Section 1.02. Accounting Terms and Principles
All accounting determinations required to be made pursuant hereto shall, unless expressly otherwise provided herein, be made substantially in accordance with GAAP. If, after the date hereof, any change occurs in GAAP or in the application thereof and such change would cause any amount required to be determined for the purposes of the covenants to be maintained or calculated pursuant to Section 8 or 9 to be materially different than the amount that would be determined prior to such change, then Borrower will provide a detailed notice of such change (an Accounting Change Notice) to the Lenders in conjunction with the next required delivery of financial statements pursuant to Section 8.01. If Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any Accounting Change occurring after the Closing Date or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision, regardless of whether any Accounting Change Notice is given before or after such Accounting Change or in the application thereof, then the Lenders and Borrower agree that they will negotiate in good faith amendments to the provisions of this Agreement that are directly affected by such Accounting Change with the intent of having the respective positions of the Lenders and Borrower after such Accounting Change conform as nearly as possible to their respective positions as of the date of this Agreement and, until any such amendments have been agreed upon, (i) the provisions in this Agreement shall be calculated as if no such Accounting Change had occurred and (ii) Borrower shall provide to the Lenders a written reconciliation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders, between calculations of any baskets and other requirements hereunder before and after giving effect to such Accounting Change.
All components of financial calculations made to determine compliance with this Agreement shall be adjusted to include or exclude, as the case may be, without duplication, such components of such calculations attributable to any Acquisition or other investment consummated after the first day of the applicable period of determination and prior to the end of such period, as determined in good faith by Borrower based on assumptions expressed therein and that were reasonable based on the information available to Borrower at the time of preparation of the Compliance Certificate setting forth such calculations.
Section 1.03. Interpretation
For all purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or unless the context otherwise requires, (a) the terms defined in this Agreement include the plural as well as the singular and vice versa; (b) words importing gender include all genders; (c) any reference to a Section, Annex, Schedule or Exhibit refers to a Section of, or Annex, Schedule or Exhibit to, this Agreement; (d) any reference to this Agreement refers to this Agreement, including all Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits hereto, and the words herein, hereof, hereto and hereunder and words of similar import refer to this Agreement and its Annexes, Schedules and Exhibits as a whole and not to any particular Section, Annex, Schedule, Exhibit or any other subdivision; (e) references to days, months and years refer to calendar days, months and years, respectively; (f) all references herein to include or including shall be deemed to be followed by the words without limitation; (g) the word from when used in connection with a period of time means from and including and the word until means to but not including; and (h) accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed substantially in accordance with GAAP (except for the term property, which shall be
-23-
interpreted as broadly as possible, including, in any case, cash, securities, other assets, rights under contractual obligations and permits and any right or interest in any property, except where otherwise noted). Whenever any provision in any Loan Document refers to the knowledge (or an analogous phrase) of any Obligor, such words are intended to signify that such Obligor has actual knowledge or awareness of a particular fact or circumstance or that such Obligor, if it had exercised reasonable diligence, would have known or been aware of such fact or circumstance. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, references to organizational documents, agreements (including the Loan Documents) and other contractual instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements, amendments and restatements, extensions, supplements and other modifications thereto permitted by the Loan Documents.
If any date of compliance with the terms and conditions of any Loan Document falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the immediately following Business Day. For purposes of determining compliance with any covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein, Indebtedness of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries should be deemed to be equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof at the time of determination thereof, or with respect to any Hedging Agreements, the amount that would be payable if the agreement governing any such Hedging Agreements were terminated on the date of termination. For purposes of calculations made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise for purposes of compliance herewith, GAAP will be deemed to treat operating leases and Capital Lease Obligations in a manner consistent with their current treatment under generally accepted accounting principles as in effect on the Closing Date, notwithstanding any modifications or interpretive changes thereto that may occur thereafter.

PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST
Section 3.01. Repayment
The entire outstanding principal amount of the Loans will be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Commencing with the first Payment Date occurring immediately after the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower shall on each Payment Date make a repayment of the Loans in the amount of $200,000; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no payment of the principal amount of the Loans shall be due prior to such commencement date (other than as set forth in Section 3.03).
Section 3.02. Interest.
(a) Interest Generally. Borrower agrees to pay to the Lenders interest in cash on the outstanding principal amount of the Loans for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) LIBOR plus (ii) the Applicable Margin.
(b) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Applicable Margin shall increase automatically by 4.00% per annum (such aggregate increased rate, the Default Rate). If any Obligation (other than Warrant Obligations) is not paid when due (giving effect to any applicable grace or cure period) under the applicable Loan Document, the amount thereof shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the Default Rate.
(c) Payment Dates. Accrued interest on the Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date with respect to the most recently completed Interest Period in cash, and upon the payment or prepayment of the Loans (on the principal amount being so paid or prepaid); provided that interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand by the Lender.
-26-
(d) Maximum Legal Rate. No agreements, conditions, provisions or stipulations contained in this Agreement or any other instrument, document or agreement between the Obligors and any Lender or default of the Obligors, or the exercise by any Lender of the right to accelerate the payment of the maturity of principal and interest, or to exercise any option whatsoever contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the arising of any contingency whatsoever, shall entitle any Lender to contract for, charge, or receive, in any event, consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money (interest) at a rate exceeding the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable state or federal law in effect from time to time (hereinafter Maximum Legal Rate). In no event shall the Obligors be obligated to pay interest at any rate exceeding such Maximum Legal Rate and all agreements, conditions or stipulations, if any, which may in any event or contingency whatsoever operate to bind, obligate or compel the Obligors to pay a rate of interest exceeding the Maximum Legal Rate, shall be without binding force or effect, at law or in equity, to the extent only of the excess of interest determined at a rate over such Maximum Legal Rate. In the event any interest is contracted for, charged or received at any rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate (Excess), each Obligor acknowledges and stipulates that any such contract, charge, or receipt shall be the result of an accident and bona fide error, and that any Excess received by any Lender shall be applied, first, to reduce the principal then unpaid hereunder; second, to reduce the other Obligations; and third, returned to the Obligors, it being the intention of the parties hereto not to enter at any time into a usurious or otherwise illegal relationship. Each Obligor recognizes that, with fluctuations in LIBOR and the Maximum Legal Rate, such a result could inadvertently occur. By the execution of this Agreement, each Obligor covenants that (i) the credit or return of any Excess shall constitute the acceptance by such Obligor of such Excess, and (ii) such Obligor shall not seek or pursue any other remedy, legal or equitable, against any Lender, based in whole or in part upon the contracting for, charging or receiving of any interest in excess of the maximum authorized or the receiving of any interest in excess of the maximum authorized by applicable law. To the extent applicable, for the purpose of determining whether or not any Excess has been contracted for, charged or received by any Lender, all interest at any time contracted for, charged or received by any Lender in connection with this Agreement shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread in equal parts during the full stated term of this Agreement and otherwise as provided by applicable Law. If, as a result of any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any related agreement, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by applicable usury law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity.
Section 3.03. Prepayments.
(a) Optional Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right to optionally prepay in whole or in part (in a minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount for each partial prepayment) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans on any Business Day (a Redemption Date) for an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium plus any accrued but unpaid interest on the aggregate principal amount of the Loans being prepaid (such aggregate amount, the Redemption Price). The applicable Prepayment Premium shall be an amount calculated pursuant to Section 3.03(a).
-27-
If the Redemption Date occurs:
(A) on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be an amount equal to one hundred four percent (104%) of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans being prepaid on such Redemption Date;
(B) after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be an amount equal to one hundred two percent (102%) of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans being prepaid on such Redemption Date;
(C) after the second anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be an amount equal to one hundred one and one-half percent (101.5%) of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans being prepaid on such Redemption Date; and
(D) after the third anniversary of the Closing Date and at any time thereafter, the Prepayment Premium shall be an amount equal to one hundred one percent (101%) of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans being prepaid on such Redemption Date.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments. Borrower shall prepay the Loans in amounts as provided below, plus solely in respect of any event specified in clauses (b)(ii) and (b)(iii) below, the Prepayment Premium on the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans being prepaid (calculated in accordance with Section 3.03(a), it being agreed that the relevant payment date shall be deemed to be the Redemption Date for purposes of such calculation), plus any accrued but unpaid interest and fees then due and owing, as follows:
(i) Within three (3) days following receipt by any Obligor of the proceeds of any Casualty Event, an amount equal to 100% of the net cash insurance or other proceeds received by Borrower with respect thereto; provided, however, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, within two hundred and seventy (270) days (with such reinvestment to be subject to a binding commitment within at least one hundred and eighty (180) days) after receipt of such proceeds, Borrower may apply such net proceeds toward the replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property; provided, further, that any such replaced or repaired property (i) shall be of equal or like value as the replaced or repaired Collateral and (ii) to the extent any property so replaced or repaired was subject to a first priority security interest in favor of the Lenders at the time of the damage thereto or the destruction thereof shall be deemed Collateral in which Lenders have been granted a first priority security interest and Borrower shall take all such actions required to provide the Lenders with a first priority security interest on such property.
-28-
(ii) In the event Borrower incurs Indebtedness other than Indebtedness that is permitted by Section 9.01 hereof, 100% of the net cash proceeds thereof received by Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 3.03(b)(ii) shall not be deemed to be a consent to any such incurrence of Indebtedness or a cure or waiver of any Event of Default which occurs in connection therewith, it being understood that any such Event of Default may only be waived with the express consent of the Majority Lenders.
(iii) Within three (3) days following receipt by any Obligor of the net cash proceeds of any Asset Sale (excluding any Asset Sale permitted pursuant to Section 9.09 (other than pursuant to Section 9.09(l)), an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds received by Borrower with respect thereto; provided, however, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, within two hundred and seventy (270) days (with such investment to be subject to a binding commitment within at least one hundred and eighty (180) days) after receipt of such proceeds, Borrower may invest such net cash proceeds in assets of the general type used in the business of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries; provided, further, that to the extent any Property subject to such Asset Sale was subject to a first priority security interest in favor of the Lenders at the time of disposition shall be deemed Collateral in which Lenders have been granted a first priority security interest and Borrower shall take all such actions required to provide the Lenders with a first priority security interest on such property. For the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 3.03(b)(iii) shall not be deemed to be a consent to any such Asset Sale or a cure or waiver of any Event of Default which occurs in connection therewith, it being understood that any such Event of Default may only be waived with the express consent of the Majority Lenders.
All prepayments made pursuant to this Section 3.03(b) shall be applied pursuant to Section 4.01(b)(ii).

(A) first, to the payment of any unpaid costs and expenses referred to in Section 13.03(a) that are then due and payable;

YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.
Section 5.01. Additional Costs.
(a) Change in Requirements of Law Generally. If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any court or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender (or its lending office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, contribution, insurance assessment or similar requirement, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, a Lender (or its lending office) or shall impose on a Lender (or its lending office) any other condition affecting the Loans or the Commitment, not as a result of any action or inaction on the part of such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, by an amount reasonably deemed by such Lender in good faith to be
-31-
material (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes and (ii) Excluded Taxes), then Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender on demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to constitute a change in Requirements of Law for all purposes of this Section 5.01, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

(c) Notification by Lender. The Lenders will promptly notify Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle a Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01. Before giving any such notice pursuant to this Section 5.01(c) such Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation (x) will, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and (y) will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

Section 5.02. Illegality
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that on or after the date hereof the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any competent Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful for a Lender or its lending office to make or maintain the Loans (and, in the opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different lending office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof following which (a) the Lenders Commitment shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain the Loans hereunder and (b) if such Requirement of Law shall so mandate, the Loans shall be prepaid, without Prepayment Premium, by Borrower on or before such date as shall be mandated by such Requirement of Law in an amount equal to the Redemption Price applicable on the date of such prepayment in accordance with Section 3.03(a).

Section 5.03. Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments on account of any Obligation shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by an Obligor, then such Obligor shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. For purposes of this Section, the term applicable Law includes FATCA.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of each Lender, timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority, as a withholding Tax pursuant to this Section 5.03, Borrower shall deliver to each Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, or a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Status of Lenders.
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times reasonably requested by 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; provided that, other than in the case of U.S. Federal withholding Taxes, such Lender has received written notice from Borrower advising it of the availability of such exemption or
-33-
reduction and containing all applicable documentation. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver 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. 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 5.03(e)(ii)(A), (B) or (D)) 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.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), duly completed, valid, executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding Tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, duly completed, valid executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the interest article of such Tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, duly completed, valid, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form) or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the business profits or other income article of such Tax treaty;

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, duly completed, valid, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form), IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, IRS Form W-9 (or successor form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the written request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.03(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.03(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 5.03(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g) Mitigation Obligations. If Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.01 or this Section 5.03, then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if, in the sole reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation would (i) eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or this Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (iii) not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.
(h) Allocation of Issue Price. The Notes and the Warrant Certificates, taken together, constitute an investment unit for purposes of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code.

2. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, which may be a third-party transfer agent (the Warrant Register), in the name of the record Holder (which shall include the initial Holder or, as the case may be, any registered assignee to which this Warrant is permissibly assigned hereunder) from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
3. Registration of Transfers. Subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws, the Company shall register the transfer of all or any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached as Schedule 2 hereto duly completed and signed, to the Companys transfer agent or to the Company at its address specified on the signature pages hereto and (x) delivery, at the request of the Company, of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the transfer of such portion of this Warrant may be made pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable state securities or blue sky laws (provided that such opinion shall not be required in connection with any transfer (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) to the Company, (iii) pursuant to Rule 144 (provided that such Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances (in the form of seller and, if applicable, broker representation letters) that the securities may be sold pursuant to such rule) (iv) in connection with a bona fide pledge or (v) to an Affiliate of the Holder) and (y) delivery by the transferee of a written statement to the Company certifying that the transferee is an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and making the representations and certifications set forth in Section 4(c) of this Warrant, to the Company at its address specified on the signature pages hereto.

Exhibit G-2

The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations in respect of the New Warrant that the Holder has in respect of this Warrant. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense any New Warrant under this Section 3.
4. Exercise and Duration of Warrant.
(a) All or any part of this Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder in the manner permitted by Section 10 at any time and from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date and through and including 5:30 p.m. New York City time, on the Expiration Date.
(b) The Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached as Schedule 1 hereto (the Exercise Notice), completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised, and the date on which the Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an Exercise Date. The delivery by (or on behalf of) the Holder of the Exercise Notice and the applicable Exercise Price as provided above shall constitute the Holders certification to the Company that its representations contained in Section 4(c) are true and correct as of the Exercise Date and the date on which Holder pays the Company the Exercise Price as if remade in their entirety (or, in the case of any transferee Holder that is not a party to this Warrant, such transferee Holders certification to the Company that such representations are true and correct as to such assignee Holder as of the Exercise Date). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder, but if it is not so delivered then such exercise shall constitute an agreement by the Holder to deliver the original Warrant to the Company as soon as practicable thereafter. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
(c) The Holder represents and warrants to the Company that, as of the Original Issue Date:
(i) No Conflict, Breach, Violation or Default. The execution, delivery and performance of this Warrant by the Holder will not (A) conflict with or result in a material breach or material violation of (1) any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a material default under, its organizational documents, as in effect as of the Original Issue Date, or (2) any Law or Order of any governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, in each case having jurisdiction over the Holder or any of its assets or properties, or (B) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, result in the creation of any lien, encumbrance or other adverse claim upon any of the properties or assets of the Holder or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any material agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Holder is a party; except in the case of clauses (A)(2) and (B) such as would not have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Holder to perform its obligations hereunder.
Exhibit G-3
(ii) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Warrant Shares to be received by the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant will be acquired for the Holders own account, not as nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act, and the Holder has no present agreement, understanding or intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act without prejudice, subject, however, to the Holders right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Warrant Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities Laws.
(iii) Investment Experience. The Holder acknowledges that it can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in this Warrant and the Warrant Shares and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby.
(iv) Disclosure of Information. The Holder has had an opportunity to review all information related to the Company requested by it and to ask questions of and receive answers from the Company regarding the Company, its business and the terms and conditions of the offering of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares. The Holder acknowledges that copies of the SEC Filings have been made available to it, including, without limitation, copies of the definitive proxy statement filed by the Company on June 30, 2017. The Holder has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed decision with respect to its acquisition of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares.
(v) Investor Status. At the time the Holder was offered this Warrant, it was, and on the Original Issue Date it is, and on the date on which it exercises this Warrant it will be, an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
(vi) Reliance on Exemptions. The Holder understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of federal and state securities Laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Holders compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Holder set forth in this Warrant in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Holder to acquire this Warrant and the Warrant Shares.
5. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
(a) Upon exercise of this Warrant and delivery of the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than three Trading Days after the later of the Exercise Date and delivery of the Exercise Price) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate (provided that, if the Holder directs the Company to deliver a certificate for the Warrant Shares in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate of the Holder, if reasonably requested by
Exhibit G-4
the Company it shall deliver to the Company on the Exercise Date an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the issuance of such Warrant Shares in such other name may be made pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all applicable state securities or blue sky laws), (i) a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends, or (ii) an electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares to the Holders account at the Depository Trust Company (DTC) or a similar organization, unless in the case of clause (i) and (ii) a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective or the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without restriction under Rule 144 by Holders who are not affiliates of the Company, in which case such Holder shall receive a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise with appropriate restrictive legends. The Holder, or any Person permissibly so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Holder fails to deliver the documents required to register a transferee as set forth in Section 3 or to provide the documents required under this Section 5(a) to issue a certificate or electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares to any Person(s) other than the Holder, then determination of the three Trading Days shall be tolled until such documents have been delivered to the Company. If the Warrant Shares are to be issued free of all restrictive legends, the Company shall, upon the written request of the Holder, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver, or cause to be delivered, Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through DTC or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available; provided, that, the Company may, but will not be required to, change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through such a clearing corporation. Trading Day means any day on which the Common Stock are traded on the Principal Market, or, if the Principal Market is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock, then on the principal securities exchange or securities market on which the Common Stock is then traded; provided that Trading Day shall not include any day on which the Common Stock is scheduled to trade on such exchange or market for less than 4.5 hours or any day that the Common Stock are suspended from trading during the final hour of trading on such exchange or market (or if such exchange or market does not designate in advance the closing time of trading on such exchange or market, then during the hour ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York time).
(b) If by the close of the third Trading Day after delivery of a properly completed Exercise Notice and the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price in the manner permitted by Section 10, the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate representing the required number of Warrant Shares or such Warrant Shares in electronic form in the manner required pursuant to Section 5(a), and if after such third Trading Day and prior to the receipt of such Warrant Shares, the Holder is required to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a Buy-In), then the Company shall, in its sole discretion, within three Trading Days after the Holders request for payment, either (1) pay in cash to the Holder an amount equal to the Holders total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased, at which point the number of Warrant Shares underlying this Warrant equal to the number of shares of Common Stock so purchased shall be forfeited and the Companys obligation to deliver such certificate
Exhibit G-5
(and to issue such Warrant Shares in certificate or electronic form) shall terminate or (2) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Warrant Shares or such Warrant Shares in electronic form and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of Holders total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased in the Buy-In over the product of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock purchased in the Buy-In, multiplied by (B) the closing bid price of a share of Common Stock on the Exercise Date. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company.
(c) To the extent permitted by law, the Companys obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with and subject to the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company (other than breaches related to this Warrant or the Credit Agreement) or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance that might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit the Holders right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Companys failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
6. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates or electronic form for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or this Warrant in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction (in such case) and, in each case, a customary and reasonable indemnity and surety bond, if requested by the Company. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Companys obligation to issue the New Warrant.
Exhibit G-6
8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company represents and warrants that on the date hereof, it has duly authorized and reserved, and covenants that it will at all times during the period this Warrant is outstanding reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares that are initially issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the original issuance thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue). The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company represents and warrants that the Warrant Shares, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, will be issued free and clear of all security interests, claims, liens and other encumbrances other than restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws. The Company will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such event by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such effective date immediately before giving effect to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 9(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 9(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification.
Exhibit G-7
(b) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock for no consideration (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a)) or (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset, including cash (in each case, Distributed Property), except for any distributions pursuant to a shareholders rights plan or similar takeover defense agreement or plan adopted by the Company, then, upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Warrant Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such record date.
(c) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) the Company effects (A) any merger of the Company with (but not into) another Person, in which stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transaction own less than a majority of the outstanding stock of the surviving entity, or (B) any merger or consolidation of the Company into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer approved or authorized by the Companys Board of Directors is completed pursuant to which holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Common Stock tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a)) (in any such case, a Fundamental Transaction), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein (the Alternate Consideration), and the Holder shall no longer have the right to receive Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company shall not effect any such Fundamental Transaction unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or Person shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder, such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to receive, and the other obligations under this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 9(c) shall similarly apply to subsequent transactions of an analogous type to any Fundamental Transaction.
(d) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to Section 9(a), the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
Exhibit G-8
(e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest share, as applicable.
(f) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment, in good faith, in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Companys transfer agent.
(g) Notice of Corporate Events. If, while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including, without limitation, any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, except if such notice and the contents thereof shall be deemed to constitute material non-public information, the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice of such transaction at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
10. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds.
11. Limitations on Exercise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the number of Warrant Shares that may be acquired by the Holder upon any exercise of this Warrant (or otherwise in respect hereof) shall be limited to the extent necessary to ensure that, following such exercise (or other issuance), the total number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holders for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, does not exceed 9.99% of the total number of then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (including for such purpose the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise). For such purposes, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to such Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and such Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 11 applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and of which a portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holders determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder) and of which portion of this
Exhibit G-9
Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 11, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Companys most recent Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall within three Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. This provision shall not restrict the number of shares of Common Stock which a Holder may receive or beneficially own in order to determine the amount of securities or other consideration that such Holder may receive in the event of a Fundamental Transaction as contemplated in Section 9.
12. No Fractional Shares. No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the next whole number and the Company shall pay the Holder in cash the fair market value (based on the Closing Bid Price) for any such fractional shares.
13. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email address specified on the signature pages hereto prior to 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number or via email at the email address specified on the signature pages hereto on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m., New York City time, on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service specifying next business day delivery, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the Person to whom such notice is required to be given, if by hand delivery. The mailing address, email address and facsimile number of a Person for such notices or communications shall be as set forth on the signature pages hereto unless changed by such Person by two Trading Days prior notice to the other Person(s) in accordance with this Section 13.
14. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 15 days notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holders last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
(iii) Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
Exhibit G-11
(c) No Impairment. Except to the extent as may be waived by the holder of this Warrant, the Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through a Fundamental Transaction, dissolution, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment.
(d) Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Warrant and compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant may be assigned by the Holder. This Warrant may not be assigned by the Company without the written consent of the Holder except to a successor in the event of a Fundamental Transaction. This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the Company and the Holder and their respective successors and assigns. Subject to the preceding sentence, nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to give to any Person other than the Company and the Holder any legal or equitable right, remedy or cause of action under this Warrant.
