(a)                                 Each of Parent, Borrower and each other Guarantor hereby acknowledge and agrees that as of June 29, 2012, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances under the Credit Agreement was $0 and the Letter of Credit Usage was $5,865,925.27 and that such Obligations are payable pursuant to the Credit Agreement as modified hereby without defense, offset, withholding, counterclaim, or deduction of any kind.  For the avoidance of doubt, Parent, Borrower and each other Guarantor hereby acknowledge and agrees that the foregoing does not include accrued and unpaid interest, fees, costs, and expenses under the Loan Documents.  Parent and each other Guarantor hereby acknowledges, confirms and reaffirms (i) that all of such Obligations constitute Guarantied Obligations (as defined in the Guaranty), and (ii) all obligations owing by it to the Lender Group under any Loan Document to which it is a party, in each case, are unconditionally owing by it to the Agent, without offset, defense, withholding, counterclaim, or deduction of any kind, nature, or description whatsoever.

 

(b)                                 Effective on the date hereof, each of Borrower and each Guarantor, for itself and on behalf of its successors, assigns, and officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys, and any Person acting for or on behalf of, or claiming through it, hereby waives, releases, remises and forever discharges Agent and each Lender, each of their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective successors in title, past, present and future officers, directors, employees, limited partners, general partners, investors, attorneys, assigns, subsidiaries, shareholders, trustees, agents and other professionals and all other persons and entities to whom any member of the Lenders would be liable if such persons or entities were found to be liable to Borrower or such Guarantor (each a “Releasee” and collectively, the “Releasees”), from any and all past, present and future claims, suits, liens, lawsuits, adverse consequences, amounts paid in settlement, debts, deficiencies, diminution in value, disbursements, demands, obligations, liabilities, causes of action, damages, losses, costs and expenses of any kind or character, whether based in equity, law, contract, tort, implied or express warranty, strict liability, criminal or civil statute or common law (each a “Claim” and collectively, the “Claims”), whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, direct, indirect, or derivative, asserted or unasserted, matured or unmatured, foreseen or unforseen, past or present, liquidated or unliquidated, suspected or unsuspected, which Borrower or such Guarantor ever had from the beginning of the world to the date hereof, now has, or might hereafter have against any such Releasee which Claims relate, directly or indirectly, to any act or omission by any Releasee that occurred

 

12



 

on or prior to the date of this Amendment and relate, directly or indirectly, to the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or to any acts or omissions of any such Releasee with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to the lender-borrower relationship evidenced by the Loan Documents, except for the duties and obligations set forth in this Amendment or the Loan Documents.  As to each and every Claim released hereunder, each of Borrower and each Guarantor hereby represents that it has received the advice of legal counsel with regard to the releases contained herein, and having been so advised, specifically waives the benefit of the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California which provides as follows:

 

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH A CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

 

As to each and every Claim released hereunder, each of Borrower and each Guarantor also waives the benefit of each other similar provision of applicable federal or state law (including without limitation the laws of the state of New York), if any, pertaining to general releases after having been advised by its legal counsel with respect thereto.

 

Each of Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those now known or believed to be true with respect to such Claims and agrees that this instrument shall be and remain effective in all respects notwithstanding any such differences or additional facts.  Each of Borrower and each Guarantor understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release.

 

(c)                                  Each of Borrower and each Guarantor, for itself and on behalf of its successors, assigns, and officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys, and any Person acting for or on behalf of, or claiming through it, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Releasee above that it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Releasee on the basis of any Claim released, remised and discharged by such Person pursuant to the above release.  Each of Borrower and each Guarantor further agrees that it shall not dispute the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of its obligations thereunder, or the validity, priority, enforceability or the extent of Agent’s Lien on any item of Collateral under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  If Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective successors, assigns, or officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys, or any Person acting for or on behalf of, or claiming through it violate the foregoing covenant, such Person, for itself and its successors, assigns and legal representatives, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Releasee may sustain as a result of such violation, all attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by such Releasee as a result of such violation.

 

10.                               Choice of Law and Venue; Jury Trial Waiver; Judicial Reference.  THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS REGARDING CHOICE OF LAW AND VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER, AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE SET FORTH IN SECTION 12 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, AS AMENDED HEREBY, AND SUCH PROVISIONS ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY THIS REFERENCE, MUTATIS MUTANDIS.

 

11.                               Counterpart Execution.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, taken together shall constitute but one and

 

13



 

the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment.  Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Amendment, but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Amendment.

 

12.                               Effect on Loan Documents.

 

(a)                                 The Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement, each as amended hereby, and each of the other Loan Documents, as amended as of the date hereof, shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and hereby are ratified and confirmed in all respects.  The execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment shall not operate, except as expressly set forth herein, as a waiver of, consent to, or a modification or amendment of, any right, power, or remedy of Agent or any Lender under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Except for the amendments to the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement expressly set forth herein, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.  The amendments, consents, waivers and modifications set forth herein are limited to the specified hereof, shall not apply with respect to any facts or occurrences other than those on which the same are based, shall neither excuse future non-compliance with the Loan Documents nor operate as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, shall not operate as a consent to any further or other matter under the Loan Documents and shall not be construed as an indication that any future waiver of covenants or any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document will be agreed to, it being understood that the granting or denying of any waiver which may hereafter be requested by Borrower remains in the sole and absolute discretion of the Agent and the Lenders.

 

(b)                                 Upon and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “herein”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “the Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “therein”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Credit Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Credit Agreement as modified and amended hereby.  Upon and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Security Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “herein”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Security Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “the Security Agreement”, “thereunder”, “therein”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Security Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Security Agreement as modified and amended hereby.

 

(c)                                  This Amendment is a Loan Document.

 

(d)                                 Unless the context of this Amendment clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or”.  The words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereby”, “hereunder”, and similar terms in this Amendment refer to this Amendment as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Amendment.  Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Amendment unless otherwise specified.  Any reference in this Amendment to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein).  The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties, including cash, securities, accounts, and contract rights.  Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns.

 

14



 

13.                               Entire Agreement.  This Amendment, and the terms and provisions hereof, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the matters amended hereby and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous amendments or understandings with respect to the matters amended hereby, whether express or implied, oral or written.

 

14.                               Reaffirmation of Obligations.  Each of Parent and Borrower hereby reaffirms its obligations under each Loan Document to which it is a party.  Each of Parent and Borrower hereby further ratifies, reaffirms, acknowledges, agrees, and confirms the validity and enforceability of all of the Liens and security interests granted, pursuant to and in connection with the Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, to Agent, as collateral security for the Obligations under the Loan Documents in accordance with their respective terms, and acknowledges that all of such Liens and security interests, and all Collateral heretofore pledged as security for such Obligations, continue to be and remain collateral for such Obligations from and after the date hereof.

 

15.                               Ratification.  Each of Parent and Borrower hereby restates, ratifies and reaffirms each and every term and condition set forth in the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents effective as of the date hereof and as amended hereby.

 

16.                               Severability.  In case any provision in this Amendment shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the remainder of this Amendment and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
