without curing or waiving any Event of Default which may have occurred as a result thereof, (i) establish a reserve in the amount of such Taxes (or such other amount as Agent shall deem appropriate in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment) or (ii) pay such Taxes on behalf of the Credit Parties, and the amount paid by Agent shall become an Obligation which is due and payable on demand by Agent.

(f) any Credit Party's or Supported Practice's receipt of written notice or entering into any agreement that would result in a material reduction in the reimbursement rates paid to such Credit Party or Supported Practice by any Third-Party Payor;

Upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, at the option of Agent or Required Lenders, all loans, advances and extensions of credit provided for in this Agreement thereafter shall be made in Agent's and Lenders' discretion, and, in any event, the obligation of Agent and Lenders to make additional Loans shall cease unless such Default is cured or such Event of Default is waived in accordance herewith. In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may, at its option, and Agent shall, upon the request of Required Lenders, (a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable, (b) charge Borrowers the Default Rate of Interest on all then outstanding or thereafter incurred Obligations in lieu of the interest provided for in Section 5.1 of this Agreement, and (c) immediately terminate Agent's and Lenders' Commitments upon notice to Borrowers.

Agent shall have the right, without notice or advertisement but subject to applicable Law, to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral whether in its then condition or after further preparation or processing, in the name of the Credit Parties (or any of them) or Agent, on behalf of Lenders, or in the name of such other party as Agent may designate, either at public or private sale or at any broker's board, in lots or in bulk, for cash or for credit, with or without warranties or representations (including warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment and the like), and upon such other terms and conditions as Agent in its sole discretion may deem advisable, and Agent shall have the right to purchase at any such sale on behalf of Lenders (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws). If any Inventory and Equipment shall require rebuilding, repairing, maintenance or preparation, Agent shall have the right, at its option and subject to applicable Law, to do such of the aforesaid as is necessary, for the purpose of putting the Inventory and Equipment in such saleable form as Agent shall deem appropriate. The Credit Parties agree, at the request of Agent and subject to applicable Law, to assemble the Inventory and Equipment, and to make it available to Agent at premises of the Credit Parties or elsewhere and to make available to Agent the premises and facilities of the Credit Parties for the purpose of Agent's taking possession of, removing or putting the Inventory and Equipment in saleable form. If notice of intended disposition of any Collateral is required by Law, it is agreed that ten (10) days' notice shall constitute reasonable notification. The proceeds resulting from Agent's exercise of any of the foregoing rights shall be applied by Agent to the payment of the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.4 hereof, and the Credit Parties shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders for any deficiencies, and Agent, in turn, agrees to remit to the Credit Parties or their successors or assigns, any surplus resulting therefrom. The enumeration of the foregoing rights is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any right shall not preclude the exercise of any other right of Agent or Lenders under applicable Law or the other Loan Documents, all of which shall be cumulative.
-87-

11.5. General Indemnity; Release.
(a) In addition to the Credit Parties agreement to reimburse Agent for Out-of-Pocket Expenses, but without duplication, each of the Credit Parties hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and of its successors (including any receiver, trustee, interim receiver, monitor or similar officer acting on behalf of such Credit Party and any debtor-in-possession with respect to such Credit Party), to indemnify Agent and Lenders, and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (each, an "Indemnified Party") from, and to defend and hold each Indemnified Party harmless against, any and all actual and out-of-pocket: losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, actions, judgments, suits, damages, penalties, costs, fees, expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees of one firm of counsel to Agent and one firm of counsel to all other Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, firm of local counsel to Agent and one firm of local counsel to all other Indemnified Parties, taken as a whole, in each material relevant jurisdiction, and solely in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, where the Indemnified Party affected by such conflict inform Borrower Representative of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, one additional firm of counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of similarly situated affected Indemnified Parties) of any kind or nature which at any time may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Party asserting any claim for legal or equitable remedy under any statute, regulation or common law principle arising from or in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, performance, administration and enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the Obligations or any Collateral; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, actions, judgments, suits, damages, penalties, costs, fees or expenses resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. All amounts due under this Section 11.5 shall be paid promptly (but in any event not later than thirty (30) days) after demand therefor (together with reasonably detailed backup documentation supporting such reimbursement request); provided further, however, that such Indemnified Party shall promptly refund such amount to the extent that there is a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification rights with respect to such payment pursuant to the express terms of this Section 11.5. This indemnification shall survive the Termination Date.
-88-
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, in consideration of Agent and Lenders entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which each Credit Party hereby acknowledges, each of the Credit Parties hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and of its successors (including any receiver, trustee, interim receiver, monitor or similar officer acting on behalf of such Credit Party and any debtor-in-possession with respect to such Credit Party) (collectively, the "Releasors"), hereby forever releases, discharges and acquits Agent and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (collectively, the "Releasees") from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, responsibilities, disputes, causes, damages, actions and causes of actions (whether at law or in equity), indebtedness and obligations (collectively, "Claims") of every type, kind, nature, description or character, including any so-called "lender liability" claims or defenses, and irrespective of how, why or by reason of what facts, whether such Claims have heretofore arisen, are now existing or hereafter arise, or which could, might or be claimed to exist, of whatever kind or nature, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent, each as though fully set forth herein at length, which may in any way arise out of, are connected with or in any way relate to actions or omissions which occurred on or prior to the date hereof with respect to this Agreement, the Obligations, any Collateral or any other Loan Document.

SECTION 12.
12.1. Appointment of Agent; Powers. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Oxford to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and irrevocably authorizes Oxford, as Agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In performing its functions under this Agreement, Agent is acting solely as an agent of Lenders, and Agent does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, an agency or other fiduciary relationship with the Credit Parties or any Lender. Agent shall not have any (a) duty, responsibility, obligation or liability to any Lender, except for those duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities expressly set forth in this Agreement, or (b) fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or otherwise exist against Agent.
For the purposes of holding any hypothec granted pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec to secure the prompt payment and performance of any and all Obligations by any Credit Party, each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent and, to the extent necessary, ratifies the appointment and authorization of Agent, to act as the hypothecary representative of the present and future creditors as contemplated under Article 2692 of the Civil Code of Quebec (in such capacity, the "Hypothecary Representative"), and to enter into, to take and to hold on behalf of the Lenders, and for their benefit, any hypothec, and to exercise such powers and duties that are conferred upon the Hypothecary Representative under any related deed of hypothec. The Hypothecary Representative shall: (i) have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise, except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof, all rights and remedies given to the Hypothecary Representative pursuant to any such deed of hypothec and applicable law, and (ii) benefit from and be subject to all provisions hereof with respect to Agent mutatis mutandis, including, without limitation, all such provisions with respect to the liability or responsibility to and indemnification by the Lenders and the Credit Parties. Any Person who becomes a Lender shall, by its execution of an Assignment and Transfer Agreement, be deemed to have consented to and confirmed the Hypothecary Representative as the Person acting as hypothecary representative holding the aforesaid hypothecs as aforesaid and to have ratified, as of the date it becomes a Lender, all actions taken by the Hypothecary Representative in such capacity. The substitution of Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12 also constitutes the substitution of the Hypothecary Representative. Agent, acting as the Hypothecary Representative, shall have the same rights, powers, immunities, indemnities and exclusions from liability as are prescribed in favor of Agent in this Agreement, which shall apply mutatis mutandis to Agent acting as Hypothecary Representative.
-90-
12.2. Delegation of Agent's Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and all ancillary documents by or through agents or attorneys, and shall be entitled to the advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.
12.3. Disclaimer of Agent's Liabilities. Neither Agent nor any of its Affiliates, or its or its Affiliates' officers, directors, employees, agents, or attorneys shall be liable to any Lender for any action lawfully taken or not taken by Agent or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (except for Agent's or such Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall not be liable to Lenders for (a) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Credit Parties or any officer thereof contained in (i) this Agreement, (ii) any other Loan Document or (iii) any certificate, report, audit, statement or other document referred to or provided for in this Agreement or received by Agent under or in connection with this Agreement, (b) the value, validity, effectiveness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or Agent's security interests in the Collateral, (c) any failure of the Credit Parties to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (d) any loss or depreciation in the value of, delay in collecting the Proceeds of, or failure to realize on, any Collateral, (e) Agent's delay in the collection of the Obligations or enforcing Agent's rights against the Credit Parties, or the granting of indulgences or extensions to the Credit Parties, or any account debtor of the Credit Parties, or (f) any mistake, omission or error in judgment in passing upon or accepting any Collateral. In addition, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or other agreements of the Credit Parties contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or to inspect, verify, examine or audit the assets, books or records of the Credit Parties at any time.
12.4. Reliance and Action by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon legal counsel, independent public accountants and experts selected by Agent, and shall not be liable to Lenders for any action taken or not taken in good faith based upon the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. In addition, Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile, statement, order or other document believed by Agent in good faith to be genuine and correct, and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons. Agent shall be fully justified in taking or refusing to take any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents unless Agent (a) receives the advice or consent of Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be, in a manner that Agent deems appropriate, or (b) is indemnified by Lenders to Agent's satisfaction against any and all liability, cost and expense which may be incurred by Agent by reason of taking or refusing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of all Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders.
-91-
12.5. Events of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder (other than a payment Event of Default under Section 11.1(a)) unless Agent has received written notice from the Credit Parties or a Lender describing such Default or Event of Default with specificity. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to all Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be, provided that (a) if appropriate, Agent may require indemnification from Lenders under Section 12.7 prior to taking such action, (b) under no circumstances shall Agent have an obligation to take any action that Agent believes in good faith would violate any Law or any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (c) unless and until Agent shall have received direction from Lenders or Required Lenders, as the case may be, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action or refrain from taking action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as Agent shall deem advisable and in the best interests of Lenders.
12.6. Lenders' Due Diligence. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Agent, nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents, has made any representation or warranty to such Lender regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the financial condition of the Credit Parties, and such Lender agrees that no action taken by Agent hereafter, including any review of the business or financial affairs of the Credit Parties, shall be deemed to constitute a representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender. Each Lender also acknowledges that such Lender has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis, appraisal of or investigation into the business, operations, property, financial condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender agrees, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as such Lender shall deem appropriate at the time, (a) to continue to make its own credit analyses and appraisals in deciding whether to take or not take action under this Agreement and (b) to make such investigations as such Lender deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties.
12.7. Right to Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), according to their respective Pro Rata Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of (a) this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) the transactions contemplated hereby or (c) any action taken or not taken by Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing, provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
12.8. Other Transactions. Agent and any Lender may make loans to and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrowers, as though Agent or such Lender were not Agent or a Lender hereunder. With respect to loans made by Agent under this Agreement as a Lender, Agent shall have the same rights and powers, duties and liabilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender, and may exercise the same as though it were Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include Agent in its individual capacity as such.
-92-
12.9. Resignation of Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days' notice to Lenders and Borrower Representative, and such resignation shall be effective on the earlier of (a) the appointment of a successor Agent by Required Lenders, subject, in the absence of an Event of Default, to the prior written consent of Borrowers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) or (b) the date on which such 30-day period expires. If Agent provides Lenders and Borrower Representative with notice of its intention to resign as Agent, Required Lenders agree to appoint a successor to Agent as promptly as possible thereafter, whereupon such successor shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and the term "Agent" means such successor effective upon its appointment. Upon the effective date of an Agent's resignation, such Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent hereunder immediately shall terminate, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Agent on behalf of Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed). After an Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12 shall continue to inure to such Agent's benefit as to any actions taken or not taken by such Agent while acting as Agent.
12.10. Copies of Statements and Financial Information. Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of the monthly loan account statement delivered by Agent to Borrowers. In addition, Agent agrees to provide Lenders with copies of all financial statements, projections and business plans of Borrowers that Agent receives from Borrowers or their advisors from time to time, without any duty to confirm or verify that such information is true, correct or complete.
12.11. Payments of Principal, Interest and Fees. After Agent's receipt of any principal payments, or any interest and fees earned under this Agreement, Agent agrees to remit promptly to Lenders its respective Pro Rata Percentages of:
(a) fees payable by Borrowers hereunder, provided that except as otherwise set forth herein, Lenders shall not share the fees required to be paid pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement, and (ii) the Unused Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitment Fee shall be payable to the Lenders holding Delayed Draw Term Loan Commitments during the time such fee accrued; and
(b) principal and interest paid on the applicable Term Loans.
SECTION 13.
13.1. The Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees to each Lender and Agent as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. Each Guarantor hereby further agrees that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise), each Guarantor 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 Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal (collectively, the "Guaranteed Obligations").
-93-
Subject to Section 13.6 and the last sentence of this Section 13.1 below, the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which Agent or any Lender may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be paid when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Law), the Guarantors will, upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for any Borrower becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Law, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against such Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Agent and Lenders as aforesaid.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents, the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Law, and all other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States, Canada or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally.
13.2. Obligations Unconditional. The Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor under Section 13.1 are joint and several and absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 13.2 that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against any Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Section 13 until the Termination Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain joint and several and absolute and unconditional as described above:
(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
-94-
(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents shall be done or omitted;
(c) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, Agent or any Lender or Lenders as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected;
(e) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including any creditor of any Guarantor); or
(f) any other action or inaction shall occur that might constitute a surety defense (other than payment in full of the Obligations).
13.3. Reinstatement. The Guaranteed Obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 13 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any Proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify Agent and each Lender on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by Agent or such Lender 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.
13.4. Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for the benefit of Agent and Lenders: (a) any right to require Agent or any Lender, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against any Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Agent or any Lender in favor of any Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of Agent and Lenders whatsoever, and each Guarantor hereby waives the benefits of discussion and division; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or any law, rule, regulation, or order of any jurisdiction affecting any term of the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) any defense based upon Agent's or any Lender's errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor's obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor's liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that Agent and Lenders protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default under any Loan Document, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 13.2 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof (other than payment in full of the Obligations). Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation to the extent permitted by Section 13.2.
-95-
13.5. Remedies. Each Guarantor agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and Agent and Lenders, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 11.2 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 11.2) for purposes of Section 13.1 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for purposes of Section 13.1. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that its Guaranteed Obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and that Agent and Lenders may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.
13.6. Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the "Contributing Guarantors"), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a "Funding Guarantor") under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments (as defined below) exceed its Fair Share (as defined below) as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor's Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. "Fair Share" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts (as defined below) with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. "Fair Share Contribution Amount" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law or any other applicable Law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the "Fair Share Contribution Amount" with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 13.6, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. "Aggregate Payments" means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 13.6), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 13.6. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 13.6 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 13.6 and a right to receive any Fair Share Contribution Amount shall be deemed an asset of the Guarantor entitled to such amount.
-96-
13.7. Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 13 is an absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing and irrevocable guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.
13.8. Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness (including any right of subrogation or contribution) of any Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter owing to any Guarantor (the "Obligee Guarantor") is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Agent for its benefit and the benefit of Lenders and shall forthwith be paid over to Agent for its benefit and the benefit of Lenders to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.
SECTION 14.
-97-
14.2. Waivers. Borrowers hereby waive diligence, demand, presentment, protest and any notices thereof as well as notices of nonpayment, intent to accelerate and acceleration. No waiver of an Event of Default by Agent shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Agent and Required Lenders. No delay or failure of Agent or Lenders to exercise any right or remedy hereunder, whether before or after the happening of any Event of Default, shall impair any such right or remedy, or shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy, or as a waiver of such Event of Default. A waiver on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. No single or partial exercise by Agent or Lenders of any right or remedy precludes any other or further exercise thereof, or precludes any other right or remedy.
14.3. Entire Agreement; Control. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents: (a) constitute the entire agreement among Borrowers, Agent and/or Lenders; and (b) supersede any prior agreements (including the agreements set forth in the Proposal Letter and any confidentiality agreement). Should the provisions of any other Loan Document conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall apply and govern.
14.4. Usury Limit; Interest Act (Canada); Criminal Rate of Interest; Nominal Rate of Interest.
(a) In no event shall Borrowers, upon demand by Agent for payment of any Indebtedness relating hereto, by acceleration of the maturity thereof, or otherwise, be obligated to pay interest and fees in excess of the amount permitted by applicable Law. Regardless of any provision herein or in any agreement made in connection herewith, Agent and Lenders shall never be entitled to receive, charge or apply, as interest on any indebtedness relating hereto, any amount in excess of the maximum amount of interest permissible under applicable Law. If Agent or Lenders ever receive, collect or apply any such excess, it shall be deemed a partial repayment of principal and treated as such. If as a result, the entire principal amount of the Obligations is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be refunded to Borrowers. This Section 14.4 shall control every other provision of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other agreement made in connection herewith.
-98-
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, solely to the extent that (i) a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that the calculation or determination of interest payable by a Credit Party in respect of the Obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by the laws of any province of Canada or the federal laws of Canada, or (ii) the Interest Act (Canada) otherwise applies: whenever interest payable by a Credit Party is calculated on the basis of a period which is less than the actual number of days in a calendar year, each rate of interest determined pursuant to such calculation is, for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), equivalent to such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which such rate is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days used as the basis of such calculation. Each Credit Party confirms that it understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest applicable to its Obligations based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided in this Agreement.
(c) In no event shall the aggregate "interest" (as defined in Section 347 of the Criminal Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-46, as the same shall be amended, replaced or re-enacted from time to time (the "Criminal Code Section")) payable (whether by way of payment, collection or demand) by any Credit Party or any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document exceed the effective annual rate of interest on the "credit advanced" (as defined in that section) under this Agreement or such other Loan Document lawfully permitted under that section and, if any payment, collection or demand pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in respect of "interest" (as defined in that section) is determined to be contrary to the provisions of that section and the amount of such payment or collection shall be refunded by the Agent and Lenders to the Credit Parties with such "interest" deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the Criminal Code Section to result in a receipt by the Agent or such Lender of interest at a rate not in contravention of the Criminal Code Section, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary, as follows: firstly, by reducing the amounts or rates of interest required to be paid to the Agent or that Lender; and then, by reducing any fees, charges, expenses and other amounts required to be paid to the Agent or Lender which would constitute "interest". Notwithstanding the foregoing, and after giving effect to all such adjustments, if the Agent or any Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by the Criminal Code Section, then the relevant Credit Parties shall be entitled, by notice in writing to the Agent or affected Lender, to obtain reimbursement from the Agent or that Lender in an amount equal to such excess. For the purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which any Credit Party is a party, the effective annual rate of interest payable by the Credit Parties shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted actuarial practices and principles over the term of the loans on the basis of annual compounding for the lawfully permitted rate of interest and, in the event of dispute, a certificate of a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries appointed by the Agent for the account of Credit Parties will be conclusive for the purpose of such determination in the absence of evidence to the contrary.
(d) Any provision of this Agreement that would oblige any Credit Party to pay any fine, penalty or rate of interest on any arrears of principal or interest secured by a mortgage on real property or hypothec on immovables that has the effect of increasing the charge on arrears beyond the rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears shall not apply to such Credit Party with respect to such portion of the Obligations, which shall be required to pay interest on money in arrears with respect thereto (and not other Obligations) at the same rate of interest payable on principal money not in arrears.
-99-
14.5. Severability. If any provision hereof or of any other Loan Document is held to be illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable, and the remaining provisions of the applicable agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by such provision's severance. Furthermore, in lieu of any such provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of the applicable agreement a legal and enforceable provision as similar in terms to the severed provision as may be possible.
14.6. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; SERVICE OF PROCESS; CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.
(a) TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE CREDIT PARTIES, AGENT AND LENDERS HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREUNDER. EACH CREDIT PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICE FOR BORROWER REPRESENTATIVE PURSUANT TO SECTION 14.7 BELOW.
(b) IN NO EVENT WILL AGENT OR LENDERS BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS OR OTHER SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
14.7. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including prepaid overnight courier, facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such party at its address or facsimile number set forth below (or, in the case of any such Lender who becomes a Lender after the date hereof, in an assignment agreement or in a notice delivered to Borrower Representative and Agent by the assignee Lender forthwith upon such assignment) or at such other address or facsimile number as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to Agent and Borrower Representative:

14.8. CHOICE OF LAW; VENUE. THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT INCLUDES AN EXPRESS ELECTION TO BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. EACH CREDIT PARTY, EACH LENDER AND AGENT HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY (BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN) OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS; PROVIDED THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT AGENT'S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND.

-101-
14.9. Publications. No Credit Party will in the future issue any press releases or other public disclosure using the name "Oxford Finance LLC" or any other Lender or referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without at least two (2) Business Days' prior notice to Oxford or such Lender, as applicable, and without the prior written consent of Oxford or such Lender, as applicable, unless (and only to the extent that) such Credit Party is required to do so under applicable Law and then, in any event, such Credit Party will consult with Oxford or such Lender, as applicable, before issuing such press release or other public disclosure to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law. Each Credit Party expressly consents to and authorizes disclosure by Agent and Lenders of customary information concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to loan syndication and pricing reporting services. Each Credit Party and each Lender hereby authorizes Agent, at its own expense, to make appropriate announcements of the financial arrangement entered into among the Credit Parties, Agent and Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, including announcements which are commonly known as "tombstones", in such publications and to such parties as Agent shall in its sole and absolute discretion deem appropriate.
14.10. Counterparts; Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or other electronic transmission. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually signed originals and shall be binding on the parties. Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.
14.11. Assignments; Participations.
(a) Assignments.
(i) No Borrower shall have the right to assign this Agreement or any interest therein except with the prior written consent of Agent and all Lenders.
(ii) Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Loans at, to or for the account of, any Affiliate of such Lender.
-102-
(iii) Each Lender may, with the consent of Agent but without the consent of any other Lender or Credit Party, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) for each such assignment, the parties thereto shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register (as defined below), an Assignment and Transfer Agreement, and a processing and recordation fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($3,500.00) to be paid by the assignee, and (ii) no such assignment shall be for less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) (or, if less, all of the assignor's remaining Loans and Commitments). Upon such execution and delivery of the Assignment and Transfer Agreement to Agent, from and after the date specified as the effective date in the Assignment and Transfer Agreement, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto, and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Transfer Agreement, such assignee shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Transfer Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights it may have pursuant to this Agreement which by their terms will survive) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Transfer Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(iv) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Transfer Agreement, the assignee thereunder confirms and agrees as follows: (a) other than as provided in such Assignment and Transfer Agreement, the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (b) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Credit Party or the performance or observance by any Credit Party of its obligations under this Agreement, (c) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 8.8 of this Agreement and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Transfer Agreement, (d) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (e) such assignee appoints and authorizes Agent (including its capacity as the Hypothecary Representative) to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (f) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
-103-
(v) Agent shall maintain (acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers) at its address referred to in Section 14.7 of this Agreement a copy of each Assignment and Transfer Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, the Commitments of each Lender and principal and any stated interest amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (collectively, the "Register"). No assignment of any rights or obligations under or in respect of the Loans or the Promissory Notes evidencing such Loans shall be effective unless and until Agent shall have recorded the assignment in the Register, and the entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register and copies of each Assignment and Transfer Agreement shall be available for inspection by Borrowers, Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. Each Borrower hereby designates Agent to serve as such Borrower's agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register (the "Register") as provided in this Section, and each Borrower hereby agrees that the entity serving as Registrar and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees shall constitute an Indemnified Party under Section 11.5. At the request of the registered Lender, the Registrar shall note a collateral assignment of a Loan in favor of an Eligible Assignee on the Register and, provided that the Registrar has been given the name and address of such collateral assignee and such assignee is an Eligible Assignee, the Registrar (i) shall not permit any further transfers of any Loan on the Register absent receipt of written consent to such transfers from such collateral assignee and (ii) shall record the transfer of such Loan on the Register to such collateral assignee (or such collateral assignee's designee, nominee or assignee that is also an Eligible Assignee) upon written request by such collateral assignee. It is intended that the Register be maintained such that the Loans are in "registered form" for the purposes of the Code.
(vi) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Transfer Agreement executed by an assigning Lender, Agent shall, if such Assignment and Transfer Agreement has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, (a) accept such Assignment and Transfer Agreement, (b) record the information contained therein in the Register and (c) give prompt notice thereof to Borrower Representative if such Assignment and Transfer Agreement is to a Person that is not a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, each Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent in exchange for the surrendered Promissory Note or Promissory Notes, a new Promissory Note or Promissory Notes to the order of the assignee in amounts equal to such assignee's Commitments and outstanding Loans hereunder and, if the assigning Lender has retained a portion of the Loans, a new Promissory Note or Promissory Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the remaining Commitments and outstanding Loans hereunder of such assigning Lender under the terms of this Agreement. Such new Promissory Note or Promissory Notes shall re-evidence the indebtedness outstanding under the old Promissory Note or Promissory Notes and shall be in the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Promissory Note or Promissory Notes, shall be dated of even date herewith and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the Promissory Note or Promissory Notes subject to such assignment.
-104-
(b) Participations and Financings.
(i) Each Lender may sell participations (without the consent of Agent, any Credit Party or any other Lender) to one or more Eligible Assignees (each, a "Participant"), in or to all (or a portion) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Commitments 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; (iii) Borrowers, Agent, and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement; (iv) such Lender shall not transfer, grant, assign or sell any participation under which the Participant shall have rights to approve any amendment or waiver of this Agreement; and (v) each such Lender selling such participations complies with the Participant Register provisions described below. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant's interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the "Participant Register"); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in "registered form" for the purposes of the Code, including under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error and no participation shall be transferable except as record in the Participant Register. Such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.9 as if it were a Lender provided that such Participant complies with the form delivery requirements of Section 5.9(e) by providing such forms to the participating Lender.
(ii) Each Lender may (without the consent of Agent, any Credit Party or any other Lender) transfer, assign, pledge or collaterally assign and grant a security interest in or to all (or a portion) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement in connection with its own financing or securitization transactions, including all rights, benefits, warranties, representations, covenants, indemnities and remedies, and all proceeds of the foregoing, contained in this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents and, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, there shall be no requirement, limitation or restriction on the ability of each such transferee, pledgee or assignee to foreclose upon and further assign or otherwise transfer all (or a portion) of such rights upon the occurrence of a default, event of default or similar occurrence with respect to such financing or securitization transaction; provided that in each case, no such transfer, pledge or assignment shall be made to any Person that is not an Eligible Assignee, or release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such transferee, pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto unless such transferee, pledgee or assignee executes and delivers to Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Transfer Agreement, and a processing and recordation fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($3,500.00) to be paid by the assignee.
(iii) In connection with the efforts of any Lender to assign its rights or obligations or to participate in interests, subject to compliance with applicable Laws, such Lender may disclose any information in its possession regarding the Credit Parties in compliance with Section 14.14.
-105-
14.12. Sharing of Liabilities. In the event that Agent or any Lender is sued or threatened with a suit, action or claim by any Credit Party, or by a creditor, committee of creditors, trustee, receiver, interim receiver, monitor, liquidator, custodian, administrator or other similar official acting for or on behalf of the Credit Parties (or any of them), on account of (a) any preference, fraudulent conveyance or other voidable transfer alleged to have occurred or been received as a result of the operation of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) any lender liability theory based on any action taken or not taken by such Person in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, any money paid in satisfaction or compromise of such suit, action, claim or demand, and any expenses, costs and attorneys' fees paid or incurred in connection therewith (whether by Agent or any Lender), shall be shared proportionately by Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Percentages, except to the extent that such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct directly gave rise to such suit, action or claim. In addition, any costs, expenses, fees or disbursements incurred by agents or attorneys retained by Agent to collect the Obligations or enforce any rights in the Collateral, including enforcing, preserving or maintaining rights under this Agreement, shall be shared among Lenders according to their respective Pro Rata Percentages to the extent not reimbursed by Borrowers or from the Proceeds of Collateral. The provisions of this Section 14.12 shall not apply to any Proceedings or claims that (a) are filed or asserted prior to the Closing Date or (b) are based on transactions, actions or omissions occurring prior to the date of this Agreement.
14.13. Exercise of Setoff Rights. The Credit Parties authorize each Lender, and each Lender shall have the right, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice, to setoff and apply against any and all Property of any Credit Party held by, or in the possession of such Lender, any of the Obligations owed to such Lender. Promptly after the exercise of any right to set-off, Lender exercising such right irrevocably agrees to purchase for cash (and the other Lenders irrevocably agree to sell) participation interests in each other Lender's outstanding Loans as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount of the property set-off with the other Lenders based on each Lender's Pro Rata Percentage. Each Credit Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, that any Lender also may exercise its right to setoff with respect to amounts in excess of such Lender's Pro Rata Percentage of the Obligations then outstanding, and may purchase participation interests in the amounts so setoff from the other Lenders, and upon doing so shall deliver such excess to Agent, for distribution to the other Lenders in settlement of the participation purchases described above in this Section 14.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall independently take any action to enforce or protect its rights arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including the exercise of any right of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent or Required Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action shall be taken in concert and at the direction of Agent or Required Lenders. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower Representative, Agent and each other Lender after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
-106-
14.14. Confidentiality. Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its and its Affiliates' directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, Rating Agencies (as defined below), portfolio management servicers, legal counsel and other advisors on a need to know basis (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process; provided that Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify Borrower Representative as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person unless such notification is prohibited by applicable Law, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 14.14 to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (g) with the consent of Borrower Representative or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available, other than as a result of a breach of this Section 14.14 or (ii) becomes available to Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than a Credit Party or Parent (so long as such source is not actually known to Agent or such Lender to be bound by confidentiality obligations to any Credit Party or Parent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and each Lender may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions described herein and all materials of any kind (including opinions and tax analysis) that have been provided to such Persons relating to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions described herein (it being understood that this authorization is retroactively effective to the commencement of the first discussions between or among any of the parties regarding the transactions described herein). For the purposes of this Section 14.14, (i) "Information" means all information received from any Credit Party relating to any Credit Party, Parent or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Credit Party, and any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 14.14 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information; and (ii) "Rating Agencies" means Xxxxx'x Investor Services, Inc., Standard and Poor's Financial Services LLC, Fitch Ratings Inc., or any other nationally recognized rating agency or service. The obligations of any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 14.14 shall continue with respect to any item of Information for only so long as the item of Information has or retains a confidential nature, but in no event beyond a period of three (3) years from the Termination Date. In no event shall Agent or any Lender be obligated or required to return any Information or other materials furnished by a Credit Party.
14.15. Amendments; Agent's Discretionary Rights. No provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended, waived or otherwise modified unless such amendment, waiver or other modification is in writing and is signed by Borrowers and Required Lenders (and, if (x) any amendment, waiver or other modification would increase such Lender's funding obligations in respect of any Loan, by such Lender and (y) the rights or duties of Agent are affected thereby, by Agent); provided that no such amendment, waiver or other modification shall, (a) unless signed by each Lender directly affected thereby, amend or waive Borrowers' compliance with any term or provision of this Agreement, if the effect of such amendment or waiver would be to (i) reduce the principal of, or rate of interest on, the Loans (other than the application of Default Rate of Interest and with respect to any mandatory prepayments under Section 3.3(c)), (ii) reduce or waive the payment of any fee in which all Lenders share hereunder or (iii) extend the Maturity Date or the date fixed for payment of any installment of principal thereof or any interest or fee; or (b) unless signed by each Lender, (i) alter or amend the definition of "Required Lenders", (ii) except as otherwise expressly permitted or required hereunder, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or Guaranties in any transaction or series of related transactions; or (iii) amend any provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder. In all other respects Agent is authorized to take or to refrain from taking any action which Agent, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, deems to be advisable and in the best interest of Lenders, unless this Agreement specifically requires Borrowers or Agent to obtain the consent of, or act at the direction of, Required Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion to (i) release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document (1) upon the Termination Date, (2) that is sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other Permitted Disposition permitted hereunder or under any Involuntary Disposition, or (3) as approved in accordance with Section 14.15; (ii) subordinate any Lien on any Property granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such Property securing Permitted Purchase Money Indebtedness; and (iii) amend any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in order to cure any error, ambiguity, defect or inconsistency set forth therein. In the event Agent or Required Lenders terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof, Agent and Required Lenders agree to cease making additional loans or advances upon the effective date of termination, except for expenses which Agent in its sole discretion determines are reasonably required to preserve, protect or realize upon the Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased or extended, and a change in the principal of, or interest on, the Loans made by such Defaulting Lender and any date fixed for payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans made by such Defaulting Lender may not be made without the consent of such Lender.
-107-
14.16. Deemed Consent. If a Lender's consent to a waiver amendment or other course of action is required under the terms of this Agreement and such Lender does not respond to any request by Agent for such consent within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such request, such failure to respond shall be deemed a consent to the requested course of action.
14.17. Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Credit Party in respect of any such sum due from it to Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the "Judgment Currency") other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the "Agreement Currency"), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender from any Credit Party in the Agreement Currency, such Credit Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to Agent or any Lender in such currency, Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Credit Party (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
-108-
SECTION 15.
Inter-Borrower Provisions; Joint and Several Liability
15.1. Joint and Several Liability. The Loans made to Borrowers shall be deemed jointly funded to, and received by, Borrowers. Each Borrower jointly and severally agrees to pay, and shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment and performance of, all Obligations directly incurred by each other Borrower, regardless of whether such Borrower actually receives the proceeds of the indebtedness governed hereby or the benefit of any other extensions of credit hereunder. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the joint and several liability of Borrowers is provided as an inducement to Agent and Lenders to provide loans and other financial accommodations to Borrowers, and that each such Loan or other financial accommodation shall be deemed to have been done or extended by Agent and Lenders in consideration of, and in reliance upon, the joint and several liability of Borrowers. The joint and several liability of each Borrower hereunder is absolute, unconditional and continuing, regardless of the validity or enforceability of any of the Obligations, or the fact that a security interest or Lien in any Collateral may not be enforceable or subject to equities or defenses or prior claims in favor of others, or may be invalid or defective in any way and for any reason. Each Borrower hereby waives: (i) all notices to which such Borrower may be entitled as a co-obligor with respect to the Obligations, including notice of (x) acceptance of this Agreement, (y) the making of Loans or other financial accommodations under this Agreement, or the creation or existence of the Obligations, and (z) presentment, demand, protest, notice of protest and notice of non-payment; and (ii) all defenses based on (w) any modification (or series of modifications) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, that may create a substituted contract, or that may fundamentally alter the risks imposed on such Borrower hereunder, (x) the release of any other Borrower from its duties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the extension of the time of performance of any other Borrower's duties hereunder or thereunder, (y) the taking, releasing, impairment or abandonment of any Collateral, or the settlement, release or compromise of the Obligations or any other Borrower's liabilities with respect to all or any portion of the Obligations, or (z) any other act (or any failure to act) that fundamentally alters the risks imposed on such Borrower by virtue of its joint and several liability hereunder. It is the intent of each Borrower by this paragraph to waive any and all suretyship defenses available to such Borrower with respect to the Obligations, whether or not specifically enumerated above. Borrowers acknowledge that the credit provided hereunder is on terms more favorable than any Borrower acting alone would receive and that each Borrower benefits directly and indirectly from the Loans made hereunder. Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for all Obligations regardless of, inter alia, which Borrower received proceeds of the Loans.
-109-
15.2. Subrogation and Contribution Rights. Each Borrower hereby agrees that until the Termination Date, such Borrower will not exercise any subrogation, contribution or other right or remedy against any other Borrower or against any security for any of the Obligations arising by reason of such Borrower's performance or satisfaction of its joint and several liability hereunder. In addition, each Borrower agrees that (i) such Borrower's right to receive any payment of amounts due with respect to such subrogation, contribution or other rights is subordinated to the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Obligations, and (ii) such Borrower agrees not to demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any such payment until the Termination Date.
15.3. Certain Borrower Acknowledgments and Agreements.
(a) Each Borrower acknowledges that it will enjoy significant benefits from the business conducted by the other Borrowers because of, inter alia, their combined ability to bargain with other Persons including their ability to receive the credit extensions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on favorable terms granted by this Agreement and other Loan Documents which would not have been available to an individual Borrower acting alone. Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest to procure the Credit Facility contemplated hereunder, with the credit support of the other Borrowers as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Agent and Lenders have advised Borrowers that each of them is unwilling to enter into this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and make available the Credit Facility extended hereby or thereby to any Borrower unless each Borrower agrees, among other things, to be jointly and severally liable for the due and proper payment of the Obligations of each other Borrower under this Agreement and other Loan Documents. Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest and in pursuit of its purposes that it so induce Agent and Lenders to extend credit pursuant to this Agreement and the other documents executed in connection herewith (i) because of the desirability to each Borrower of the Credit Facility hereunder and the interest rates and the modes of borrowing available hereunder and thereunder, (ii) because each Borrower may engage in transactions jointly with the other Borrowers and (iii) because each Borrower may require, from time to time, access to funds under this Agreement for the purposes herein set forth.
(c) Each Borrower has determined that it is and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (including the inter-Borrower arrangement set forth in this Section 15) will have assets having a fair saleable value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as they fall due for payment and that the sum of its debts is not and will not then be greater than all of its Property at a fair valuation, that such Borrower has and will have, access to adequate capital for the conduct of its business and the ability to pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature and that the value of the benefits to be derived by such Borrower from the access to funds under this Agreement (including the inter-Borrower arrangement set forth in this Section 15) is reasonably equivalent to the Obligations undertaken pursuant hereto.
(d) Borrower Representative (on behalf of each Borrower) shall maintain records specifying (i) all Obligations incurred by each Borrower, (ii) the date of such incurrence, (iii) the date and amount of any payments made in respect of such Obligations, and (iv) all inter-Borrower obligations pursuant to this Section 15. Borrower Representative shall make copies of such records available to Agent, upon request.
-110-
15.4. Maximum Amount of Joint and Several Liability. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the primary and secondary nature of the liabilities of Borrowers, and the security interests granted by Borrowers to secure the Obligations directly incurred by any Borrower not constitute a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the applicable provisions of any fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar Law of any state, nation or other governmental unit, as in effect from time to time or otherwise be rendered invalid or unenforceable due to the nature of the joint and several liability. Accordingly, Agent, Lenders and Borrowers agree that if the obligations and liabilities of any Borrower hereunder or under any Loan Document, or any security interests granted by such Borrower securing the Obligations would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable Law, or would otherwise render Borrower's Obligations or the security interests granted herein invalid or unenforceable, the Obligations of such Borrower hereunder, as well as the security interests securing such Obligations and liabilities, shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause such Obligations, liabilities or security interests to constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable Law or otherwise result in such invalidity or unenforceability; provided, however, that each Borrower's Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to their fullest extent in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, as if this Section 15.4 were not a part of this Agreement.
15.5. Authorization of Borrower Representative by Borrowers. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and appoints Borrower Representative, as agent for such Borrower on its behalf, to (i) request Loans from Agent and Lenders, (ii) to give and receive notices under the Loan Documents and (iii) take all other action which Borrower Representative or Borrowers are permitted or required to take under this Agreement, including to give notices, make requests, make payments, receive payments and notices, give receipts and execute agreements, make agreements or take any other action whatsoever on behalf of such Borrower under and with respect to any Loan Document and each Borrower shall be bound thereby. This authorization is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and Agent and Lenders may rely on any notice, request, information supplied by Borrower Representative, every document executed by Borrower Representative, every agreement made by Borrower Representative or other action taken by Borrower Representative in respect of Borrowers or any thereof as if the same were supplied, made or taken by any or all Borrowers. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the failure of one or more Borrowers to join in the execution of any writing in connection herewith shall not, unless the context clearly requires, relieve any such Borrower from obligations in respect of such writing.

1
X = Y(A-B)/A
where:
X = | the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder; |

A = | the Fair Market Value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.3 below) of one Share; and |

1.3 Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Warrant, “Fair Market Value” shall mean the following: If the Company’s Shares are then traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”), the Fair Market Value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a Share reported on the TSX (or another stock exchange where the majority of the trading volume and value of the Shares occurs). If the Company’s Shares are not then traded on the TSX, but are traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) or on another nationally recognized Canadian or U.S. securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market (an “Other Market”) (any of the TSX, Nasdaq or Other Market, a “Trading Market”), the Fair Market Value of a Share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a Share reported on the Nasdaq or Other Market, as elected by the Holder in its sole discretion, for the Business Day immediately before the date on which the Holder delivers this Warrant, together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Company’s Shares are not traded on a Trading Market, the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine the Fair Market Value of a Share in its reasonable good faith judgment.
1.4 Delivery of Certificate and New Warrant. Within a reasonable time after the Holder exercises this Warrant in the manner set forth in Sections 1.1 or 1.2 above, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a certificate representing the Shares (or in the case of non-certificated Shares, other evidences of entitlement) issued to the Holder upon such exercise and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant of like tenor representing the Shares not so acquired.

1.6 Treatment of Warrant Upon Acquisition of the Company.
(a) Acquisition. For the purpose of this Warrant, “Acquisition” means any transaction or series of related transactions involving: (i) the sale, lease, exclusive license, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity (other than a merger or consolidation effected exclusively to change the Company’s domicile), or any other corporate reorganization, in which the shareholders of the Company in their capacity as such immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization, own less than a majority of the Company’s (or the surviving or successor entity’s) outstanding voting power immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization (or, if such Company shareholders beneficially own a majority of the outstanding voting power of the surviving or successor entity as of immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization, such surviving or successor entity is not the Company); or (iii) any sale or other transfer by the shareholders of the Company of shares representing at least a majority of the Company’s then-total outstanding combined voting power.
2
(b) Treatment of Warrant at Acquisition. In the event of an Acquisition in which the consideration to be received by the Company’s shareholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities (as defined below) or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Acquisition”), then, subject to Section 1.6(c), either (i) the Holder shall exercise this Warrant pursuant to Sections 1.1 or 1.2 and such exercise will be deemed effective immediately prior to and contingent upon the consummation of such Acquisition or (ii) if the Holder elects not to exercise the Warrant, this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition.
(c) The Company shall provide the Holder with written notice of its request relating to the Cash/Public Acquisition (together with such reasonable information as the Holder may reasonably require regarding the treatment of this Warrant in connection with such contemplated Cash/Public Acquisition giving rise to such notice), which is to be delivered to the Holder not less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the closing of the proposed Cash/Public Acquisition. In the event the Company does not provide such notice, then if, immediately prior to closing of the Cash/Public Acquisition, the Fair Market Value of one Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above would be greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 above as to all Shares (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised, and the Company shall promptly notify the Holder of the number of Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to the Holder and the Holder shall be deemed to have restated each of the representations and warranties in Section 4 of this Warrant as of the date thereof.
(d) Upon the closing of any Acquisition other than a Cash/Public Acquisition, the acquiring, surviving or successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same securities and/or other property as would have been paid for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition, subject to further adjustment from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.
(e) As used in this Warrant, “Marketable Securities” means securities meeting all of the following requirements: (A) (i) the issuer thereof is then subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or the corresponding reporting requirements of the Securities Act, and is then current in its filing of all required reports and other information under the U.S. Securities Act, the Exchange Act and/or the Securities Act, as applicable; or (ii) the issuer thereof is a “reporting issuer” as such term is defined in the Securities Act; (B) the class and series of shares or other security of the issuer that would be received by the Holder in connection with the Acquisition were the Holder to exercise this Warrant on or prior to the closing thereof is then traded on a Trading Market; and (C) following the closing of such Acquisition, the Holder would not be restricted from publicly re-selling all of the issuer’s shares and/or other securities that would be received by the Holder in such Acquisition were the Holder to exercise or convert this Warrant in full on or prior to the closing of such Acquisition, except to the extent that any such restriction (x) arises solely under U.S. or Canadian federal, provincial or state securities laws, rules or regulations, or (y) is included in a lock-up or standstill agreement that does not extend beyond six (6) months from the closing of such Acquisition.
SECTION 2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.
2.1 Share Dividends, Share Splits, Share Consolidations, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the Class payable in Common Shares or other securities or property (other than cash) (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Shares issued by the Company upon the prior exercise of a portion of this Warrant), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, the Holder shall receive, without additional cost to the Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property which the Holder would have received had the Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased. If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased.
3
2.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Class are reclassified, converted, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that the Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations, substitutions, replacements or other similar events.
2.3 Merger or Reorganization. If at any time there shall be any reorganization, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (a “Reorganization”) involving the Company (other than an Acquisition which is subject to the provisions of Section 1.6) in which the Company’s Shares are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, as a part of such Reorganization, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization, equivalent in value to that which a holder of the Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such Reorganization if the right to purchase the Shares hereunder had been exercised immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the successor corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after the event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities deliverable after that event upon the exercise of this Warrant.
2.4 No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying the Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (i) the Fair Market Value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.3 above) of a full Share, less (ii) the then-effective Warrant Price.
2.5 Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price and/or number of Shares, the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall notify the Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price and/or number of Shares and the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from the Holder, furnish the Holder with a certificate of its Chief Financial Officer, including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.
SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
3.1 Representations and Warranties. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Holder as follows:
(a) All Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and all securities, if any, issuable upon conversion of the Shares, shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free of any liens and encumbrances except for restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable U.S. and/or Canadian federal, provincial and state securities laws. The Company covenants that it shall at all times keep available, and reserve if necessary under applicable law, out of its authorized and unissued share capital such number of common shares as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant into Shares of the Class.
(b) The authorized capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares and an unlimited number of preferred shares, and as at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date hereof, [ ] Common Shares were issued and outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable shares in the capital of the Corporation, and [ ] Common Shares are issuable under options and convertible securities. There is sufficient authorized capital for the issuance of all Common Shares issuable on exercise of all outstanding convertible securities of the Corporation.
4
3.2 Notice of Certain Events. If the Company proposes at any time to:
(a) declare any dividend or distribution upon the outstanding shares of the Class, whether in cash, property, shares, or other securities and whether or not a regular cash dividend;
(b) offer for subscription or sale pro rata to the holders of the outstanding shares of the Class any additional shares of any class or series of the Company’s share capital (other than pursuant to contractual pre-emptive rights);
(c) effect any reclassification, exchange, combination, substitution, reorganization or recapitalization of the outstanding shares of the Class; or
(d) effect an Acquisition or to liquidate, dissolve or wind up;
then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall give the Holder:
(1) at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice of the date on which a record will be taken for such dividend, distribution, or subscription rights (and specifying the date on which the holders of outstanding shares of the Class will be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote, if any, in respect of the matters referred to in (a) and (b) above; and
(2) in the case of the matters referred to in (c) and (d) above, at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice of the date when the same will take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of outstanding shares of the Class will be entitled to exchange their shares for the securities or other property deliverable upon the occurrence of such event).
Reference is made to Section 1.6(c) whereby this Warrant may be deemed to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof if the Company does not give written notice to the Holder of a Cash/Public Acquisition as required by the terms hereof. Company will also provide information requested by the Holder that is reasonably necessary to enable the Holder to comply with the Holder’s accounting or reporting requirements.
