(a) The Employee timely shall pay to the Company such amount as the Company may be required, under all applicable federal, state, local or other laws or regulations, to withhold and pay over as income or other withholding taxes (the “Required Tax Payments”) with respect to the Award. If the Employee shall fail to timely advance the Required Tax Payments, the Company may, in its discretion, deduct any Required Tax Payments from any amount then or thereafter payable by the Company or any Affiliate to the Employee.


Regardless of any action the Company or Employee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all Tax-Related Items, Employee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by Employee is and remains Employee’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer.

Employee also understands that applicable law may require varying Share or Option valuation methods for purposes of calculating Tax-Related Items, and the Company assumes no responsibility or liability in relation to any such valuation or for any calculation or reporting of income or Tax-Related Items that may be required of Optionee under applicable laws. Further, if Employee has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, Employee acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in the event that an Issuing Bank shall have provided to the Administrative Agent a written consent to the release of the Lenders from their obligations hereunder with respect to any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (whether as a result of such Letter of Credit being a Collateralized Letter of Credit or otherwise), then from and after such time such Letter of Credit shall cease to be a “Letter of Credit” outstanding hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including for purposes of determining whether the Company is required to comply with Articles V and VI hereof, but excluding Sections 2.16, 2.17, 2.18 and 9.03 and any expense reimbursement or indemnity provisions set forth in any other Loan Document), and the Lenders shall be deemed to have no participations in such Letter of Credit, and no obligations with respect thereto, under Section 2.06(d) or 2.06(e).

Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(g), no Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents that have not been effectively waived as of the Closing Date. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.1(g), the issuance and sale of the Shares and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including by Section 4.13 and Article VI, will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchasers) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. The Company has not issued any capital stock since its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, other than pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options under the Company’s stock option plans and pursuant to the conversion and/or exercise of Common Stock Equivalents outstanding as of the date of the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act.

Upon the funding of the 2017 Replacement Term Loans on the 2017 Replacement Term Loan Facility Effective Date, the 2017 Replacement Term Loans shall constitute, on the terms provided in the 2017 Replacement Term Loan Amendment, Term Loans hereunder.


In the event of a Change in Control, a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company or other reorganization of the Company (each, a " Covered Transaction "), if the successor corporation, or a parent of the successor corporation, does not assume each outstanding Award or substitute the Award with an equivalent option or right (or if the Company is the surviving entity in the Covered Transaction, the Covered Transaction does not result in a continuation of the Award by the Company), any of the foregoing of which may be done on an Award-by-Award basis, then a Participant shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Award as to all of the Stock as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, and all restrictions and conditions outstanding on the Award shall be met. If an Award becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Covered Transaction (or in lieu of continuation of the outstanding Award by the Company if the Company is the surviving entity in the Covered Transaction), then the Committee shall notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Award shall be fully vested and exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Award shall terminate upon the expiration of such period. For purposes of this Section 11.2, the Award shall be considered assumed if, following the Covered Transaction, the option or right confers the right to purchase or receive, for each share of Stock subject to the Award immediately prior to the Covered Transaction, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in the Covered Transaction for each share of Stock held on the effective date of the Covered Transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Stock); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Covered Transaction is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent, then the Committee may, with the consent of the successor corporation or its parent, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Award, for each share of Stock subject to the Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Stock in the Covered Transaction.


If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without implication that the following is required or applicable), it is the intention of the parties that in no event shall amounts and value paid by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (as the case may be), or payable to or received by any of the Buyers, under the Transaction Documents (including without limitation, any amounts that would be characterized as “interest” under applicable law) exceed amounts permitted under any applicable law. Accordingly, if any obligation to pay, payment made to any Buyer, or collection by any Buyer pursuant the Transaction Documents is finally judicially determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of such Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable law. Such adjustment shall be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing or refunding, at the option of such Buyer, the amount of interest or any other amounts which would constitute unlawful amounts required to be paid or actually paid to such Buyer under the Transaction Documents. For greater certainty, to the extent that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or received by such Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of “interest” or another applicable term to otherwise be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which they relate.


This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company or any of the Guarantors shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the judgment of the Representative, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum.


Each of the Loan Parties shall not and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries to at any time create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any of its property or assets, tangible or intangible, now owned or hereafter acquired, or agree or become liable to do so, except Permitted Liens.


This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which collectively will constitute one and the same instrument.


This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and may delivered personally or by facsimile or electronic transmission, and each counterpart will have the same force and effect as an original and will constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned parties.

In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events relating to the Common Stock contemplated by Section 14.2 of the Plan (including, without limitation, an extraordinary cash dividend on such Common Stock), the Administrator may make such adjustments as the Administrator deems appropriate in the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Units and the kind of securities that may be issued upon settlement. Participant acknowledges that the Units are subject to adjustment, modification and termination in certain events as provided in this Agreement, each Award Supplement and the Plan, including Section 14.2 of the Plan.


None of the reports, financial statements, certificates or other written information (other than projections, other forward-looking information and information of a general economic or industry specific nature) furnished by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with this Agreement or delivered hereunder (as modified or supplemented by other written information so furnished), when taken as a whole, contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Borrower represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time prepared (it being understood and agreed that actual results may vary materially from the projections). As of the Effective Date, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, the information included in any Beneficial Ownership Certification provided on or prior to the Effective Date (if any) to any Lender in connection with this Agreement is true and correct in all respects.


If at any time (i) the aggregate amount of the outstanding Revolving Loans of any Lender exceeds the amount of such Lender’s Commitments, or (ii) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans exceeds the Aggregate Commitment, the Borrower shall immediately make a payment on the Revolving Loans sufficient to eliminate such excess. The outstanding Revolving Loans and all other unpaid Obligations under this Agreement and the Related Documents shall be paid in full by the Borrower on the Termination Date.


Neither this Agreement nor any of the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements herein or therein not misleading. The Borrower’s confirmation under Section 5.1(o) of the beneficial ownership with respect to any Loan Party that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” is true and correct in all respects.

The Company and Buyer waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other agreement delivered in connection herewith is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of any agreement. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any suit, action or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.


The laws of West Virginia shall govern the validity and construction of this agreement and any dispute arising out of or relating to this agreement, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.

The Investors’ remedies provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Investors’ remedies provided in Section 9, shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available to the Investors under this Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy of any of the Investors contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit any Investor’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Investors and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee without regard to any provision (including conflicts of law provisions) which would require the application of the law of any state other than the State of Tennessee. All disputes arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be determined by actions filed in the courts within the State of Tennessee. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court of the Western District of Tennessee and any appellate court thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such District Court.

All authorizations, consents, approvals and licenses required under applicable law or regulation for the ownership or operation of the property owned or operated by Guarantor, or for the conduct of any business in which it is engaged have been duly issued and are in full force and effect, except in each case to the extent that failure of the foregoing to be duly issued and in full force and effect would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Guarantor is not in default, nor has any event occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, under any of the terms or provisions of any part thereof, or under any order, decree, ruling, regulation, closing agreement or other decision or instrument of any governmental commission, bureau or other administrative agency or public regulatory body having jurisdiction over Guarantor, which default would have a Material Adverse Effect on Guarantor.

In the event of the termination of the Employee’s employment with the Company prior to the Maturity Date due to death, the Employee’s pro rata portion of the Award (if any) determined to have been earned out pursuant to Section 4(a) herein shall be delivered to the beneficiary designated by the Employee (or if the Employee has not designated a beneficiary, to the representative of the Employee’s estate), not later than March 15, in the year immediately following the year in which death occurred, or where additional time is needed for administrative reasons, at such later time as is permitted under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”).


Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.6 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the Termination Date.
