Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until full payment of the Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any obligor is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Lender with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (d) the insolvency of any obligor; (e) any election by Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of Lender against any obligor for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except full payment of all Obligations.
(b) Each Borrower expressly waives all rights that it may have now or in the future under any statute, at common law, in equity or otherwise, to compel Lender to marshal assets or to proceed against any obligor, other Person or security for the payment or performance of any Obligations before, or as a condition to, proceeding against such Borrower. Each Borrower waives all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor other than full payment of all Obligations, including the benefit of 12 Okla. Stat. § 686 and 15 Okla. Stat. §§ 334,338, and 340, and any amendments thereof. It is agreed among each Borrower and Lender that the provisions of this Section 4.9 are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for such provisions, Lender would decline to make the Loans. Each Borrower acknowledges that its guaranty pursuant to this Section is necessary to the conduct and promotion of its business, and can be expected to benefit such business.
(c) Lender may, in its discretion, pursue such rights and remedies as it deems appropriate, including realization upon Collateral by judicial foreclosure or non judicial sale or enforcement, without affecting any rights and remedies under this Section 4.9. If, in taking any action in connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies, Lender shall forfeit any other rights or remedies, including the right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or other Person, whether because of any applicable Laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or otherwise, each Borrower consents to such action and waives any claim based upon it, even if the action may result in loss of any rights of subrogation that any Borrower might otherwise have had. Any election of remedies that results in denial or impairment of the right of Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. Lender may bid all or a portion of the Obligations at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale, and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Lender but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Lender or any other Person is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the Collateral, and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 4.9, notwithstanding that any present or future Law or court decision may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Lender might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.
10 |
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Borrower’s liability under this Section 4.9 shall be limited to the greater of (i) all amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable, as described below, and (ii) such Borrower’s Allocable Amount.
(e) If any Borrower makes a payment under this Section 4.9 of any Obligations (other than amounts for which such Borrower is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payments in the same proportion that such Borrower’s Allocable Amount bore to the total Allocable Amounts of all Borrowers, then such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. The “Allocable Amount” for any Borrower shall be the maximum amount that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 4.9 without rendering such payment voidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state fraudulent transfer or conveyance act, or similar statute or common law.
(f) Nothing contained in this Section 4.9 shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower (including Loans advanced to any other Borrower and then re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Borrower), and all accrued interest, fees, expenses and other related Obligations with respect thereto, for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable for all purposes hereunder. Lender shall have the right, at any time in its good faith credit judgment, to condition Loans upon a separate calculation of the Borrowing Base and to restrict the disbursement and use of such Loans to such Borrower.
(g) Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any rights at Law or in equity to payment, subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off, that it may have at any time against any other obligor, howsoever arising, to the full payment of all Obligations.
Section 5. Conversion.
5.1 Option to Convert. The Notes are convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Crumbs’ common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5.
11 |
5.2 Conversion Right. At any time or times on or after the date of the Notes, Lender shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (“Conversion Shares”) in accordance with Section 5 at a rate of $.66 per share (the “Conversion Rate”). Crumbs shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, Crumbs shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. Crumbs shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any amount of the Notes.
5.3 Mechanics of Conversion. To convert any amount of the Notes into shares of Common Stock on any date, Lender shall deliver (whether via facsimile or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Conversion Notice”) to Crumbs. Within one (1) trading days after its receipt of the Conversion Notice, Crumbs shall instruct its transfer agent to deliver to Lender certificates representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by reason of such conversion in the name or names and such denomination or denominations as the Lender may specify.
5.4 Adjustment of Conversion Price. If Crumbs, at any time after the issuance of the Notes, subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If Crumbs, at any time after the issuance of the Notes, combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.
5.5 Principal Market Regulation.
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, at no time may all or a portion of the Notes be converted if the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock or other voting stock owned by Lender at such time, the number of shares of Common Stock which would result in Lender beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder) more than 19.99% of all of the Common Stock outstanding at such time (the “Exchange Cap”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that Crumbs obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the NASDAQ Capital Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess of such amount. Until such approval is obtained, Lender shall not be issued and Crumbs shall not issue upon conversion of the Notes, shares of Common Stock which would result in Lender beneficially owning shares of Common Stock in an amount in excess of the Exchange Cap. Additionally, pursuant to the NASDAQ Capital Market rules, Lender acknowledges that the Conversion Shares acquired prior to Stockholder Approval (as defined below) may not be voted for the Resolutions at the Stockholder Meeting (each as defined below). For the avoidance of doubt, the requirement to obtain Shareholder Approval as set forth in this Section 5.5 to issue a number of shares of Common Stock which would result in Lender beneficially owning shares of Common Stock in an amount in excess of the Exchange Cap shall apply irrespective of whether or not the Principal Market is the NASDAQ Capital Market.
12 |
(b) Crumbs shall provide each stockholder entitled to vote at the next annual meeting of stockholders of Crumbs (the “Stockholder Meeting”), to be held on or about June 10, 2014, a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for adoption of resolutions (the “Resolutions”) approving the issuance of all of the Conversion Shares in accordance with applicable law, the provisions of the Crumbs’ bylaws and the rules and regulations of the Principal Market (the “Stockholder Approval”). Crumbs shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit its stockholders’ adoption of the Resolutions and to cause the Board of Directors of Crumbs to recommend to the stockholders that they adopt the Resolutions. The Proxy Statement shall contain such disclosures relating to the Resolutions and the issuance of the Conversion Shares required by the SEC’s Schedule 14A and reasonably acceptable to the Lender after review by McAfee & Taft A Professional Corporation at the expense of Crumbs. If Stockholder Approval is required pursuant to this Section 5.5(b) and, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts, the Stockholder Approval is not obtained at a Stockholder Meeting, then Crumbs shall cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to be held each calendar quarter thereafter until Stockholder Approval is obtained.
(c) Voting Agreement. If Stockholder Approval is required pursuant to Section 5.5(b), then (i) Crumbs will execute, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause each of Stephen Z. Fass, Julian R. Geiger, John D. Ireland, Edwin H. Lewis, EHL Holdings LLC, Mark D. Klein, Frederick G. Kraegel, Leonard O. Potter, Kirk Alan Rose, Jeffrey D. Roseman, Shanna Goldstone, Robin Sepe, Edwin Leong, Barry Mirowsky and Eric Wesolowski (collectively, the “Principal Stockholders”) to execute, a voting agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, each Principal Stockholder will agree, from and after the date of this Agreement and until the Stockholder Approval is obtained, to vote or cause to be voted (including by written consent, if applicable) at the Stockholder Meeting all of the voting securities of Crumbs that are beneficially owned by such Principal Stockholder and entitled to vote thereon (A) in favor of the adoption of the Resolutions and (B) against any resolution that, if adopted, would be inconsistent with the Resolutions, and (ii) Crumbs (A) shall use its reasonable best efforts to effectuate the transactions contemplated by the Voting Agreement, (B) shall not amend, waive or terminate any provision of the Voting Agreement, (C) and shall enforce the provisions of the Voting Agreement in accordance with its terms, including, without limitation, by promptly using its best efforts to seek specific performance of the terms of the Voting Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof upon the breach by any of the Principal Stockholders of any provisions thereof. The Principal Stockholders hold approximately 27.87% of the issued and outstanding share of Common Stock of the Company.
13 |
(d) Limitations on Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, prior to March 31, 2016 the Notes shall not be convertible by the Lender, and Crumbs shall not effect any conversion of the Notes or otherwise issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto, to the extent (but only to the extent) that after giving effect to such conversion, the Lender (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 34.99% (the “Maximum Percentage Cap”) of the Common Stock; provided, that, the Maximum Percentage Cap shall not apply following the receipt by Lender of a Voluntary Prepayment Notice or a Change in Control Notice from Borrowers or following the acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations following an Event of Default.
Section 6. Management Rights of Lender.
6.1 Board of Directors. Following the Tranche I Closing Date and for so long as any of the Notes remain outstanding (the “Representation Period”), Lender shall have the right, at any time, to: (a) appoint a representative (the “Observer”) to attend any and all meetings of the Board of Directors of Crumbs, and (b) subject to Lender’s satisfaction of the Ownership Threshold (as defined below), designate one (1) director candidate for appointment to the Board of Directors of Crumbs. Following the Tranche II Closing Date and throughout the Representation Period, Lender shall have the right, at any time, to designate a second director candidate for appointment to the Board of Directors of Crumbs; provided, that, the foregoing designation rights shall be subject to the satisfaction of any applicable corporate governance standards and other legal requirements of the Principal Market. The audit, nomination and compensation committees of Crumbs may each exclude the Observer from their respective proceedings at the discretion of the respective committee. The director candidates designated by Lender are referred to herein individually as a “Lender Candidate.” Upon Lender’s designation of a Lender Candidate pursuant to this Section 6.1, Crumb’s Board of Directors shall take all reasonably necessary action to appoint the Lender Candidate to the Board of Directors of Crumbs, provided that in doing so the current size of the Board of Directors shall either be maintained or reduced, to serve until the next annual meeting of Crumbs stockholders. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors shall nominate each Lender Candidate for election to the Crumb’s Board of Directors at each meeting of the Company’s stockholders held during the Representation Period at which directors are to be elected commencing with the first annual meeting of Crumb’s stockholder after which a Lender Candidate has been designated by Lender, and the Board shall recommend to the stockholders currently scheduled that such Lender Candidate be elected at such meeting. As used herein, Lender shall be deemed to satisfy the “Ownership Threshold” if Lender or its affiliates (x) is a holder of a Note and (y) beneficially owns (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) in excess of 5.0% of the Common Stock of the Company. Any such Lender Candidate that becomes a member of the Board of Directors of Crumbs, shall also serve as a member of the Board of Managers of Holdings.
6.2 Executive Officer
. On or prior to Tranche II Closing Date, Borrower shall hire an executive officer, on such terms as shall be mutually agreeable by Crumbs and Lender, to assist in Borrowers’ management relating to co-branding and franchising matters.

Borrower will from time to time and as often as requested by the Lender, promptly execute and deliver to the Lender one or more specific written assignments of any one or more Accounts or contract rights Lender may select or designate, assigning the same to Lender.

Lender (i) is acquiring the Notes, and (ii) upon conversion of the Notes will acquire the Conversion Shares (and with the Notes, collectively, the “Securities”) issuable upon conversion of the Notes, in each case, for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof in violation of applicable securities laws, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the 1933 Act; provided, however, by making the representations herein, Lender does not agree, or make any representation or warranty, to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Conversion Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act.

Lender and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Borrowers. Lender understands that its investment in the Notes and Conversion Shares involves a high degree of risk. Lender has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Notes and Conversion Shares.
9.4 Transfer or Resale. Lender understands that except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement (i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws and, accordingly, are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Borrowers in a transaction not involving a public offering and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) Lender shall have delivered to Crumbs (if requested by Crumbs) an opinion of counsel to Lender, in a form reasonably acceptable to Crumbs, to the effect that such Notes or Conversion Shares to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) Lender provides Crumbs with reasonable assurance that such Notes and Conversion Shares can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”); (ii) any sale of the Notes and Conversion Shares made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144, and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Notes and Conversion Shares under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person (as defined below) through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

Except as set forth on Schedule 10.5 or which have been obtained, the execution, delivery, and performance by each Borrower and Subsidiary of this Agreement, including the conversion of the Notes to Common Stock of Crumbs, do not and will not require any authorization, approval, or other action by, or notice to or filing with, any governmental authority, regulatory body, or any other Person, except for any disclosure filing obligations Crumbs has to the SEC.

10.9 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 10.9 or as disclosed in the SEC Documents, there are no suits, proceedings, claims, or disputes pending or, to the knowledge of any Borrower, threatened against or affecting any Borrower or Subsidiary or any of a Borrower’s or Subsidiary’s assets or properties that (a) relate to any of the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or (b) if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
10.10 Compliance with Laws. Each Borrower and Subsidiary is in compliance in all material respects with all Laws and regulations applicable to each Borrower and Subsidiary, and their business and properties.

20 |
10.13 Financial Statements. The unaudited financial statements of Crumbs dated as of September 30, 2013 filed with the SEC, together with the related notes, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition of Crumbs and its Subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the periods therein specified in conformity with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, subject to year-end adjustments; and, except as disclosed therein, there are no material off-balance sheet arrangements or any other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other Persons, that may have a material current or, to Crumbs’ knowledge, material future effect on its financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, capital resources or significant components of revenue or expenses.

COVENANTS
Pledgor covenants and agrees with Lender that, until the Obligations have been paid and satisfied in full:
4.1 Amendments of Charter Documents. Pledgor will not, without the prior written consent of Lender (which may be withheld by Lender in the exercise of its reasonable discretion), cause, permit or consent to any amendment or modification of any Charter Document which would have the effect of reducing the Membership Interests.
4.2 Restriction on Encumbrances. Pledgor will not create, incur, or permit to be placed, imposed, or continued upon the Collateral any security interest, encumbrance, or other Lien of any type or nature whatsoever, other than security interests in favor of Lender.
4.3 Transfer of Membership Interests. Pledgor will not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber the Membership Interests or any other property included in the Collateral unless in connection with such transfer the Obligations are fully satisfied by Pledgor.
4.4 Further Assurances. Pledgor will, at Pledgor’s sole expense and in such manner and form as Lender may reasonably require, execute, deliver, file, and record any financing statement, specific assignment or other paper and take any other action that may be necessary or commercially reasonable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to create, preserve, perfect, or validate the security interest created hereunder or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor hereby authorizes Lender to execute and file, in the name of Pledgor or otherwise, UCC financing statements which Lender in its sole discretion may deem necessary or appropriate to further perfect the security interest created hereunder.
4.5 Perfection Against Distributions. In the event Pledgor receives, by virtue of being or having been an owner of any of the Collateral, any notes or other instruments or certificates with respect to the Membership Interests, Pledgor will receive the same in trust for the benefit of Lender, will immediately notify Lender of such receipt, and will immediately take all such actions and execute all such documents as Lender deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to continue or create first and prior perfected Liens in favor of Lender covering such notes or other instruments or certificates.
4.6 Limitation on Distributions.

ARTICLE V
GENERAL AUTHORITY AND POWERS AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
5.1 Right to Receive Distributions. If a default of any Obligation shall have occurred and be continuing under this Agreement or the Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right to receive all payments and distributions made upon or with respect to the Collateral, and Pledgor agrees to take all such action as Lender may deem necessary or appropriate to give effect to such right.
4 |
Execution Version
5.2 General Authority. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, in the name of Pledgor, Lender or otherwise, for the sole use and benefit of Lender and the holders of the Obligations, but at Pledgor’s expense, to the extent permitted by law, to exercise, at any time and from time to time while a default of any Obligation has occurred and is continuing without timely cure under this Agreement or the Loan Agreement, all or any of the following powers with respect to all or any of the Collateral:
(a) to ask, demand, sue for, collect, receive and give acquittance and receipts for any and all monies due or to become due upon or by virtue thereof;
(b) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (a) preceding; and
(c) to settle, compromise, compound, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding with respect thereto.
5.3 Remedies Upon Default. If a default of any Obligation shall have occurred and be continuing without timely cure by Pledgor, Lender may exercise all the rights of a Lender under the UCC, including the right to sell the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale or at any broker's board for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as Lender may deem satisfactory. Lender, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred, may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose the security interest created hereunder and sell the Collateral, or any portion thereof, under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction.
5.4 Provisions Concerning Sale of Collateral. Lender or any other holder of the Obligations may be the purchaser of any or all of the Collateral sold at any public sale (or, if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, at any private sale) and thereafter hold the same absolutely, free from any right to claim of whatsoever kind. Lender is authorized, in connection with any such sale, (i) to restrict the prospective bidders on or purchasers of any of the Collateral to a limited number of sophisticated investors who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale of any of such Collateral and (ii) to impose other limitations or conditions in connection with any such sale as Lender deems necessary or advisable in order to comply with law. Pledgor covenants and agrees that Pledgor will execute and deliver such documents and take the other actions which Lender deems necessary or advisable in order that any such sale may be made in compliance with law. Upon any such sale, Lender shall have the right to deliver, assign, and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the Collateral so sold absolutely free from any claim or right of Pledgor of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of redemption of Pledgor. Pledgor, to the extent permitted by law, hereby specifically waive all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which Pledgor have or may have under any law now existing or hereafter enacted. Pledgor agrees that 10 days' written notice from Lender to Pledgor of Lender's intention to make any such public or private sale shall constitute "reasonable authenticated notification" within the meaning of Section 9-611(b) of the UCC. At any such sale, the Collateral may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as Lender may determine reasonably appropriate. Lender shall not be obligated to make any such sale pursuant to any such notice. Lender may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be so adjourned.

Execution Version
5.5 Waivers by Pledgor. If a default of any Obligation shall have occurred and be continuing beyond any applicable cure period, neither the Pledgor nor any Person claiming by, through or under Pledgor, to the extent Pledgor may lawfully so agree, shall claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any of the Collateral is situated for purposes of applicable law, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Agreement, or the absolute sale of the Collateral, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchaser thereto; and Pledgor in Pledgor’s own right and for all who may claim under them, hereby waives, to the full extent that they may lawfully do so, the benefit of all such laws and any and all right to have the Collateral marshaled upon any enforcement of the security interest herein granted, and agrees that Lender or any court having jurisdiction to enforce the security interest may sell the Collateral in parts or as an entirety.
5.6 Application of Proceeds. Lender shall apply the proceeds of any foreclosure sale or other realization upon the Collateral as follows (as modified, if necessary, by the requirements of applicable law):
(a) First, to the payment of all costs and expenses of any foreclosure and collection hereunder and all proceedings in connection therewith, including reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel;
(b) Then, to the reimbursement of Lender for all disbursements made by Lender for taxes, assessments or Liens superior to the security interest and which Lender shall deem expedient to pay;
(c) Then, to the reimbursement of Lender for any other disbursements made by, or expenses incurred by, Lender in accordance with the terms hereof;
(d) Then, to or among the amounts of fees, interest and principal then owing and unpaid in respect of the Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and other Loan Documents; and
(e) The remainder of the proceeds, if any, shall be paid to Pledgor.
5.7 Enforcement of Obligations. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect or impair the unconditional and absolute right of Lender to enforce the Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Notes or other Loan Documents, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and subject to any applicable Pledgor cure rights.

2. Registration.
(a) Demand Registration Rights.
(i) At any time following the closing of the purchase and sale of the Notes contemplated by the Loan Agreement, the Company shall receive a request (each such request shall be referred to herein as a “Demand Registration”) from the Lender that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of the number of Registrable Securities designated by Lender but of not less than 10% of the outstanding Registrable Securities, and specifying the intended method of disposition thereof (which may include a Shelf Registration provided that the Company is eligible to use Rule 415 for the purposes thereof), then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect, as expeditiously as possible, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities for which Lender has requested registration under this Section 2(a)(i), all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities to be registered. At any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating to such registration, Lender may revoke such request by providing reasonable written notice to the Company revoking such request.
(ii) Demand Registrations pursuant to this Section 2(a) are subject to the following limitations:
(A) The Lender shall be entitled to have a total of two (2) Demand Registrations effected on Form S-1 (including any successor form, “Form S-1”) or Form S-3 (including any successor Form, “Form S-3”) at any time when the Company is eligible to use such form. A Demand Registration effected on Form S-1 shall not reduce the number of available Demand Registrations pursuant to the foregoing sentence if a registration statement with respect thereto does not become effective under the Securities Act and remain effective for at least one hundred eighty (180) days; provided that such registration statement shall not be considered a Demand Registration if, after such registration statement becomes effective, such registration statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court.
(B) Upon notice to the Lender, the Company may postpone effecting a registration pursuant to this Section 2(a) on one occasion during any period of six consecutive months for a reasonable time specified in the notice but not exceeding thirty (30) days (which period may not be extended or renewed), if (i) an investment banking firm of recognized national standing shall advise the Company and Lender in writing that effecting the registration would materially and adversely affect an offering of securities of the Company the preparation of which had then been commenced or (ii) the Company is in possession of material non-public information the disclosure of which would be required by the registration during the period specified in such notice the Company reasonably believes would not be in the best interests of the Company.
(iii) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable. The Company shall notify the Lender by facsimile or e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours, after any Registration Statement is declared effective and shall simultaneously provide the Lender with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby.
3 |
(iv) For not more than twenty (20) consecutive days or for a total of not more than forty-five (45) days in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may suspend the use of any Prospectus included in any Registration Statement contemplated by this Section in the event that the Company determines in good faith that such suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company or (B) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related Prospectus so that such Registration Statement or Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the case of the Prospectus in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (an “Allowed Delay”); provided that the Company shall promptly (a) notify Lender in writing of the commencement of an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of Lender) disclose to Lender any material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Lender in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c) use its reasonable best efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.
(v) If at any time the SEC takes the position that the offering of some or all of the Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement is not eligible to be made on a delayed or continuous basis under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act or requires Lender to be named as an “underwriter”, the Company shall use its best efforts to persuade the SEC that the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement is a valid secondary offering and not an offering “by or on behalf of the issuer” as defined in Rule 415 and that Lender is not an “underwriter”. The Lender shall have the right to participate or have its counsel participate in any meetings or discussions with the SEC regarding the SEC’s position and to comment or have its counsel comment on any written submission made to the SEC with respect thereto. No such written submission shall be made to the SEC to which the Lender’s counsel reasonably objects. In the event that, despite the Company’s best efforts and compliance with the terms of this Section 2(a)(v), the SEC refuses to alter its position, the Company shall (i) remove from the Registration Statement such portion of the Registrable Securities (the “Cut Back Shares”) and/or (ii) agree to such restrictions and limitations on the registration and resale of the Registrable Securities as the SEC may require to assure the Company’s compliance with the requirements of Rule 415 (collectively, the “SEC Restrictions”); provided, however, that the Company shall not agree to name Lender as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement without the prior written consent of Lender.
4 |
(b) Right to Piggyback Registration.
(i) If at any time following the date of this Agreement that any Registrable Securities remain outstanding (A) there is not one or more effective Registration Statements covering all of the Registrable Securities and (B) the Company proposes for any reason to register any shares of Common Stock under the 1933 Act (other than pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or a similar or successor form)) with respect to an offering of Common Stock by the Company for its own account or for the account of any of its stockholders, it shall at each such time promptly give written notice to the Lender of its intention to do so (but in no event less than thirty (30) days before the anticipated filing date) and, to the extent permitted under the provisions of Rule 415 under the 1933 Act, include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written request from Lender for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Company’s notice (a Piggyback Registration”). Such notice shall offer the Lender the opportunity to register such number of shares of Registrable Securities as Lender may request and shall indicate the intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities.
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) if such registration involves an underwritten public offering, the Lender must sell its Registrable Securities to, if applicable, the underwriter(s) at the same price and subject to the same underwriting discounts and commissions that apply to the other securities sold in such offering (it being acknowledged that the Company shall be responsible for other expenses as set forth in Section 2(b)) and subject to the Lender entering into customary underwriting documentation for selling stockholders in an underwritten public offering, and (B) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(b)(i) and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to cause such registration statement to become effective under the 1933 Act, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Lender and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration.
(iii) If, in connection with any underwritten public offering for the account of the Company or for stockholders of the Company that have contractual rights to require the Company to register shares of Common Stock, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock which may be included in a Registration Statement because, in the judgment of such underwriter(s), marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate such offering, then the Company shall be obligated to include in the Registration Statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which each Lender has requested inclusion hereunder as such underwriter(s) shall permit; provided, however, that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which are not entitled to inclusion of such securities in the Registration Statement or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and provided further that, after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities having the right to include such securities in the Registration Statement.
5 |
3. Company Obligations. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
(a) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain continuously effective for a period that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement as amended from time to time, have been sold, and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 by the holders thereof (the “Effectiveness Period”) and advise the Lender in writing when the Effectiveness Period has expired;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and to comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby;
(c) provide copies to and permit counsel designated by Lender to review each Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto no fewer than seven (7) days prior to their filing with the SEC and not file any document to which such counsel reasonably objects;
(d) furnish to the Lender and its legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company (but not later than two (2) Business Days after the filing date, receipt date or sending date, as the case may be) one (1) copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as Lender may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by Lender that are covered by the related Registration Statement;
(e) use its reasonable best efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment;
6 |
(f) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Lender and its counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions requested by the Lender and do any and all other commercially reasonable acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(f), (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject but for this Section 3(f), or (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;
(g) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, interdealer quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
(h) immediately notify the Lender, at any time prior to the end of the Effectiveness Period, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and promptly prepare, file with the SEC and furnish to such holder a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;
(i) otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the 1933 Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof, with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act, promptly inform the Lender in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Lender is required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder; and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined below), an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve (12) months, beginning after the effective date of each Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act, including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder (for the purpose of this subsection 3(i), “Availability Date” means the 45th day following the end of the fiscal quarter that includes the effective date of such Registration Statement, except that, if quarter is the last quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end of such fiscal year);
7 |
(j) with a view to making available to the Lender the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Lender to sell Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until the earlier of (A) six months after the date all of the Registrable Securities may be sold without restriction by the holders thereof pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1934 Act; and (iii) furnish to Lender upon request, as long as Lender owns any Registrable Securities, (A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act, (B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail Lender of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration.
(k) The Company will pay all expenses associated with effecting the registration of the Registrable Securities, including filing and printing fees, the Company’s counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws, listing fees, and fees and expenses of one counsel to the Lender, but excluding discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Rcgistrable Securities being sold.
4. Due Diligence Review; Information. The Company shall make available, during normal business hours, for inspection and review by the Lender, advisors to and representatives of the Lender (who may or may not be affiliated with the Lender and who are reasonably acceptable to the Company), all financial and other records, all SEC Filings (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and other filings with the SEC, and all other corporate documents and properties of the Company as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of such review, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees, within a reasonable time period, to supply all such information reasonably requested by the Lender or any such representative, advisor or underwriter in connection with such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries reasonably made or submitted by any of them), prior to and from time to time after the filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the sole purpose of enabling the Lender and such representatives, advisors and underwriters and their respective accountants and attorneys to conduct initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the Company and the accuracy of such Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to the Lender, or to advisors to or representatives of the Lender, unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides the Lender, such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and any Lender wishing to obtain such information enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto.
8 |
5. Obligations of the Lender.
(a) Lender shall furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of any Registration Statement, the Company shall notify Lender of the information the Company requires from Lender if Lender elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. Lender shall provide such information to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement if Lender elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.
(b) Lender, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless Lender has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
(c) Lender agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of either (i) the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant to Section 2(a)(iv) or (ii) the happening of an event pursuant to Section 3(h) hereof, Lender will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until the Lender is advised by the Company that such dispositions may again be made.

6. Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless Lender and its officers, directors, members, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other Person, if any, who controls Lender within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a “Blue Sky Application”); (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in a Blue Sky Application a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration; or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such Registration Statement in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on an Lender’s behalf and will reimburse such Lender, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by Lender or any such controlling Person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus.
(b) Indemnification by the Lender. Lender agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by Lender to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the liability of Lender be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by Lender in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such Lender has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by Lender upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
10 |
(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation.
(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

SCHEDULE 1
Existing Indebtedness
1. Pursuant to Section 4.4 of Crumbs Holdings’ Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, dated May 5, 2011 (the “LLC Agreement”), Crumbs Holdings is obligated under certain circumstances to make pro rata quarterly Tax Distributions (as defined in the LLC Agreement) to its members in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Assumed Tax Liability (as defined in the LLC Agreement) for the applicable quarterly estimated tax period over (ii) Tax Distributions (as defined in the LLC Agreement) made by Crumbs with respect to the calendar year of which such quarterly estimated tax period is a part.
2. Crumbs entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement, dated as of May 5, 2011, with Crumbs Holdings and the Members (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) that provides for the payment by Crumbs to the Members (as defined in paragraph 1 of Schedule 10.16 below) of up to 75% of the amount of the tax benefits, if any, that Crumbs is deemed to realize as a result of (i) the existing tax basis in the assets of Crumbs Holdings on the date of the Merger (as defined in paragraph 1 of Schedule 10.16 below), (ii) any increases in such tax basis and (iii) certain other tax benefits related to Crumbs Holdings entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. These payment obligations are obligations of Crumbs and not of Crumbs Holdings. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the benefit deemed realized by Crumbs will be computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of Crumbs Holdings (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that Crumbs would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of Crumbs Holdings as a result of the purchase or exchanges, had there been no tax benefit from the tax basis in the intangible assets of Crumbs Holdings on the date of the Merger and had Crumbs not entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless Crumbs exercises its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement for an amount based on the agreed payments remaining to be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement or Crumbs breaches any of its material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, in which case all obligations will generally be accelerated and due as if Crumbs had exercised its right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement.
3. In lieu of security deposits required pursuant to the terms of several operating leases, Crumbs Holdings has chosen to obtain letters of credit issued by Southeastern Bank and JPMorganChase when such substitution is allowed by the landlords.
a. JPMorganChase has issued two letters of credit: (i) $68,000 (automatically renews each year through its expiration date of February 29, 2016); and (ii) $30,000 (automatically renews each year through its expiration date of November 30, 2016).
