C. Prior to the date hereof, the Borrower has satisfied a portion of the principal amount under the Existing FA Note, leaving $6,980,824.22 in principal amount of the Existing FA Note outstanding.
D. The Existing Facility Agreement obligates the Borrower to pay to DPDF $3,333,333.33 of the outstanding principal amount of the Existing FA Note, including the applicable PIK Increase Amount, on February 14, 2020 (the February 2020 Payment) and the balance of the outstanding principal amount of the Existing FA Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the Existing FA Note, on June 1, 2020 (the Final Payment).

F. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, DPDF has agreed with the Borrower to (y) amend the Existing Facility Agreement and the Warrants, among other things, (i) to defer the February 2020 Payment and the Final Payment until, and to provide for payment of principal and interest on the Existing FA Note on, March 31, 2021, (ii) to modify the definition of Permitted Indebtedness to permit the Borrower to incur additional Indebtedness as set forth herein, and (iii) to make such other changes as may be necessary or appropriate to provide for the exchange of Indenture Notes for December 2019 Notes as provided herein and (z) amend and restate the Existing FA Note to be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (as so amended and restated, the A&R Senior Secured Convertible Note and, together with the December 2019 Notes, the Notes). The Existing Facility Agreement, as amended hereby and as the same may in the future be amended, modified, restated or otherwise supplemented from time to time is referred to herein as the Facility Agreement.
G.

Section 7.05. Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.
(a) As part of the consideration and mutual promises being exchanged and given in connection with this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that all claims, controversies and disputes of any kind or nature arising under or relating in any way to the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement or to the parties dealings, rights or obligations in connection herewith, including disputes relating to the negotiations for, inducements to enter into, or execution of, this Agreement, and disputes concerning the interpretation, enforceability, performance, breach, termination or validity of all or any portion of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any laws, rules or provisions that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.
(b) The parties hereto agree that all claims, controversies and disputes of any kind or nature relating in any way to the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement or to the parties dealings, rights or obligations in connection herewith, shall be brought exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, borough of Manhattan. With respect to any such claims, controversies or disputes, each of the parties hereby irrevocably:
(i) submits itself and its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action in any court or tribunal other than the aforesaid courts;
(ii) waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding (A) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 7.05, (B) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (C) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law, any claim that (1) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (2) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (3) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts; and
17
(iii) WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.05.
Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 7.05, a party may commence any action or proceeding in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts.
Section 7.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any amendment hereto may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. In the event that any signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a .pdf format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or .pdf signature page were an original thereof. No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a .pdf format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that such signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a .pdf format data file as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract, and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.
Section 7.07. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any person (other than the parties to this Agreement) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
Section 7.08. Remedies; Specific Performance. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under the Facility Agreement, the A&R Senior Secured Convertible Note, the December 2019 Notes, the other Transaction Documents and/or otherwise at law or in equity. No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy, and nothing herein shall limit any Lenders right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms of this Agreement, the Facility Agreement, the A&R Senior Secured Convertible Note, the December 2019 Notes and the other Transaction Documents. The parties to this Agreement agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties to this Agreement would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Facility Agreement or any other Transaction Document were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each of the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement, the Facility Agreement or any other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Facility Agreement, and the other Transaction Documents in each case without the necessity of posting bond or other security or showing actual damages, and this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.
18
Section 7.09. Effect of Headings. The section and subsection headings herein are for convenience only and not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the interpretation thereof.
Section 7.10. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
Section 7.11. Reservation of Rights. None of the Lenders has hereby waived any of such Lenders rights or remedies arising from any breach or default or any right otherwise available under the Facility Agreement, any other Transaction Document or at law or in equity as to any of such Lenders Notes. Each of the Lenders expressly reserves all such rights and remedies. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, each Lender hereby agrees that the issuance of the December 2019 Notes to such Lender satisfies in full any and all obligations of the Borrower under the Indenture as to the Indenture Notes held by such Lender and such Lenders remedies with regard to such Indenture Notes shall be solely as described in this Agreement.
Section 7.12. Further Assurances. The parties hereby agree, from time to time, as and when reasonably requested by any other party hereto, to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and agreements, including secretarys certificates, stock powers and irrevocable transfer agent instructions, and to take or cause to be taken such further or other action, as any party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall take such action, and deliver such notices, documents, instruments and agreements as the Trustee may reasonably require to effectuate the exchange and surrender of Indenture Notes in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 7.13. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.
19
Section 7.14. Interpretative Matters. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, (a) all references to Sections, Schedules, Appendices or Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules, Appendices or Exhibits contained in or attached to this Agreement, (b) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, (c) the words hereof, herein and words of similar effect shall reference this Agreement in its entirety, and (d) the use of the word including in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation. Unless otherwise indicated, references to Transaction Documents in this Agreement refer to Transaction Documents (as defined in the Facility Agreement), each as amended as of the Effective Date, including as provided by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any difference in the provisions of the form of December 2019 Notes from the form of note representing the Existing FA Note should not be interpreted in any manner adverse to the interests of the holder of the Existing FA Note.
Section 7.15. Reaffirmation. Other than as expressly provided in this Agreement, the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lenders, constitute a waiver of any provision of the Facility Agreement, the Existing FA Note, any other Transaction Documents (as currently in effect) or any other document executed in connection therewith or serve to effect a novation of the obligations thereunder. The Borrower, as issuer, debtor, grantor, pledger, mortgagor, guarantor or assignor, or in other any other similar capacity in which it grants liens or security interests in its property hereby (i) acknowledges and agrees that it has reviewed this Agreement, (ii) ratifies and reaffirms all of its obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each of the Transaction Documents, and (iii) to the extent the Borrower granted Liens on or security interests in any of its property pursuant to any such Transaction Document as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Facility Agreement) under or with respect to the Transaction Documents, ratifies and reaffirms such grant of security interests and Liens as provided in the Transaction Documents and confirms and agrees that such security interests and Liens continue to secure all of the currently outstanding or future Obligations (as amended hereby) on the terms and conditions of the Transactions Documents (for the avoidance of doubt as amended as of the date of this Agreement (including as provided in this Agreement)). The Borrower hereby consents to this Agreement and acknowledges that this Agreement, each December 2019 Note, the A&R Senior Secured Convertible Note and each document or agreement executed and delivered pursuant to, or in connection with, the execution and delivery of this Agreement is a Transaction Document and each of the other Transaction Documents, each as amended as of the Effective Date (including as provided in this Agreement), remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and reaffirmed; provided that, nothing in this Section 7.15 shall obligate the Borrower to restate, or be considered to be a restatement of, the representations of the Borrower contained in Article 3 of the Facility Agreement as of the date hereof. Any reference in the Transaction Documents to hereunder, hereof, herein, or words of like import referring to such agreement shall refer to such Transaction Document as amended as of the Effective Date (including as provided in this Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that, nothing contained herein or in Exhibit C shall be deemed or construed as an agreement by any Lender to make any Disbursement or additional Loan on or after the date hereof.
Section 7.16. Payment Set Aside. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any payment or transfer (or any portion thereof) to either of the Lenders shall be subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or a fraudulent conveyance or preferential, avoided, rescinded, set aside or otherwise required to be return or repaid, whether in bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceedings involving the Borrower or otherwise, then the Obligations (as defined in the Facility Agreement) purportedly satisfied with such payment or
20
transfer, to the extent that such payment is or must be invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or a fraudulent conveyance or preferential, avoided, rescinded, set aside or otherwise required to be return or repaid, shall immediately be reinstated, without need for any action by any Person, and shall be enforceable against the Borrower, any guarantor and their successors and permitted assigns as if such payment had never been made (in which case this Agreement shall in no way impair the claims of Lenders with respect to such payment or transfer). The provisions of this Section 7.16 shall survive the satisfaction in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Facility Agreement.
Section 7.17. Termination. Except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by the Lenders prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect if any of the conditions set forth in Article VI are not satisfied or waived by the Required Lenders on or prior to December 18, 2019; provided, however, that the Borrowers obligations under Section 4.06 hereof shall survive such termination until performed by the Borrower in full.
Section 7.18. Independent Nature of Lenders. The obligations of each Lender under this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Lender, and no Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Lender under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Each Lender shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. The decision of each Lender to enter into this Agreement, consummate the Exchange and acquire the December 2019 Notes pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Lender independently of any other Lender and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Borrower that may have been made or given by any other Lender or by any agent, attorney, advisor, representative or employee of any other Lender, and no Lender or any of its agents, attorneys, advisors, representatives or employees shall have any liability to any other Lender (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by any Lender pursuant hereto or thereto (including a Lenders acquisition of Obligations, Notes, Conversion Shares or any other securities at the same time as any other Lender), shall be deemed to constitute the Lenders as, and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders do not thereby constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Lenders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such Obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and the Borrower shall not assert any contrary position.
Section 7.19. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) each Lender is acting at arms length from the Borrower with respect to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (b) no Lender will, solely by virtue of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, become an Affiliate of, or have any agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship with, the Borrower (provided that this clause (b) shall not apply to any Lender that on the Effective Date receives a December 2019 Note with a 19.985% Cap); (c) no Lender has acted, or is or will be acting, as a financial advisor to, or fiduciary (or in any similar capacity) of, or has any fiduciary or similar duty to, the Borrower with respect to, or in connection with, this
21
Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the Borrower agrees not to assert, and hereby waives, any claim that any Lender has any fiduciary duty to the Borrower; (d) any advice given by a Lender or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Lenders performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder (including, in the case of each of the Lenders, its acquisition of the December 2019 Notes and any Conversion Shares); and (e) the Borrowers decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Borrower and their representatives.

Section 2.3 Payment.
(a) The Borrower shall pay in cash Dollars to each of the Lenders its Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on March 31, 2021.
(b) The DPDF Lender Term Notes shall be deemed prepaid without premium, to the extent a Lender pays the Exercise Price (as such term is defined in the Warrants) through a reduction of the principal amount outstanding under such DPDF Lenders Term Note in accordance with Section 3(a)(i) of the Warrant.
(c) Each such payment, repayment, redemption and prepayment shall be applied as follows:
(i) So long as no Event of Default has occurred or shall be continuing, first, to accrued and unpaid interest owed to the Lenders under the Transaction Documents and second, to the principal amount of the Loans owed to the Lenders and shall be allocated among the Lenders in accordance with and in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares.
(ii) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and thereafter for so long as such Event of Default is continuing, (A) first, to all fees, costs and expenses (including any attorneys fees) owed any Lender under the Transaction Documents, (B) second, ratably to accrued and unpaid interest owed to the Lenders under the Transaction Documents, (C) third, ratably to the principal amount of the Loans owed to the Lenders, and (D) fourth, to all other Obligations owing to any Lender, to such Lender, and, with respect to any such Obligations owed to the Lenders, shall be allocated among such Lenders in accordance with and in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares of such Obligations.

Following an increase in the principal amount of each Senior Secured Convertible Note (or any Senior Secured Convertible Note issued in substitution therefor) as a result of a PIK Interest Payment, such increased principal shall bear interest at the rate applicable to such Senior Secured Convertible Note, and such interest shall be paid in kind (and such payment in kind shall also be deemed a PIK Interest Payment hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, any accrued and unpaid interest that is payable upon maturity or upon any other payment or prepayment (in connection with the acceleration of the Loans, an amortization payment or otherwise) of a Senior Secured Convertible Note shall be paid in cash Dollars, and all payments and prepayments (in connection with the acceleration of the Loans, an amortization payment or otherwise) shall be applied to the Loans in accordance with Section 2.3(c) of this Agreement.
(e) Upon the incurrence of the Permitted Indebtedness described in subsection (xiv) of the definition thereof, the Borrower shall repay in cash Dollars the Obligations under the Senior Secured Convertible Notes and, to the extent the Senior Secured Convertible Notes are satisfied in full, the December 2019 Notes in an amount equal to no less than one-third (1/3) of the principal amount of such Permitted Indebtedness.
Section 2.4 Payments. All payments by the Borrower under any of the Transaction Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim. Payments of any amounts due to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be made in cash Dollars in immediately available funds prior to 11:00 a.m. New York City time on such date that any such payment is due, at such bank or places as the Lenders shall from time to time designate in writing at least 5 Business Days prior to the date such payment is due. The Borrower shall pay all and any costs (administrative or otherwise) imposed by banks, clearing houses, or any other financial institution, in connection with making any payments under any of the Transaction Documents, except for any costs imposed by the Lenders banking institutions.
Section 2.5 Taxes, Duties and Fees.
(a) Any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of a Lender under any Transaction Document shall be made, in accordance with this Section 2.5, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Indemnified Taxes are required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any sum payable under a Transaction Document (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Warrant and the Agreement and Plan of Merger), (i) the sum payable shall be increased by as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.5) the Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made (any and all such additional amounts payable shall hereafter be referred to as the Additional Amounts), (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with Applicable Law. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of such Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.
17
(b) In addition, Borrower agrees to pay or cause to be paid all Other Taxes. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Other Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.
(c) Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within 10 days after receipt of demand therefor, the Lender for all Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.5(c)) paid by such Lender, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate of the Lender delivered to Borrower setting forth the amount and nature of the Indemnified Taxes paid by Lender shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(d) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Transaction Document shall timely deliver to Borrower such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender shall deliver to Borrower such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or as reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements and to enable Borrower to comply with such requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.5(d)(i), (ii), (iii) and Section 2.5(f) below) shall not be required if in the Lenders reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender, on or prior to the date of becoming a Lender hereunder (and in each case, from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower) will deliver to Borrower either:
(i) a duly completed IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that the Lender is a U.S. person for U.S. tax purposes and is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax (provided, however, that if the Lender is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes it shall provide a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 for its non-disregarded owner in the appropriate manner); or
(ii) if it is not a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is legally entitled to do so, a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY or other applicable form (together with any required supporting documentation), or any other applicable certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower, certifying in the case of an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI the extent to which such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement at a reduced rate of, or exemption from, deduction or withholding of any U.S. withholding tax and, if such Lender is relying on the portfolio interest exception of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), shall also provide the Borrower with a certificate (the Portfolio Interest Certificate) representing that such Lender is not
18
a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), is not a 10% shareholder of the Borrower described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), and is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person (within the meaning of Sections 881(c)(3)(C) and 864(d)(4) of the Code, or any successor provisions thereto); and
(iii) each Lender that delivers to Borrower an IRS Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY or other document pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) further undertakes to deliver to Borrower further copies of the said form or other document and IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, W-8IMY or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification, as the case may be within a reasonable time after gaining knowledge of the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms or other documents previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower.
(e) If a Lender determines in good faith that it has received a refund from a Governmental Authority of Taxes in respect of which the Borrower paid Additional Amounts or made a payment pursuant to this Section 2.5, such Lender shall promptly pay such refund (limited to the amount of indemnity payments including Additional Amounts made by Borrower under this Section 2.5 with respect to the Taxes refunded) to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expense (including any Taxes imposed thereon) of such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund, provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender if such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority and provides written evidence thereof to the Borrower. Nothing in this Section shall require any Lender to disclose any information it deems confidential (including, without limitation, its Tax returns) to any Person, including Borrower.
(f) If a payment made to a Lender under any Transaction Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), then such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lenders obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Effective Date, the Borrower shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Borrower to treat) the Loans as not qualifying as grandfathered obligations within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i). Solely for purposes of this Section 2.5(f), FACTA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Agreement Date.
19
(g) If the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to any of Section 2.5(a) through Section 2.5(c), then such Lender shall at the request of the Borrower use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of any such event by completing and delivering or filing any Tax-related forms or other documents that the Lender is lawfully able to deliver and that would establish the Lenders eligibility for a reduction or elimination of any amount of Taxes required to be deducted or withheld or paid by the Borrower hereunder, unless the Lender determines that such completion, delivery or filing of such forms or other documents (other than such documentation set forth in paragraphs (d)(i), (d)(ii), (d)(iii) and (f) of this Section 2.5) would subject such Lender to any significant unreimbursed cost or loss or would prejudice the legal, commercial or tax position of such Lender.
(h) For purposes of this Section 2.5, the term Applicable Law includes FATCA.
Section 2.6 Costs, Expenses and Losses(a) . If, as a result of any failure by the Borrower to pay any sums due under this Agreement on the due date therefor (after the expiration of any applicable grace periods), the Lenders shall incur costs, expenses and/or losses, by reason of the liquidation or redeployment of deposits from third parties or in connection with obtaining funds to make a Disbursement, the Borrower shall pay to any Lender upon request by such Lender, the amount of such costs, expenses and/or losses within 15 Business Days after receipt by it of a certificate from such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such costs, expenses and/or losses, along with supporting documentation. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, costs, expenses and/or losses shall include, without limitation, any interest paid or payable to carry any unpaid amount and any loss, premium, penalty or expense which may be incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits of or borrowings from third parties in order to make, maintain or fund the Loan or any portion thereof.
Section 2.7 Interest.
The outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall bear interest at the Interest Rate (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in each month). Except as set forth in Section 2.3(d), accrued interest shall first be paid in arrears on July 1, 2014 and thereafter quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each, October, January, April and July thereafter (each, an Interest Payment Date). From and after the Effective Date, interest shall be paid in accordance with Section 2.3(d).
Section 2.8 Interest on Late Payments. Without limiting the remedies available to the Lenders under the Transaction Documents or otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Laws, if the Borrower fails to make a required payment of principal or interest with respect to the Notes when due, the Borrower shall pay on demand by the Required Lenders, in respect of such unpaid principal and interest, interest at the rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate plus 10% for so long as such payment remains outstanding.

Section 6.2 Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given to the Lenders or the Borrower under any Transaction Document, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.
Section 6.3 Reimbursement of Legal and Other Expenses. If any amount owing to the Lenders under any Transaction Document shall be collected through enforcement of this Agreement, any Transaction Document or restructuring of the Loan in the nature of a work-out, settlement, negotiation, or any process of law, or shall be placed in the hands of third Persons for collection, the Borrower shall pay (in addition to all monies then due in respect of the Loan or otherwise payable under any Transaction Document) reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys and other fees and expenses incurred in respect of such collection.
Section 6.4 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such State. All legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a Party or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such Party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.
40
Section 6.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights under the Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of the Lenders. No Lender may sell or otherwise transfer its commitment to extend Loans hereunder without Borrowers written consent. Each Lender may sell or otherwise transfer a Note in accordance with such Notes terms, provided that, absent an Event of Default such Lender may not sell or otherwise transfer such Note to a Competitor of the Borrower and, provided further, that such Lender shall have provided notice of the transfer to the Borrower for recordation in the Register pursuant to Section 1.4. Upon the transfer of an interest in a Note in accordance with the terms hereof and of such Note, the Borrower shall record the identity of the transferee and other relevant information in the Register and the transferee shall (to the extent of the interests transferred to such transferee) have all the rights and obligations of, and shall be deemed, a Lender hereunder. Before any Lender assigns all or any part of its rights under this Agreement or the Notes to a Party other than an investment fund managed by Deerfield Management, L.P., the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to appoint an administrative agent and grant such agent with rights and duties customary among syndicated credit facilities. Any such amendment shall be at Lenders sole expense.
Section 6.6 Entire Agreement; Amendment. The Transaction Documents and the Equity Documents contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the matters covered thereby and supersede any and all other written and oral communications, negotiations, commitments and writings with respect thereto. No amendment, restatement, modification, supplement, change, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (other than the Warrants, any Control Agreement or any similar agreement or any landlord agreement or bailee or mortgagee waiver, each of which may be amended, restated, supplemented, changed, terminated or waived in accordance with the terms thereof), and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Credit Party therefrom shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Borrower and the Required Lenders (and shall not require the consent of any other Lenders). Nothing contained in this Section 6.6 shall prohibit, restrict or limit or be deemed to prohibit, restrict or limit, the entry by any Credit Party into separate agreements and/or transactions with any Lender or Affiliate thereof, in respect of the Notes held by such Lender or otherwise, to the extent not otherwise prohibited, restricted or limited by this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.
Section 6.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
Section 6.8 Execution; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several Counterparts and by each Party by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including by email with an attached digital representation of a signature page hereto) on separate counterparts, each of which and any facsimile or other electronic copies thereof shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
41
Section 6.9 Survival.
(a) This Agreement and all agreements, representations and warranties made in the Transaction Documents, and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant thereto or in connection therewith shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loan hereunder regardless of any investigation made by any such other Party or on its behalf, and shall continue in force until all amounts payable under the Transaction Documents shall have been fully paid in accordance with the provisions thereof, and the Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of making the Loan, any Event of Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that the Lenders may have had notice or knowledge of any such Event of Default or may have had notice or knowledge that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Disbursement was made.
(b) The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 1.4 and 2.5 and the obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders under this Article 6, including, without limitation, Section 6.11 and 6.17, shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
Section 6.10 Waiver. Neither the failure of, nor any delay on the part of, any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any waiver of any right, power, privilege or default hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, constitute a waiver of any other right, power, privilege or default or constitute a waiver of any default of the same or of any other term or provision. No course of dealing and no delay in exercising, or omission to exercise, any right, power or remedy accruing to the Lenders upon any default under this Agreement or any other agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the action of the Lenders in respect of any such default, or any acquiescence by it therein, affect or impair any right, power or remedy of the Lenders in respect of any other default. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by law.
Section 6.11 Indemnity.
(a) The Borrower shall, at all times, indemnify and hold each Lender harmless (the Indemnity) and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an Indemnified Person) in connection with any losses, claims (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys fees incurred in defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties, or other reasonable and documented out-of-
42
pocket expenses arising out of, or relating to, the Transaction Documents, the extension of credit hereunder, the Loan or the use or intended use of the Loan, or a breach of Section 3.1(h) of this Agreement, regardless of Borrowers lack of knowledge, which an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject but (each, a Loss). The Indemnity shall not apply (i) to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction issues a final judgment that such Loss resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person or (ii) to Losses that do not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and that is brought by an Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person or (iii) in relation to any settlement effected by any Indemnified Person without the Borrowers consent. The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to any other agreement of the Borrower under any Transaction Document to pay any amount to the Lenders, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this subsection shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section hereof or under any other agreement. For the avoidance on doubt, this Section 6.11 shall not apply to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Loss in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying person under this Section 6.11, deliver to Borrower a written notice of the commencement thereof, and Borrower shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent Borrower so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to Borrower and the Indemnified Person, as the case may be.
(c) An Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying person, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Person, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and Borrower would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Borrower shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons. The failure of an Indemnified Person to deliver written notice to the Borrower within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Borrower of any liability to the Indemnified person under this Section 6.11, except to the extent that Borrower is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6.11 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.
(d) The Borrower will not be liable under the Transaction Documents for any amount paid by an Indemnified Person to settle any claims or actions if the settlement is entered into without the Borrowers consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided that this section 6.11(f) shall not apply to those settlements where the Borrower was offered the ability to assume the defense of the action that directly and specifically related to the subject matter of such settlement and elected not to assume such defense.
43
(e) TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NO PARTY HERETO SHALL ASSERT, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST ANY INDEMNIFYING PARTY HEREUNDER, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGE (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
Section 6.12 No Usury. The Transaction Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be deemed excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Loan, or if such deemed excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan, such deemed excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loan until payment in full so that the deemed rate of interest on account of the Loan is uniform throughout the term thereof. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement and the Notes.
Section 6.13 Further Assurances. From time to time, the Parties shall perform any and all acts and execute and deliver to the other parties hereto such additional documents as may be necessary or as requested by any Party to carry out the purposes of any Transaction Document or any or to preserve and protect rights of such Party as contemplated therein.
Section 6.14 Confidentiality.
(a) Lenders agree that they will hold any confidential information they may receive from Borrower in connection with The Transaction Documents in confidence, unless such confidential information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Subsection 6.14(a) by Lenders), (b) is or has been independently developed or conceived by Lenders without use of Borrowers confidential information, or (c) is or has been made known or disclosed to Lender by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to Borrower; provided, however, that Lenders may disclose confidential information (i) to their attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their services in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents; (ii) to any prospective purchaser of any Loan from Lenders, if a transfer to such prospective purchaser is permitted and such prospective purchaser agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Subsection 6.14(a); (iii) to any existing or prospective Affiliate, partner, member, shareholder, or wholly owned subsidiary of a Lender in the ordinary course of business, provided that Lenders inform such Person that such information is confidential and direct such Person to maintain the confidentiality of such information; (iv) as may otherwise be required by law, regulation or legal process; or (v) to any Person in connection with any legal proceeding to which it is a party.
44
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in any Transaction Document or in any other agreement entered into on or before the Effective Date, in the event that the Borrower or any other Credit Party believes that a notice or communication to any Lender or to any officer, partner, employee or Affiliate of any Lender (collectively with the Lenders, the Lender Parties) or any other information that may be provided by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Credit Party to any of the Lender Parties contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Borrower, any Credit Party or any of their respective subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of their respective property, assets, securities or businesses, the Borrower shall so indicate to the applicable Lender Party contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, communication or information, and such indication shall provide such Lender Party the means to refuse to receive such notice or communication; and in the absence of any such indication, the Lender Party (and any other Lender Parties related thereto) shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice, communication or information do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Borrower, any Credit Party or any of their respective subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of their respective property, assets, securities or businesses. No Lender Party shall have any duty of trust or confidence with respect to, or any obligation not to trade in any securities on the basis of, any material nonpublic information regarding the Borrower, any Credit Party or any of their respective subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of their respective property, assets, securities or businesses provided by, or on behalf of, the Borrower, any Credit Party, any of their respective subsidiaries, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, representatives or agents, in violation of any of the covenants set forth in this Subsection 6.14(b) or that is otherwise possessed (or continued to be possessed) by any Lender Party as a result of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in this Subsection 6.14(b).
Section 6.15 Credit Analysis. Each Lender shall be responsible for keeping itself informed of (a) the financial condition of the Borrower and all other Credit Parties and (b) all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations hereunder, and have made and shall continue to make, independently and without reliance upon each other, its own credit analysis and decision in entering into the documents to which it is a party and taking or not taking any action thereunder. None of the Lenders shall have any duty to advise any other Lender of information known to it regarding such condition or any such other circumstances, and no disclosure of any such information shall create any obligation to provide any further information to be deemed to constitute or require any representation or warranty from the disclosing Lender regarding that or any other information. No Lender assumes any liability to any other Person with respect to: (i) the financial or other condition of the Borrower and all other Credit Parties, (ii) the enforceability, validity, value or collectability of the Loans, any collateral therefor or any guarantee or security which may have been granted in connection with any of the Obligations hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, (iii) any Credit Partys title or right to transfer any collateral or security or (iv) any other circumstance that might bear on the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations.
45
Section 6.16 Sharing of Payments.
If any Lender, directly or through any of its Affiliates, obtains any payment of interest or principal on any of its Loans (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or proceeds (as defined under the UCC (as defined in the Guaranty and Security Agreement)) of Collateral) (and other than pursuant to Section 6.5) and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such participations in their Loans as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Lenders to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been applied in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender without interest and (ii) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the applicable Credit Party in the amount of such participation.
Section 6.17 Collateral Agent.
(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints the DPDF Lender (together with any successor collateral agent appointed by DPDF Lender or any successor collateral agent that was appointed by the Required Lenders), as Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and authorizes Collateral Agent to (i) act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral (as defined in the Guaranty and Security Agreement) granted by any of the Credit Parties to secure any of the Obligations, (ii) execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and accept delivery thereof on its behalf from any Credit Party, (iii) take such other actions on its behalf and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies and perform the duties as are expressly delegated to Collateral Agent under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation, file any financing statements in a representative capacity, and (iv) exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein or therein; nor shall Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or otherwise exist against Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term collateral agent or agent herein and in other Transaction Documents with reference to Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. The provisions of this Section 6.17 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders and none of the Borrower or the other Credit Parties shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Section 6.17, except with respect to the Borrowers consultation rights in connection with the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent as set forth in Section 6.17(h) hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement and the other Transaction
46
Documents, Collateral Agent shall act solely as collateral agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower or any other Credit Party. Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Transaction Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not Collateral Agent, and Collateral Agent and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in and generally engage in any kind of business with each Credit Party, Affiliate of any Credit Party as if it were not Collateral Agent hereunder.
(b) Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by or through agents, subagents, employees or attorneys in fact, and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties and any Person shall benefit from this Section 6.17. Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, subagent or attorney in fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Neither Collateral Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, attorneys, advisors, representatives or agents shall (i) be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Credit Party or Affiliate of any Credit Party, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of any Credit Party or any other party to any Transaction Document to perform its obligations (including the Obligations) hereunder or thereunder. Collateral 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 Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Credit Party or any Credit Partys Affiliates.
(d) Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication 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 Credit Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by Collateral Agent. Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Transaction Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify Collateral Agent
47
against any and all liabilities and expenses (including any fees and expenses of counsel to Collateral Agent) that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under any Transaction Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon each Lender.
(e) Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default, unless Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or any Credit Party referring to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, describing such Event of Default or Default and stating that such notice is a notice of default. Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Default as the Required Lenders may direct; provided that, unless and until Collateral Agent has received any such request, Collateral Agent shall not take any such action, or refrain from taking any such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default.
(f) Each Lender acknowledges that Collateral Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Collateral Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Collateral Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Collateral Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender represents to Collateral Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Collateral 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 the other Credit Parties, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Collateral 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 Transaction Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary or appropriate to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and the other Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein or in the Guaranty and Security Agreement required to be furnished to the Lenders by Collateral Agent, Collateral 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 Borrower or any other Credit Party that may come into the possession of Collateral Agent.
(g) Other than with respect to the matters described in clause (i) below, which shall be governed by such clause, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall severally indemnify upon demand Collateral Agent and its directors, officers, partners, employees, attorneys, advisors, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Credit Party and without limiting the
48
obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), according to its Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all losses, claims (including the reasonable attorneys fees incurred in defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties or other expenses arising out of, or relating to, any of Collateral Agents duties, responsibilities or actions set forth in or that taken pursuant to the Transaction Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the foregoing to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the applicable Persons gross negligence or willful misconduct. No action taken (or in refraining from having taken action) in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 6.17(g). Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Collateral Agent upon demand for such Lenders ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses incurred by Collateral 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 Transaction Document or any document contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, to the extent that Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such fees, costs and expenses by or on behalf of the Credit Parties. The undertaking in this Section 6.17(g) shall survive repayment of the Loans and the other Obligations, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Transaction Documents, termination of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and the resignation or replacement of Collateral Agent.
(h) Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent upon thirty (30) days notice to the Lenders and Borrower, and the Required Lenders have the right, at their sole election, to remove the Person serving as Collateral Agent upon ten (10) days notice to Collateral Agent (or immediately upon any material breach of Collateral Agent of its obligations under the Transaction Documents). If Collateral Agent resigns under this Agreement or the Required Lenders remove the Person serving as Collateral Agent, the Required Lenders (in consultation with the Borrower) shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Collateral Agent for such successor Collateral Agent and the Lenders. If no successor Collateral Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation or removal of Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor Collateral Agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Collateral Agent hereunder, such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent, and the term Collateral Agent shall mean such successor Collateral Agent, and the retiring or removed Collateral Agents appointment, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be immediately and automatically terminated at such time. After any retiring Collateral Agents resignation or removal hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section 6.17 shall inure to its benefit (in its capacity as Collateral Agent) as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If no successor Collateral Agent has accepted appointment as Collateral Agent by the date that is thirty (30) days following a retiring Collateral Agents notice of resignation (or at the time of removal of a Person as Collateral Agent), the retiring Collateral Agents resignation or removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Required Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided for above.
49
(i) Each Lender further agrees to indemnify Collateral Agent, its Affiliates and each of its and their employees, advisors, attorneys, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by any Credit Party), severally and ratably, from and against Liabilities (including Taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Collateral Agent, its Affiliates or any of its or their employees, advisors, attorneys, representatives or agents in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Transaction Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by Collateral Agent, its Affiliates or any of its or their employees, advisors, attorneys, representatives or agents under or with respect to any of the foregoing.
(j) Notwithstanding any provision in any Transaction Document to the contrary, the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Collateral Agent, based upon the written instruction of the Required Lenders, to (a) credit bid and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Credit Party is subject, or (b) credit bid and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) Collateral Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with Applicable Law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Lenders shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not unduly delay the ability of Collateral Agent to credit bid and purchase at such sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such claims cannot be estimated without unduly delaying the ability of Collateral Agent to credit bid, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the asset or assets purchased by means of such credit bid) and the Lenders whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the asset or assets so purchased (or in the stock of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such purchase). Except as provided above and otherwise expressly provided for herein or in the other Transaction Documents, Collateral Agent will not execute nor deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral. Upon request by Collateral Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Collateral Agents authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Section 6.17(j). Each Lender whose Obligations are credit bid under this Section 6.17(j) shall be entitled to receive interests in the Collateral or any other asset acquired in connection with such credit bid (or in the stock of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are used to consummate such acquisition) on a ratable basis in accordance with the percentage obtained by dividing (y) the amount of Obligations of such Lender that were credit bid in such credit bid by (z) the aggregate amount of all Obligations that were credit bid in such credit bid.

Section 6.18 Cost and Expense Reimbursement. The Credit Parties agree to pay within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of an invoice therefor, (a) all reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses of the Lenders, including one counsel for the Required Lenders selected by the Required Lenders, in connection with the administration of the Facility Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the negotiation, preparation, execution and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications thereto and any other documents or matters requested by the Borrower or any other Credit Party related thereto, (b) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent or the Lenders, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements and other charges of one primary firm of counsel for the Collateral Agent and the Lenders, taken as a whole, (and if reasonably necessary (as determined by the Collateral Agent in consultation with the Borrower)), of a single local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction and, in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest where the Collateral Agent or any Lender affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of another primary firm of counsel for such affected person in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including its rights under this Section 6.18, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans and (c) the cost of purchasing insurance that the Credit Parties fail to obtain as required by the Transaction Documents. The obligations and provisions contained in this Section 6.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations.
