2. EAGLE LOAN FACILITY AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

 

2.1 Promise to Pay. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, the outstanding principal amount of all Loans, accrued and unpaid interest (including, without limitation, any Deferred Interest Amount), fees and charges thereon and all other amounts owing hereunder as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

 

2.2 Availability and Repayment of the Loans.

 

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make to Borrowers an EAGLE Loan on or about the Closing Date in principal amount equal to its EAGLE Loan Commitment.

Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the EAGLE Loans (i) to repay existing outstanding Indebtedness of Borrower Representative owing to ORIX Growth Capital, LLC and MidCap Financial Trust, and (ii) for working capital. Once repaid, the EAGLE Loans may not be reborrowed.

 

(b) Repayment. Commencing on the Amortization Date, and continuing thereafter on each Payment Date, Borrowers shall make consecutive monthly payments of equal principal, which would fully amortize the principal amount of the EAGLE Loans by the Maturity Date, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including, without limitation, any Deferred Interest Amount), provided that if the Amortization Date or the Maturity Date are extended, in accordance with their respective terms, the monthly payments shall be recalculated according to the remaining number of Payment Dates through the Maturity Date, as extended. Any and all unpaid Obligations, including principal and accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the EAGLE Loans (including any Deferred Interest Amount), the Final Payment, other fees and other sums, if any, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. The EAGLE Loans may only be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.2(c) or (d).

 

 

 

 

(c) Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration. If the Loans are accelerated following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall immediately pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, an amount equal to the sum of:

 

(i) all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, without limitation, any Deferred Interest Amount), plus

 

(ii) the Prepayment Fee, plus

 

(iii) the Final Payment, plus

 

(iv) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable.

 

(d) Permitted Prepayment of Loans.

 

(i) Prepayment in Full. Borrowers may prepay all, but not less than all, of the Loans, provided Borrower Representative provides written notice to Agent (whereupon Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such written notice to Lenders) of its election to prepay the Loans at least 30 days prior to such prepayment, and pay, on the date of such prepayment, to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, an amount equal to the sum of:

 

(1) all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, without limitation, any Deferred Interest Amount), plus

 

(2) the Prepayment Fee, plus

 

(3) the Final Payment, plus

 

(4) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable.

 

(ii) Partial Prepayment upon SPAC Transaction. In addition, Borrowers shall make a one-time prepayment on or about the date the SPAC Transaction is consummated, upon ten Business Days prior written notice prior to such prepayment, by paying:

 

(1) outstanding original principal up to $7,000,000, plus additional principal arising due to interest at the Deferred Interest Rate accrued to principal through the date of such prepayment, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus

 

(2) the Prepayment Fee on the principal amount prepaid, plus

 

(3) the Final Payment, plus

 

(4) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable.

 

2.3 Payment of Interest.

 

(a) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall accrue interest from and after its Funding Date, at the Applicable Rate, and Borrowers shall pay such interest monthly in arrears on each Payment Date commencing on August 15, 2020. In addition, the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall accrue interest from and after its Funding Date at the Deferred Interest Rate, and such interest shall be added to outstanding principal on each Payment Date following such Funding Date. All references to outstanding principal herein shall refer to the original principal amount as increased from time to time on account of interest at the Deferred Interest Rate added to principal.

 

(b) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the Agent’s election, the Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percentage points (5.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrowers pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Secured Party Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Agent or Lenders.

(c) Payment; Interest Computation. Interest is payable monthly in arrears on the Payment Date of the following month and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest, (i) all payments received after 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on any day may, at Agent’s discretion, be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and (ii) the date of the making of any Loan shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded. Changes to the Applicable Rate based on changes to the applicable Reference Rate shall be effective as of the Payment Date immediately following such change.

 

(d) Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that a Borrower has actually paid to or for the benefit of Lenders an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrowers shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of principal outstanding in respect of the Loans; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of accrued interest, third, to the payment of Secured Party Expenses and any other Obligations; and fourth, after all Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrowers or paid to whomsoever may be legally entitled thereto, provided that amounts payable to Lenders, shall be paid ratably.

 

2.4 Fees and Charges. Borrowers shall pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders:

 

(a) Closing Fee. A closing fee in the amount of $352,500 due and payable on the Closing Date;

 

(b) Prepayment Fee. The Prepayment Fee as and when due pursuant to Sections 2.2(c) and 2.2(d). Each Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Fee is a reasonable calculation of Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Loans;

 

(c) Final Payment. The Final Payment as and when due pursuant to Sections 2.2(b), 2.2(c) and 2.2(d); and

 

(d) Secured Party Expenses. All Secured Party Expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) incurred through and after the Closing Date, when due (or, if no stated due date, within two Business Days after demand by Agent).

 

(e) Fees Fully Earned. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the fees and charges specified in clauses (a) through (c) above are fully-earned as of the Closing Date, and in no event shall any Borrower be entitled to any credit, rebate, refund, reduction, proration or repayment of any fees or charges earned by each Lender pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the suspension or termination of a Lender’s obligation to make loans and advances hereunder and notwithstanding the required payment date for such fees or charges. Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may debit and deduct amounts owing by Borrowers under the clauses of this Section 2.4 pursuant to the terms of Section 2.5(c).

 

2.5 Payments; Application of Payments; Automatic Payment Authorization.

 

(a) All payments to be made by Borrowers under any Loan Document, including payments of principal and interest and all fees, charges, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim, before 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time may, at Agent’s discretion, be considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.

 

2

 

 

(b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower Representative shall have the right to specify the Loan to which a Lender shall allocate or apply any payments made by a Borrower to or for the benefit of such Lender or otherwise received by such Lender under this Agreement unless any such allocation or application is expressly specified elsewhere in this Agreement, provided that payments shall be applied first to Secured Party Expenses due and payable, then to fees and charges then due and payable, then to accrued and unpaid interest, then to installments of principal in inverse order from maturity, then to any other Obligations due and payable.

 

(c) Unless otherwise notified by Agent in writing, Agent, for itself or for the ratable benefit of Lenders, as applicable, shall initiate debit entries to any Deposit Accounts as authorized on the Automatic Payment Authorization for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrowers owe Agent or Lenders when due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off. If the ACH payment arrangement is terminated for any reason, Borrowers shall make all payments due to Agent or Lenders at Agent’s address specified in Section 10, or as otherwise notified by Agent in writing, in each case, for the ratable benefit of Lenders. .

 

2.6 Taxes. For purposes of this Section, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA

 

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent 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 the applicable Loan Party 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 2.6(a)) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

(b) The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

(c) The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.6) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower Representative by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d) Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Loan Parties have not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.2(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this paragraph (d).

  

(e) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.6, Borrower Representative shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(f) 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 Representative and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Agent as will enable Borrower Representative or Agent 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 paragraphs (f)(ii)(2), (ii)(2) and (ii)(4) of this Section) shall not be required if in the Lender’s 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, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Person:

 

(i) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower Representative and Agent 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 Representative or Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

(ii) any Lender that is not a U.S. Person (a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower Representative and Agent (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 Representative or Agent), 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, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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;

 

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRC, (x) a certificate in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Borrower Representative and Agent to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to any of the Borrowers as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or

 

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (as applicable), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Borrower Representative and Agent, IRS Form W-9, 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 in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Borrower Representative and Agent on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.

 

(5) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower Representative and Agent (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 Representative or Agent), 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 Representative or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

 

4

 

 

(6) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal 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 IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower Representative and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Agent as may be necessary for Borrower Representative and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (5), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement; and

 

(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower Representative and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

(iv) On or before the date the Agent (including any successor Agent) becomes a party to this Agreement, the Agent shall provide to the Loan Parties, two (2) duly signed, properly completed copies of an IRS Form W-9 or any successor thereto. At any time thereafter, the Agent (including any successor Agent) shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto) when any documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid or otherwise upon the reasonable request of a Loan Party.

 

(g) 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 2.6 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.6), 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 request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (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 paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) 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 with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph 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.

 

(h) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.6 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

 

2.7 Promissory Notes. Borrowers agree that: (a) upon written notice by or on behalf of any Lender to Borrowers that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is requested by such Lender to evidence the Loans and other Obligations owing or payable to, or to be made by, such Lender, Borrowers shall promptly (and in any event within three Business Days of any such request) execute and deliver to such Lender an appropriate promissory note, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, and (b) upon any Lender’s written request, and in any event within three Business Days of any such request, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender new notes and/or divide the notes in exchange for then existing notes in such smaller amounts or denominations as such Lender shall specify in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of such new notes shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Loans made by such Lender; provided, further, that such promissory notes that are to be replaced shall then be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder and replaced by such new notes and returned to Borrowers within a reasonable period of time after such Lender’s receipt of the replacement notes. Regardless of whether or not any such promissory notes are issued, this Agreement shall evidence the Loans and other Obligations owing or payable by Borrowers to each Lender.

If this Agreement is terminated, Agent’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist) are repaid in full in cash.

 

7

 

 

4.2 Priority of Security Interest. Each Loan Party represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to have superior priority to Agent’s Lien under this Agreement). If a Loan Party shall acquire a commercial tort claim with a potential recovery in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), such Loan Party shall promptly notify Agent in writing and deliver such other information and documents as Agent may require to perfect Agent’s security interest in such commercial tort claim. If a Loan Party shall acquire a certificate with respect to Shares or any instrument, such Loan Party shall promptly notify Agent in writing and deliver the same together with a stock power or instrument of transfer and any necessary endorsement, all in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

 

4.3 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes Agent to file at any time financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Agent’s interest or rights hereunder. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral as all assets of such Loan Party.

9. AGENT’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

 

9.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, at its option, or upon election by Required Lenders, shall, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

 

(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Agent or any Lender);

 

(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for any Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement (and each Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed terminated as long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing);

 

(c) verify the amount of, demand payment of and performance under, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Agent considers advisable, and notify any Person owing a Loan Party money of Agent’s security interest in such funds;

 

(d) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral;

 

(e) ratably apply to the Obligations any amount held by Agent or any Lender owing to or for the credit or the account of a Loan Party;

 

(f) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral;

 

(g) deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Account Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

 

20

 

 

(h) demand and receive possession of any Loan Party’s Books; and

 

(i) exercise all rights and remedies available to Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

 

Loan Parties shall assemble the Collateral if Agent requests and make it available as Agent designates. Agent may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Each Loan Party grants Agent a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Agent’s rights or remedies. Agent is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, a Loan Party’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section, a Loan Party’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Agent’s benefit.

 

9.2 Power of Attorney. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Agent (and any of Agent’s partners, managers, officers, agents or employees) as its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify Account Debtors of Agent’s security interest and Liens in the Collateral; (b) endorse such Loan Party’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (c) sign such Loan Party’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to Account Debtors; (d) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Agent determines reasonable; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Loan Party’s insurance policies; (f) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (g) transfer the Collateral into the name of Agent or a third party as the Code permits; and (h) dispose of the Collateral. Each Loan Party further hereby appoints Agent (and any of Agent’s partners, managers, officers, agents or employees) as its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, regardless of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing to: (i) sign such Loan Party’s name on any documents and other Security Instruments necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of, or maintain the priority of, Agent’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) take all such actions which such Loan Party is required, but fails to do under the covenants and provisions of the Loan Documents; (iii) take any and all such actions as Agent may reasonably determine to be necessary or advisable for the purpose of maintaining, preserving or protecting the Collateral or any of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges of Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Agent’s foregoing appointment as each Loan Party’s attorney in fact, and all of Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist) have been fully repaid, in cash, and otherwise fully performed and all commitments to make Loans hereunder have been terminated.

 

9.3 Protective Payments. If a Loan Party fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which such Loan Party is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, Agent may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Agent are Secured Party Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Agent shall provide Borrower Representative with notice of Agent obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default.

 

9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent shall apply any payments made by any Loan Party or any proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or other exercise of secured party remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents, to the Obligations, as follows:

 

First, to that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including Secured Party Expenses incurred by Agent) due to Agent in its capacity as such, until paid in full;

 

21

 

 

Second, to all advances made by Agent or any Lender to protect, preserve or defend the Collateral until repaid in full;

 

Third, to that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest, fees and other Obligations expressly described below) payable to the Lenders ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective interests until paid in full;

 

Fourth, to that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and other Obligations, ratably among Lenders in proportion to the respective interests until paid in full;

 

Fifth, to that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid Final Payment or Prepayment Fee, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to their respective interests until paid in full;

 

Sixth, to that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective interests until paid in full;

 

Seventh, to all other Obligations that are due and payable to Agent, in its capacity as such, and Lenders, or any of them, on such date, ratably among Agent and Lenders in proportion to the respective interests until paid in full; and

 

Eighth, the balance, if any, to Borrowers or as otherwise required by applicable law.

 

Borrowers shall remain liable to Agent and Lenders for any deficiency. If Agent, directly or indirectly, enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Agent shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Agent of cash or immediately available funds therefor.

 

9.5 Agent’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Agent complies with reasonable secured lender practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Agent, Agent shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Loan Parties bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

 

9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Any failure by Agent or any Lender, at any time or times, to require strict performance by each Loan Party of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Agent or Lenders thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Agent and Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Agent has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Agent or any Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Agent or any Lender from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and any waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Any delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

 

9.7 Demand Waiver. Each Loan Party waives presentment, demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments or chattel paper.

 

9.8 Shares. Each Loan Party recognizes that Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Shares, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in federal securities laws and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, agrees that any such lesser price or less favorable term shall not, in and of itself, cause any such private sale to be deemed to not have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Shares for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under federal securities laws or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

Each Loan Party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in New York County, City of New York, New York; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Agent from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Agent or any Lender. Each Loan Party expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Loan Party hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each Loan Party hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such Loan Party at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by such Loan Party in accordance with, Section 10 and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of a Loan Party’s actual receipt thereof or three days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid. Each Loan Party hereby expressly waives any claim to assert that the laws of any other jurisdiction govern this Agreement.

THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANYWHERE ELSE, EACH Loan Party AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT SEEK FROM agent or any lender UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING ANY THEORY IN TORTS), ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been satisfied in full, in cash and all commitments to extend credit pursuant to this Agreement have terminated. So long as Borrowers have satisfied the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement), this Agreement and any remaining commitments to extend credit may be terminated prior to the Maturity Date by Borrowers, by written notice of termination to Agent (whereupon Agent shall promptly provide a copy of such notice to Lenders). Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination.

 

12.2 Successors and Assigns.

 

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. No Loan Party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Agent’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Agent’s discretion).

 

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Each Lender has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrowers but subject to approval by Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld (except no approval shall be required for any assignment to an Affiliate of the applicable Lender or an Approved Fund), to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, such Lender’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (other than any Warrant) as to which assignment, transfer and other such actions are governed by the terms thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing,(i) no Lender shall assign its interest in the Loans and Loan Documents to any Person who in the reasonable estimation of Agent is a direct competitor of Borrower and (ii) no Lender shall assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, such Lender’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any Person who is not a “United States person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986) and who has not provided, prior to the date of such assignment, negotiation or participation, and from time to time thereafter upon request, a duly executed and completed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Person is a “United States person” and exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax, provided that such assignment to a Person who is not a “United States person” shall be permitted (without the consent of Agent) if such Person has provided, prior to the date of such assignment, negotiation or participation, and from time to time thereafter upon request, a duly executed and completed IRS Form W-8 or otherwise complied with relevant tax laws and regulations.

 

(c) Minimum Amounts.

 

(i) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in Section 12.2(c)(ii) in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

 

24

 

 

(ii) In any case not described in Section 12.2(c)(i) the aggregate amount of the Commitment or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000.

 

(d) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

 

(e) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except the consent of Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Loans to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

 

(f) Assignment Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Agent an administrative questionnaire, all required tax forms (including pursuant to Section 12.2(b)) and any and all documentation and other information with respect to the assignee that is required by regulatory authorities under applicable anti-money-laundering laws.

 

(g) No Assignment to Certain Persons. Without Agent’s consent, no such assignment shall be made to (A) Borrowers or any of Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

 

(h) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

 

(i) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or sub-participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrowers and Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such defaulting Lender to Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

 

(j) Register. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrowers, Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

12.3 Indemnification. Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Agent and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Lender (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (i) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (including such claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities based on liability in tort, including strict liability in tort) (collectively, “Claims”) claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (ii) all losses or expenses (including Secured Party Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from transactions among Agent, Lenders and Loan Parties (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses to the extent directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 12.3 shall survive until all statutes of limitation with respect to the Claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is given shall have run. This Section 12.3 shall not apply with respect to taxes (including any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto) other than any taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-tax claim.

 

12.4 Borrower Liability. If any Person is joined to this Agreement as a Borrower, the following provisions shall apply: Each Borrower hereunder shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Loans made hereunder, regardless of which Borrower actually receives said Loan, as if each Borrower hereunder directly received all Loans. Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law, and (b) any right to require Agent to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. Agent may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of Agent under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by such Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Lenders and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

 

12.5 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.

 

12.6 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.

 

12.7 Correction of Loan Documents. Agent may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.

 

12.8 Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, shall be enforceable or admissible unless, approved by Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Loan Parties, Agent and Required Lenders, provided that an amendment implementing a Replacement Reference Rate proposed by Agent (subject to consultation with Borrower Representative) shall become effective without written amendment to this Agreement on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the draft amendment is provided by Agent to all other parties to this Agreement unless Agent has received written notice from Required Lenders objecting to such amendment prior to such date, and provided further, that any of the following amendments or modifications shall be binding upon any Lender only if such amendment or modification is duly executed by such Lender:

 

(a) any amendment that has the effect of decreasing (or forgiving) any principal amount of any Loan outstanding, accrued interest thereon, or any fees payable to Lenders shall require the written consent of each affected Lender;

 

26

 

 

(b) any amendment that has the effect of increasing any Commitment shall require the written consent of each affected Lender;

 

(c) any amendment that has the effect of releasing a Loan Party from, or consent to a Loan Party’s assignment or delegation of, such Loan Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other applicable Loan Document, including any Guaranty (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders) shall require the written consent of each affected Lender;

 

(d) any amendment that has the effect of releasing all or substantially all Collateral or subordinating the lien granted in favor of Agent securing the Obligations shall require the written consent of each affected Lender;

 

(e) any extension of the Payment Date for any scheduled payment of principal or interest or any extension to any scheduled maturity date, shall require the consent of each Lender holding any portion of the Loan to which such extension applies;

 

(f) any reduction in the stated rate of interest payable hereunder shall require the consent of each Lender to whom such interest or fee is due;

 

(g) any amendment, waiver or modification that has the effect of eliminating or reducing the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 12.8 shall require the consent of each such affected Lender;

 

(h) any amendment or waiver of pro rata application of payments or collateral proceeds or any amendment or modification to provisions specifying the order or manner of application of payments or proceeds shall require the consent of each Lender;

 

(i) any amendment or modification to the defined term “Required Lenders” shall require the consent of each Lender;

 

(j) any amendment or modification to the application of payments set forth in Section 9.4 shall require the consent of each Lender; and

 

(k) any amendment, waiver or modification to this Section 12.8 shall require the consent of each affected Lender.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations among the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents.

 

12.9 Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Documents. This Agreement and any other Loan Documents, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms hereof or thereof, may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of any Loan Document by electronic means including by email delivery of a “.pdf” format data file shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of such Loan Document.

12.10 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Agent and each Lender agree to exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans; (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order and in connection with reporting obligations applicable to Agent or such Lender, including pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (d) to Agent or the applicable Lender’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with any examination or audit; (e) as Agent or the applicable Lender considers appropriate in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the Obligations; and (f) to third-party service providers of Agent or Lenders so long as such service providers are bound by confidentiality terms not more permissive than the terms hereof. Confidential information does not include information that is either: (i) in the public domain or in Agent or any Lender’s possession when disclosed to Agent or Lender, as applicable, or becomes part of the public domain (other than as a result of its disclosure by Agent or the applicable Lender in violation of this Agreement) after disclosure to Agent or such Lender, as applicable; or (ii) disclosed to Agent or the applicable Lender by a third party, if Agent or such Lender, as applicable, does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

12.11 Borrower Representative. Each of the Borrowers hereby appoints Borrower Representative to act as its exclusive agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, with respect to all matters related to the borrowing and repayment of any Loan). Each of the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that (a) Borrower Representative may execute such documents on behalf of any Borrower as Borrower Representative deems appropriate in its sole discretion and each Borrower shall be bound by and obligated by all of the terms of any such document executed by Borrower Representative on its behalf, (b) any notice or other communication delivered hereunder to Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Borrower and (c) Agent and any Lender shall accept (and shall be permitted to rely on) any document or agreement executed by Borrower Representative on behalf of Borrowers (or any of them). Borrower shall act through Borrower Representative for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent any provision in this Agreement requires any Borrower to interact in any manner with Agent or any Lender, such Borrower shall do so through Borrower Representative.

 

12.12 Tax Treatment. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Loans made on the Closing Date are part of an investment unit within the meaning of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which includes the Warrants. As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, Agent shall deliver to Borrower Representative, Lenders’ determination of the “issue price” of such investment unit allocated to the Loans made on the Closing Date under Section 1273(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the aggregate fair market value of the Warrants on the Closing Date, based on a valuation performed by Lenders’ tax advisors. Upon notification of such valuation by Agent to Borrower Representative, each party hereto agrees to use the issue price for United States federal, state and local income tax purposes, along with the supporting calculations, and fair market value, as applicable, as determined in accordance with the foregoing, for all income tax purposes with respect to this transaction, unless otherwise required by the IRS or another Governmental Authority following an audit or examination.

 

12.13 Captions. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

 

12.14 Construction of Agreement. The parties mutually acknowledge that they and their attorneys have participated in the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement. In cases of uncertainty this Agreement shall be construed without regard to which of the parties caused the uncertainty to exist.

 

12.15 Relationship. The relationship of the parties to this Agreement is determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement. The parties do not intend to create any agency, partnership, joint venture, trust, fiduciary or other relationship with duties or incidents different from those of parties to an arm’s-length contract.

 

12.16 Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to: (a) confer any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any persons other than the express parties to it and their respective permitted successors and assigns; (b) relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any person not an express party to this Agreement; or (c) give any person not an express party to this Agreement any right of subrogation or action against any party to this Agreement.

12.17 Appointment of Agent.

 

(a) Each Lender hereby appoints Agent to act on behalf of Lenders as administrative agent and collateral agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to hold and enforce any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations. The provisions of this Section 12.17 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and no Loan Party nor any other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Loan Party or any other Person. Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably related thereto. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature and Agent shall not have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender.

 

(b) If Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until it shall have received instructions from Lenders, and Agent shall incur no liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document for any reason. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent’s acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of Lenders.

 

(c) Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Agent. Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective and their respective related parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 12 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the related parties of such Agent and any such sub-agent. No Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

 

(d) Neither Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for damages solely caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel, independent chartered accountants and other experts and consultants selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants, experts or consultants; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Loan Party or to inspect the Collateral (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by email, telecopy, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

 

(e) With respect to its Commitments and Loans hereunder, Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Agent in its individual capacity (to the extent it holds any Obligations owing to Lenders or Commitments hereunder). Agent and each of its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any of their Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Affiliate, all as if Agent was not Agent and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. Agent and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

 

29

 

 

(f) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, made its own credit and financial analysis of the Loan Parties and its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and “know your customer” information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of each other Lender as a result of Lenders holding disproportionate interests in the Loans, and expressly consents to, and waives any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.

 

(g) Each Lender agrees to indemnify Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Loan Parties and without limiting the obligations of Loan Parties hereunder), ratably according to its respective Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by Agent in connection therewith; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented counsel fees) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Loan Document, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Loan Parties.

 

(h) Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution if such commercial bank or financial institution has combined capital of at least $300,000,000. If no successor Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Agent, such resignation shall become effective and Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Agent. Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent or the effective date of the resigning Agent’s resignation, the resigning Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except that any indemnity, expense reimbursement or other rights in favor of such resigning Agent shall continue. After any resigning Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.17 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(i) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, with the prior written consent of Agent, each Lender and each holder of any Obligation is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Loan Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Loan Party or such Subsidiary) and any other properties or assets any time held or owing by that a Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party against and on account of any of the Obligations which are not paid when due. Any Lender or holder of any Obligation exercising a right to set off or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement relating to the priority of the repayment of the Obligations shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so set off or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement relating to the priority of the repayment of the Obligations. Each Loan Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (i) any Lender or holder may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may sell participations in such amount so set off to other Lenders and holders and (ii) any Lender or holders so purchasing a participation in the Loans made or other Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of set-off, bankers’ Lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Loans and the other Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the set-off amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from Lender that has exercised the right of set-off, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.

 

30

 

 

(j) Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. To the extent that Agent advances funds to Borrowers on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such advance is made, Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such advance until reimbursed by the applicable Lender.

 

(k) If Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Agent from Borrowers and such related payment is not received thereby, then Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

 

(l) If Agent determines at any time that any amount received thereby under this Agreement shall be returned to Borrowers or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Agent is required to pay to Borrowers or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

 

(m) Agent shall be deemed to have no knowledge of any Event of Default unless such Agent shall have received written notice thereof from a Lender or a Loan Party stating that it is a “notice of Default” and an Event of Default has occurred. Agent will use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any written notice of Event of Default received by Agent from, or delivered by Agent to, any Loan Party; provided, however, that Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable solely to Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Each Guarantor, who has executed this Agreement as of the date hereof, together with each Loan Party who accedes to this Agreement as a Guarantor after the date hereof pursuant to Section 6.11 hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to Agent and Lenders the prompt and complete payment and performance by Borrowers and the other Loan Parties when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing, and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

 

(a) each Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of such Guarantor and shall not be contingent upon any exercise or enforcement of any remedy it or they may have against a Borrower, or any other Guarantor or other Person liable in respect of the Obligations, or all or any portion of the Collateral; and

 

(b) Agent and Lenders may enforce this guaranty notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Agent or any Lender and a Borrower or any other Guarantor with respect to the existence of any Event of Default.

 

13.2 Maximum Liability. Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 13.5).

 

13.3 Termination. The guaranty pursuant to this Section 13 shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date.

 

13.4 Unconditional Nature of Guaranty. No payment made by a Borrower, Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by Agent or any Lender from a Borrower, Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Termination Date.

 

32

13.6 No Subrogation.

If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Termination Date, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall be segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to Agent or such Lender, as applicable, in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to Agent or such Lender, as applicable, if required), to be applied to the Obligations, irrespective of the occurrence or the continuance of any Event of Default.

 

13.7 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by Agent may be rescinded by Agent and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by Agent, and this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with their respective terms, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by Agent or Lender for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.

13.8 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional; Guarantor Waivers; Guarantor Consent. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Agent or lender upon the guaranty contained in this Section 13 or acceptance of this guaranty. The Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this guaranty. All dealings between Borrowers, Guarantors, Agent and Lenders shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guaranty. Each Guarantor further waives:

 

(a) diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Borrower or any of the other Guarantors with respect to the Obligations;

 

(b) any right to require Agent or any Lender to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower, such Guarantor, any other Guarantor or any other Person, to proceed against any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person, to proceed against or exhaust any of the Collateral, to give notice of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale of personal property security constituting the Collateral or other collateral for the Obligations or to comply with any other provisions of Section 9-611 of the Code (or any equivalent provision of any other applicable law) or to pursue any other right, remedy, power or privilege of Agent or Lender whatsoever;

 

(c) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection or performance of the Obligations;

(f) any rights to set-offs and counterclaims;

  

(g) any defense based upon an election of remedies (including, if available, an election to proceed by nonjudicial foreclosure) which destroys or impairs the subrogation rights of such Guarantor or the right of such Guarantor to proceed against any Borrower or any other obligor of the Obligations for reimbursement; and

 

(h) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law that limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Agreement.

 

33

 

 

Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 13 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guaranty or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Agent or any Lender, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower or any other Person against Agent or Lender, or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Borrower for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under this guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance, (iv) any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, (v) any merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the assets or Equity Interests of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person, (vi) any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Agent or any Lender’s interests in and rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including Agent or any Lender’s right to receive payment of the Obligations, or any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Agent’s interests in and to any of the Collateral, (vii) Agent’s vote, claim, distribution, election, acceptance, action or inaction in any Insolvency Proceeding related to any of the Obligations, and (viii) any other guaranty, whether by such Guarantor or any other Person, of all or any part of the Obligations or any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of any Guarantor to Agent or any Lender. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, Agent may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto. Any failure by Agent to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Agent or any Lender against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

 

13.9 Modifications to the Obligations. Each Guarantor further unconditionally consents and agrees that, without notice to or further assent from any Guarantor: (a) the principal amount of the Obligations may be increased or decreased and additional indebtedness or obligations of a Borrower or any other Persons under the Loan Documents may be incurred, by one or more amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of any Loan Document or otherwise; (b) the time, manner, place or terms of any payment under any Loan Document may be extended or changed, including by an increase or decrease in the interest rate on any Obligation or any fee or other amount payable under such Loan Document, by an amendment, modification or renewal of any Loan Document or otherwise; (c) the time for a Borrower’s (or any other Loan Party’s) performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any Loan Document may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to, all in such manner and upon such terms as Agent and applicable Lenders may deem proper; (d) in addition to the Collateral, Agent may take and hold other security (legal or equitable) of any kind, at any time, as collateral for the Obligations, and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, exchange, sell, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend such security and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action, and may apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof; (e) Agent may discharge or release, in whole or in part, any other Guarantor or any other Loan Party or other Person liable for the payment and performance of all or any part of the Obligations, and may permit or consent to any such action or any result of such action, and shall not be obligated to demand or enforce payment upon any of the Collateral, nor shall Agent or any Lender be liable to any Guarantor for any failure to collect or enforce payment or performance of the Obligations from any Person or to realize upon the Collateral, and (f) Agent may request and accept other guaranties of the Obligations and any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of a Borrower or any other Loan Party to Agent and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend any such guaranty and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action; in case of each of clauses (a) through (f), as Agent may deem advisable, and without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting this Agreement.

 

13.10 Reinstatement. The guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of a Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, a Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

 

13.11 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except in writing in accordance with Section 12.9), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default, as applicable. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

 

13.12 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. Each Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, for all costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under this guaranty or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel.
