The Company will not, and will not permit its Affiliates to, make any offer or sale of securities of any class if, as a result of the doctrine of “integration” referred to in Rule 502, such offer or sale would render invalid, for the purpose of (i) the sale of the Notes by the Company to the Purchasers or (ii) the resale of Notes, as the case may be, by the Purchasers to Subsequent Purchasers or (iii) the resale of Notes by any such Subsequent Purchaser to others any applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) thereof or by Rule 144A thereunder or otherwise.

SECTION 9.

9.1. Expenses.

The Company will (whether or not the Closing occurs) reimburse the Purchasers for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements of one firm of outside counsel and any local counsel, if necessary) incurred by the Purchasers in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Financing Documents and in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Financing Documents (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in enforcing, defending or declaring (or determining whether or how to enforce, defend or declare) any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement, or the other Financing Documents, including in connection with any insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby, by the Financing Documents or by the Notes. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, (x) the Company’s obligation to reimburse the Purchasers for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Purchasers in connection with due diligence, the negotiation and preparation of the Transaction Documents and undertaking of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents incurred (1) prior to the date hereof shall be deemed satisfied in full upon the payment by Holdco of the fees and expenses to the Investors pursuant to the Equity Purchase Agreement and (2) from the date hereof through the earlier of the Closing Date or the Termination Date shall not exceed the limit set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement; and (y) in the event the Closing does not occur, the Company’s obligations under this Section 9.1 for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Purchasers after the date hereof but prior to the Termination Date shall not exceed the limit set forth in the Equity Purchase Agreement.

9.2. Indemnification.

The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers and each of their respective Affiliates, partners, stockholders, members, officers, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (each. an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all actual losses, claims, damages or liabilities to any such Indemnitee in connection with or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of any Financing Document or the performance by the parties to the Financing Documents of their respective obligations hereunder and thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) the issuance of Notes or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any liability with respect to Environmental Claims or (iv) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding

relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity will not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages or liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

9.3. Waiver of Punitive Damages.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, none of the parties hereto shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against the other parties (including their respective Affiliates, partners, stockholders, members, officers, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons), on any theory of liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the Transactions, this Agreement, the other Financing Documents, the Notes or the use of proceeds thereof.

9.4. Survival.

The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 will survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement.

9.5. Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments.

Any indemnification payment pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

The rights and remedies provided herein and in the Notes are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the parties or Purchasers would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle the Company to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the other parties hereto or the Purchasers to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

Subject to the second sentence of this Section 10.4, this Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with the written consent of the Company, provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver may, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes held by the Purchasers, as applicable, amend or waive the provisions of which the Purchasers are beneficiaries. No

amendment or waiver of this Agreement will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant or agreement not expressly amended or waived or thereby impair any right consequent thereon.

This Section 10.6 shall not prohibit the Company, any other party hereto or any Purchaser from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

10.12. Construction.

Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant.

Each Purchaser agrees that in the event it intends to disclose confidential information in accordance with clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, it shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, provide the Company notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or confidential treatment of the information being disclosed.

(b) For the purposes set forth in Section 10.14(a), the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that each Purchaser may share with any of its Affiliates, and such Affiliates may share with such Purchaser any information related to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, any nonpublic information regarding the creditworthiness of the Company and its Subsidiaries); provided such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 10.14 to the same extent as such Purchaser.

10.17. Patriot Act.

The Purchasers hereby notify the Company that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.
