SECTION 2.1. LINE OF CREDIT.

-15-


advances to Borrower from time to time up to and including April 1, 2015 in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Line of Credit Lender’s commitment set forth opposite such Line of Credit Lender’s name on Annex A attached hereto (or in the applicable assignment and assumption) (the “Line of Credit”).

Borrower acknowledges that said borrowing base was established by Agent with the understanding that, among other items, the aggregate of all returns, rebates, discounts, credits and allowances made to accounts receivable (exclusive of the initial adjustment to record revenue at net at the time of billing) for the immediately preceding three (3) months at all times shall be less than twenty percent (20%) of Borrower’s gross sales for said period. If such dilution of Borrower’s accounts for the immediately preceding three (3) months at any time exceeds twenty percent (20%) of Borrower’s gross sales for said period, or if there at any time exists any other matters, events, conditions or contingencies which Agent reasonably believes may affect payment of any portion of Borrower’s accounts, Agent, in its sole discretion, may reduce the foregoing advance rate against the Companies Eligible Accounts Receivable to a percentage appropriate to reflect such additional dilution and/or establish additional reserves against the Companies Eligible Accounts Receivable.

As used in this Section 2.1, Borrower and each of its Operating Subsidiaries may be referred to collectively as the “Companies” and each as a “Company.”

As used herein, “Companies Eligible Accounts Receivable” shall consist solely of trade accounts created in the ordinary course of a Company’s business arising from the provision of client services, which are supported by private insurance acceptable to Agent, upon which the Company’s right to receive payment is absolute and not contingent upon the fulfillment of any condition whatsoever, and in which Agent has a perfected security interest of first priority, and shall not include:

 

  (i) any account which is more than one hundred twenty (120) days past due;

 

  (ii) any account owed by an account debtor or payor, including any insurance company (or any affiliate of such account debtor or payor), where 50% or more of all accounts owed by such account debtor or payor (or affiliates thereof) are deemed ineligible under clause (i) above;

 

-16-


  (iii) that portion of any account for which there exists any right of setoff, defense or discount (except regular discounts allowed in the ordinary course of business to promote prompt payment) or for which any defense or counterclaim has been asserted;

 

  (iv) any account which represents an obligation of any state or municipal government or of the United States government or any political subdivision thereof;

 

  (v) any account which represents an obligation of an account debtor or payor, including any insurance company, located in a foreign country;

 

  (vi) any account which arises from the sale or lease to or performance of services for, or represents an obligation of, an employee, affiliate, partner, member, parent or subsidiary of any Company;

 

  (vii) that portion of any account, which represents interim or progress billings or retention rights on the part of the account debtor or payor, including any insurance company;

 

  (viii) that portion of any account which is not covered by insurance;

 

  (ix) that portion of any account from an account debtor or payor, including any insurance company, to whom a Company owes a trade payable, but only to the extent of such trade payable;

 

  (x) that portion of any account in respect of which a credit loss has been recognized or reserved by any Company, but only to the extent of such loss or reserve;

 

  (xi) any account with respect to which the account debtor or payor, including any insurance company, is subject to an Insolvency Proceeding, is not Solvent, has gone out of business, or as to which a Company has received notice of an imminent Insolvency Proceeding or a material impairment of the financial condition of such account debtor or payor (as used herein, the term “Insolvency Proceeding” means any proceeding commenced by or against any Person under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or under any other state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law, assignments for the benefit of creditors, formal or informal moratoria, compositions, extensions generally with creditors, or proceedings seeking reorganization, arrangement, or other similar relief);

 

  (xii) any account deemed ineligible by Agent when Agent, in its good faith credit judgment, deems the creditworthiness or financial condition of the account debtor or payor, including any insurance company, or the industry in which any such account debtor or payor is engaged, to be unsatisfactory.

 

-17-


(c) Making Loans under the Line of Credit. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.2, the Borrower may borrow under the Line of Credit on any Business Day, provided that the Borrower (either by Michael T. Cartwright, Jerrod N.

Manz) shall give the Agent an irrevocable notice in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Borrowing Notice”), which notice must be received by the Agent prior to 10:00 a.m., California time) three (3) Business Days prior to the requested borrowing date specifying (x) the amount of the proposed borrowing and (y) the requested date of the borrowing. Promptly following receipt of any such Borrowing Notice, the Agent shall notify each Line of Credit Lender of the date of the borrowing and the amount of such Line of Credit Lender’s pro rata share of the borrowing. Not later than 12:00 noon, California time, on the date specified for any such borrowing, each Line of Credit Lender shall deposit immediately available funds in the amount of its pro rata share of such borrowing to the account of the Agent. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.2, the Agent will make available the proceeds of all such borrowing to the Borrower by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Agent, or as otherwise directed by the Borrower. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Line of Credit Lender prior to the date of any borrowing that such Line of Credit Lender will not make available to the Agent such Line of Credit Lender’s ratable portion of such borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Line of Credit Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.1(c) and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Line of Credit Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Line of Credit Lender and, in the case of a Line of Credit Lender other than Agent, the Borrower agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at (A) in the case of such Line of Credit Lender, the Federal Funds Rate and (B) in the case of the Borrower, with respect to a Line of Credit Lender other than Agent, the interest rate applicable at the time to such borrowing. If such Line of Credit Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Line of Credit Lender’s pro rata share of such borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. The failure of any Line of Credit Lender to make available its pro rata share of any borrowing hereunder shall not relieve any other Line of Credit Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder, to make available its pro rata share of such borrowing on the date of such borrowing, but no Line of Credit Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Line of Credit Lender to make available its pro rata share of any borrowing on the date of any borrowing.

(d) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of the Line of Credit borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions contained herein or in the Line of Credit Note; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit shall not at any time exceed the maximum principal amount available thereunder, as set forth above.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, the Borrower agrees to indemnify, pay and hold the Agent and each Lender, and the shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents of the Agent and each Lender, harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (whether or not any of the foregoing Persons is a party to any litigation), including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and costs of investigation, document production, attendance at a deposition, or other discovery, with respect to or arising out of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or any use of proceeds hereunder, or any claim, demand, action or cause of action being asserted against any Loan Party (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such Persons. This covenant shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the outstanding Notes.

SECTION 9.5. SUCCESSORS, ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties; provided, however, that neither Holdings nor Borrower may assign or transfer its interests or rights hereunder without Agent’s and Lenders’ prior written consent. Each Lender reserves the right to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate or grant participations in all or any part of, or any interest in, such Lender’s rights and benefits under each of the Loan Documents. In connection therewith, Agent or such Lender may disclose all documents and information which Agent or such Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to any credit subject hereto, Holdings or its business, Borrower or its business, and Subsidiary or its business, any guarantor hereunder or the business of such guarantor, or any collateral required hereunder.

SECTION 9.6. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT.

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement between Holdings, Borrower, Agent and the Lenders with respect to each credit subject hereto and supersede all prior negotiations, communications, discussions and correspondence concerning the subject matter hereof.

(b) No amendment or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents nor consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender affected thereby, do any of the following: (i) waive any of the conditions specified in Section 4.1, (ii) increase the commitment of such Lender hereunder or subject such Lender to any additional obligations, (iii) reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, (iv) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, (v) amend this Section 9.6(b), (vi) release all or substantially all of the Collateral unless otherwise permitted by Section 8.7 or (vii) release all or substantially all of the Guaranties; provided, further, that no

 

-47-

SECTION 9.8. INDEPENDENCE OF COVENANTS. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

SECTION 9.9. TIME. Time is of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement and each other of the Loan Documents.

SECTION 9.10. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS.

SECTION 9.11. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. NO NOVATION; AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing or termination of the indebtedness or any other obligations under the Prior Credit Agreement. All loans made and obligations incurred under the Prior Credit Agreement which are outstanding on the Closing Date shall continue as loans and obligations under (and shall be governed by the terms of) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Upon this Agreement becoming effective pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 4.2 on the Closing Date, (a) all terms and conditions of the Prior Credit Agreement and any other Loan Documents executed and delivered pursuant thereto, as amended by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents being executed and delivered in connection herewith, shall be and remain in full force and effect, as so amended; and (b) the terms and conditions of the Prior Credit Agreement shall be amended as set forth herein and, as so amended, the Prior Credit Agreement shall be restated in its entirety.

SECTION 9.13. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 9.14. ARBITRATION.

(a) Arbitration. The parties hereto agree, upon demand by any party, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their

 

-48-


respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise in any way arising out of or relating to (i) any credit subject hereto, or any of the Loan Documents, and their negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit.

(b) Governing Rules. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in California selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”); (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to herein, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law.

(c) No Waiver of Provisional Remedies, Self-Help and Foreclosure. The arbitration requirement does not limit the right of any party to (i) foreclose against real or personal property collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional or ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before during or after the pendency of any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of any party to submit any dispute to arbitration or reference hereunder, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph.

(d) Arbitrator Qualifications and Powers. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided however, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of California or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of California, in either case with a minimum of ten years’ experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of New York and may grant any remedy or

 

-49-


relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the California Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief.

(e) Discovery. In any arbitration proceeding, discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

(f) Class Proceedings and Consolidations. No party hereto shall be entitled to join or consolidate disputes by or against others in any arbitration, except parties who have executed any Loan Document, or to include in any arbitration any dispute as a representative or member of a class, or to act in any arbitration in the interest of the general public or in a private attorney general capacity.

(g) Payment Of Arbitration Costs And Fees. The arbitrator shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

(h) Real Property Collateral: Judicial Reference. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no dispute shall be submitted to arbitration if the dispute concerns indebtedness secured directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any real property unless (i) the holder of the mortgage, lien or security interest specifically elects in writing to proceed with the arbitration, or (ii) all parties to the arbitration waive any rights or benefits that might accrue to them by virtue of the single action rule statute of California, thereby agreeing that all indebtedness and obligations of the parties, and all mortgages, liens and security interests securing such indebtedness and obligations, shall remain fully valid and enforceable. If any such dispute is not submitted to arbitration, the dispute shall be referred to a referee in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et seq., and this general reference agreement is intended to be specifically enforceable in accordance with said Section 638. A referee with the qualifications required herein for arbitrators shall be selected pursuant to the AAA’s selection procedures. Judgment upon the decision rendered by a referee shall be entered in the court in which such proceeding was commenced in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645.

(i) Miscellaneous. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of

 

-50-


information by a party required in the ordinary course of its business or by applicable law or regulation. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the parties potentially applies to a dispute, the arbitration provision most directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the dispute shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the parties.

(j) Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each party retains the right to pursue in Small Claims Court any dispute within that court’s jurisdiction. Further, this arbitration provision shall apply only to disputes in which either party seeks to recover an amount of money (excluding attorneys’ fees and costs) that exceeds the jurisdictional limit of the Small Claims Court.

Exceptions to 2013 Interim Financials

As a result of the 2013 annual audit, adjustments were identified that impacted the previously issued 2013 Interim Financials. In the opinion of the Borrower’s management, the adjustments were not material to the 2013 Interim Financials for the periods ending March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013. However, the Borrower has elected to revise the 2013 Interim Financials for the periods ending March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013 to reflect those adjustments. The adjustments related to the 2013 Interim Financials for the period ending September 30, 2013 (all of which have been disclosed in writing to Agent prior to the Closing Date) were material and the Borrower is in the process of revising the 2013 Interim Financials for that period. All of these adjustments will be reflected in the 2013 audited financial statements.

Exhibit A

AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT NOTE

 

$[            ]    [            ]
   [            ], 20[    ]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned AMERICAN ADDICTION CENTERS, INC. (formerly known as FORTERUS, INC.), a Nevada corporation (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of [            ] (“Lender”) at its office at [            ], or at such other place as the holder hereof may designate, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal sum of [            ] Dollars ($[            ]), or so much thereof as may be advanced and be outstanding, with interest thereon, to be computed on each advance from the date of its disbursement as set forth herein.

This Note is made pursuant to and is subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among AAC HOLDINGS, INC., a Nevada corporation, Borrower, the lenders party hereto from time to time, and WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent and collateral agent (together with its successors and assigns, the “Agent”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

 

1. DEFINITIONS:

As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth after each, and any other term defined in this Note shall have the meaning set forth at the place defined:

(a) “Daily One Month LIBOR” means, for any day, the rate of interest equal to LIBOR then in effect for delivery for a one (1) month period.

(b) “LIBOR” means the rate of interest per annum determined by Agent based on the rate for United States dollar deposits for delivery of funds for one (1) month as reported on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 page (or any successor page) at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, or, for any day not a London Business Day, the immediately preceding London Business Day (or if not so reported, then as determined by Agent from another recognized source or interbank quotation).

(c) “London Business Day” means any day that is a day for trading by and between banks in Dollar deposits in the London interbank market.

 

2. INTEREST:

(a) Interest. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) at a fluctuating rate per annum determined by Agent to be the sum of the Daily One Month LIBOR in effect from time to time


plus the Applicable Margin. Each of Agent and Lender is hereby authorized to note the date and interest rate applicable to this Note and any payments made thereon on Agent’s and Lender’s books and records (either manually or by electronic entry) and/or on any schedule attached to this Note, which notations shall be prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information noted.

(b) Taxes and Regulatory Costs. Borrower shall pay to Lender immediately upon demand, in addition to any other amounts due or to become due hereunder, any and all (i) withholdings, interest equalization taxes, stamp taxes or other taxes (except income and franchise taxes) imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR, and (ii) costs, expenses and liabilities arising from or in connection with reserve percentages prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor) for “Eurocurrency Liabilities” (as defined in Regulation D of the Federal Reserve Board, as amended), assessment rates imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or similar requirements or costs imposed by any domestic or foreign governmental authority or resulting from compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other governmental authority and related in any manner to LIBOR. In determining which of the foregoing are attributable to any LIBOR option available to Borrower hereunder, any reasonable allocation made by Lender among its operations shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower

(c) Payment of Interest. Interest accrued on this Note shall be payable on the first day of each month, commencing May 1, 2014.

(d) Default Interest. From and after the maturity date of this Note, or such earlier date as all principal owing hereunder becomes due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, or at Agent’s or Required Lenders’ option upon the occurrence, and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall bear interest at an increased rate per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed) equal to four percent (4%) above the rate of interest from time to time applicable to this Note.

 

3. BORROWING AND REPAYMENT:

(a) Borrowing and Repayment. Borrower may from time to time during the term of this Note borrow, partially or wholly repay its outstanding borrowings, and reborrow, subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Note and of the Credit Agreement; provided however, that the total outstanding borrowings under this Note shall not at any time exceed the principal amount stated above. The unpaid principal balance of this obligation at any time shall be the total amounts advanced hereunder by the holder hereof less the amount of principal payments made hereon by or for Borrower, which balance may be endorsed hereon from time to time by the holder. The outstanding principal balance of this Note shall be due and payable in full on April 1, 2015.

(b) Advances. Advances hereunder, to the total amount of the principal sum stated above, may be made by the Line of Credit Lenders at the request of Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1(c) of the Credit Agreement.

(c) Application of Payments. Each payment made on this Note shall be credited first, to any interest then due and second, to the outstanding principal balance hereof.

 

-2-


4. EVENTS OF DEFAULT:

Any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Note.

 

5. MISCELLANEOUS:

(a) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the holder of this Note, at the holder’s option, may declare all sums of principal and interest outstanding hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, notice of nonperformance, notice of protest, protest or notice of dishonor, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower, and the obligation, if any, of the holder to extend any further credit hereunder shall immediately cease and terminate. Borrower shall pay to the holder immediately upon demand the full amount of all payments, advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (to include outside counsel fees), expended or incurred by the holder in connection with the enforcement of the holder’s rights and/or the collection of any amounts which become due to the holder under this Note, and the prosecution or defense of any action in any way related to this Note, including without limitation, any action for declaratory relief, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, in an arbitration proceeding or otherwise, and including any of the foregoing incurred in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding (including without limitation, any adversary proceeding, contested matter or motion brought by the holder or any other person) relating to Borrower or any other person or entity.

(b) Obligations Joint and Several. Should more than one person or entity sign this Note as a Borrower, the obligations of each such Borrower shall be joint and several.

(c) Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

(d) Amendment and Restatement. This Note amends and restates in its entirety the Revolving Line of Credit Note, dated as of November 1, 2011, issued by Borrower to Lender (as amended or otherwise modified to the date hereof, the “Prior Note”). Each of the Borrower and Lender acknowledges and agrees that this Note does not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing or termination of the obligations under the Prior Note and that all such obligations are in all respects continued and outstanding as obligations under this Note.
