Payment of the Obligations by Borrower, shall be made only by wire transfer, in Dollars, and in immediately available funds when due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, is not subject to compromise, adjustment, extension, satisfaction, rescission, set-off,

counterclaim, defense, abatement, suspension, deferment, deductible, reduction, termination or modification, whether arising out of transactions concerning the Loan, or otherwise. Without limitation to the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law and notwithstanding any other term or provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Borrower hereby waives (and shall cause each Loan Party to waive) (a) presentment, protest and demand, notice of default (except as expressly required in the Loan Documents), notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of protest, notice of demand and of dishonor and non-payment of the Obligations, (b) any requirement of diligence or promptness on Agent’s part in the enforcement of its rights under the provisions of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, (c) any rights, legal or equitable, to require any marshalling of assets or to require foreclosure sales in a particular order, (d) all notices of every kind and description which may be required to be given by any statute or rule of law except as specifically required hereunder, (e) the benefit of all laws now existing or that may hereafter be enacted providing for any appraisement before sale or any portion of the Collateral, (f) all rights of homestead, exemption, redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or declare due the whole of the Obligations in the event of foreclosure of the Liens created by the Loan Documents, (g) the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to any demand under any Loan Document and (h) any defense to the obligation to make any payments required under the Loan Documents, including the obligation to pay taxes based on any damage to, defects in or destruction of the Collateral or any other event, including obsolescence of any of the Collateral, it being agreed and acknowledged that such payment obligations are unconditional and irrevocable. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees (i) to any substitution, subordination, exchange or release of any security or the release of any party primarily or secondarily liable for the payment of the Loan; (ii) that Agent shall not be required to first institute suit or exhaust its remedies hereon against others liable for repayment of all or any part of the Loan, whether primarily or secondarily (collectively, the “Obligors”), or to perfect or enforce its rights against any Obligor or any security for the Loan; and (iii) that its liability for payment of the Loan shall not be affected or impaired by any determination that any security interest or lien taken by Agent for the benefit of Lenders to secure the Loan is invalid or unperfected. Borrower acknowledges, warrants and represents in connection with each waiver of any right or remedy of Borrower contained in any Loan Document, that it has been fully informed with respect to, and represented by counsel of its choice in connection with, such rights and remedies, and all such waivers, and after such advice and consultation, has presently and actually intended, with full knowledge of its rights and remedies otherwise available at law or in equity, to waive or relinquish such rights and remedies to the full extent specified in each such waiver.
2.5 Loan Accounting.
2.5.1 Recordkeeping.
Agent, on behalf of each Lender, shall record in its records the date and amount of each Loan made by each Lender, each prepayment and repayment thereof. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be final, binding and conclusive absent manifest error. The failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the Obligations of Borrower hereunder or under any Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans hereunder, together with all interest accruing thereon.
2.5.2 Notes.
At the request of any Lender, each Loan of such Lender shall be evidenced by a Note, with appropriate insertions, payable to the order of such Lender in a face principal amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share and payable in such amounts and on such dates as are set forth herein.

2.6 Payment of Interest.
2.6.1 Interest Rates.
(a) The outstanding principal balance under the Loan shall bear interest at a per annum rate of interest equal to the Contract Rate (as may be adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Section 2.6.1), which interest shall be calculated from the date of the funding of the Term Loan or Revolving Loan, as applicable. Whenever, subsequent to the date hereof, the LIBOR Rate is increased or decreased (as determined on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to each Payment Date), the Contract Rate, as set forth herein, shall be similarly changed effective as of such subsequent Payment Date, without notice or demand of any kind by an amount equal to the amount of such change in the LIBOR Rate on the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to each such Payment Date. The interest due on the principal balance of the Loan outstanding as of any Payment Date shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed during the period in question on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days and shall be calculated by determining the average daily principal balance outstanding for each day of such period in question. The daily rate shall be equal to 1/360th times the Contract Rate. If any statement furnished by Agent for the amount of a payment due was less than the actual amount that should have been paid because the LIBOR Rate increased and such increase was not reflected in such statement, Borrower shall make the payment specified in such statement from Agent and Borrower shall be required to pay any resulting underpayment with the next subsequent payment due hereunder.
(b) Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that any default on any payment, or portion thereof, due hereunder or to be made under any of the other Loan Documents, will result in losses and additional expenses to Agent in servicing the Loan, and in losses due to Lenders’ loss of the use of funds not timely received. Borrower further acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any such Default, Lenders would be entitled to damages for the detriment proximately caused thereby, but that it would be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain the extent of or compute such damages. Therefore, upon the Maturity Date and upon the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default (or upon any acceleration), interest shall automatically accrue hereunder, without notice to Borrower, at the Default Rate. The Default Rate shall be calculated and due from the date of such Event of Default and shall be payable upon demand.
2.6.2 Payments of Interest and Principal.
Borrower shall pay to Lenders all accrued interest on the Loan in arrears on each Payment Date, upon a prepayment of such Loan in accordance with Section 2.8 and at maturity in cash. Any partial prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied in inverse order of maturity and so shall not reduce the amount of any quarterly principal amortization payment required pursuant to Section 2.9.1 (but this shall not be construed as permitting any partial prepayment other than as may be expressly permitted elsewhere in this Agreement).
2.7 Fees.
(a) Origination Fee. Borrower shall pay to SWK, for its own account, a fee (the “Origination Fee”) in the amount of $97,500, which Origination Fee shall be deemed fully earned and non-refundable on the Closing Date.
(b) Exit Fee. Upon the earlier to occur of (i) the Maturity Date, or (ii) full repayment of the Loan and all other Obligations, whether as a result of the application of Net Cash Proceeds from any Disposition, the contractual acceleration of the Loan hereunder, an acceleration of the Loan by Agent in accordance with this Agreement or otherwise, Borrower shall pay an exit fee to Agent, for the benefit of
- 18 -
[Hooper Holmes] Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
Lenders, in an amount equal to seven percent (7.0%) multiplied by the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan advanced hereunder and the amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment.
(c) Unused Line Fee. To the extent that the average daily principal balance of the Revolving Loan during the twelve (12) month period following the Closing Date, or any subsequent twelve (12) month period as measured on each anniversary of the Closing Date, or portion of such twelve (12) month period to the extent that the Revolving Loan has been terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to an anniversary of the Closing Date, is less than $1,000,000, Borrower shall pay an unused line fee to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, in an amount equal to the difference between (i) interest that would have been due and payable on the Revolving Loan for such period being measured had the average daily principal balance of the Revolving Loan during such period being measured been $1,000,000 and (ii) the interest actually due and payable for such period being measured. Any such unused line fee (i) shall be due and payable on the Payment Date following each anniversary of the Closing Date and the Maturity Date, as applicable, and (ii) shall be waived (A) during any period where Agent elects not to fund a Revolving Loan due to a failure of Borrower to satisfy the conditions for such requested Revolving Loan and (B) at all times following the date on which the Borrower elects to terminate the Revolving Loan and prepay all amounts outstanding thereunder in accordance with Section 2.8.2.
2.8 Prepayment.
2.8.1 Mandatory Prepayment. Borrower shall prepay the Obligations (which shall include any amounts that would otherwise be due and payable on such date had Borrower voluntarily prepaid the Obligations pursuant to Section 2.8.2 (as it relates to any such mandatory prepayment on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date)) until paid in full within two (2) Business Days after the receipt by a Loan Party of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Disposition, in an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds.
2.8.2 Voluntary Prepayment.
(a) (i) Subject to clause (b) below, Borrower may, on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and from time to time thereafter, on at least five (5) Business Days’ or written notice or telephonic notice (followed on the same Business Day by written confirmation thereof) to Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof) not later than 12:00 noon Dallas time on such day, prepay the Term Loan and all related Obligations in whole or in part, provided that if the Term Loan is prepaid in whole, Borrower shall simultaneously with such prepayment prepay the Revolving Loan and all other Obligations under this Agreement and this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon any such prepayment. Such notice to Agent shall specify the amount and proposed date of such prepayment, and the application of such amounts to be prepaid shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.9.1(b) or 2.10.2 (as applicable). Any such partial prepayment shall be in an amount equal to $500,000 or a higher integral multiple of $100,000
(i) Borrower may, at any time, on at least two (2) Business Days’ or written notice or telephonic notice (followed on the same Business Day by written confirmation thereof) to Agent (which shall promptly advise each Lender thereof) not later than 12:00 noon Dallas time on such day, prepay the Revolving Loans and all related Obligations in whole and terminate the availability of the Revolving Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, no fee shall be due and payable in connection with the repayment of the Revolving Loans.
(ii) For the avoidance of doubt, permitted payments under this Section 2.8.2 are independent of and in addition to Revenue-Based Payments that are credited toward the principal of the Loans under Section 2.9.1(b).
- 19 -
[Hooper Holmes] Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
(b) If Borrower makes any prepayment of the Term Loan under clause (a), it shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, the following amounts (in addition to any such prepayment of the Term Loan and related Obligations) on the date of such prepayment: (i) if such prepayment is made on or after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, ten percent (10%) of the aggregate amount of the Term Loan so prepaid, (ii) if such prepayment is made on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, five percent (5%) of the aggregate amount of the Term Loan so prepaid, and (iii) if such prepayment is made on or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, zero percent (0%) of the aggregate amount of the Term Loan so prepaid.
(c) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein or in any other Loan Documents to the contrary, any prepayment of the Loans other than via the application of Revenue-Based Payments made pursuant to Section 2.9.1 or Section 2.10.2, as applicable, or prepayments in accordance with Section 2.8.1, shall be limited and governed by this Section 2.8.2.
2.9 Repayment of Loan.
2.9.1 Revenue-Based Payment.
(a) During the period commencing on the date hereof until the Obligations are Paid in Full, Borrower promises to pay to Agent, for the account of each Lender according to its Pro Rata Share, an amount based on a percentage of the aggregate of Net Sales, Royalties and any other income or revenue recognized by Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, in accordance with GAAP (in each case, excluding the proceeds from Dispositions) (collectively, the “Aggregate Revenue”) in each Fiscal Quarter (the “Revenue-Based Payment”), which will be applied to the Obligations as provided in clause (b) below. The Revenue-Based Payment with respect to each Fiscal Quarter shall be payable on the Payment Date next following the end of such Fiscal Quarter. Commencing with the Fiscal Quarter beginning April 1, 2017, the Revenue-Based Payment with respect to each Fiscal Quarter shall be equal to:
(i) as it solely relates to the Payment Dates in August 2017, November 2017 and February 2018, respectively:
(A) the aggregate Revenue-Based Payments payable from April 1 of 2017 through the end of the Fiscal Quarter ending June 30, 2017, the Fiscal Quarter ending September 30, 2017 and the Fiscal Quarter ending December 31, 2017, respectively, calculated as the sum of (in each case based on the combined Aggregate Revenue of Loan Parties based on the assumption that the Provant Merger was effective as of March 31, 2017 regardless of the actual Closing Date and/or date of such Provant Merger):
(1) fifteen percent (15%) of Aggregate Revenue up to and including $20,000,000 in such Fiscal Year; plus
(2) ten percent (10.0%) of Aggregate Revenue greater than $20,000,000 in such Fiscal Year; minus
(B) the amount of Revenue-Based Payments, if any, made with respect to prior Fiscal Quarters in such Fiscal Year; or
- 20 -
[Hooper Holmes] Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
(ii) as it relates to the Payment Date in May 2018 and each Payment Date thereafter:
(A) the aggregate Revenue-Based Payments payable from January 1 of the Fiscal Year of which such Fiscal Quarter is part through the end of such Fiscal Quarter, calculated as the sum of:
(1) fifteen percent (15%) of Aggregate Revenue up to and including $20,000,000 in such Fiscal Year; plus
(2) ten percent (10.0%) of Aggregate Revenue greater than $20,000,000 in such Fiscal Year; minus
(B) the amount of Revenue-Based Payments, if any, made with respect to prior Fiscal Quarters in such Fiscal Year;
in each case provided that the Revenue-Based Payment is payable solely upon Aggregate Revenue in a given Fiscal Year, and will not be calculated on a cumulative, year-over-year basis.
(b) So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and until the Obligations have been Paid in Full, each Revenue-Based Payment on each Payment Date will be applied in the following priority:
(i) FIRST, to the payment of all fees, costs, expenses and indemnities due and owing to Agent pursuant to Sections 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, 6.3(d), 10.4 and/or 10.5 under this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to the Collateral Documents, and any other Obligations owing to Agent in respect of sums advanced by Agent to preserve or protect the Collateral or to preserve or protect its security interest in the Collateral;
(ii) SECOND, to the payment of all fees, costs, expenses and indemnities due and owing to Lenders in respect of the Loans and Commitments pursuant to Sections 2.7, 3.1, 3.2, 6.3(d), 10.4 and/or 10.5 under this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to the Collateral Documents, pro rata based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, until Paid in Full;
(iii) THIRD, to the payment of all accrued but unpaid interest in respect of the Loans as of such Payment Date (i.e. all accrued interest through and including each such 15th day (or subsequent Business Day) of February, May, August and November), pro rata based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, until Paid in Full;
(iv) FOURTH, as it relates to each Payment Date on or after the Payment Date occurring in February 2019, to the payment of all principal of the Loans, pro rata based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share, in an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of $500,000 or the outstanding principal amount of the Loans as of each such Payment Date (for the avoidance of doubt, no principal payment shall be due and owing hereunder on any Payment Date occurring prior to February 2019);
(v) FIFTH, all remaining amounts to the Borrower.
In the event that the amounts distributed under Section 2.9.1(b) on any Payment Date are insufficient for payment of the amounts set forth in Section 2.9.1(b)(i) through (iv) for such Payment Date, Borrower shall
- 21 -
[Hooper Holmes] Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
pay an amount equal to the extent of such insufficiency within five (5) Business Days of request by Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, at all times prior to the Payment Date in February 2019, Borrower shall only be required to pay Revenue-Based Payments to the extent of amounts owing under clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) above on each such Payment Date prior to February 2019.
(c) In the event that Borrower makes any adjustment to Aggregate Revenue after it has been reported to Agent, and such adjustment results in an adjustment to the Revenue-Based Payment due to the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.9.1, Borrower shall so notify Agent and such adjustment shall be captured, reported and reconciled with the next scheduled report and payment of Revenue-Based Payment hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Borrower shall discuss and agree on the amount of any such adjustment prior to it being given effect with respect to future Revenue-Based Payments.
2.9.2 Principal.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans and all other Obligations then due and owing shall be Paid in Full on the Maturity Date.
2.10 Payment.
2.10.1 Making of Payments.
Except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 2.10.1, all payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts, shall be made in immediately-available funds, via wire transfer as directed by Agent in writing, not later than 1:00 p.m. Dallas time on the date due, and funds received after that hour shall be deemed to have been received by Agent on the following Business Day. Not later than two (2) Business Days prior to each Payment Date, Agent shall provide to Borrower and each Lender a quarterly statement with the amounts payable by Borrower to Agent on such Payment Date in accordance with Section 2.9.1(b) hereof, which shall include, for additional clarity, Agent’s calculation of the Revenue-Based Payment for the prior Fiscal Quarter, which statement shall be binding on Borrower absent manifest error, and Borrower shall be entitled to rely on such quarterly statement in relation to its payment obligations on such Payment Date.
2.10.2 Application of Payments and Proceeds Following an Event of Default.
Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or if the Obligations have otherwise become or have been declared to become immediately due and payable in accordance with this Agreement, then notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, Agent shall apply all or any part of payments in respect of the Obligations and proceeds of Collateral, in each case as received by Agent, to the payment of the Obligations in the order and priority as determined by Agent in its sole discretion.
2.10.3 Set-off.
Borrower agrees that Agent and each Lender and its Affiliates have all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable law, and in addition thereto, Borrower agrees that at any time an Event of Default exists, Agent and each Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply to the payment of any Obligations of Borrower hereunder then due, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of Borrower then or thereafter with Agent or such Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender shall exercise any rights described in the preceding sentence without the prior written consent of Agent.

2.10.4 Proration of Payments.
If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of set-off or otherwise, on account of principal of or interest on any Loan, but excluding any payment pursuant to Section 3.1, 3.2, 10.5 or 10.8) in excess of its applicable Pro Rata Share of payments and other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on such Loan then held by them, then such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery.
Section 3 Yield Protection.
3.1 Taxes.
(a) All payments of principal and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder by or on behalf of Borrower to or for the account of Agent or any Lender shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, property or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, withholdings or other similar charges imposed by any Governmental Authority that is a taxing authority (“Taxes”), excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured by Agent’s or any Lender’s net income (however denominated) or gross profits, and franchise taxes, imposed by any jurisdiction (or subdivision thereof) under the laws of which Agent or such Lender is organized or in which Agent or such Lender conducts business or, in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable lending office is located, (ii) any branch profit taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction in which Agent or a Lender is located or conducts business; (iii) in the case of any Foreign Lender, any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender at the time such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement or designates a new lending office; (iv) in the case of any U.S. Lender, any United States federal backup withholding tax; and (v) taxes imposed under FATCA (items in clauses (i) through (v), “Excluded Taxes”, and all Taxes other than Excluded Taxes, “Indemnified Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then Borrower shall: (w) make such withholding or deduction; (x) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (y) as promptly as practicable forward to Agent the original or a certified copy of an official receipt or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and (z) if the withholding or deduction is with respect to Indemnified Taxes, pay to Agent for the account of Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender will equal the full amount such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction of Indemnified Taxes been required. To the extent that any amounts shall ever be paid by Borrower in respect of Indemnified Taxes, such amounts shall, for greater certainty, be considered to have accrued and to have been paid by Borrower as interest on the Loans.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify Agent and each Lender for any Indemnified Taxes paid by Agent or such Lender, as applicable, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder, and any additions to Tax, penalties and interest paid by Agent or such Lender with respect to such Indemnified Taxes; provided that Borrower shall not have any obligation to indemnify any party hereunder for any Indemnified Taxes or additions to Tax, penalties or interest with respect thereto that result from or are attributable to such party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Payment under this Section 3.1(b) shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date Agent or the Lender, as applicable,
- 23 -
[Hooper Holmes] Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
makes written demand therefor; provided, however, that if such written demand is made more than one-hundred eighty (180) days after the earlier of (i) the date on which Agent or the Lender, as applicable, pays such Indemnified Taxes or additions to Tax, penalties or interest with respect thereto and (ii) the date on which the applicable Governmental Authority makes written demand on Agent or such Lender, as applicable, for payment of such Indemnified Taxes or additions to Tax, penalties or interest with respect thereto, then Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify Agent or such Lender for such Indemnified Taxes or additions to Tax, penalties or interest with respect thereto.
(c) Each Foreign Lender that is a party hereto on the Closing Date or becomes an assignee of an interest under this Agreement under Section 10.8.1 after the Closing Date (unless such Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a party to this Agreement:
(i) Two duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or IRS Form W-8BENE) claiming exemption from withholding of Taxes under an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party;
(ii) two duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(iii) a certificate in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Borrower claiming entitlement to the portfolio interest exemption under Section 881(c) of the IRC and certifying that such Foreign Lender is not (x) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (y) a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or (z) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC, together with two duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or IRS Form W-8BENE); or
(iv) if the Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner of amounts paid to it hereunder, two duly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, each accompanied by a duly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN (or IRS Form W-8BENE), IRS Form W-9 or a portfolio interest certificate described in clause (iii) above from each beneficial owner of such amounts claiming entitlement to exemption from withholding or backup withholding of Taxes.
Each Foreign Lender shall (to the extent legally entitled to do so) provide updated forms to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date any prior form previously provided under this clause (c) becomes obsolete or expires, after the occurrence of an event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (c) or from time to time if requested by Borrower or Agent. Each U.S. Lender shall deliver to Agent and Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrower or Agent) properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W‑9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from backup withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to or indemnify any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.1 with respect to any Taxes required to be deducted or withheld (or any additions to Tax, penalties or interest with respect thereto) (A) on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption provided by a Lender pursuant to this clause (c), or (B) if such Lender shall fail to comply with the certification requirements of this clause (c).
(d) Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender shall timely comply with any certification, documentation, information or other reporting necessary to establish an exemption from
- 24 -
[Hooper Holmes] Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
withholding under FATCA and shall provide any documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent sufficient for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.
(e) If Agent or a Lender determines that it is entitled to or has received a refund of any Taxes for which it has been indemnified by Borrower (or another Loan Party) or with respect to which Borrower (or another Loan Party) shall have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.1, it shall promptly notify Borrower of such refund, and promptly make an appropriate claim to the relevant Governmental Authority for such refund (if it has not previously done so). If Agent or a Lender receives a refund (whether or not pursuant to such claim) of such Taxes, it shall promptly pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Loan Parties under this Section 3.1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that Borrower, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay to Agent or such Lender the amount paid over to Borrower in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 3.1(e) shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person or to alter its internal practices or procedures with respect to the administration of Taxes.
(f) Each Lender shall severally indemnify Borrower for any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender and any additions to Tax, penalties and interest with respect to such Excluded Taxes that are paid by Borrower with respect to a payment hereunder.
3.2 Increased Cost.
(a) If, after the Closing Date, the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration of any applicable law, rule or regulation by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith shall be considered a change in applicable law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued), or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by any Lender; or (ii) shall impose on any Lender any other condition affecting its ability to make loans based on the LIBOR Rate or its obligation to make loans based on the LIBOR Rate; and the result of anything described in clauses (i) and (ii) above is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) such Lender of making or maintaining any loan based on the LIBOR Rate, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or under any of its Notes with respect thereto, then upon demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to Agent), and without duplication of other payment obligations of Borrower hereunder (including pursuant to Section 3.1), Borrower shall pay directly to such Lender such additional amount as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is one-hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date on which such Lender first made demand therefor; provided that if the event giving rise to such costs or reductions has retroactive effect, such one-hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause
- 25 -

None of Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its Obligations hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party.
9.4 Reliance.
Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of Required Lenders (or all Lenders if expressly required hereunder) as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from Lenders of their obligation to indemnify Agent against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of Required Lenders (or all Lenders if expressly required hereunder) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon each Lender.

9.5 Notice of Default.
Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default or Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or any such default in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to Agent for the account of Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Default as may be requested by Required Lenders in accordance with Section 8.2; provided that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Lenders.
9.6 Credit Decision.
Each Lender acknowledges that Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower and the other Loan Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party which may come into the possession of Agent.
9.7 Indemnification.
Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand Agent and its directors, officers, employees and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including Legal Costs, except to the extent any thereof result from the applicable Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out‑of‑pocket expenses (including Legal Costs) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section 9.7 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

9.8 Agent Individually.
SWK and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any Loan Party and any Affiliate of any Loan Party as though SWK were not Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that, pursuant to such activities, SWK or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Loan Parties or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of any such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to their Loans (if any), SWK and its Affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though SWK were not Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include SWK and its Affiliates, to the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.
9.9 Successor Agent.
Agent may resign as Agent at any time upon 30 days’ prior notice to Lenders and Borrower (unless during the existence of an Event of Default such notice is waived by Required Lenders). If Agent resigns under this Agreement, Required Lenders shall, with (so long as no Event of Default exists) the consent of Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint from among Lenders a successor agent for Lenders. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, on behalf of, and after consulting with Lenders and (so long as no Event of Default exists) Borrower, a successor agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent becomes effective, the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above; provided that in the case of any collateral security held by Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue so to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed and the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit so long as retiring Agent shall continue to so hold such collateral security. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in respect of the Collateral.
9.10 Collateral and Guarantee Matters.
Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (a) to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Collateral Document (i) when all Obligations have been Paid in Full; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder (including by consent, waiver or amendment and it being agreed and understood that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of Borrower as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in compliance with this Agreement); or (iii) subject to Section 10.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by Required Lenders; (b) notwithstanding Section 10.1(a)(ii) hereof to release any party from its guaranty under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement
- 59 -
[Hooper Holmes] Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
(i) when all Obligations have been Paid in Full or (ii) if such party was sold or is to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder (including by consent, waiver or amendment and it being agreed and understood that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of Borrower as to the sale or other disposition being made in compliance with this Agreement); or (c) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by Section 7.2(d) (it being understood that Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from Borrower in determining whether the Debt secured by any such Lien is permitted by Section 7.1). Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 9.10.
Agent shall release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Collateral Document (i) when all Obligations have been Paid in Full, (ii) in respect of property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder (it being agreed and understood that Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of Borrower as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in compliance with this Agreement) or (iii) subject to Section 10.1, if directed to do so in writing by Required Lenders.
In furtherance of the foregoing, Agent agrees to execute and deliver to Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, such termination and release documentation as Borrower may reasonably request to evidence a Lien release that occurs pursuant to terms of this Section 9.10.
9.11 SCM Indebtedness and Equivalent Credit Line Intercreditor Agreement.
Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Agent to enter into the Intercreditor Agreement, on its behalf and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of any such agreement (subject to the last sentence of this Section 9.11). Each Lender further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to issue blockages notices in connection with the SCM Indebtedness and/or any Equivalent Credit Lien and the Intercreditor Agreement, or any replacement intercreditor agreement, at the direction of Required Lenders (it being agreed and understood that Agent will not act unilaterally to issue such blockage notices).
9.12 Actions in Concert.
For the sake of clarity, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of Agent and Required Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Agent or Required Lenders.
Section 10 Miscellaneous.
10.1 Waiver; Amendments.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including without limitation, the Intercreditor Agreement) shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Borrower and the applicable Loan Party (with respect to Loan Documents to which Borrower or such Loan Party is a party), by Lenders having aggregate Pro Rata Shares of not less than the aggregate Pro Rata Shares expressly designated herein with respect thereto or, in

the absence of such express designation herein, by Required Lenders, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that:
(i) no such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders directly affected thereby, in addition to Required Lenders and Borrower, do any of the following: (A) increase any of the Commitments (provided that only the Lenders participating in any such increase of the Commitments shall be considered directly affected by such increase), (B) extend the date scheduled for payment of any principal of (except as otherwise expressly set forth below in clause (C)) or interest on the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or (C) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, the amount or rate of interest thereon (provided that Required Lenders may rescind an imposition of default interest pursuant to Section 2.6.1), or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents; and
(ii) no such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders in addition to Borrower and the applicable Loan Party (with respect to Loan Documents to which Borrower or such Loan Party is a party), do any of the following: (A) release any material guaranty under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement or release all or substantially all of the Collateral granted under the Collateral Documents, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (B) change the definition of Required Lenders, (C) change any provision of this Section 10.1, (D) amend the provisions of Section 2.10.2, or (E) reduce the aggregate Pro Rata Shares required to effect any amendment, modification, waiver or consent under the Loan Documents.
(b) No amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent, in addition to Borrower, the applicable Loan Parties, and Required Lenders (or all Lenders directly affected thereby or all of the Lenders, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions above), affect the rights, privileges, duties or obligations of Agent (including without limitation under the provisions of Section 9), under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(c) No delay on the part of Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
10.2 Notices.
All notices hereunder shall be in writing (including via electronic mail) and shall be sent to the applicable party at its address shown on Annex II or at such other address as such party may, by written notice received by the other parties, have designated as its address for such purpose. Notices sent by electronic mail transmission shall be deemed to have been given when sent if sent during regular business hours on a Business Day, otherwise, such deemed delivery will be effective as of the next Business Day; notices sent by mail shall be deemed to have been given five (5) Business Days after the date when sent by registered or certified mail, first class postage prepaid; and notices sent by hand delivery or overnight courier service shall be deemed to have been given when received. Borrower, Agent and Lenders each hereby acknowledge that, from time to time, Agent, Lenders and Borrower may deliver information and notices using electronic mail.
10.3 Computations.
- 61 -
[Hooper Holmes] Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any accounting term used in this Agreement (including in Section 7.13 or any related definition) shall have the meaning customarily given such term in accordance with GAAP, and all financial computations (including pursuant to Section 7.13 and the related definitions, and with respect to the character or amount of any asset or liability or item of income or expense, or any consolidation or other accounting computation) hereunder shall be computed in accordance with GAAP consistently applied; provided that if Borrower notifies Agent that Borrower wishes to amend any covenant in Section 7.13 (or any related definition) to eliminate or to take into account the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of such covenant (or if Agent notifies Borrower that Required Lenders wish to amend Section 7.13 (or any related definition) for such purpose), then Borrower’s compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant (or related definition) is amended in a manner satisfactory to Borrower and Required Lenders. The explicit qualification of terms or computations by the phrase “in accordance with GAAP” shall in no way be construed to limit the foregoing. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 159 (Codification of Accounting Standards 825-10) to value any Debt or other liabilities of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary at “fair value”, as defined therein.
10.4 Costs; Expenses.
Borrower agrees to pay on demand the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of (a) Agent (including Legal Costs) in connection with (i) the preparation, execution, syndication and delivery (including perfection and protection of Collateral) of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all other documents provided for herein or delivered or to be delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (ii) the administration of the Loans and the Loan Documents, and (iii) any proposed or actual amendment, supplement or waiver to any Loan Document, and (b) Agent and Lenders (including Legal Costs) in connection with the collection of the Obligations and enforcement of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any such other documents. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay and to save Agent and Lenders harmless from all liability for, any fees of Borrower’s auditors in connection with any reasonable exercise by Agent and Lenders of their rights pursuant to and to the extent provided in Section 6.2. All Obligations provided for in this Section 10.4 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, and termination of this Agreement.
10.5 Indemnification by Borrower.
In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Agent and Lenders and the agreement to extend the Commitments provided hereunder, Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold Agent, each Lender and each of the officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and agents of Agent and each Lender (each a “Lender Party”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, liabilities, damages and expenses, including Legal Costs (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by Lender Parties or any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to any act or omission of any Loan Party or any of their respective officers, directors or agents, including, without limitation, (a) any tender offer, merger, purchase of equity interests, purchase of assets or other similar transaction financed or proposed to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of any of the Loans, (b) the use, handling, release, emission, discharge, transportation, storage, treatment or disposal of any Hazardous Substance at any property owned or leased by Borrower or any other Loan Party, (c) any violation of any Environmental Laws with respect to conditions at any property owned or leased by any Loan Party or the operations conducted thereon, (d) the investigation, cleanup or

[Hooper Holmes] Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
remediation of offsite locations at which any Loan Party or their respective predecessors are alleged to have directly or indirectly disposed of Hazardous Substances or (e) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any Lender Party, except in any event to the extent any such Indemnified Liabilities result from the applicable Lender Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct or breach of contract, each as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable judgment. If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. All Obligations provided for in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the Loans, cancellation of the Notes, any foreclosure under, or any modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Collateral Documents and termination of this Agreement.
10.6 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.
Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to Agent or any Lender, or Agent or any Lender enforces its Liens or exercises its rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Agent or any Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, or otherwise, then (a) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation hereunder or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Agent upon demand its ratable share of the total amount so recovered from or repaid by Agent to the extent paid to such Lender.
10.7 Nonliability of Lenders.
The relationship between Borrower on the one hand and Lenders and Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibility to Borrower. Neither Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to Borrower to review or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of Borrower’s business or operations. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, execution of this Agreement by Borrower constitutes a full, complete and irrevocable release of any and all claims which Borrower may have at law or in equity in respect of all prior discussions and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Borrower hereby, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, waives, releases and agrees not to sue for, any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages or liabilities.
10.8 Assignments.
10.8.1 Assignments.
(a) Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Persons (other than a Loan Party and their respective Affiliates) (any such Person, an “Assignee”) all or any portion of such Lender’s Loans and Commitments, with the prior written consent of Agent, and, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) provided such consents shall not be required (i) from Borrower for an assignment by a Lender to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender, (ii) from Borrower or Agent
- 63 -
[Hooper Holmes] Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
for an assignment by SWK Funding LLC, as a Lender, to any Person for which SWK Advisors LLC acts as an investment advisor (or any similar type of representation or agency) pursuant to a written agreement or (iii) from Borrower or Agent for an assignment by a Lender to an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender). Except as Agent may otherwise agree, any such assignment (other than any assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or, if less, the Commitment or the principal amount of the Loan being assigned. Borrower and Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until Agent shall have received and accepted an effective Assignment Agreement executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500 to be paid by the Lender to whom such interest is assigned; provided that no such fee shall be payable in connection with any assignment by a Lender to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender.
(b) From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met, (i) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder. Upon the request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) a Note in the principal amount of the Assignee’s Pro Rata Share (and, as applicable, a Note in the principal amount of the Pro Rata Share retained by the assigning Lender). Each such Note shall be dated the effective date of such assignment. Upon receipt by the assigning Lender of such Note, the assigning Lender shall return to Borrower any prior Note held by it.
(c) Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, such Lender pursuant to the terms hereof. The entries in such register shall be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive, and Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to Agent.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.8.1 or any other provision of this Agreement, any Lender may at any time assign all or any portion of its Loans and any of its Notes (i) as collateral security to a Federal Reserve Bank or, as applicable, to such Lender’s trustee for the benefit of its investors (but no such assignment shall release any Lender from any of its obligations hereunder) and (ii) to (w) an Affiliate of such Lender which is at least fifty percent (50%) owned (directly or indirectly) by such Lender or by its direct or indirect parent company, (x) its direct or indirect parent company, (y) to one or more other Lenders or (z) to an Approved Fund.
10.9 Participations.
Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loans, Commitments or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (a) such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (b) Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
- 64 -
[Hooper Holmes] Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and (c) all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any event described in Section 10.1 expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Lenders or, as applicable, all affected Lenders. Each Lender agrees to incorporate the requirements of the preceding sentence into each participation agreement which such Lender enters into with any Participant. Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided that such right of set-off shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with Lenders, and Lenders agree to share with each Participant, as provided in Section 2.10.4. Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3 as if it were a Lender (provided that a Participant shall not be entitled to such benefits unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with the documentation requirements of Section 3.1(c) as if it were a Lender and complies with such requirements, and provided, further, that no Participant shall receive any greater compensation pursuant to Section 3 than would have been paid to the participating Lender if no participation had been sold). Any such Lender transferring a participation shall, as an agent for Borrower, maintain in the United States a register to record the names, address, and interest, principal and other amounts owing to, each Participant. The entries in such register shall be, in the absence of manifest error, conclusive, and Borrower, Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Participant hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. Such Participation register shall be available for inspection by the Agent or Borrower, at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior written notice from Agent or Borrower.
10.10 Confidentiality.
Borrower, Agent and each Lender agree to use commercially reasonable efforts (equivalent to the efforts Borrower, Agent or such Lender applies to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information) to maintain as confidential all information (including, without limitation, any information provided by Borrower pursuant to Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.9) provided to them by any other party hereto and/or any other Loan Party, as applicable, except that Agent and each Lender may disclose such information (a) to Persons employed or engaged by Agent or such Lender or any of their Affiliates (including collateral managers of Lenders) in evaluating, approving, structuring or administering the Loans and the Commitments (provided that such Persons have been informed of the covenants contained in this Section 10.10); (b) to any assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant that has agreed to comply with the covenants contained in this Section 10.10 (and any such assignee or participant or potential assignee or participant may disclose such information to Persons employed or engaged by them as described in clause (a) above); (c) as required or requested by any federal or state regulatory authority or examiner, or any insurance industry association, or as reasonably believed by Agent or such Lender to be compelled by any court decree, subpoena or legal or administrative order or process; (d) as, on the advice of Agent’s or such Lender’s counsel, is required by law; (e) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under the Loan Documents or in connection with any litigation to which Agent or such Lender is a party; (f) to any nationally recognized rating agency or investor of a Lender that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued or investment decisions with respect to such Lender; (g) that ceases to be confidential through no fault of Agent or any Lender; (h) to a Person that is an investor or prospective investor in a Securitization that agrees that its access to information regarding Borrower and the Loans and Commitments is solely for purposes of evaluating an investment in such Securitization and who agrees to treat such information as confidential; or (i) to a Person that is a trustee, collateral manager, servicer,
- 65 -
[Hooper Holmes] Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
noteholder or secured party in a Securitization in connection with the administration, servicing and reporting on the assets serving as collateral for such Securitization. For purposes of this Section, “Securitization” means a public or private offering by a Lender or any of its Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns, of securities which represent an interest in, or which are collateralized, in whole or in part, by the Loans or the Commitments. In each case described in clauses (c), (d) and (e) (as such disclosure in clause (e) pertains to litigation only), where the Agent or Lender, as applicable, is compelled to disclose a Loan Party’s confidential information, promptly after such disclosure the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall notify Borrower of such disclosure provided, however, that neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be required to notify Borrower of any such disclosure (i) to any federal or state banking regulatory authority conducting an examination of the Agent or such Lender, or (ii) to the extent that it is legally prohibited from so notifying Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent reserves the right to provide to industry trade organizations information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements.

10.12 Nature of Remedies.
All Obligations of Borrower and rights of Agent and Lenders expressed herein or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by applicable law. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts and each such counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same Agreement. Receipt by facsimile machine or in “.pdf” format through electronic mail of any executed signature page to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall constitute effective delivery of such signature page. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission (including “.pdf”), shall be treated in all manner and respects and for all purposes as an original agreement or amendment and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto or to any such other Loan Document shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or amendment was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.
10.14 Severability.
The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.

Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub.

(b) In addition to the forgoing, Agent and Lenders hereby waive any and all “Defaults” or “Events of Default” that have occurred and are continuing as of the Closing Date in relation to any prior failure of Borrower to comply with the financial covenants set forth in Sections 7.13.2 and/or 7.13.3 of the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Specified Defaults”). Except as it relates to the Specified Defaults, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other communication between Agent, any Lender, Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be a waiver of any past, present or future violation, Default or Event of Default of Borrower under this Agreement or any Loan Document. Agent and each Lender hereby expressly reserves any rights, privileges and remedies under this Agreement and each Loan Document that Agent or such Lender may have with respect to any violation, Default or Event of Default, and any failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, privilege or remedy as a result of the violations set forth above shall not directly or indirectly in any way whatsoever either (i) impair, prejudice or otherwise adversely affect the rights of Agent or any Lender, except as set forth herein, at any time to exercise any right, privilege or remedy in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document, (ii) amend or alter any provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document or any other contract or instrument or (iii) constitute any course of dealing or other basis for altering any obligation of Borrower or any rights, privilege or remedy of Agent or any Lender under this Agreement or any Loan Document or any other contract or instrument.
