(b) Information. Such Purchaser and its Representatives have been furnished with (i) all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company, (ii) materials relating to the offer and sale of the Purchased Shares and (iii) materials relating to the Acquisition, in each case, that have been requested by such Purchaser. Such Purchaser and its Representatives have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted at any time by such Purchasers and its Representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Purchasers’ right (i) to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Article III above or (ii) to indemnification or any other remedy based on, or with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in any Transaction Document.

Such Purchaser has been advised and understands that the Purchased Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act (or if eligible, pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to another available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act). Such Purchaser has been advised and understands that the Company, in issuing the Purchased Shares, is relying upon, among other things, the representations and warranties of such Purchaser contained in this Article IV in concluding that such issuance is a “private offering” and is exempt from the registration provisions of the Securities Act.

(e) Rule 144. Such Purchaser understands that there is no public trading market for the Purchased Shares, that none is expected to develop and that the Purchased Shares must be held indefinitely unless and until the Purchased Shares are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available.

(f) Reliance by the Company. Such Purchaser understands that the Purchased Shares are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities Laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Purchased Shares.

(b) In addition to the rights described in Section 5.04(a), in the event of a Change of Control in which the Company is not the surviving entity that occurs prior to full funding of a Purchaser’s Commitment Amount, such Purchaser shall have the right to require the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to secure for such Purchaser the right to purchase securities in the surviving entity or the parent of the surviving entity that have substantially similar rights, preferences and privileges as the Series B Preferred Shares on the same basis such Purchaser is or would be so entitled to the extent it has or had funded its Commitment Amount before such Change of Control.

Section 6.02 Indemnification By the Purchasers. Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify the Company, and its Representatives (collectively, “Company Related Parties”) from, and hold each of them harmless against, any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any investigations, litigation or inquiries), demands, and causes of action, and, in connection therewith, and promptly upon demand, pay or reimburse each of them for all Losses, whether or not involving a Third-Party Claim, as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to the breach of any representations, warranties or covenants of such Purchaser contained herein, provided that such claim for indemnification relating to the breach of representations or warranties is made prior to the expiration of the survival period of such representation or warranty as set forth in Section 6.03; provided, however, that for purposes of determining when an indemnification claim has been made, the date upon which a Company Related Party shall have given notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of the claim for indemnification) to such Purchaser shall constitute the date upon which such claim has been made.

Section 6.04 Limitations to Indemnification.

(a) The maximum amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from (i) the Company for any amounts due under Section 6.01 (other than for breaches of Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.09 or Section 3.13) shall be an amount equal to the Indemnification Cap and (ii) all Purchasers in the aggregate for any amounts due under Section 6.02 (other than for breaches of Section 4.01, Section 4.02 or Section 4.04) shall be an amount equal to the Indemnification Cap; and

(b) No party hereto shall have any liability for Losses pursuant to Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 for any special, indirect, consequential (including lost profits) or punitive damages relating to a breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, except to the extent such Losses are incurred by a third person and constitute a portion of a Third-Party Claim.

Section 6.05 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after any Company Related Party or Purchaser Related Party (hereinafter, the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of any indemnifiable claim hereunder, or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding by a third person, which the Indemnified Party believes in good faith is an indemnifiable claim under this Agreement (each a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall give the indemnitor hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such Third-Party Claim, but failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such Third-Party Claim to the extent then known. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly, and in no event later than ten (10) Business Days, notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Party shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled (i) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (ii) if (A) the Indemnifying Party has, within ten (10) Business Days of when the Indemnified Party provides written notice of a Third-Party Claim, failed (1) to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party or (2) to notify the Indemnified Party of such assumption or (B) if the

 

27


defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not include any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Party. The remedies provided for in this Article VI are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to a party at law or in equity or otherwise.

Section 6.06 Tax Characterization. All indemnification payments under this Article VI shall be treated as adjustments to the applicable Purchaser’s relevant Funding Obligation for all Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES, AND AGREES TO CAUSE ITS CONTROLLED AFFILIATES TO WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 7.13 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which counterparts, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original and all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

Section 7.14 Tax Withholding. The Company agrees that, provided that each Purchaser delivers to the Company a properly executed IRS Form W-9 certifying as to such Purchaser’s complete exemption from backup withholding, under current Law the Company (including any paying agent of the Company) shall not be required to, and shall not, withhold on any payments or deemed payments to any such Purchaser. In the event that any Purchaser fails to deliver to the Company such properly executed IRS Form W-9, the Company reasonably believes that a previously delivered IRS W-9 is no longer accurate and/or valid, or there is a change in Law that affects the withholding obligations of the Company, the Company and its paying agent shall be entitled to withhold Taxes on all payments made to the relevant Purchaser in the form of cash or to request that the relevant Purchaser promptly pay the Company in cash any amounts required to satisfy any withholding Tax obligations. In the event that the Company does not have sufficient cash with respect to any Purchaser from withholding on cash payments otherwise payable to such Purchaser and cash paid to the Company by such Purchaser to the Company pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company and its paying agent shall be entitled to withhold Taxes on deemed payments, including distributions of additional Series B Preferred Stock in lieu of cash and constructive distributions, on the Series B Preferred Stock to the extent required by Law, and the Company and its paying agent shall be entitled to satisfy any required withholding tax on non-cash payments (including deemed payments) through a sale of a portion of the Series B Preferred Stock received as a dividend or from cash dividends or sales proceeds subsequently paid or credited on the Series B Preferred Stock.

Section 7.15 Tax Treatment. The parties agree that for purposes of Section 305 of the Code and Section 1.305-5 of the Treasury Regulations, the Series B Preferred Stock shall be treated as redeemable at the option of the Holder (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designations) on the sixth anniversary of the Issue Date (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designations). Accordingly, the parties agree that the Redemption Consideration (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designations) expected to be payable on such sixth anniversary (assuming that the Company complies with its obligations to make cash distributions and distributions in the form of Series B PIK Shares (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designations)), to the extent in excess of the amount paid for the Series B Preferred Stock, shall be accrued under principles similar to the principles of Section 1272(a) of the Code, and for each calendar year an appropriate amount pursuant to such principles (for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account any cash distributions) shall be treated as a constructive distribution of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 305 of the Code and Section 1.305-5 of the Treasury Regulations. The parties shall reasonably cooperate to determine any such amounts that are required to be reported on any IRS Form 1099 and shall discuss the determination of any such amounts sufficiently in advance of the deadline for filing any IRS Form 1099 to allow the parties to resolve any disagreements over any such determination. If the parties are unable to resolve any disagreement, then such disagreement shall be submitted to an an independent nationally recognized accounting firm that is mutually agreed upon by the parties (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) for prompt resolution. The parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to make its determination as promptly as possible, and in any event within thirty (30) days after such Independent Accounting Firm has been retained and prior to the date on which the relevant IRS Form 1099 is due. The costs and expense of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne 50% by the Purchasers, on the one hand, and 50% by the Company, on the other hand.
