Item 1.01                                           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On October 2, 2019, Neos Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Neos Therapeutics Brands, LLC and Neos Therapeutics, LP (together, with the Company, the “Borrowers”), Neos Therapeutics Commercial, LLC and PharmaFab Texas, LLC (together, the “Loan Party Obligors”), Encina Business Credit, LLC, as agent (“Agent”), and lenders who become parties to the Loan Agreement from time to time (“Lenders”). Under the Loan Agreement, the Lenders will extend up to $25 million in secured revolving loans to the Borrowers (the “Revolving Loans”), of which up to $2.5 million may be available  for short-term swingline loans. The credit becomes available to the Borrowers upon request following satisfaction of certain conditions precedent. As security for the Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers and Loan Party Obligors granted the Lenders (subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined below)) a first priority security interest on certain of the Borrowers’ assets.

 

The Revolving Loans under the Loan Agreement bear interest at a variable rate through maturity at one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus an applicable margin of 4.50%.  In the event that LIBOR is discontinued or specified other events occur impacting the ability of the lenders to utilize LIBOR for the Revolving Loans, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), the interest rate following such event will be based on the Base Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement), plus an applicable margin of 3.50%. In addition, the Borrowers are required to pay an unused line fee of 0.50% of the average unused portion of the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount (as defined in the Loan Agreement) during the immediately preceding month. Interest is payable monthly in arrears, upon a prepayment of a Loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement), and on the maturity date.  The Loan Agreement provides that the maturity date is May 11, 2022.

 

The Borrowers may permanently terminate the Revolving Loan facility by prepaying all outstanding principal amounts and accrued interest at any time, subject to at least five (5) business days prior written notice to the Agent and the payment of a prepayment fee equal to (i) 2.0% of the aggregate principal amount prepaid if such prepayment occurs on or before October 2, 2020, (ii) 1.0% of the aggregate principal amount prepaid if such prepayment occurs after October 2, 2020, but before October 2, 2021, and (iii) 0.5% of the aggregate principal amount prepaid if such prepayment occurs after October 2, 2021 but before May 11, 2022.

 

The Loan Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, including covenants and restrictions that, among other things, require the Borrowers to satisfy certain capital expenditure and other financial covenants, and restrict the ability of the Borrowers to incur liens, incur additional indebtedness, engage in mergers and acquisitions, or make asset sales without the prior written consent of the Lenders.  A failure to comply with these covenants could permit the Lenders to declare the Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Agreement, together with accrued interest and fees, to be immediately due and payable, plus any applicable additional amounts relating to a prepayment or termination, as described above.

 

The Company expects to use the net proceeds of any Revolving Loans for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

In addition, in connection with the Loan Agreement, the Borrowers entered into on October 2, 2019, a Fourth Amendment to Facility Agreement (“Fourth Amendment”), dated as of May 11, 2016, with Deerfield Mgmt, L.P., Deerfield Private Design Fund III, L.P. and Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. (the “Deerfield Parties”).  Under this Fourth Amendment, which amended the Facility Agreement, dated as of May 11, 2016 (as previously amended, the “Facility Agreement”), the Borrowers restated their representations and warranties made to the Agent and the Lenders under the Facility Agreement in favor of the Deerfield Parties and made additional representations and warranties consistent with those in the Facility Agreement.  In addition, the affirmative covenants, negative covenants and events of default contained in the Facility Agreement were expanded to conform to applicable provisions in the ABL Loan Agreement.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Loan Agreement and Fourth Amendment, and the description of the Intercreditor Agreement contained within Item 8.01 below do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their

All Revolving Loans shall be made in and repayable in Dollars. (b) Reserves. Agent may, with notice to Borrower Representative, from time to time establish and revise reserves against the Borrowing Base and the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount in such amounts and of such types as Agent deems appropriate in its Permitted Discretion ("Reserves") to reflect (i) events, conditions, contingencies or risks which affect or could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect (A) the Collateral or its value, or the enforceability, perfection or priority of the security interests and other rights of Agent in the Collateral or (B) the assets and business of any Borrower or any Loan Party Obligor (including the Dilution Reserve), (ii) Agent's good faith belief that any Collateral report or financial information furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Loan Party Obligor to Agent is or may have been incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect, (iii) any fact or circumstance which Agent determines in good faith constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to constitute, a Default or Event of Default, or (iv) past due Taxes, or (v) any other similar events or circumstances which Agent determines in good faith make the establishment or revision of a Reserve prudent.

In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is -22-

All payments required by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars (unless payment in a different currency is expressly provided otherwise in the applicable Loan Document) and paid free of any deductions or withholdings for any taxes or other amounts and without abatement, diminution or set-off. If any Loan Party Obligor is required by applicable law to make such a deduction or withholding from a payment under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, such Loan Party Obligor shall pay to Agent such additional amount as shall be necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Agent receives (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received and so retained had no such deduction or withholding been made or required to be made. Each Loan Party Obligor shall (a) pay the full amount of any deduction or withholding that it is required to make by law, to the relevant authority within the payment period set by applicable law and (b) promptly after any such payment, deliver to Agent an original (or certified copy) official receipt issued by the relevant authority in respect of the amount withheld or deducted or, if the relevant authority does not issue such official receipts, such other evidence of payment of the amount withheld or deducted as is reasonably acceptable to Agent. (b) If, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date (or at any time before or after the Closing Date with respect to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith), (a) any change in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, (b) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive enacted or application thereof or (c) compliance by Agent with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency (i) subjects Agent or any Lender to any tax, levy, impost, deduction, assessment, charge or withholding of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Loan Document, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to Agent or any Lender of any amount payable thereunder (except for net income taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, imposed generally by federal, state, local or other taxing authorities with respect to interest or fees -24-

Each such notice of additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) submitted by Agent or any Lender, as applicable, to Borrower Representative shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes. (c) This Section 2.7 shall remain operative even after the Termination Date and shall survive the payment in full of all of the Loans. 2.8.Reversal of Payments. To the extent that any payment or payments made to or received by Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to any trustee, receiver or other Person under any state, federal or other bankruptcy or other such applicable law, then, to the extent thereof, such amounts (and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto) shall be revived as Obligations (secured by all such Liens) and continue in full force and effect under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents as if such payment or payments had not been received by Agent or such Lender. This Section 2.8 shall remain operative even after the Termination Date and shall survive the payment in full of all of the Loans. 2.9. Notes. The Loans and Commitments shall, at the request of any Lender, be evidenced by one or more promissory notes in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Lender. However, if such Loans are not so evidenced, such Loans may be evidenced solely by entries upon the books and records maintained by Agent. 2.10. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: (a) Unused Line Fees pursuant to Section 3.2(a) shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; (b) Any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the funding of any Revolving Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Agent, (iii) third, if so determined by Agent and Borrowers, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (iv) fourth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrowers or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrowers or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (v) fifth, to such -25-

Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if such payment is made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to prepay the Loans of all Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders pro rata prior to being applied to the prepayment of any Loans, or reimbursement obligations owed to, any Defaulting Lender. (c) No Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, consent or any other action the Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take hereunder, provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each directly affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender. 2.11. Appointment of Borrower Representative. (a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Borrower Representative as its agent and attorney-in-fact to request and receive Loans in the name or on behalf of such Borrower and any other Borrowers, deliver Notices of Borrowing, and Borrowing Base Certificates, give instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) in the name or on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Lender may disburse the Loans to such bank account of Borrower Representative or a Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower, in each case as Borrower Representative may designate or direct, without notice to any other Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender may at any time and from time to time require that Loans to or for the account of any Borrower be disbursed directly to an operating account of such Borrower. (b) Borrower Representative hereby accepts the appointment by Borrowers to act as the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.11. Borrower Representative shall ensure that the disbursement of any Loans that are at any time requested by or to be remitted to or for the account of a Borrower requested on behalf of a Borrower hereunder, shall be remitted or issued to or for the account of such Borrower. (c) EachBorrowerherebyirrevocablyappointsandconstitutesBorrower Representative as its agent to receive statements on account and all other notices from Lender with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (d) Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking made or delivered by or on behalf of any Borrower by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made or delivered by such Borrower, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if made or delivered directly by such Borrower. (e) No resignation by or termination of the appointment of Borrower Representative as agent and attorney-in-fact as aforesaid shall be effective, except after ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to Lender. If the Borrower Representative resigns under this Agreement, Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint a successor Borrower Representative (which shall be a Borrower and shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender as such successor). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Borrower Representative hereunder, such successor Borrower Representative shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Borrower Representative and the term "Borrower Representative" shall mean such successor Borrower Representative for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the retiring or terminated Borrower Representative’s appointment, powers and duties as Borrower Representative shall be thereupon terminated. -26-

2.12. Joint and Several Liability (b) Joint and Several. Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower is jointly and severally liable for the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Agent and Lenders by each other Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that its obligation hereunder shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred, and that its obligations under this Section 2.12 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by, (i) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Borrower is or may become a party; (ii) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 2.12) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Agent or any Lender with respect to any of the provisions thereof; (iii) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect Agent's Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent in respect thereof (including the release of any such security); (iv) the insolvency of any Loan Party or Other Obligor; or (v) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. (c) Waivers by Borrowers. To the extent permitted by applicable laws, each Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Agent to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations against any other Loan Party or Other Obligor, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower. It is agreed among each Borrower, Agent and Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 2.12 and such waivers, Agent and Lenders would decline to enter into this Agreement. (d) Benefit of Joint and Several Obligations. Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Section 2.12 are for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and their successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower, Agent and any Lender, the obligations of such other Borrower under the Loan Documents. (e)Subordination of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably subordinates to payment of the Obligations any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor with respect to any other Loan Party or any Other Obligor until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit Agent and Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower's liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 2.12, and that Agent and Lenders and their successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 2.12(d). -27-

(f) Election of Remedies. If Agent may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving Agent a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, Agent may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 2.12. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Agent shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to "election of remedies" or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by Agent and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Agent shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Agent. (g) Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations. (i) To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Section 2.12 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a "Guarantor Payment") that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Borrower's "Allocable Amount" (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment. (ii) As of any date of determination, the "Allocable Amount" of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 2.12 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law. (iii) This Section 2.12(f) is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 2.12(f) is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 2.12(a). Nothing contained in this Section 2.12(f) shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans made directly or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable. (iv) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of each Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. (v) The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Loan Parties under this Section 2.12(f) shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments. (h) Liability Cumulative. The liability of Borrowers under this Section 2.12 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any -28-

Obligations or obligation of the other Borrower, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary. 3. INTEREST AND FEES; LOAN ACCOUNT. 3.1. Interest. All Loans and other monetary Obligations shall bear interest at the interest rate(s) set forth in Section 3 of Annex I, and accrued interest shall be payable (a) on the first day of each month in arrears, (b) upon a prepayment of Loan in accordance with Section 2.6, and (c) on the Maturity Date; provided, that after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all Loans and other monetary Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two (2) percentage points (2.00%) in excess of the rate otherwise applicable thereto (the "Default Rate"), and all such interest shall be payable on demand. Changes in the interest rate shall be effective as of the first day of each month based on the LIBOR Rate or Base Rate, as applicable, in effect on such date. Subject to Section 3.6 and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Loans shall constitute LIBOR Loans. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of Agent or Required Lenders, all Loans shall constitute Base Rate Loans. 3.2. Fees. Borrowers shall pay Agent the following fees on the dates provided therefor, which fees are in addition to all fees and other sums payable by Borrowers or any other Person to Agent under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document and, in each case, are not refundable once paid: (a) Unused Line Fee. An unused line fee (the "Unused Line Fee"), for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) per annum of the amount by which (i) the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount, calculated without giving effect to any Reserves applied to the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount, exceeds (ii) the average daily outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans during the immediately preceding month (or part thereof), which fee shall be deemed to be fully earned and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month until the Termination Date. (b) Early Payment/Termination Premium. In the event that, for any reason (including as a result of any voluntary or mandatory prepayment of the Loans, any acceleration of the Loans resulting from an Event of Default, any foreclosure and sale of Collateral, or any sale of Collateral in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding), all or any portion of the Lenders' commitment to make Revolving Loans is terminated prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, in each case pursuant to Section 2.6, Section 11.2 or otherwise, then in each such case, in addition to the payment of the principal amount and all unpaid accrued interest and other amounts due thereon, Borrowers immediately shall be required to pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a premium (each, an "Early Payment/Termination Premium") (as liquidated damages and compensation for the cost of the Lenders being prepared to make funds available under this Agreement with respect to such Loans during the scheduled term of this Agreement) in an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage (as defined below) of the amount of any such Revolving Loan commitment termination, as applicable. In each such case, the "Applicable Percentage" shall be (A) two percent (2.0%), if such event occurs on or before the date that is twelve months following the Closing Date, (B) one percent (1.0%) if such event occurs after the date that is twelve months following the Closing Date, but on or before the date that is twenty-four months following the Closing Date, and (C) one-half of one percent (0.5%) if such event occurs after the date that is twenty four months following the Closing Date, but on or before the Scheduled Maturity Date. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (x) the provisions of this paragraph shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any rescission by Agent of an acceleration with respect to all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to Section 11.2 or otherwise, (y) payment of any Early Payment/Termination Premium under this paragraph constitutes liquidated damages and not a penalty and (z) the actual amount of damages to Lenders or profits lost by Lenders as a result of such early payment or termination would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain, and the Early -29-

 

Payment/Termination Premium under this paragraph is provided by mutual agreement of Borrowers and Lenders as a reasonable estimation and calculation of such lost profits or damages of Borrowers and Lenders. 3.3. Computation of Interest and Fees. All interest and fees shall be calculated daily on the outstanding monetary Obligations based on the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days. 3.4. Loan Account; Monthly Accountings. Agent shall maintain a loan account for Borrowers reflecting all outstanding Loans, along with interest accrued thereon and such other items reflected therein (the "Loan Account"), and shall provide Borrower Representative with a monthly accounting reflecting the activity in the Loan Account, viewable by Borrowers on ABLSoft. Each accounting shall be deemed correct, accurate and binding on Borrowers and an account stated (except for reverses and reapplications of payments made and corrections of errors discovered by Agent), unless Borrower Representative notifies Agent in writing to the contrary within ninety (90) days after such account is rendered, describing the nature of any alleged errors or omissions. However, Agent's failure to maintain the Loan Account or to provide any such accounting shall not affect the legality or binding nature of any of the Obligations. Interest, fees and other monetary Obligations due and owing under this Agreement may, in Agent's discretion, be charged to the Loan Account, and will thereafter be deemed to be Revolving Loans and will bear interest at the same rate as other Revolving Loans. 3.5. Further Obligations; Maximum Lawful Rate. With respect to all monetary Obligations for which the interest rate is not otherwise specified herein (whether such Obligations arise hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or otherwise), such Obligations shall bear interest at the rate(s) in effect from time to time with respect to the Revolving Loans and shall be payable upon demand by Agent. In no event shall the interest charged with respect to any Loan or any other Obligation exceed the maximum amount permitted under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, if at any time the rate of interest payable or other amounts hereunder or under any other Loan Document (the "Stated Rate") would exceed the highest rate of interest or other amount permitted under any applicable law to be charged (the "Maximum Lawful Rate"), then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest and other amounts payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, that if at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, continue to pay interest and such other amounts at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest and other such amounts received is equal to the total interest and other such amounts which would have been received had the Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest rate payable or such other amounts payable. Thereafter, the interest rate and such other amounts payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this provision shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest or other such amounts received by Agent exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received had the interest and other such amounts been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If, notwithstanding the prior sentence, Agent has received interest or other such amounts hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Loans or to other Obligations (other than interest) payable hereunder, and if no such principal or other Obligations are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to Borrowers. In computing interest payable with reference to the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to any Lender, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made. 3.6. Certain Provisions Regarding LIBOR Loans; Replacement of Lenders. (a) Inadequate or Unfair Basis. If Agent or any Lender reasonably determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining -30-

the applicable LIBOR Rate, then Agent or such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower Representative (and Agent, if applicable) thereof and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (i) Agent and/or such Lender shall be under no obligation to make any LIBOR Loans and (ii) on the last day of the current calendar month, each LIBOR Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan. (b) Change in Law. If any change in, or the adoption of any new, law, treaty or regulation, or any change in the interpretation of any applicable law or regulation by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, would make it (or in the good faith judgment of Agent or the applicable Lender cause a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for Agent or such Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, then Agent or such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower Representative and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (i) Agent or such Lender shall have no obligation to make any LIBOR Loan and (ii) on the last day of the current calendar month for each LIBOR Loan (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation), such LIBOR Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan. (c) If any Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.7(b), or any Lender gives notice of the occurrence of any circumstances described in Section 2.7(b), or if Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, Borrowers may designate another Person engaged in the making of commercial loans in the ordinary course of business which is acceptable to Agent in its sole discretion (such other Person being called a "Replacement Lender") to purchase the Loans and Commitments of such Lender and such Lender's rights hereunder, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Lender and any other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, and to assume all the obligations of such Lender hereunder, and, upon such purchase and assumption (pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption), such Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder (other than rights with respect to indemnities and similar rights applicable to such Lender prior to the date of such purchase and assumption) and shall be relieved from all obligations to Borrowers hereunder, and the hereunder. Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Lender (d) contrary, if Agent LIBOR Discontinuation.Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the reasonably determines after the Closing Date that the LIBOR Rate has been discontinued or is no longer available as a benchmark interest rate, Agent shall select a comparable successor rate in its reasonable discretion (in consultation with the Borrowers), which successor rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice taking into account the benchmark interest rates applicable to funding sources for the Lenders, and will promptly so notify each Lender. 4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. 4.1. Conditions to Initial Loans. Each Lender's obligation to fund the initial Loans under this Agreement is subject to the following conditions precedent (as well as any other conditions set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document), all of which must be satisfied in a manner acceptable to Agent (and applicable, pursuant to documentation which in each case is in form and substance acceptable Agent): as to (a) each Loan Party Obligor shall have duly executed and/or delivered, or, as applicable, shall have caused such other applicable Persons to have duly executed and or delivered, to Agent such agreements, instruments, documents, proxies, financial statements, projections, lien searches, -31-

(iii) In order to further effect the foregoing transfer of rights in favor of Agent, during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Loan Party Obligor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of Investment Property pledged by such Loan Party Obligor to comply with any instruction received by such Issuer from Agent without any other or further instruction from such Loan Party Obligor, and each Loan Party Obligor acknowledges and agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and to pay any dividends, distributions, or other payments with respect to any of the Investment Property directly to Agent. (iv) Upon exercise of the proxy set forth herein, all prior proxies given by any Loan Party Obligor with respect to any of the Pledged Equity or other Investment Property, other than to Agent, are hereby revoked, and no subsequent proxies, other than to Agent will be given with respect to any of the Pledged Equity or any of the other Investment Property unless Agent otherwise subsequently agrees in writing. Agent, as proxy, will be empowered and may exercise the irrevocable proxy to vote the Pledged Equity and the other Investment Property at -59-

any and all times during the existence of an Event of Default, including, at any meeting of shareholders or members, as the case may be, however called, and at any adjournment thereof, or in any action by written consent, and may waive any notice otherwise required in connection therewith. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Agent shall have no agency, fiduciary or other implied duties to any Loan Party Obligor, any Issuer, any Loan Party or any other Person when acting in its capacity as such proxy or attorney-in-fact. Each Loan Party Obligor hereby waives and releases any claims that it may otherwise have against Agent with respect to any breach, or alleged breach, of any such agency, fiduciary or other duty. (v) Any transfer to Agent or its nominee, or registration in the name of Agent or its nominee, of the whole or any part of the Investment Property shall be made solely for purposes of effectuating voting or other consensual rights with respect to the Investment Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and is not intended to effectuate any transfer of ownership of any of the Investment Property. Notwithstanding the delivery by Agent of any instruction to any Issuer or any exercise by Agent of an irrevocable proxy or otherwise, Agent shall not be deemed the owner of, or assume any obligations or any liabilities whatsoever of the owner or holder of, any Investment Property unless and until Agent expressly accepts such obligations in a duly authorized and executed writing and agrees in writing to become bound by the applicable Governing Documents or otherwise becomes the owner thereof under applicable law (including through a sale as described in Section 11.3(f)). The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not subject Agent to, or transfer or pass to Agent, or in any way affect or modify, the liability of any Loan Party Obligor under the Governing Documents of any Issuer or any related agreements, documents, or instruments or otherwise. In no event shall the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Agent, or the exercise by Agent of any rights hereunder or assigned hereby, constitute an assumption of any liability or obligation whatsoever of any Loan Party Obligor to, under, or in connection with any of the Governing Documents of any Issuer or any related agreements, documents, or instruments or otherwise. (vi) Compliance with the Securities Act as now in effect or as hereafter amended, or any similar statute hereafter adopted with similar purpose or effect, as well as any applicable "Blue Sky" or other state securities laws, if applicable to the Collateral or the portion thereof being sold, may require strict limitations as to the manner in which the Agent or any subsequent transferee may dispose of the Collateral. With respect to any disposition as to which the Securities Act or analogous state securities laws is applicable, each Loan Party Obligor hereby waives any objection to sale in a compliant manner, and agrees that the Agent has no obligation to obtain the maximum possible price for the Collateral so long as the Agent proceeds in a commercially reasonable manner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party Obligor agrees that in conducting a disposition of the Collateral as to which the Securities Act or analogous state securities laws applies, Agent may seek to sell the Collateral by private placement, and may restrict bidders and prospective purchasers to those who are willing to represent that they are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution and who otherwise satisfy qualifications designed to ensure compliance with the Securities Act and analogous state securities laws and those that may be established in the Issuer’s Governing Documents. Each Loan Party Obligor acknowledges that in order to protect Agent's interest, it may be necessary to sell the Collateral at a price less than the maximum price attainable if a sale were delayed or were made in another manner, including, without limitation, a public offering under the Securities Act. In order to address these potential compliance requirements, Agent may solicit offers to purchase the Collateral from a limited number of bidders reasonably believed by Agent to be institutional investors or accredited investors. If Agent solicits offers in a commercially reasonable manner, then acceptance by Agent of one or more of the offers shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of the Collateral and Agent will not be responsible or liable for selling all or any portion of the Collateral at a price that Agent deems in good faith to be reasonable. Agent is under no obligation to delay a disposition of any -60-

portion of the Collateral that are securities under the Securities Act or applicable "Blue Sky" or other state securities law for the period of time necessary to permit any Loan Party Obligor or the Issuer to register the securities for public sale under the Securities Act or under applicable "Blue Sky" or other state securities laws, even if a Loan Party Obligor or the Issuer agrees to do so. In addition, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each Loan Party Obligor waives any right to prior notice (except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement) or judicial hearing in connection with the taking possession or the disposition of any of the Collateral, including any right which Loan Party Obligor otherwise would have. (vii) To the extent permitted under applicable law, Agent is not required to conduct any foreclosure sale of the Investment Property or any portion thereof. (viii) Agent, at its option, may obtain the appointment of a receiver to take possession of the Investment Property and, at the option of Agent, a receiver may be empowered (i) to collect, receive and enforce all distributions, (ii) to exercise the rights of Agent as provided in this Agreement, (iii) to collect all other amounts owed to any Loan Party Obligor in respect of the Investment Property as and when due to any Loan Party Obligor, (iv) to otherwise collect, sell or dispose of the Investment Property, (v) to exercise all rights in and under the Investment Property; and (vi) to turn over all net proceeds to Agent. Each Loan Party Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that a receiver may be appointed by a court to take the actions listed above without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, and the actions of the receiver may be taken in the name of the receiver, any Loan Party Obligor or Agent. (ix) Agent may elect to conduct a sale of an economic interest in any Investment Property constituting limited liability company interests that does not result in the purchaser being admitted as a substitute limited liability company member in the Issuer, and that any sale or dispositions made in good faith will be considered commercially reasonable, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the purchaser were able to be admitted as a substitute limited liability company member rather than the holder of only an economic interest in the Issuer. (x) Agent may disclose to prospective purchasers all of the information relating to the Investment Property (and the applicable Issuer) that is in the Agent's possession or otherwise available to the Agent. (xi) Each Loan Party Obligor hereby authorizes and instructs their respective Issuer to comply with any instruction received by it from Agent in writing that (i) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of the provisions of this Agreement as to Investment Property, without any other or further instructions from the respective Loan Party Obligor, and such Loan Party Obligor agrees that Issuer be fully protected in so complying. (h) Election of Remedies. Agent shall have the right in Agent's sole discretion to determine which rights, security, Liens or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, foreclose upon, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect to, without in any way impairing, modifying or affecting any of Agent's other rights, security, Liens or remedies with respect to any Collateral or any of Agent's rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. (i) Agent's Obligations. Each Loan Party Obligor agrees that Agent shall not have any obligation to preserve rights to any Collateral against prior parties or to marshal any Collateral of any kind for the benefit of any other creditor of any Loan Party Obligor or any other Person. Agent shall not be responsible to any Loan Party Obligor or any other Person for loss or damage resulting from Agent's -61-

failure to enforce its Liens or collect any Collateral or Proceeds or any monies due or to become due under the Obligations or any other liability or obligation of any Loan Party Obligor to Agent. (j) Waiver of Rights by Loan Party Obligors.Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement or by non-waivable applicable law, each Loan Party waives (i) presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment, dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Agent on which any Loan Party Obligor may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Agent may do in this regard, (ii) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Agent's taking possession or control of, or to Agent's replevy, attachment or levy upon, the Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Agent to exercise any of its remedies and (iii) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal, marshaling and exemption laws. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral is required under applicable law, each Loan Party Obligor agrees that ten (10) calendar days prior notice of the time and place of any public sale and of the time after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made is commercially reasonable. 12. LOAN GUARANTY. 12.1. Guaranty. Each Loan Party Obligor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guaranties to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, all of the Obligations and all costs and expenses, including all court costs and attorneys' and paralegals' fees (including internal and external counsel and paralegals) and expenses of Agent or any Lender in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Borrower, any Loan Party Obligor or any Other Obligor of all or any part of the Obligations (and such costs and expenses paid or incurred shall be deemed to be included in the Obligations). Each Loan Party Obligor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guaranty notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any branch or Affiliate of Agent that extended any portion of the Obligations. 12.2. Guaranty of Payment.This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Party Obligor waives any right to require Agent to sue or otherwise take action against any Borrower, any other Loan Party Obligor, any Other Obligor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Obligations, or otherwise to enforce its payment against any Collateral securing all or any part of the Obligations. 12.3.No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Party Obligor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any Obligor; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Borrower or any Obligor or their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Borrower or any Obligor; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Party Obligor may have at any time against any Borrower, any Obligor, Agent, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions. -62-

GRAPHIC

 

(b) The obligations of each Loan Party Obligor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Borrower or any Obligor of the Obligations or any part thereof. (c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Party Obligor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for all or any part of the Obligations or all or any part of any obligations of any Obligor; (iv) any action or failure to act by Agent with respect to any Collateral; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Party Obligor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party Obligor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations). 12.4. Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party Obligor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Loan Party Obligor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Loan Party Obligor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party Obligor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Borrower, any Obligor, or any other Person. Each Loan Party Obligor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any Collateral, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Borrower or any Obligor or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Borrower or any Obligor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party Obligor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party Obligor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Party Obligor against any Borrower or any Obligor or any security. 12.5. Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Party Obligor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Borrower or any Obligor, or any Collateral, until the Termination Date. 12.6. Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Person, or otherwise, each Loan Party Obligor's obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not Agent is in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Party Obligors forthwith on demand by Agent. This Section 12.6 shall remain operative even after the Termination Date and shall survive the payment in full of all of the Loans. -63-

12.7. Information. Each Loan Party Obligor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower's financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Party Obligor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that Agent shall not have any duty to advise any Loan Party Obligor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks. 12.8. Termination.To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Loan Party Obligor hereby waives any right to revoke this Loan Guaranty as to future Obligations. If such a revocation is effective notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, each Loan Party Obligor acknowledges and agrees that (a) no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has been received by Agent, (b) no such revocation shall apply to any Obligations in existence on the date of receipt by Agent of such written notice (including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest rate, payment terms or other terms and conditions thereof), (c) no such revocation shall apply to any Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of Agent, (d) no payment by any Borrower, any other Loan Party Obligor, or from any other source, prior to the date of Agent's receipt of written notice of such revocation shall reduce the maximum obligation of any Loan Party Obligor hereunder and (e) any payment, by any Borrower or from any source other than a Loan Party Obligor which has made such a revocation, made subsequent to the date of such revocation, shall first be applied to that portion of the Obligations as to which the revocation is effective and which are not, therefore, guarantied hereunder, and to the extent so applied shall not reduce the maximum obligation of any Loan Party Obligor hereunder. 12.9. Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Party Obligor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Party Obligor's liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Party Obligors, Agent or any Lender, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Party Obligor's "Maximum Liability"). This Section 12.09 with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Party Obligor is intended solely to preserve the rights of Agent and the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Party Obligor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Party Obligor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Party Obligor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Party Obligor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of Agent hereunder; provided, that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Party Obligor's obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability. 12.10. Contribution. In the event any Loan Party Obligor shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty (such Loan Party Obligor a "Paying Guarantor"), each other Loan Party Obligor (each a "Non-Paying Guarantor") shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor's "Applicable Percentage" of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Section 12.10, each Non-Paying Guarantor's "Applicable Percentage" with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (x) such Non-Paying Guarantor's Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor's Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non--64-

Paying Guarantor from any Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (y) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Party Obligors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Party Obligor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Party Obligors from any Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Party Obligor's several liability for the entire amount of the Obligations (up to such Loan Party Obligor's Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Party Obligors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders and the Loan Party Obligors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them, in accordance with the terms hereof. 12.11. Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party Obligor under this Section 12 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party Obligor to Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party Obligor is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary. 13. PAYMENTS FREE OF TAXES; OBLIGATION TO WITHHOLD; PAYMENTS ON ACCOUNT OF TAXES. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Party Obligors hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable laws require the Loan Party Obligors to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such laws as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below. (b) If any Loan Party Obligor shall be required by applicable law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (i) such Loan Party Obligor shall withhold or make such deductions as are required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (ii) such Loan Party Obligor shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the applicable law and (iii) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Loan Party Obligors shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made. Upon request by Agent or other Recipient, Borrower Representative shall deliver to Agent or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment of Indemnified Taxes, a copy of any return required by applicable law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent or such other Recipient, as the case may be. (c) Without limiting the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) above, the Loan Party Obligors shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. (d) Without limiting the provisions of subsections (a) through (c) above, each Loan Party Obligor shall, and does hereby, on a joint and several basis, indemnify Agent, each Lender and each other Recipient (and their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents) and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified -65-

GRAPHIC

 

Taxes and Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid or incurred by Agent, any Lender or any other Recipient on account of, or in connection with any Loan Document or a breach by a Loan Party Obligor thereof, and any penalties, interest and related expenses and losses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any internal or external counsel or other tax advisor for Agent, any Lender or any other Recipient (or their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates, and agents)), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to Borrower Representative shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 13 shall remain operative even after the Termination Date and shall survive the payment in full of all of the Loans. (e) Each Lender shall deliver to Borrower Representative and each Lender and each Participant shall deliver to Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable laws, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit Borrower Representative or Agent, as the case may be, to determine (x) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (y) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction and (z) such Lender's or Participant's entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Recipient by the Loan Party Obligors pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Recipient's status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction; provided, that each Recipient shall only be required to deliver such documentation as it may legally provide. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States: (i) each Lender (or Participant) that is a "United States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Borrower Representative and Agent (or any Lender granting a participation as applicable) an executed original of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Agent (or Lender granting a participation) as will enable Borrower Representative or Agent (or Lender granting a participation) as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender (or Participant) is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements under the Code; (ii) each Lender (or Participant) that is not a "United States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a "Non-U.S. Recipient") shall deliver to Borrower Representative and Agent (or any Lender granting a participation in case the Non-U.S. Recipient is a Participant) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Person becomes a party to this Agreement or a Participant (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower Representative or Agent but only if such Non-U.S. Recipient is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: (A) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party; (B) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI; (C) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation; (D) each Non-U.S. Recipient claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, shall provide (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Recipient is not (1) a "bank" within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a "10 percent shareholder" of Borrowers within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN; and/or (E) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable exemption from or a reduction in United supplementary documentation as may be law (including FATCA) as a basis for claiming States Federal withholding tax together with such prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower -66-

Representative or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. Each Non-U.S. Recipient shall promptly notify Borrower Representative and Agent (or any Lender granting a participation if the Non-U.S. Recipient is a Participant) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. 14. AGENT 14.1. Appointment. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its agent and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (b) execute and deliver as Agent, each Loan Document, including the Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document; (c) make Loans, for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) act as collateral agent for Lenders for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein and execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents; (e) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; (f) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute payments and proceeds of the Collateral as provided in the Loan Documents, (g) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents, (h) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or under any Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise, including the determination of eligibility of Accounts and Inventory, the necessity and amount of Reserves and all other determinations and decisions relating to ordinary course administration of the credit facilities contemplated hereunder; and (i) incur and pay such expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents, whether or not any Loan Party is obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and the Loan Parties shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" as used herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any similar term) with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. 14.2. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as Agent hereunder, if it is a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof as if it were not Agent hereunder without notice to or consent of the other Lenders. 14.3. Duties and Obligations. Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders, and, (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any -67-

successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor, unless otherwise agreed by Borrower Representative and such successor.

Non-Reliance. (a) Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender further acknowledges the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person, any arranger of this credit facility or any amendment thereto or any other Lender and based on such due diligence, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder.

the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. Each Lender acknowledges that Agent does not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing to provide such Lender with any credit or other information with respect to any Borrower, its Affiliates or any of their respective business, legal, financial or other affairs, and irrespective of whether such information came into Agent's or its Affiliates’ or representatives’ possession before or after the date on which such Lender became a party to this Agreement. (b) Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) it has requested a copy of each appraisal, audit or field examination report prepared by or on behalf of Agent; (ii) Agent (A) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any such report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to any such report and (B) shall not be liable for any information contained in any such report; (iii) such reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties' books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties' personnel and that Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement such reports; (iv) it will keep all such reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share any such report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (v) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, (A) it will hold Agent and any such other Person preparing any such report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any such report in connection with any extension of credit that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to any Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender's participation in, or the indemnifying Lender's purchase of, a Loan or Loans; and (B) it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and any such other Person preparing any such report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorneys' fees of both internal and external counsel) of Agent or any such other Person as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any such report through the indemnifying Lender. 14.8. Not Partners or Co-Venturers; Agent as Representative of the Secured Parties. (a) The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in the case of Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender. Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. (b) In its capacity, Agent is a "representative" of the Lenders within the meaning of the term "secured party" as defined in the UCC. Each Lender authorizes Agent to enter into each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents. Each Lender agrees that no Lender (other than Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by Agent for the benefit of the Lenders upon the terms of the Loan Documents. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Obligations, Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Lenders any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of Agent on behalf of the Lenders. (c) Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with -70-

GRAPHIC

 

Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the UCC can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders (i) to verify or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower or its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, (ii) to verify or assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (iii) to verify or assure that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof, (iv) to impose, maintain, increase, reduce, implement or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or to determine whether the amount of any reserve is appropriate or not, or (v) to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, 14.9. Credit Bidding. The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to Credit Bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (and the Loan Parties shall approve Agent as a qualified bidder and such Credit Bid as qualified bid) at any sale thereof conducted by Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, under any provisions of the UCC, as part of any sale or investor solicitation process conducted by any Loan Party, any interim receiver, receiver, receiver and manager, administrative receiver, trustee, agent or other Person pursuant or under any insolvency laws; provided, however, that (i) the Required Lenders may not direct Agent in any manner that does not treat each of the Lenders equally, without preference or discrimination, in respect of consideration received as a result of the Credit Bid, (ii) the acquisition documents shall be commercially reasonable and contain customary protections for minority holders such as among other things, anti-dilution and tag-along rights, (iii) the exchanged debt or equity securities must be freely transferable, without restriction (subject to applicable securities laws) and (iv) reasonable efforts shall be made to structure the acquisition in a manner that causes the governance documents pertaining thereto to not impose any obligations or liabilities upon the Lenders individually (such as indemnification obligations). Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by any entities used to consummate such Credit Bid or purchase and in connection therewith Agent may reduce the Obligations owed to the Lenders (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) based upon the value of such non-cash consideration. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term "Credit Bid" shall mean, an offer submitted by Agent (on behalf of the Lender group), based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to acquire the property of any Loan Party or any portion thereof in exchange for and in full and final satisfaction of all or a portion (as determined by Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) of the claims and Obligations under this Agreement and other Loan Documents. 14.10. Certain Collateral Matters. The Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (a) to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Loans and all other obligations of Borrowers hereunder; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder (including the release of any guarantor); or (iii) subject to Section 15.5 if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; or (ii) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by clause (a) of the definition of Permitted Liens (it being understood that Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from Borrower Representative in determining whether the Indebtedness secured by any such Lien is permitted hereunder). Upon request by Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent's authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 14.10. Agent may, and at the direction of Required Lenders shall, give blockage notices in connection with any -71-

subordinated debt and each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to give such notices. Each Lender further agrees that it will not act unilaterally to deliver such notices. 14.11. Restriction on Actions by Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent, and shall, upon the written request of Agent (to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so), set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to a Loan Party or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken, any action, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to foreclose any loan or otherwise enforce any security interest in any of the Collateral or to enforce all or any part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. All Enforcement Actions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any third party with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral may only be taken by Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) or by its agents at the direction of Agent. 14.12. Expenses. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from payments or proceeds of the Collateral received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by a Loan Party, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to Agent such Lender’s ratable share thereof. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including Agent Professional fees and expenses) 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 or any other Loan Document to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent. 14.13. Notice of Default or Event of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Event of Default. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement; provided, that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable. 14.14. Liability of Agent. None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.

Waivers.

Except as Agent may otherwise agree, any such assignment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or, if less, the remaining Commitment and Loans held by the assigning Lender (provided, that an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum assignment limitations). The Loan Parties and Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until Agent shall have received and accepted an effective Assignment and Assumption executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no assignment may be made to any equity holder of a Loan Party, any Affiliate of any equity holder of a Loan Party, any Loan Party, any holder of Term Loan Debt of a Loan Party (other than as a result of exercising the purchase option under Section 3 of the Intercreditor Agreement), any holder of any debt that is secured by liens or security interests that have been contractually subordinated to the liens and security interests securing the Obligations, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent may be withheld in Agent's sole discretion and, in any event, if granted, may be conditioned on such terms and conditions as Agent shall require in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, a limitation on the aggregate amount of Loans and Commitments which may be held by such Person and/or its Affiliates and/or limitations on such Person's and/or its Affiliates' voting and consent rights and/or rights to attend Lender meetings or obtain information provided to other Lenders. Any attempted assignment not made in accordance with this Section 15.10 shall be null and void. Each Borrower shall be deemed to have granted its consent to any assignment requiring its consent hereunder unless Borrower Representative has expressly objected to such assignment within five (5) Business Days after notice thereof. (b) From and after the date on which the conditions described in Section 15.10(a) above have been met, (i) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such Assignee pursuant to the applicable Assignment and Assumption, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to the applicable Assignment and Assumption, shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder. Upon the request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment and Assumption, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Agent for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) a promissory note in the principal amount of the Assignee's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (and, as applicable, a promissory note in the principal amount of the Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Revolving Commitment retained by the assigning Lender).

Agent shall not incur any liability of any kind with respect to any Lender with respect to the maintenance of the Register. Each Lender granting a participation shall, as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register containing information similar to that of the Register in a manner such that the loans hereunder are in "registered form" for the purposes of the Code. This Section and Section 19.1.2 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in "registered form" for the purpose of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions). 15.10. Participations. Anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without in any manner affecting or impairing the validity of any Obligations, sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loans, commitments or other interests hereunder or under any other Loan Document (any such Person, a "Participant"). In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (a) such Lender's obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (b) Borrowers and such Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with each other in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (c) all amounts payable by Borrowers shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender; provided, that a Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13 as if it were a Lender if Borrower Representative is notified of the Participation and the Participant complies with Section 13. Each Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement or any other Loan Document are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided, that such right of set-off shall not be exercised without the prior written consent of such Lender and shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with such Lender its share thereof. Each Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 15.9 as if it were a Lender. Notwithstanding the granting of any such participating interests, (i) Borrowers shall look solely to the applicable Lender for all purposes of this Agreement, the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) Borrowers shall at all times have the right to rely upon any amendments, waivers or consents signed by the applicable Lender as being binding upon all of the Participants and (iii) all communications in respect of this Agreement and such transactions shall remain solely between Borrowers and the applicable Lender (exclusive of Participants) hereunder. If a Lender grants a participation hereunder, such Lender shall maintain, as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, a register as to the participations granted and transferred under this Section containing the same information specified in Section 15.9 on the Register as if each Participant were a Lender to the extent required to cause the Loans to be in registered form for the purposes of Sections 163(F), 165(J), 871, 881, and 4701 of the Code. 15.11. Headings; Construction. Section and subsection headings are used in this Agreement only for convenience and do not affect the meanings of the provisions that they precede. 15.12.

The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the Prepayment Fees and Make Whole Interest set forth in this Section 2.3(b) are not intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Borrower or any other Loan Party Obligor for any such payment, repayment, redemption or prepayment.

(d) Each payment by the Borrower and the other Loan Party Obligors to the Secured Parties in respect of the Obligations shall be applied (i) first, ratably to all fees, costs and expenses (including any attorneys’ fees) owed to any Secured Party under the Loan Documents, but only to the extent such fees, costs and expenses have been invoiced and are due and payable, (ii) second, ratably to accrued and unpaid interest owed to the Lenders and any other Secured Parties, (iii) third, ratably to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans owed to the Lenders (including any Prepayment Fees and Make Whole Interest with respect thereto and any applicable Exit Payment with respect thereto), and, (iv) fourth, to all other Obligations owing to any Secured Party; provided that voluntary prepayments of principal shall be applied against, and reduce, principal payments in the order specified in Section 2.3(e); and, provided, further, that during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, payments shall be applied as determined by the Required Lenders in their sole discretion.

Lender, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the applicable Lender(s) setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to Borrower or the applicable Loan Party Obligor shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(a) This Agreement shall bind and inure to the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties, except that (a) none the Borrower, the other Loan Party Obligors and the Other Obligors may assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Lenders and any such prohibited assignment or transfer is absolutely void ab initio; and (b) absent a Default or an Event of Default the Lenders may not assign or otherwise transfer all or part of their rights under the Loan Documents to any Person other than an investment fund managed by Deerfield Management, L.P. or any Affiliate or related fund of any of the Secured Parties, without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Before any Lender assigns all or any part of its rights under this Agreement or the Notes to a party other than an investment fund managed by Deerfield Management, L.P. (or any Affiliate or related fund of any of the Secured Parties), or there are more than five (5) Lenders, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to appoint an administrative agent providing such agent and the Parties with rights and duties customary among syndicated credit facilities. Upon a Lender’s assignment of a Note in accordance with the foregoing sentence, such Lender shall provide notice of a permitted transfer to Borrower for recordation in the Register pursuant to Section 1.4. Upon receipt of a notice of a transfer of an interest in a Note, Borrower shall record the identity of the transferee and other relevant information in the Register and the transferee shall (to the extent of the interests transferred to such transferee) have all the rights and obligations of, and shall be deemed, a Lender hereunder. (b) The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the Securities may be pledged by a holder thereof in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan, financing or Indebtedness secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities under the Loan Documents, and no such holder effecting any such pledge of Securities shall be required to provide any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries with any notice thereof or otherwise 77 141540134

The Loan Parties hereby agree to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by a holder of Securities. Section 6.6 EntireAgreement. TheLoanDocumentscontaintheentire understanding of the Parties with respect to the matters covered thereby and supersede any and all other written and oral communications, negotiations, commitments and writings with respect thereto (including, without limitation, any agreement on the reimbursement of costs, etc. referenced in Section 2.9). The provisions of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the authorized officer of each of Borrower and the Required Lenders. Section 6.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. Section 6.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and by each Party on separate counterparts, each of which and any photocopies and facsimile copies thereof shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Section 6.9 Survival. (a) This Agreement and all agreements, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents, and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant thereto or in connection therewith shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loan hereunder, and shall continue in force until payment in full of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification or reimbursement obligations or other obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of this Agreement), and the Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of making the Loan, any Event of Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that the Lenders may have had notice or knowledge of any such Event of Default or may have had notice or knowledge that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Disbursement was made. (b) The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 1.4 and 2.5 and the obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders under this Article 6 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loan, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 78 141540134

Section 6.10No Waiver. Neither the failure of, nor any delay on the part of, any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any waiver of any right, power, privilege or default hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, constitute a waiver of any other right, power, privilege or default or constitute a waiver of any default of the same or of any other term or provision. No course of dealing and no delay in exercising, or omission to exercise, any right, power or remedy accruing to the Lenders upon any default under this Agreement, or any other agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the action of the Lenders in respect of any such default, or any acquiescence by it therein, affect or impair any right, power or remedy of the Lenders in respect of any other default. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by law. Section 6.11Indemnity. (a) The Borrower, each Loan Party and Other Obligor shall, at all times, indemnify and hold each Secured Party harmless (the “Indemnity”) and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) in connection with any losses, claims (including the reasonable documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees incurred in defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties, or other expenses arising out of, or relating to, the Loan Documents, the extension of credit hereunder or the Loan or the use of the Loan, which an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject, but excluding all Taxes (each, a “Loss”). The Indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction issues a final judgment that such Loss resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Person. The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to any other agreement of Borrower under any Loan Document to pay any amount to the Secured Parties, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this subsection shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section hereof or under any other agreement. (b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Loss in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying person under this Section 6.11, deliver to Borrower a written notice of the commencement thereof, and Borrower shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent Borrower so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof. (c) An Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the documented reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses to be paid by the indemnifying person, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Person, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and Borrower would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified 79 141540134

Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Borrower shall pay for only one separate such legal counsel for all of the Indemnified Persons. The failure of an Indemnified Person to deliver written notice to the Borrower within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Borrower of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11, except to the extent that Borrower is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6.11 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable. (d)In no circumstance will any of the Indemnified Persons be liable for lost profits or other special, punitive, or consequential damages. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, this Section 6.11 shall remain operative even after the payment in full of the Obligations. Section 6.12No Usury. The Loan Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be deemed excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Loan, or if such deemed excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan, such deemed excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loan until payment in full so that the deemed rate of interest on account of the Loan is uniform throughout the term thereof. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement and the Notes. Section 6.13Further Assurances.From time to time, the Borrower and the other Loan Party Obligors shall perform (and shall cause their Subsidiaries to perform) any and all acts and execute and deliver to the Secured Parties such additional agreements, instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by any Secured Party to carry out the purposes of any Loan Document or to preserve and protect the Secured Parties’ rights and remedies as contemplated herein and therein. Section 6.14Confidentiality. Subject to Section 5.1(xiii), Lenders agree that they will hold any confidential information they may receive from Borrower in connection with the Loan Documents in confidence, unless such confidential information (a) is known or becomes known to the public in general (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 6.14 by Lenders), (b) is or has been independently developed or conceived by Lenders without use of Borrower’s confidential information, or (c) is or has been made known or disclosed to Lender by a third party without a breach of any obligation of confidentiality such third party may have to 80 141540134

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document: (i) the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents and the exercise of any right related to any collateral hereunder or thereunder shall be subject, in each case, to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) in the event of any conflict between the express terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, on the one hand, and of the Intercreditor Agreement, on the other hand, the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement shall control, (iii) any collateral (including the Collateral) under the Loan Documents held by (or in the possession or control of) the ABL Agent (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement) (or its agents or bailees) shall be held as agent and bailee for security, Lien perfection and control purposes in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Loan Documents, and (iv) each Lender hereunder authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent to execute the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender, and such Lender agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. (b) Each Lender hereunder authorizes and instructs the Collateral Agent, as the Collateral Agent and on behalf of such Lender, to enter into one or more intercreditor agreements (including the Intercreditor Agreement) from time to time pursuant to, or as contemplated by, the terms of this Agreement and agrees that it will be bound by the terms and provisions thereof and will take no actions contrary to the terms and provisions thereof. (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of (i) the Obligations of the Loan Parties under this Agreement, (ii) the Lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including priority thereof), (iii) the release of Collateral from the Lien granted and created by the Loan Documents and (iv) the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents are, in each case, subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) All shares of Common Stock issued and delivered pursuant to this Section 4 shall be Freely Tradeable Shares (and for the avoidance of doubt, only Freely Tradeable Shares shall be deemed to constitute Interest Payment Shares or Daily Issuance Shares and be applied to any Credit Amount). In connection with the issuance and delivery of any shares of Common Stock to the Lenders pursuant to this Section 4, the Borrower shall deliver to the transfer agent for its Common Stock, by no later than (i) the last Business Day prior to the Interest Payment Date for which a Share Issuance Notice has been delivered to provide for the satisfaction of interest or (ii) the first Principal Share Issuance Closing Date for each Issuance Period in respect of a Share Issuance Notice delivered to provide for the satisfaction of principal, as applicable, an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Lenders, substantially in the form attached as Annex 1 to this Exhibit, relating to all shares of Common Stock to be issued and delivered to the Lenders as Freely Tradeable Shares, and such other instructions, documents and instruments as may be reasonably required by such transfer agent in connection with the issuance to the Lenders of Freely Tradeable Shares on the Interest Payment Date or during such Issuance Period, as applicable. Copies of such instructions, documents and instruments shall be provided to the Lenders promptly upon a request therefor. 5. Limitations on Share Issuances. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (a)The Borrower shall not issue to any Lender, and no Lender may acquire, a number of shares of Common Stock hereunder to the extent that, upon such issuance, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Lender and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Lender’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Lender is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities (including the Notes) that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or acquire similar to the limitation set forth herein), would exceed 4.985% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “4.985% Cap”). For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage held by each Lender shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. All Share Issuance Notices shall set forth the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Upon written request of any Lender at any time, the Borrower shall, within one (1) Business Day, confirm orally and in writing to such Lender the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. At any time following delivery of a Share Issuance Notice and ending on the last Trading Day prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date or any applicable Principal Share Issuance Closing Date, each Lender shall have the right to deliver notice to the Borrower (a “Cap Notice”) (and, if applicable, shall be entitled to include such Cap Notice in a Daily Share Notice) stating the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to such Lender without exceeding the maximum number of shares that such Lender may receive under the 4.985% Cap (the “Maximum Share Amount”), which shall be Ex.2.3-6 141540134

(b) The Borrower shall not deliver more than one Share Issuance Notice on any day. Following the delivery of any Share Issuance Notice, from and after the delivery thereof, the Borrower shall not deliver a subsequent Share Issuance Notice until three (3) Trading Days following: (i) if the first such Share Issuance Notice provides for the satisfaction of interest through the issuance of Freely Tradeable Shares, the date all of the interest payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date shall have been satisfied in full and (ii) if the first such Share Issuance Notice provides for the satisfaction of principal through the issuance of Freely Tradeable Shares, the date that the Borrower shall have delivered a number of Freely Tradeable Shares equal to the Daily Issuance Shares for each Trading Day during the applicable Issuance Period and satisfied its obligation to pay (in cash) the Prepayment Fees and Make Whole Interest applicable to the principal repaid pursuant to such Share Issuance Notice.

If, as of the end of the Issuance Period in respect of any such Share Issuance Notice, the Share Issuance Amount, as increased in accordance with this paragraph, exceeds the sum of the applicable Principal Credit Amounts for such Issuance Period, the Company shall pay such excess amount to the Lenders (ratably, based on their Pro Rata Shares), in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds, on the first Business Day following the end of such Issuance Period. 6. Allocation Among Lenders. All shares of Common Stock issuable to the Lenders pursuant to this Exhibit, all Credit Amounts and all Failure Amounts shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders based on each Lender’s Pro Rata Share. 7.

Schedule 3.1(q) Authorizations In April 2007, the FDA announced entry of a Consent Decree of Permanent Injunction (the “Consent Decree”), against PharmaFab, Inc., the predecessor corporation of Neos Therapeutics, Inc. (“PharmaFab”), one of PhamaFab’s subsidiaries and two of Pharmafab’s officials (collectively, the “Defendants”). The Consent Decree arose out of several perceived current Good Manufacturing Practice (“cGNP”) deficiencies related to the manufacture of unapproved drugs or Drug Efficacy Study Implementation drugs that the company no longer manufactures. Pursuant to the Consent Decree, the Defendants were permanently restrained and enjoined from directly or indirectly manufacturing, processing, packing, labeling, holding or distributing any prescription drugs that are not the subject of a new drug application or an abbreviated new drug application. To date, the consent decree has had no material impact on the company’s current business operations or its ability to pursue approval of product candidates. ACTIVE/101033086.1

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after consummation of any purchase of ABL Priority Debt in accordance with this Section 3, the Retained Interest shall be secured by the Collateral solely on a junior basis, but the ABL Lender Parties (and any other holder of the Retained Interest) shall not have any right to vote or consent to any amendment, restatement, supplement, consent, Refinancing, extension, waiver or modification except that no such amendment or termination shall without the consent of the ABL Lender Parties holding such Retained Interest provide for the termination or forgiveness, in whole or in part, of any rights of any Person with respect to the Retained Interest (and, as between each ABL Lender Party holding the Retained Interest), on one hand, and the Obligors, on the other hand). 3.6 For purposes hereof, "Triggering Event" shall mean (i) the acceleration of all or any portion of the ABL Debt, (ii) termination of the commitments to lend under the ABL Credit Agreement after the occurrence and during the continuance of an ABL Default, (iii) the commencement by any ABL Lender Party of any Enforcement Action, (iv) the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Obligor, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its properties or Equity Interests, (v) the ABL Lenders cease providing ABL Loans following the Borrower's written request therefor for a period of three (3) consecutive Business Days (other than in a case where Borrowers have insufficient borrowing availability under the ABL Credit Agreement to support such request, as determined by the ABL Agent in good faith, and the refusal to fund ABL Loans due to the failure of any condition precedent to the funding thereof contained in the ABL Credit Agreement not being satisfied), (vi) the occurrence of an ABL Default under Section 11.1(a) of the ABL Credit Agreement as a result of the failure of any Obligor to pay principal, interest or other amounts when due thereunder; (vii) the occurrence of an ABL Default under Section 11.1(c) of the ABL Credit Agreement as a result of any Obligor’s (or any of its Subsidiaries’) violation of Section 8, 9.1 or 9.2 of the ABL Credit Agreement; (viii) the occurrence of any ABL Default under Section 11.1(d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (k), (l), (n), (o), (p), (q), (r), (s) or (t) of the ABL Credit Agreement, (ix) the occurrence of any other ABL Default that has occurred and is continuing and remains unwaived during the thirty (30) day period following the occurrence of such ABL Default; (x) the occurrence of a Term Loan Default under Section 5.4(a) of the Term Credit Agreement as a result of the failure of any Obligor to pay principal, interest or other amounts when due thereunder; (xi) the occurrence of any Term Loan Default under Section 5.4 of the Term Credit Agreement as a result of any Obligor’s (or any of its Subsidiaries’) violation of Section 5.2 of the Term Credit Agreement; -32-

 

(xii) the occurrence of any Term Loan Default under Section 5.4(b) through Section 5.4(t) (other than Section 5.4(j)(i) only) of the Term Credit Agreement; or (xiii) the occurrence of any other Term Loan Default (other than a Term Loan Default under only Section 5.4(j)(i) of the Term Credit Agreement) that has occurred and is continuing and remains unwaived during the thirty (30) day period following the occurrence of such Term Loan Default. 3.7 In the event that the Term Loan Lenders elect to exercise their rights under this Section 3, the Term Loan Lenders shall have the sole option (but no obligation) to elect to purchase, together with the ABL Priority Debt, all, but not less than all, of the Excess ABL Debt from the ABL Lender Parties, in which case such purchase shall be subject to all of the foregoing terms and conditions of this Section 3. 3.8In connection with any purchase of the ABL Priority Debt (or, at the sole option of the Term Purchasing Lenders, the ABL Debt), on or after the Purchase Date, the Term Purchasing Lenders may unconditionally and irrevocably remove the Person acting at such time as the ABL Agent (the “Prior ABL Agent”) by delivering notice thereof to the Prior ABL Agent, and at or after such time, appoint any Person such Term Purchasing Lenders in their sole discretion may desire to be the ABL Agent, and the Prior ABL Agent, the ABL Lender Parties and the Obligors hereby unconditionally and irrevocably consent to any such replacement or appointment of the Prior ABL Agent without any further action. In connection with the immediately preceding sentence, the Prior ABL Agent, the ABL Lender Parties and the Obligors hereby agree to promptly take such actions and duly, execute, acknowledge and deliver such documents, agreements and instruments (in each case at Obligors' reasonable expense and not the reasonable expense of ABL Agent), reasonably requested by such Term Purchasing Lenders to effectuate the foregoing. In addition, in connection with any purchase of the ABL Priority Debt (or, at the sole option of the Term Purchasing Lenders, the ABL Debt), so long as the ABL Agent has provided written notice to the Term Purchasing Lenders within two (2) Business Days of receipt of the Purchase Notice that the ABL Agent will resign effective as of the Purchase Date (which such written notice from the ABL Agent shall be irrevocable unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Term Purchasing Lenders), on the Purchase Date, the ABL Agent shall resign as agent (including the agent capacity described in the definition of “ABL Agent” in this Agreement) under the ABL Loan Documents; provided, that, notwithstanding such resignation, ABL Agent shall retain all rights of indemnification under the ABL Loan Documents (as in effect at the time of effectiveness of such resignation, and no amendment or modification entered into after the date of such resignation shall materially adversely affect ABL Agent's rights of indemnification as in effect at the time of such resignation). ABL Agent shall (at the Obligors' expense and not at the expense of ABL Agent) promptly and duly, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further, documents, agreements and instruments as the Term Purchasing Lenders may from time to time reasonably request in order to preserve, maintain or protect the creation, perfection and/or priority of any Lien on Collateral affected by such resignation. 3.9 The ABL Agent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives the $3,500 processing fee set forth in Section 15.9(a) of the ABL Credit Agreement (and any other purchase or assignment related fee set forth in any of the ABL Loan Documents) in connection with any purchase or assignment of the ABL Priority Debt (or the ABL Debt, as applicable) in accordance with this Section 3. -33-

BANKRUPTCY 4.1 This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the filing of any petition by or against any Obligor under the Bankruptcy Code or in any other Insolvency Proceeding and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof, and all references herein to any Obligor shall be deemed to apply to the trustee (or similar Person) for such Obligor and such Obligor as debtor-in-possession (or any other similar designation). The relative rights of Lenders in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral, shall continue after the filing thereof on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Obligor as debtor-in-possession (or any other similar designation). 4.2 DIP Financing. (a) None of the Term Loan Agent or any Term Loan Lender may, directly or indirectly, seek to provide financing to the Obligors as debtor-in-possession (or any other similar designation), or consent to or support the use of cash collateral by such Person, in exchange for Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral equal or senior in priority to the Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral securing the ABL Priority Debt. None of the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender may, directly or indirectly, seek to provide financing to any Obligor as debtor-in-possession (or any other similar designation), or consent to or support the use of cash collateral by such Person, in exchange for Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral equal or senior in priority to the Liens on the Term Loan Priority Collateral securing the Term Debt. (b) If the ABL Lender Parties propose to offer financing (or consents to any other Person providing financing) to Obligors under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or similar Bankruptcy Law ("DIP Financing") during an Insolvency Proceeding secured by a Lien on ABL Priority Collateral or if ABL Agent consents to use of cash collateral (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or similar Bankruptcy Law ("Cash Collateral") constituting ABL Priority Collateral ("ABL Cash Collateral"), the Term Loan Agent (on behalf of itself and the other Term Loan Lender Parties) agrees to consent to (and will be deemed to have consented to) and will raise no objection to such DIP Financing or Cash Collateral use, and, Term Loan Agent will subordinate and will be deemed to have subordinated its Liens in the ABL Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing to the Liens securing such DIP Financing on the same terms (but on a basis junior to the Liens of the ABL Agent) as the Liens of the Term Loan Agent are subordinated thereto (and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement) and to any customary and reasonable carveout for professional fees and/or fees of the Office of the United States Trustee authorized in connection with such ABL Cash Collateral usage or DIP Financing so long as each of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the maximum amount of such DIP Financing (inclusive of unused commitments) provided by the ABL Lender Parties in accordance with the terms hereof, plus the aggregate combined principal amount of outstanding loans under the ABL Loan Documents, shall not exceed at any time the ABL Loan Maximum Amount; (ii) the Term Loan Agent's Liens with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral shall remain senior and prior to the Liens of ABL Agent with respect to such Term Loan Priority Collateral and the priority Liens of the Term Loan Lender Parties in the Term Loan Priority Collateral shall not be subject to any surcharges under 11 U.S.C. §§506(c), 726 or laws of similar import and shall not be subject to any carveout provided in any such DIP -34-

 

Financing, including any carveout provided to an official or unofficial committee of creditors or Office of the United States Trustee; (iii) the Term Loan Lender Parties shall otherwise have the right to object to such DIP Financing and the terms thereof, including to any ancillary agreements (without limiting the foregoing, the Term Loan Lender Parties shall be permitted to object to any specific plan of reorganization) so long as such objections are solely limited to those objections that could be made by an unsecured creditor and not a secured creditor; and (iv) such DIP Financing shall not, in any event, expressly require the liquidation of all or any portion of the Term Loan Priority Collateral prior to a default (it being agreed that the inclusion of milestones with respect to a going concern sale of all or substantially all of the Collateral under such DIP Financing shall not be deemed to constitute such a condition). The ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Lender Parties, agrees that the ABL Lender Parties shall not seek adequate protection in the form of an additional Lien or "replacement Lien" with respect to the Term Loan Priority Collateral, unless the Term Loan Lender Parties is granted adequate protection in the form of an additional Lien or "replacement Lien" on such Collateral, which additional or "replacement Lien" of ABL Agent with respect to such Term Loan Priority Collateral (if obtained) shall be subordinate to all Liens, including adequate protection Liens or "replacement Liens" of Term Loan Agent in such Collateral and subject to the Payment Waterfall. Any adequate protection granted in favor of any ABL Lender Party in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral in the form of a superpriority or other administrative expense claim and any claim in favor of any ABL Lender Party arising under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be pari passu with the grant of adequate protection in favor of any Term Loan Lender Party in respect of the Term Loan Priority Collateral in the form of a superpriority or other administrative expense claim under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any claim arising under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in favor of any ABL Lender Party in respect of the Term Loan Priority Collateral shall be pari passu with the claims arising under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in favor of any Term Loan Lender Party in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral (each a "Junior 507(b) Claim"), and in connection with any plan of reorganization, consent and agree that notwithstanding any rights under Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Junior 507(b) Claim may be paid in any combination of cash, securities or other property having a present value equal to the amount of such claims as of the effective date of confirmation of such plan (subject to the Payment Waterfall). The ABL Agent on behalf of the ABL Lender Parties agrees that no ABL Lender Party may seek adequate protection in the form of periodic cash payments from any Proceeds of Term Loan Priority Collateral. Subject to Section 4.2(c), the ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Lender Parties, agrees that the ABL Lender Parties shall not oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Term Loan Lender Parties for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of Term Debt consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien securing the Term Debt in the Term Loan Priority Collateral. (c) If the Term Loan Lender Parties propose to offer DIP Financing (or consents to any other Person providing DIP Financing) during an Insolvency Proceeding secured by a Lien on Term Loan Priority Collateral or if any of the Term Loan Lender Parties consents to use of Cash Collateral constituting Term Loan Priority Collateral (the "Term Loan Cash Collateral"), the ABL Agent (on behalf of itself and the other ABL Lender Parties) agrees to consent to (and will be deemed to have consented to) and will raise no objection to such DIP Financing or Cash Collateral use, and, ABL Agent will subordinate and will be deemed to have subordinated its Liens in the Term Loan Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing to the Liens securing -35-

 

such DIP Financing on the same terms (but on a basis junior to the Liens of the Term Loan Agent) as the Liens of the ABL Agent are subordinated thereto (and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement) and to any customary and reasonable carveout for professional fees and/or fees of the Office of the United States Trustee authorized in connection with such Term Loan Cash Collateral usage or DIP Financing so long as each of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the ABL Agent's Liens with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral shall remain senior and prior to the Liens of Term Loan Agent with respect to such ABL Priority Collateral and the priority Liens of the ABL Lender Parties in the ABL Priority Collateral shall not be subject to any surcharges under 11 U.S.C. §§506(c), 726 or laws of similar import and shall not be subject to any carveout provided in any such DIP Financing, including any carveout provided to an official or unofficial committee of creditors or Office of the United States Trustee; and (ii) such DIP Financing shall not, in any event, expressly require the liquidation of all or any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral prior to a default (it being agreed that the inclusion of milestones with respect to a going concern sale of all or substantially all of the Collateral under such DIP Financing shall not be deemed to constitute such a condition). The Term Loan Agent, on behalf of the Term Loan Lender Parties, agrees that the Term Loan Lender Parties shall not seek adequate protection in the form of an additional Lien or "replacement Lien" with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, unless ABL Agent is granted adequate protection in the form of an additional Lien or "replacement Lien" on such Collateral, which additional or "replacement Lien" of Term Loan Agent with respect to such Term Loan Priority Collateral (if obtained) shall be subordinate to all Liens, including adequate protection Liens or "replacement Liens" of ABL Agent in such Collateral (subject to the Payment Waterfall). Any adequate protection granted in favor of any Term Loan Lender Party in respect of the Term Loan Priority Collateral in the form of a superpriority or other administrative expense claim and any claim in favor of any Term Loan Lender Party arising under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be pari passu with the grant of adequate protection in favor of any ABL Lender Party in respect of the ABL Priority Collateral in the form of a superpriority or other administrative expense claim and any claim in favor of any ABL Lender Party under Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any Junior 507(b) Claim of any Term Loan Lender Party shall be pari passu with the Junior 507(b) Claims of any ABL Lender Party, and in connection with any plan of reorganization, consent and agree that notwithstanding any rights under Section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Junior 507(b) Claim may be paid in any combination of cash, securities or other property having a present value equal to the amount of such claims as of the effective date of confirmation of such plan (subject to the Payment Waterfall). The Term Loan Agent, on behalf of the Term Loan Lender Parties, agrees that no Term Loan Lender Party may seek adequate protection payments in the form of periodic cash payments from any ABL Priority Collateral. Subject to 4.2(b), the Term Loan Agent, on behalf of the Term Loan Lender Parties, agrees that the Term Loan Lender Parties shall not oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Term Loan Lender Parties for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding of ABL Debt consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Lien securing the ABL Debt in the ABL Priority Collateral. 4.3 If any Obligor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding and the Term Loan Lender Parties shall agree to permit a sale, liquidation or other disposition of the Term Loan Priority Collateral free and clear of Liens or other claims, under Section 363, 365 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then the ABL Agent, on behalf of the ABL Lender Parties, agrees that the ABL Lender Parties will not (i) raise any objection to or contest such sale, -36-

 

liquidation or other disposition or request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith, or (ii) directly or indirectly oppose or impede entry of any order in connection with such sale, liquidation or other disposition, including orders to retain professionals or set bid procedures in connection with such sale, liquidation or disposition, and the ABL Lender Parties will be deemed to have consented thereto (including pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code); provided, however, the foregoing agreements by ABL Agent shall not apply with respect to a sale, liquidation or other disposition of ABL Priority Collateral, which is subject to the provisions set forth in Section 4.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ABL Lender Parties shall be permitted to raise any objections to any such disposition that could be raised by any creditor of the Obligors whose claims were unsecured. 4.4 If any Obligor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding and the ABL Lender Parties shall agree to permit a sale, liquidation or other disposition of the ABL Priority Collateral free and clear of Liens or other claims, under Section 363, 365 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then the Term Loan Agent, on behalf of the Term Loan Lender Parties, agrees that the Term Loan Lender Parties will not (i) raise any objection to or contest such sale, liquidation or other disposition or request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith, or (ii) directly or indirectly oppose or impede entry of any order in connection with such sale, liquidation or other disposition, including orders to retain professionals or set bid procedures in connection with such sale, liquidation or disposition, and the Term Loan Lender Parties will be deemed to have consented thereto (including pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code); provided, however, the foregoing agreements by Term Loan Agent (or any other Term Loan Lender Party) shall not apply with respect to a sale, liquidation or other disposition of Term Loan Priority Collateral, which is subject to the provisions set forth in Section 4.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Term Loan Lender Parties shall be permitted to raise any objections to any such disposition that could be raised by any creditor of the Obligors whose claims were unsecured. 4.5 If, in any Insolvency Proceeding involving an Obligor, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a confirmed plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of ABL Debt and on account of Term Debt, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Debt and on account of the Term Debt are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations. The provisions of Section 1129(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code notwithstanding, the Lenders agree that they will not propose, support, or vote in favor of any plan of reorganization of an Obligor that is inconsistent with the priorities or other provisions of this Agreement. If, in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding involving an Obligor, the Term Loan Lender Parties receive any cash, debt, or equity securities on account of their Term Loan Secured Claims in respect of their interest in the ABL Priority Collateral (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, debt obligations referenced in the first sentence of this Section 4.5), the Term Loan Agent or the other Term Loan Lender Parties, as applicable, shall turn over such cash, claims, or securities to ABL Agent for application in accordance with the Payment Waterfall, unless the distribution of such cash, claims, or securities is made pursuant to a confirmed plan of reorganization of such Obligor that is accepted by the requisite affirmative vote of all classes composed of the secured claims of the ABL Lender Parties in the ABL -37-

 

Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code. If, in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding involving an Obligor, the ABL Lender Parties receive any cash, debt, or equity securities on account of their ABL Secured Claims in respect of their interest in the Term Loan Priority Collateral (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, debt obligations referenced in the first sentence of this Section 4.5), the ABL Agent or the other ABL Lender Parties, as applicable, shall turnover such cash, claims, or securities to the Term Loan Lender Parties (as directed by either the Term Loan Agent or the Term Loan Lender Parties in writing) for application in accordance with the Payment Waterfall, unless the distribution of such cash, claims, or securities is made pursuant to a confirmed plan of reorganization of such Obligor that is accepted by the requisite affirmative vote of all classes composed of the secured claims of the Term Loan Lender Parties in the Term Loan Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code. 4.6 Each of the Term Loan Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other Term Loan Lender Party, and the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of each other ABL Lender Party, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the claims and interests of the ABL Lender Parties and the Term Loan Lender Parties are not "substantially similar" within the meaning of Section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any comparable provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, (b) the grants of the Liens pursuant to the ABL Loan Documents and the Term Loan Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens, (c) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the ABL Debt is fundamentally different from the Term Debt, and vice versa, and the ABL Debt and the Term Debt must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in any Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Lender Parties and the Term Loan Lender Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of secured claims), then each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that, subject to Section 2.2 and Section 2.4, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of secured claims against the Obligors in respect of the Collateral. SECTION 5. MISCELLANEOUS 5.1 The Term Loan Agent and the Term Loan Lenders, on the one hand, and the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders, on the other hand, each hereby represents and warrants to the other Lenders that: (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Lender is within the powers of such Lender, have been duly authorized by such Lender, and do not contravene any law, any provision of any of the Documents to which such Lender is a party or any other agreement to which such Lender is a party or by which it is bound, and (ii) this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Lender, enforceable in accordance with its terms and shall be binding on it (except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by equitable principles). The ABL Agent represents and warrants to the Term Loan Lender Parties that it has been authorized by the ABL Lender Parties under the ABL Credit Agreement to enter into this Agreement on behalf of each of the ABL Lender Parties and that each ABL Lender Party is bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. -38-

 

5.2 Any amendment, restatement, supplement, modification, waiver, permit, consent or approval by any Lender of or under any provision, condition or covenant to this Agreement must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent it is set forth in writing and as to the specific facts or circumstances covered thereby. Any amendment, restatement, supplement, or other modification of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the ABL Agent and the Term Loan Lender Parties, and Obligors shall have no right to consent to any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification of this Agreement (and any such amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification of this Agreement shall be effective without any signature of any Obligor). 5.3This Agreement shall be binding upon each Lender and its respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Lender and its respective successors, participants and assigns. In connection with any participation or other transfer or assignment of the ABL Debt or the Term Debt, a Lender shall disclose to such participant or other transferee or assignee the existence and terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the case of any participation or other transfer or assignment the participant, assignee or transferee acquiring any interest in the Term Debt or the ABL Debt, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the ABL Agent or the Term Loan Lender Parties, respectively, a written acknowledgment of receipt of a copy of this Agreement and the written agreement by such Person to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. The ABL Credit Agreement shall provide that at all times the ABL Agent has the power and authority to bind the ABL Lender Parties for which it acts as agent to the terms of this Agreement and to act as agent for the ABL Lender Parties in respect of receiving all notices to be delivered to an ABL Lender Party hereunder. 5.4 In connection with any assignment or transfer of any or all of the indebtedness of the ABL Lender Parties or any or all rights of ABL Lender Parties in the property of the Obligors (other than pursuant to a participation) that is permitted by this Agreement (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the exercise of the purchase option in Section 3), the Term Loan Lender Parties agree to execute and deliver an agreement identical to this Agreement (subject to changing names of parties, documents and addresses, as appropriate) in favor of any such permitted assignee or transferee and, in addition, will execute and deliver an agreement identical to this Agreement (subject to changing names of parties, documents and addresses, as appropriate) in favor of any permitted third person who succeeds to or Refinances, replaces or substitutes for any or all of the ABL Lender Parties' financing of the Borrowers in a manner that is expressly permitted by this Agreement, whether such successor or replacement financing occurs by transfer, assignment, "takeout" or any other means or vehicle, so long as, in each case, it is permitted by this Agreement. In connection with any assignment or transfer of any or all of the indebtedness of the Term Loan Agent and the Term Loan Lenders or any or all rights of the Term Loan Agent and the Term Loan Lenders in the property of any Obligor (other than pursuant to a participation) that is permitted by this Agreement, the ABL Lender Parties agree to execute and deliver an agreement identical to this Agreement (subject to changing names of parties, documents and addresses, as appropriate) in favor of any such permitted assignee or transferee and, in addition, will execute and deliver an agreement identical to this Agreement (subject to changing names of parties, documents and addresses, as appropriate) in favor of any permitted third person who succeeds to or Refinances, replaces or substitutes for any or all of the Term Loan Agent's and the Term Loan Lenders' financing of any Obligor in a manner that is expressly permitted by this Agreement, whether such successor or replacement financing occurs -39-

 

by transfer, assignment, "takeout" or any other means or vehicle, so long as, in each case, it is permitted by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Lender shall assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any of the Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries. 5.5(a)The ABL Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that it holds Liens in and on any of the Collateral in its possession or under its control (or, in each case, in the possession or under the control of its representatives), in its capacity as collateral agent on behalf of each of itself and the Term Loan Agent for the benefit of the Term Loan Lender Parties, respectively, including, without limitation, Liens on deposit accounts, securities accounts, commodity accounts, lockboxes or other similar accounts and the Term Loan Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that it holds Liens in and on any of the Collateral in its possession or under its control (or in the possession or under the control of its representatives), in its capacity as collateral agent on behalf of each of itself and the ABL Agent for the benefit of the ABL Lenders, respectively, including, without limitation, Liens on deposit accounts deposit accounts, securities accounts, commodity accounts, lockboxes or other similar accounts; provided, that, the Lender in the possession or control of any Collateral shall not have any duty or liability to protect or preserve any rights pertaining to such Collateral, or any obligation to the non-possessing or non-controlling Lenders with respect to such Collateral other than as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5, and, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, each non-possessing or non-controlling Lender hereby waives and releases each of the other Lenders from, all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to the possessing or controlling Lender's role as collateral agent with respect to the Collateral.
