A certificate of the applicable Lender(s) setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to Borrower or the applicable Loan Party Obligor shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(d) Each Lender that is a “United States person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes shall, on or before the date on which the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, provide to Borrower a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is not subject to backup withholding tax.

(e) If a payment to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to United States withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to Borrower, at the times prescribed by law or as reasonably requested by Borrower, such documentation as is required in order for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with its obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

 

(f) If a Lender determines in its sole discretion, exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund from a Governmental Authority relating to Taxes in respect of which the Borrower paid Additional Amounts or made a payment pursuant to Sections 2.5(b) or 2.5(c) then, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Lender shall promptly pay such refund (limited to the amount paid by the Borrower under Section 2.5 with respect to the Taxes refunded) to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expense (including Taxes) of such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund or making such payment; provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender if such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.5(f), in no event shall a Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.5(f), the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender 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 Amount with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Nothing in this Section 2.5(f) shall require any Lender to disclose any information it deems confidential (including, without limitation, its tax returns) to any Person, including Borrower.

Each Employee Benefit Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Applicable Laws. Each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter or opinion letter from the IRS to the effect that the form of such Employee Benefit Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust related thereto has been determined by the IRS to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS. To the knowledge of any Loan Party, nothing has occurred that would prevent or cause the loss of such tax-qualified status. There are no pending or, to the best knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened claims, actions or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan that could reasonably be expected to result in liabilities individually or in the aggregate in excess of $50,000 of any Loan Party. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in liabilities individually or in the aggregate of any Loan Party in excess of $50,000. No ERISA Event has occurred, and no Loan Party is aware of any fact, event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or result in an ERISA Event with respect to any Pension Plan, in each case that could reasonably be expected to result in liabilities individually or in the aggregate in excess of $50,000. Each Loan Party and each ERISA Affiliate has met all applicable requirements under the Pension Funding Rules in respect of each Pension Plan, and no waiver of the minimum funding standards under the Pension Funding Rules has been applied for or obtained, in each case except as could not reasonably be expected to result in liabilities individually or in the aggregate to the Loan Parties in excess of $50,000. As of the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan, the funding target attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of the Code) is sixty (60%) or higher and no Loan Party knows of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause the funding target attainment percentage for any such plan to drop below sixty (60%) as of the most recent valuation date. No Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability to the PBGC other than for the payment of premiums, and there are no premium payments which have become due that are unpaid, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in liabilities individually or in the aggregate to the Loan Parties in excess of $50,000. No Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliate has engaged in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA except as could not reasonably be expected to result in liabilities individually or in the aggregate to the Loan Parties in excess of $50,000. No Pension Plan has been terminated by the plan administrator thereof or by the PBGC, and no event or circumstance has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to cause the PBGC to institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate any Pension Plan, except as could not reasonably be expected to result in liabilities individually or in the aggregate to the Loan Parties in excess of $50,000.

All such Health Care Permits are in full force and effect and there is and has been no default under, violation of, or other noncompliance with the terms and conditions of any such Health Care Permit, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No Governmental Authority has taken, or to the knowledge of Aytu or any of its Subsidiaries intends to take, action to suspend, revoke, terminate, place on probation, materially restrict or not renew any material Health Care Permit of Aytu or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(w) Title to Collateral; Third Party Locations; Permitted Liens. Each Loan Party Obligor has, and at all times will continue to have, good and marketable title to all of the Collateral. The Collateral now is, and at all times will remain, free and clear of any and all Liens, except for Permitted Liens. The Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) now has, and will at all times continue to have, a first-priority (subject only to Liens of the type set forth in clause (i) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”) perfected and enforceable security interest and Lien in all of the Term Loan Priority Collateral, and a second-priority (or, after the Payment in Full (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) of the ABL Priority Debt (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement, a first-priority) (subject only to Liens of the type set forth in clause (i) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”) perfected and enforceable security interest and Lien in all of the ABL Priority Collateral, and each Loan Party Obligor will at all times defend the Collateral Agent and the Collateral against all claims of others. Except as otherwise disclosed in writing to the Secured Parties by the Borrower, none of the Collateral which is Equipment is, or will at any time, be affixed to any real property in such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture. Except for leases or subleases as to which the applicable Loan Party has delivered to the Secured Parties a landlord’s waiver in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders (unless waived in writing by the Required Lenders in their sole discretion), no Loan Party Obligor is or will be a lessee or sublessee under any real property lease or sublease. Except for warehouses as to which the applicable Loan Party has delivered to the Secured Parties a warehouseman’s waiver in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders (unless waived in writing by the Required Lenders in their sole discretion), no Loan Party Obligor is or will at any time be a bailor of any goods at any warehouse or otherwise. Prior to causing or permitting any Collateral valued in excess of $50,000 (other than mobile equipment such as laptop computers in the possession of the applicable Loan Party’s employees or agents) to at any time be located upon premises in which any third party (including any landlord, warehouseman, or otherwise) has an interest, the Borrower shall notify the Secured Parties and the applicable Loan Party Obligor shall cause each such third party to execute and deliver to the Secured Parties, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders, such waivers, collateral access agreements, and subordinations as the any Secured Party shall specify, so as to, among other things, ensure that the Secured Parties’ rights and interests in the Collateral are, and will at all times continue to be, superior to the rights and interests of any such third party or Person and that the Secured Parties have access to such Collateral. Each applicable Loan Party Obligor will keep at all times in full force and effect, and will comply at all times with all the terms of, any lease of real property where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing or anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, (x) for each location leased or otherwise occupied by Aytu and its Subsidiaries (other than Borrower Loan Parties) as reflected in the Perfection Certificate delivered on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, Aytu and its Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver, within sixty (60) days (or such later date as Collateral Agent may agree in its sole discretion) after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date, landlord and warehousemen waivers, as applicable, for each such location, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders and (y) the Borrower shall have ten (10) days after the Sixth Amendment Effective Date to deliver, or cause to be delivered, a certificate representing 100% of its Stock reflecting Aytu as the owner of such Stock.

(x) Health Care Proceedings, Audits and Permits. Other than as set forth on Schedule 3.1(x), there are no pending (or, to the knowledge of Aytu or the Borrower, threatened in writing) audits, actions, hearings or proceedings (collectively, “Proceedings”) against or affecting Aytu or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any actual or alleged non-compliance with any Health Care Law. There exist no restrictions, deficiencies, required plans of correction or other such remedial measures with respect to any material Health Care Permit of Aytu or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

(y) ABL Debt and ABL Documents. The Borrower has furnished the Secured Parties with a true, correct and complete copy of each of the ABL Documents (in each case, including all certificates, schedules, exhibits, annexes, amendments, restatements, supplements, modifications, waivers, consents, extensions, forbearances, assignments and all other reports, notices, agreements, instruments and documents delivered pursuant thereto or in connection therewith). No statement, representation, warranty or certification made in any of the ABL Documents by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or, to the Loan Parties’ knowledge, any other Person, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading in any material respect as of the time that such statement, representation, warranty or certification is made (or deemed made). Each of the representations, warranties and certifications of the Loan Parties set forth in each of the ABL Documents are true, correct and complete in all material respects (without giving effect to any double materiality). No portion of the ABL Debt is, or at any time shall be, (i) secured by any assets of any of the Loan Parties or any other Person or any Stock issued by any of the Loan Parties or any other Person (except to the extent expressly permitted by the Intercreditor Agreement) or (ii) guaranteed by any Person (except to the extent expressly permitted by the Intercreditor Agreement). The provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement are enforceable against each of the “ABL Lender Parties” (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) and each other holder of the ABL Debt, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(vi) No Loan Party owns, or has any present intention of acquiring, any “margin security” or any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (herein called “margin security” and “margin stock”).

(vii) Other than in cases where the Collateral Agent will retain a perfected, first-priority Lien on all such equity interests or Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Security Agreement, no Loan Party Obligor shall vote to enable, or take any other action to cause or to permit, any Issuer to issue any equity interests or other Stock of any nature, or to issue any other securities or interests convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any equity interests or other Stock of any nature of any Issuer.

 

(viii) Aytu shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, take, or fail to take, any action that would in any manner impair the value or the enforceability of the Collateral Agent’s Lien on any of the Investment Property, or any of the Collateral Agent’s or other Secured Party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document with respect to any of the Investment Property.

Such notice shall constitute such Loan Party Obligor’s authorization to amend the Perfection Certificate delivered on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date to add such Commercial Tort Claim and shall automatically be deemed to amend the Perfection Certificate delivered on the Sixth Amendment Effective Date to include such Commercial Tort Claim.

Except for matters of a general economic or political nature which do not affect any Loan Party or any Other Obligor uniquely, there is no fact presently known to any Loan Party Obligor which has not been disclosed to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, which has had or could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Any projections and other forward-looking information and pro forma financial information contained in such materials were prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that were believed by such Loan Party to be reasonable at the time prepared and at the time furnished in light of conditions and facts then known (it being recognized that such projections and other forward-looking information and pro forma financial information are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections or information may differ from the projected results, and such differences may be material).

(ii) Access to Collateral, Books and Records. At reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice, each Secured Party and its representatives and agents shall have the right to inspect the Collateral and to examine and copy each Loan Party’s books and records. Each Loan Party Obligor agrees to give the Collateral Agent access to any or all of such Loan Party Obligor’s, and each of its Subsidiaries’, premises to enable each Secured Party to conduct such inspections and examinations.

(jj) Interrelated Business. Loan Parties make up a related organization of various entities constituting a single economic and business enterprise so that Loan Parties share an identity of interests such that any benefit received by any one of them benefits the others.

Each Loan Party shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and its and each of their respective officers, directors, employees. Attorneys, representatives and agents to not, provide any Secured Party or any of its Affiliates with any material nonpublic information regarding Aytu or any of its Subsidiaries from and after the filing of the Announcing Form 8-K with the SEC without the express prior written consent of such Secured Party. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.14, no Secured Party (nor any of such Secured Party’s Affiliates, agents or representatives) shall have any duty of trust or confidence with respect to, or any obligation not to trade in any securities while aware of, any material nonpublic information regarding the Aytu (A) provided by, or on behalf of, Aytu, any of its Subsidiaries, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors (or equivalent Persons), employees, attorneys, accountants, consultants, representatives or agents, in violation of any of the representations, covenants, provisions or agreements set forth in this Section 5.1(xiii) or (B) otherwise possessed (or continued to be possessed) by any Secured Party (or any Affiliate, agent or representative thereof) as a result of any breach or violation of any representation, covenant, provision or agreement set forth in this Section 5.1(xiii). Subject to the foregoing, no Loan Party shall (and no Loan Party shall permit any of its Subsidiaries to) issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by any Loan Document or any ABL Document or disclosing the name of any Secured Party or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the Borrower shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Secured Party, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (A) in substantial conformity with the Announcing Form 8-K and contemporaneously therewith and (B) as is required by Applicable Law and regulations (provided that each Secured Party shall be consulted by Aytu in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release and shall be provided with a copy thereof). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that any Loan Party believes that a notice or communication to any Secured Party or any of its Affiliates contains material, nonpublic information relating to any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of their respective property or Stock, Aytu shall so indicate to the Secured Parties contemporaneously with delivery of such notice or communication, and such indication shall provide the Secured Parties the means to refuse to receive such notice or communication; and in the absence of any such indication, the Secured Parties, the other holders of the Securities and their respective Affiliates and representatives shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice or communication do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of their respective property or Stock. Upon receipt or delivery by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any notice in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, unless Aytu has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates or their respective property or Stock, the Loan Parties shall within one Business Day after any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information. In the event of a breach of any of the foregoing covenants by any Loan Party, any of the Subsidiaries or its Affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors (or equivalent Persons), employees, attorneys, accountants, consultants, representatives or agents, in addition to any other remedies provided in the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity, the Secured Parties shall have the right to make a public disclosure in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of the applicable material nonpublic information regarding the Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries, their Affiliates and/or their respective property or Stock without the prior approval by any Loan Party, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors (or equivalent Persons), employees, stockholders, attorneys, accountants, consultants, representatives or agents, and no Secured Party (nor any of its Affiliates, agents or representatives) shall have any liability to any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, stockholders, attorneys, accountants, consultants, representatives or agents for any such disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Borrower reasonably and in good faith determines that it is necessary to disclose material non-public information to a Secured Party for purposes relating to any of the Loan Documents (a “Necessary Disclosure”), the Borrower shall inform counsel to such Secured Party (which shall be Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP (Attn: Mark D. Wood) or such other counsel as shall have been designated in writing by such Secured Party) of such determination without disclosing the applicable material non-public information, and the Borrower and such counsel on behalf of the applicable Secured Party shall endeavor to agree upon a process for making such Necessary Disclosure to the applicable Secured Party or its representatives that is mutually acceptable to such Secured Party and the Borrower (an “Agreed Disclosure Process”). Thereafter, Aytu shall be permitted to make such Necessary Disclosure (only) in accordance with the Agreed Disclosure Process.

(xvi) Insurance.

 

(A) Aytu will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, at all times carry property, liability and other insurance, with insurers reasonably acceptable to the Secured Parties, in such form and amounts, and with such deductibles and other provisions, as the Secured Parties shall reasonably require, but in any event, in such amounts and against such risks as is usually carried by companies engaged in similar business and owning similar properties in the same general areas in which such Loan Party operates, and Aytu will (and Aytu will cause each of its Subsidiaries to) provide the Secured Parties with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Parties that such insurance is, at all times, in full force and effect. Each property insurance policy shall name the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) as lender loss payee and mortgagee, if applicable, and shall contain a lender’s loss payable endorsement, and a mortgage endorsement, if applicable, and each liability insurance policy shall name the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) as an additional insured, and each business interruption insurance policy shall be collaterally assigned to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders. All policies of insurance shall provide that they may not be cancelled or changed without at least thirty (30) days’ (or, with respect to nonpayment of premiums, ten (10) days’) prior written notice to the Secured Parties, and shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders. Aytu shall advise the Secured Parties promptly of any policy cancellation, non-renewal, reduction, or material amendment with respect to any insurance policies maintained by any Loan Party or any receipt by any Loan Party of any notice from any insurance carrier regarding any intended or threatened cancellation, non-renewal, reduction or material amendment of any of such policies, and the Borrower shall promptly deliver to the Secured Parties copies of all notices and related documentation received by any Loan Party in connection with the same.

(C) IF ANY LOAN PARTY AT ANY TIME OR TIMES HEREAFTER SHALL FAIL TO OBTAIN OR MAINTAIN ANY OF THE POLICIES OF INSURANCE REQUIRED ABOVE (AND PROVIDE EVIDENCE THEREOF TO THE SECURED PARTIES) OR TO PAY ANY PREMIUM RELATING THERETO, THEN ANY SECURED PARTY, WITHOUT WAIVING OR RELEASING ANY OBLIGATION OR DEFAULT BY ANY LOAN PARTY HEREUNDER, MAY (BUT SHALL BE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO) OBTAIN AND MAINTAIN SUCH POLICIES OF INSURANCE AND PAY SUCH PREMIUMS AND TAKE SUCH OTHER ACTIONS WITH RESPECT THERETO AS SUCH SECURED PARTY DEEMS ADVISABLE UPON NOTICE TO AYTU. SUCH INSURANCE, IF OBTAINED BY A SECURED PARTY, MAY, BUT NEED NOT, PROTECT ANY LOAN PARTY’S INTERESTS OR PAY ANY CLAIM MADE BY OR AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL. SUCH INSURANCE MAY BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE COST OF INSURANCE ANY LOAN PARTY MAY BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON ITS OWN AND MAY BE CANCELLED ONLY UPON THE APPLICABLE LOAN PARTY PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT IT HAS OBTAINED THE INSURANCE AS REQUIRED ABOVE. ALL SUMS DISBURSED BY ANY SECURED PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTIONS, INCLUDING COURT COSTS, EXPENSES, OTHER CHARGES RELATING THERETO AND REASONABLE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL ATTORNEY COSTS, SHALL CONSTITUTE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, SHALL BE PAYABLE ON DEMAND BY ANY SECURED PARTY TO ANY LOAN PARTY AND, UNTIL PAID, SHALL BEAR INTEREST AT THE HIGHEST RATE THEN APPLICABLE TO LOANS AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

(xvii) Invoices. At any Secured Party’s request during an Event of Default, the Borrower will (and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to) cause all invoices and statements that it sends to Account Debtors or other third parties to be marked and authenticated, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Parties, to reflect the Collateral Agent’s (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) security interest and Lien therein and payment instructions (including, but not limited to, in a manner to meet the requirements of Section 9-404(a)(2) of the UCC).

(or similar variation) without delivery of such prior written notice so long as it provides notice and evidence of the same via email to the Secured Parties on the date of such change.

Section 6.4 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such State. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 6.5 Successors and Assigns.

 

(a) This Agreement shall bind and inure to the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties, except that (a) none the Borrower, the other Loan Party Obligors and the Other Obligors may assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Lenders and any such prohibited assignment or transfer is absolutely void ab initio; and (b) absent a Default or an Event of Default the Lenders may not assign or otherwise transfer all or part of their rights under the Loan Documents to any Person other than an investment fund managed by Deerfield Management, L.P. or any Affiliate or related fund of any of the Secured Parties, without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Before any Lender assigns all or any part of its rights under this Agreement or the Notes to a party other than an investment fund managed by Deerfield Management, L.P. (or any Affiliate or related fund of any of the Secured Parties), or there are more than five (5) Lenders, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to appoint an administrative agent providing such agent and the Parties with rights and duties customary among syndicated credit facilities. Upon a Lender’s assignment of a Note in accordance with the foregoing sentence, such Lender shall provide notice of a permitted transfer to Borrower for recordation in the Register pursuant to Section 1.4. Upon receipt of a notice of a transfer of an interest in a Note, Borrower shall record the identity of the transferee and other relevant information in the Register and the transferee shall (to the extent of the interests transferred to such transferee) have all the rights and obligations of, and shall be deemed, a Lender hereunder.

 

A-60

 

 

(b) The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the Securities may be pledged by a holder thereof in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan, financing or Indebtedness secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities under the Loan Documents, and no such holder effecting any such pledge of Securities shall be required to provide any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery (including of any legal opinion) to any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document. The Loan Parties hereby agree to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by a holder of Securities.

 

Section 6.6 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the matters covered thereby and supersede any and all other written and oral communications, negotiations, commitments and writings with respect thereto (including, without limitation, any agreement on the reimbursement of costs, etc. referenced in Section 2.9). The provisions of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the authorized officer of each of Borrower and the Required Lenders.

 

Section 6.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

 

Section 6.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and by each Party on separate counterparts, each of which and any photocopies and facsimile copies thereof shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

Section 6.9 Survival.

 

(a) This Agreement and all agreements, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents, and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant thereto or in connection therewith shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loan hereunder, and shall continue in force until payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification or reimbursement obligations or other obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of this Agreement), and the Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of making the Loan, any Event of Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that the Lenders may have had notice or knowledge of any such Event of Default or may have had notice or knowledge that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Disbursement was made.

 

(b) The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 1.4 and 2.5 and the obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders under this Article 6 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loan, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 6.10 No Waiver. Neither the failure of, nor any delay on the part of, any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any waiver of any right, power, privilege or default hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, constitute a waiver of any other right, power, privilege or default or constitute a waiver of any default of the same or of any other term or provision. No course of dealing and no delay in exercising, or omission to exercise, any right, power or remedy accruing to the Lenders upon any default under this Agreement, or any other agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the action of the Lenders in respect of any such default, or any acquiescence by it therein, affect or impair any right, power or remedy of the Lenders in respect of any other default. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by law.

 

Section 6.11 Indemnity.

 

(a) The Borrower, each Loan Party and Other Obligor shall, at all times, indemnify and hold each Secured Party harmless (the “Indemnity”) and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) in connection with any losses, claims (including the reasonable documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees incurred in defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties, or other expenses arising out of, or relating to, the Loan Documents, the extension of credit hereunder or the Loan or the use of the Loan, which an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject, but excluding all Taxes (each, a “Loss”). The Indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction issues a final judgment that such Loss resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Person. The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to any other agreement of Borrower under any Loan Document to pay any amount to the Secured Parties, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this subsection shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section hereof or under any other agreement.

 

(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Loss in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying person under this Section 6.11, deliver to Borrower a written notice of the commencement thereof, and Borrower shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent Borrower so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof.

 

(c) An Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the documented reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses to be paid by the indemnifying person, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Person, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and Borrower would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Borrower shall pay for only one separate such legal counsel for all of the Indemnified Persons. The failure of an Indemnified Person to deliver written notice to the Borrower within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Borrower of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11, except to the extent that Borrower is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6.11 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.

 

(d) In no circumstance will any of the Indemnified Persons be liable for lost profits or other special, punitive, or consequential damages. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, this Section 6.11 shall remain operative even after the payment in full of the Obligations.

 

A-62

 

 

Section 6.12 No Usury. The Loan Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be deemed excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Loan, or if such deemed excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan, such deemed excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loan until payment in full so that the deemed rate of interest on account of the Loan is uniform throughout the term thereof. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement and the Notes.

 

Section 6.13 Further Assurances. From time to time, the Borrower and the other Loan Party Obligors shall perform (and shall cause their Subsidiaries to perform) any and all acts and execute and deliver to the Secured Parties such additional agreements, instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by any Secured Party to carry out the purposes of any Loan Document or to preserve and protect the Secured Parties’ rights and remedies as contemplated herein and therein.

 

Section 6.14 Confidentiality. Subject to Section 5.1(xiii), Lenders agree that they will hold any confidential information they may receive from Borrower in connection with the Loan Documents in confidence, unless such confidential information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 6.14 by Lenders), (b) is or has been independently developed or conceived by Lenders without use of Borrower’s confidential information, or (c) is or has been made known or disclosed to Lender by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to Borrower; provided, however, that Lenders may disclose confidential information (i) to their attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (ii) to any prospective purchaser of any Loan from Lenders, if a transfer to such prospective purchaser is permitted and such prospective purchaser agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 6.14; (iii) to any existing or prospective Affiliate, partner, member, shareholder or wholly owned subsidiary of a Lender in the Ordinary Course of Business, provided that Lenders inform such Person that such information is confidential and direct such Person to maintain the confidentiality of such information; (iv) as may otherwise be required by law, regulation or legal process; (v) to any Person in connection with any legal proceeding to which it is a party; or (vi) as provided in Section 5.1(xiii).

 

A-63

 

 

Section 6.15 Intercreditor Agreement.

 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document: (i) the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents and the exercise of any right related to any collateral hereunder or thereunder shall be subject, in each case, to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) in the event of any conflict between the express terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, on the one hand, and of the Intercreditor Agreement, on the other hand, the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control, (iii) any collateral (including the Collateral) under the Loan Documents held by (or in the possession or control of) the ABL Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) (or its agents or bailees) shall be held as agent and bailee for security, Lien perfection and control purposes in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Loan Documents, and (iv) each Lender hereunder authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent to execute the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender, and such Lender agrees to be bound by the terms thereof.

  

(b) Each Lender hereunder authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent, as the Collateral Agent and on behalf of such Lender, to enter into one or more intercreditor agreements (including the Intercreditor Agreement) from time to time pursuant to, or as contemplated by, the terms of this Agreement and agrees that it will be bound by the terms and provisions thereof and will take no actions contrary to the terms and provisions thereof.

 

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of (i) the Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement, (ii) the Lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including priority thereof), (iii) the release of Collateral from the Lien granted and created by the Loan Documents and (iv) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents are, in each case, subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.
