the “Note Purchase Agreement”), by and among Intermediate Holdco, the Issuer,
the Subsidiary Guarantors from time to time party thereto, the Purchasers from
time to time party thereto and Agent.

 

B.       The Issuer intends to refinance and prepay in full all indebtedness and

C.       In connection with the Refinancing, the Issuer has requested that the
Purchasers agree to certain amendments and modifications to the Existing Note
Purchase Agreement, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

D.       The Required Purchasers have consented to Issuer’s request as described
above.

 

NOW THEREFORE, with the foregoing background hereinafter deemed incorporated by
reference herein and made part hereof, the parties hereto, intending to be
legally bound, promise and agree as follows:

 

1. Amendments to Existing Note Purchase Agreement. Effective as of the Sixth

as follows:

and by deleting the language indicted by struck through text in Exhibit A
hereto.

 

(b)       Each of the Schedules to the Amended Note Purchase Agreement is hereby
amended and restated in its entirety with the information contained in the
correspondingly numbered Schedule attached as Annex A hereto; provided that any
reference in the Amended Note Purchase Agreement or any other Note Document to
any such Schedule setting forth information thereon as of the Sixth Amendment
Closing Date shall be deemed to be, solely with respect to such supplemental
information, a reference to such Schedule setting forth information as of the
date of this Amendment.

 

 

2.       Representations and Warranties. Each of the Note Parties hereby:

 

(a)       reaffirms all representations and warranties made to Agent and
Purchasers under the Note Purchase Agreement and each of the other Note
Documents, and confirms that such representations and warranties are true and
correct in all material respects (except to the extent any such representation
or warranty is already qualified as to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or
similar language, in which case each such representation or warranty (after
giving effect to any qualification therein) is true and correct in all respects)
on and as of the date hereof (other than any representation or warranty that
expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case each such representation or
warranty is true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date);

Agreement and covenants to abide thereby until all Obligations and other
liabilities of Note Parties to Agent and Purchasers, of whatever nature and
whenever incurred, are satisfied and/or released by Agent and Purchasers;

(c)       represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Note Purchase
Agreement or any of the other Note Documents;

(d)       represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, no event or
development has occurred since the Closing Date which has had or is reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

(e)       represents and warrants that (i) such Note Party has full power,
authority and legal right to enter into this Amendment and all other agreements,
instruments or other documents related hereto and to perform all of its
respective Obligations under the Note Documents as amended hereby and thereby,
(ii) this Amendment and all other agreements, instruments or other documents
required hereby, if any, have been duly executed and delivered by each Note
Party, and this Amendment and the Note Documents as amended hereby and by any
such agreements, instruments or documents required hereby constitute the legal,
valid and binding obligation of such Note Party enforceable in accordance with
their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally, (iii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and

of the provisions of or constitute a default under or result in the creation of
any Lien except Permitted Encumbrances upon any asset of such Note Party and its

to exceed such Purchaser’s Delayed Draw Commitment, in the amounts and at the
purchase price set forth on Schedule 1.1 (or the ratable portion of such
purchase price in respect of the amount of the Delayed Draw Notes issued on any
Delayed Draw Funding Date). Principal amounts of the Delayed Draw Notes that are
repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

(b)       The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any Delayed Draw Notes
purchased by the Purchasers shall have the same pricing and terms as the Term
Notes purchased on the Closing Date, and, once purchased, shall be deemed to be

Period in an amount not to exceed such Purchaser’s Delayed Draw Commitment. Each
issuance of Delayed Draw Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount for all
Delayed Draw Notes issued in such issuance of not less than $20,000,000 and the
aggregate amount of the Delayed Draw Notes purchased by all Purchasers during
the Delayed Draw Availability Period shall not exceed $50,000,000. Each Delayed
Draw Notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the requested date of the
issuance of such Delayed Draw Notes (which shall be a Business Day) (each a
“Delayed Draw Funding Date”) and (ii) the principal amount of such Delayed Draw
Notes to be issued and purchased. Following the purchase of the Delayed Draw
Notes, each Purchaser’s Delayed Draw Commitment shall be reduced by the amount
purchased by such Purchaser. The Issuer may not issue more than two Delayed Draw
Notices during the Delayed Draw Availability Period.

(c)       On the Delayed Draw Funding Date, the Issuer will deliver to the
Purchasers the Delayed Draw Notes (in such permitted domination or dominations
and registered in its name or the name of such nominee or nominees as the
Purchasers may request) against payment of the purchase price therefor by
intra-bank or federal funds wire transfer of same day funds to such bank
accounts as the Issuer designates at least one Business Day prior to the Delayed
Draw Funding Date.

(d)       The Issuer may terminate all or any portion of the Delayed Draw
Commitments at any time, and from time to time, during the Delayed Draw
Availability Period, in each case without premium or penalty, upon not less than
one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice to Agent and the Purchasers.

(e)       In connection with any purchase and sale of Delayed Draw Notes on a
Delayed Draw Funding Date, the primary purpose of which is to finance a
Permitted Acquisition, notwithstanding the conditions set forth in Section 8.3
and set forth in clause (f) of the defined term “Permitted Acquisition”, the
Purchasers may agree in an amendment to the Agreement signed solely by such
Purchasers and the Issuer, to waive in full or in part the conditions set forth
in clauses (a) and (b) (other than with respect to any Event of Default under
Section 10.1 or Sections 10.7 or 10.8) of Section 8.3 and the condition set

(a)       Term Notes. The Issuer shall repay to Agent for the ratable account of
each Purchaser holding Notes (1) on the last Business Day of each March, June,
September and December, commencing with December 31, 2014, an aggregate
principal amount equal to $937,500 (which amount shall be reduced as a result of
the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set
forth in Section 2.5 below and which amount shall be increased as set forth in
clauses (b) and (c) below) and (2) on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal
amount of all Notes outstanding on such date.

(b)       Delayed Draw Notes. For any issuance of Delayed Draw Notes, the amount
of any quarterly payment set forth in clause (a)(1) above shall be increased in
an amount equal to 0.625% of the original aggregate principal amount of Delayed
Draw Notes so issued, such increase in quarterly payment to be reflected for the
first such quarterly payment to occur after the last day of the calendar quarter
in which such Delayed Draw Notes were issued.

  49

(c)       Incremental Notes. For any issuance of Incremental Notes, the amount

(a)       Subject to the terms of this Section 2.4, the Issuer may prepay the
Notes on any Business Day in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $5,000,000
and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of $5,000,000 or, in each case
such lesser amount as is then outstanding, at any time upon five (5) Business
Days’ prior written notice given to the Purchasers and the Agent by 12:00 noon
(New York City time). Any prepayment of the Notes pursuant to this Section
2.4(a) shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal
amount so repaid, if any. Any such prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4(a)
shall be applied to the remaining scheduled installments of principal on the
Notes pursuant to Section 2.3 in a manner determined at the discretion of the
Issuer and specified in the notice of prepayment (and absent such direction, in
direct order of maturity).

(b)       If any Notes are optionally prepaid pursuant to Section 2.4(a),
mandatorily prepaid pursuant to Section 2.5 (other than pursuant to clauses (a),
(b) and (c) thereof) or if a Non-Consenting Purchaser is required to sell its
Notes to an assignee pursuant to Section 16.2, such prepayments (or sale) shall
be made at (each of the following percentages, the “Prepayment Premium”) (w)
103% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes prepaid if such prepayment
occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (x) 102% of the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes prepaid if such prepayment occurs after
the first anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the second
anniversary of the Closing Date, (y) 101% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Notes prepaid if such prepayment occurs after the second anniversary of the
Closing Date and on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date and
(z) thereafter, at 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes prepaid;
provided however that such prepayment shall be made pursuant to clause (z) above
if the Notes are prepaid (a) as a result of the consummation of a transaction
that constitutes a Change of Control or (b) to the extent paid promptly out of
Retained Declined Proceeds (but in any event no later than ten (10) Business
Days after the election by any non-declining Purchasers to decline their pro
rata share of the Declined Proceeds pursuant to Section 2.5(f)).

2.5.       Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)       Subject to Section 7.1(b) hereof, and the exceptions for reinvestments
as set forth in paragraph (b) below and the Intercreditor Agreement, when any
Note Party either (i) sells or otherwise disposes of any Collateral (other than
sales or other dispositions referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (vi), (vii),
(viii) and (ix) of Section 7.1(b)) or (ii) receives the proceeds of or payment
in respect of any property or casualty insurance claims or any condemnation
proceedings with respect to any Collateral (a “Recovery Event”) (for avoidance
of doubt, Collateral includes, in each such case, Real Property, unless such
Real Property is an

  50 

60358086_160358086_13

 

Excluded Asset) and receives net cash proceeds (i.e., gross cash proceeds less
the reasonable costs of such sales or other dispositions or of collecting on or
settling such insurance claim or condemnation proceeding) as the result of such
sales, dispositions or Recovery Events in excess of an aggregate amount of
$1,000,000 in any Fiscal Year, the Issuer shall repay the Notes in an amount
equal to such excess, such repayments to be made promptly but in no event more
than five (5) Business Days following receipt of such net cash proceeds, and
until the date of payment, such proceeds shall be held in trust for Agent. The
foregoing shall not be deemed to be implied consent to any such sale or
disposition otherwise prohibited by the terms and conditions hereof.

(b)       Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing Section 2.5(a), in any
case involving any sale, disposition or Recovery Event with respect to any
Collateral other than Inventory, Receivables or ABL EquipmentFrac Iron, so long
as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date such Note
Party receives the net cash proceeds of such sale or disposition or Recovery
Event, the net cash proceeds of such sale, disposition or Recovery Event shall
not be required to be applied as a prepayment of the Obligations as otherwise
provided in Section 2.5(a), to the extent that (x) promptly but in no event more
than one (1) Business Day following receipt of such net cash proceeds, the
Issuer shall (I) deliver to Agent and the Purchasers a certificate of the Chief
Financial Officer or Controller of the Issuer (A) stating that no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, (B) stating the amount of the net cash
proceeds of such sale, disposition or Recovery Event eligible for reinvestment
under this Section 2.5(b), (C) stating that the Note Parties wish to use such
eligible net cash proceeds of such sale, disposition or Recovery Event for
reinvestment as permitted under this Section 2.5(b) and (D) stating that the
Note Parties shall use such eligible net cash proceeds for reinvestment within
(i) 120 days or (ii) in the case of Real Property, 180 days (or such longer
period as the Required Purchasers may agree in their sole discretion) (as
designated in such certificate of the Chief Financial Officer or Controller of
the Issuer, the “Applicable Reinvestment Period”) and (II) deposit all such net
cash proceeds designated for reinvestment with Agent to be held in a segregated
non-interest bearing trust account under the sole dominion and control of Agent
(the “Reinvestment Account”) and (y) the Note Parties shall, within the
Applicable Reinvestment Period, reinvest an amount equal to such net cash
proceeds designated for reinvestment in assets of equal or greater fair market
value, or otherwise replace, repair or restore any such properties or assets to
be used in any Note Party’s business (and Agent shall disburse funds from the
Reinvestment Account to reimburse the Note Parties for the costs and expenses of
such reinvestment, replacement, repair or restoration upon submission by such
Note Parties to Agent of supporting documentation reasonably acceptable to
Agent), but further provided that, to the extent that the Note Parties shall not
so reinvest net cash proceeds designated for reinvestment within the Applicable
Reinvestment Period, then ten (10) Business Days after the expiration of such
Applicable Reinvestment Period, Agent shall apply any net cash proceeds
designated for reinvestment remaining in the Reinvestment Account to the
prepayment of the Obligations as otherwise provided for in Section 2.5(a).

(c)       Issuer shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of the
Notes following the end of each Fiscal Year, beginning with the Fiscal Year
ending on or about December 31, 2015, in an amount equal to (A) the Applicable
ECF Percentage of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the Excess Cash Flow Period then
ended minus (B) all optional prepayments of the Notes made pursuant to Section
2.4(a) during such Excess Cash Flow Period (without regard to any payment made
on such Notes above par) to the extent such optional prepayments were funded
with Internally Generated Funds. Each such prepayment shall be made within five
(5)

  51 

60358086_160358086_13

 

Business Days following delivery of the financial statements to Agent and the
Purchasers referred to in and required by Section 9.6 for such Fiscal Year. The
Issuer shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate principal amount of the Notes
following the end of each fiscal year, beginning with the fiscal year ending on
or about December 31, 2016, in an amount equal to the portion of Excess Cash
Flow for the Excess Cash Flow Period then ended that is required to paid to the
lenders under the First Lien Term Loan in accordance with the First Lien Term
Loan Agreement and that is rejected by such lenders in accordance with the First
Lien Term Loan Agreement.

(d)       If a Note Party or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any
Indebtedness after the Closing Date not permitted to be incurred or issued
pursuant to Section 7.8, the Issuer shall cause to be prepaid an aggregate
principal amount of Notes in an amount equal to 100% of all net cash proceeds
received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after
the receipt by the relevant Person of such net cash proceeds.

(e)       All prepayments made pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be applied to
the remaining scheduled installment of principal on the Notes pursuant to
Section 2.3 in direct order of maturity.

(f)       Each Purchaser may reject all or a portion of its pro rata share of
any mandatory prepayment to be made pursuant to clauses (a) and (c) above (such
declined amounts, the “Declined Proceeds”) by providing written notice (each, a
“Rejection Notice”) to Agent and the Issuer no later than 5:00 p.m. two (2)
Business Days after the date of such Purchaser’s receipt of notice from the
Issuer regarding such prepayment. Each Rejection Notice from a given Purchaser
shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory prepayment of Notes to be
rejected by such Purchaser. If a Purchaser fails to deliver a Rejection Notice
to Agent and the Issuer within the time frame specified above or such Rejection
Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Notes to be rejected, any
such failure will be deemed an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory
repayment of Note. Any Declined Proceeds shall be offered by the Issuer to the
Purchasers not so declining such prepayment on a pro rata basis in accordance
with the amount of the Notes held by such Purchaser (with such non-declining
Purchasers having the right to decline any prepayment with Declined Proceeds
within five (5) Business Days of such offer by the Issuer). To the extent such
non-declining Purchasers elect to decline their pro rata share of such Declined
Proceeds, any Declined Proceeds remaining thereafter shall be retained by the
Issuer (such remaining Declined Proceeds, the “Retained Declined Proceeds”).

(g)       Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.5 to the contrary, to the
extent that any proceeds or other amounts are subject to any mandatory
prepayment provision of the Revolving Credit Agreement (solely with respect to
proceeds or other amounts arising from sales or dispositions of, or proceeds of
or payments in respect of any property or casualty insurance claims or any
condemnation proceedings with respect to, any Revolving Credit Priority
Collateral) or the First Lien Term Loan Agreement, the Issuer shall not be
required to make any payment of the Notes under this Section 2.5 with respect to
such proceeds or other amounts so long as the Issuer complies with any such
mandatory prepayment provision, as applicable.

  52 

60358086_160358086_13

 

2.6.       Use of Proceeds.

Refinancing on the Closing Date, (ii) finance certain Permitted Investments,
Permitted Acquisitions and Capital Expenditures, (iii) pay costs, fees and
expenses relating to the Transactions and (iv) fund working capital.

(b)       The proceeds of the Delayed Draw Notes will be used to (i) finance
certain Permitted Investments, Permitted Acquisitions and Capital Expenditures,
(ii) pay costs, fees and expenses relating thereto and relating to the issuance

(c)       Without limiting the generality of Sections 2.6(a) and (b) above,
neither the Note Parties nor any other Person which may in the future become
party to this Agreement or the other Note Documents as a Note Party, intends to
use nor shall they use any portion of the proceeds of the Notes, directly or
indirectly, for any purpose in violation of the Trading with the Enemy Act.

2.7.       Incremental Notes.

(a)       The Issuer may at any time or from time to time after the earlier of
(x) the first anniversary of the Closing Date and (y) the issuance of Delayed
Draw Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Delayed Draw Commitment

“Incremental Request”), request one or more new commitments which may be of the
same Class as any outstanding Notes (a “Note Increase”) or a new Class of Notes
(collectively with any Note Increase, the “Incremental Commitments”).

(b)       On the applicable date (each, an “Incremental Note Closing Date”)
specified in any Incremental Amendment (including through any Note Increase),

Issuer (an “Incremental Note”) in an amount equal to its Incremental Commitment
of such Class by wire transfer of immediately available funds as directed by the
Issuer, (B) the Issuer will deliver to such Incremental Purchaser an Incremental
Note issued in the name of such Incremental Purchaser and (C) each Incremental
Purchaser of such Class shall become a Purchaser hereunder with respect to the
Incremental Commitment of such Class and the Incremental Notes of such Class
made pursuant thereto.

(c)       Each Incremental Request from the Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.7
shall set forth the requested amount and proposed terms of the relevant
Incremental Notes. Incremental Notes may be purchased by any existing Purchaser
(but no existing Purchaser will have an obligation to make any Incremental
Commitment) or by any Additional Purchaser (each such existing Purchaser or
Additional Purchaser providing such Commitment, an “Incremental Purchaser”);
provided, that each Purchaser holding Notes at the time of any such Incremental
Request (or any of its Affiliates or Related Funds) shall be provided the right

Business Days after receipt of the applicable Incremental Request); provided,
further, that (i) the Agent shall have acknowledged any Additional Purchaser’s
providing such Incremental Commitment to the extent such acknowledgment, if any,
would be required under Section 16.3(c) for a sale, assignment or transfer of
Notes or Commitments, as applicable, to such Additional Purchaser (ii) with
respect to Incremental Commitments, any Affiliated Purchaser providing an
Incremental Commitment shall be subject to the same restrictions set forth in
Section 16.3(d) as they would otherwise be subject to with respect to any sale,
assignment or transfer to such Affiliated Purchaser of Notes or Commitments and
(iii) neither KGH, Holdings, the Issuer orKGI nor any of theirits Subsidiaries
may provide Incremental Commitments or purchase Incremental Notes under this
Section 2.7.

(d)       The effectiveness of any Incremental Amendment, and the Incremental
Commitments thereunder, shall be subject to the satisfaction on the applicable
date (which shall be no earlier than the date of such Incremental Amendment)
specified therein (the “Incremental Amendment Date”) of each of the following
conditions (such satisfaction to be evidenced by a certificate of the Chief
Financial Officer or Controller of the Issuer delivered by the Issuer
representing to the same), together with any other conditions set forth in the
Incremental Amendment:

(i)       after giving effect to such Incremental Commitments, the conditions of
Section 8.3 shall be satisfied; provided, that, in connection with any
Incremental Commitment, the primary purpose of which is to finance a Permitted
Acquisition, such Incremental Amendment if agreed by the Incremental Purchasers
may include a waiver in full or in part of the conditions set forth in clauses
(a) and (b) (other than with respect to any Event of Default under Section 10.1
or Sections 10.7 or 10.8) of Section 8.3 and in clause (f) of the defined term
“Permitted Acquisition”;

(ii)       each Incremental Commitment shall be in an aggregate principal amount
that is not less than $20,000,000 and shall be in an increment of $1,000,000
(provided, that such amount may be less than $20,000,000 if such amount
represents all remaining availability under the limit set forth in Section
2.7(d)(iv));

(iii)       (x) the Issuer shall be in pro forma compliance with the minimum
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant (whether or not in effect) set forth in
Section 6.5 hereof measured as of the end of the applicable Pro Forma Testing
Period and calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that Indebtedness under the
Incremental Notes had been incurred on the first day of such Pro Forma Testing
Period and that all regularly scheduled interest and principal payments with
respect to such Indebtedness had been paid during such Pro Forma Testing Period,
and (y) the Issuer shall have a pro forma Leverage Ratio of not greater than
3.50 to 1.00, measured as of the end of the applicable Pro Forma Testing Period
and calculated on a pro forma basis assuming that such Indebtedness under the
Incremental Notes had been incurred on the first day of such Pro Forma Testing
Period and that all regularly scheduled interest and principal payments with
respect to such Indebtedness had been paid during such Pro Forma Testing Period;

  54 

60358086_160358086_13

 

(iv)       receipt by Agent and the Purchasers of projections showing the
projected calculation of the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for each four-quarter
fiscal period of the Issuer completed over the twelve month period immediately
following the Incremental Note Closing Date, such calculation giving pro forma
effect to the incurrence of the Incremental Notes on such Incremental Note
Closing Date;

(v)       together with the Incremental Notes issued under such Incremental
Amendment, the aggregate principal amount of Incremental Notes issued since the
Closing Date does not exceed $40,000,000; and minus any incremental facilities
incurred under the Revolving Credit Facility (including any then-existing
incremental facilities refinanced as part of a Permitted Secured Debt
Refinancing or added or incurred under any Revolving Credit Facility established
as part of a Permitted Secured Debt Refinancing); and

(vi)       to the extent reasonably requested by the Agent or Required
Purchasers, receipt by the Agent and the Purchasers of (A) customary legal
opinions, board resolutions and officers’ certificates consistent with those
delivered on the Closing Date (conformed as appropriate) other than changes to
such legal opinions resulting from a change in law, change in fact or change to
counsel’s form of opinion reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Required
Purchasers and (B) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Note
Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Agent or the Required Purchasers
in order to ensure that such Incremental Purchasers are provided with the
benefit of the applicable Note Documents.

(e)       The terms, provisions and documentation of the Incremental Notes of
any Class shall be as agreed between the Issuer and the applicable Incremental
Purchasers providing such Incremental Commitments and, except as set forth in
clause (f) below, sub-clauses (e)(i) through (e)(vi) below, and as otherwise set
forth herein, to the extent not identical to any Class of Notes existing on the
Incremental Note Closing Date, the terms and conditions of the Incremental Notes
that are effective prior to the then Latest Maturity Date of the Notes shall not
be more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those applicable to the Notes
existing on the Incremental Note Closing Date, unless (x) this Agreement is
amended (solely with the consent of the Issuer and with no consent required by
any Purchaser, the Agent or any other Note Party) to conform to such more
restrictive terms and conditions for the benefit of all such existing Notes or
(y) such more restrictive terms and conditions are satisfactory to the Required
Purchasers; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Note
Increase, the terms, provisions and documentation of such Note Increase shall be
identical (other than with respect to upfront fees, OID or similar fees) to the
applicable Class of Notes being increased, in each case, as existing on the
Incremental Note Closing Date. In any event the Incremental Notes:

(i)       shall rank pari passu in right of payment and security with the
existing Notes,

(ii)       as of the Incremental Amendment Date, shall not have a final
scheduled maturity date earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date,

  55 

60358086_160358086_13

 

(iii)       as of the Incremental Amendment Date, shall have a Weighted Average
Life to Maturity not shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to
Maturity of the existing Notes,

(iv)       shall have an interest rate, and subject to clauses (e)(ii) and
(e)(iii) above, amortization determined by the Issuer and the applicable
Incremental Purchasers; provided, that the interest rate and amortization for a
Note Increase shall be the interest rate and amortization for the Class being
increased,

(v)       shall have fees determined by the Issuer and the applicable
Incremental Purchasers, and

(vi)       shall participate on a pro rata basis or less than pro rata basis
(but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory
prepayments of the Notes hereunder.

(f)       the All-In Yield applicable to the Incremental Notes of each Class
shall be determined by the Issuer and the applicable Incremental Purchasers and
shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Amendment; provided, however,
that the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental Notes shall not be greater
than the applicable All-In Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement
as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to any existing
Class of Notes plus 50 basis points per annum unless the interest rate (together
with, as provided in the proviso below, the Eurodollar Rate floor) with respect
to such existing Notes is increased so as to cause the then applicable All-In
Yield under this Agreement on such existing Notes to equal the All-In Yield then
applicable to the Incremental Notes minus 50 basis points; provided, further,
that any increase in All-In Yield to any existing Notes due to the application
or imposition of a Eurodollar Rate floor on any Incremental Notes shall be
effected solely through an increase in (or implementation of, as applicable) any
Eurodollar Rate floor applicable to such existing Notes.

(g)       Commitments in respect of Incremental Notes shall become additional
Commitments pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this
Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Note Documents, executed by the Issuer,
each Incremental Purchaser providing such Commitments, and the Agent (at the
written direction of the Required Purchasers). The Incremental Amendment may
effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Note Documents as may be
necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Required Purchasers
and the Issuer, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.7. The Issuer will
use the proceeds of the sale of any Incremental Notes for any purpose not
prohibited by this Agreement.

2.8.       Defaulting Purchasers.

(a)       Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, if any Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, then, until
such time as that Purchaser is no longer a Defaulting Purchaser, to the extent
permitted by Applicable Law:

  56 

60358086_160358086_13

 

(i)       Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Purchaser’s right to approve
or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement
shall be restricted as set forth in Section 16.2.

(ii)       Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by Agent for the account of that Defaulting Purchaser
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X or
otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as follows: first, to the
payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Purchaser to Agent hereunder;
second, as the Issuer may request in writing (so long as no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing), to the purchase of any Note in respect
of which that Defaulting Purchaser has failed to purchase as required by this
Agreement; third, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and
released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Purchaser to
purchase Notes under this Agreement, as certified to the Agent in writing by the
Issuer; fourth, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Issuer as a result of any
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Issuer against
that Defaulting Purchaser as a result of that Defaulting Purchaser’s breach of
its obligations under this Agreement, as certified to the Agent in writing by
the Issuer; and fifth, to that Defaulting Purchaser or as otherwise directed by
a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a
payment of the principal amount of any Notes not fully purchased by such
Defaulting Purchaser and (y) such Notes were issued at a time when the
conditions set forth in Section 8.2 or 8.3, as applicable, were satisfied or
waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Notes owed to all
non-Defaulting Purchasers on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the
payment of any Notes of such Defaulting Purchaser, as certified to the Agent in
writing by the Issuer. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or
payable to a Defaulting Purchaser that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed
by a Defaulting Purchaser shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that
Defaulting Purchaser, and each Purchaser irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii)       Certain Fees. That Defaulting Purchaser shall not be entitled to
receive any fee pursuant to Sections 3.2(d) for any period during which that
Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser (and the Issuer shall not be required to pay
any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that
Defaulting Purchaser).

(b)       Defaulting Purchaser Cure. If the Required Purchasers determine that a
Defaulting Purchaser should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Purchaser,
the Required Purchasers will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the
effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth
therein, that Purchaser will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of
outstanding Notes of the other Purchasers or take such other actions as may be
necessary to cause the applicable Notes (whether the initial Term Notes, any
Delayed Draw Notes or any Class of Incremental Notes) to be held on a pro rata
basis by the Purchasers in accordance with their pro rata share, whereupon that
Purchaser will cease to be a Defaulting Purchaser; provided that no adjustments
will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or
on behalf of the Issuer while that Purchaser was a Defaulting Purchaser; and
provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the

recoupment or counterclaim and in immediately available funds not later than
1:00 P.M., New York time on the date due, and funds received after that hour
shall be deemed to have been received by Agent on the following Business Day.
Each repayment and prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Article II and all other
payments of principal and interest shall be made on a pro rata basis, calculated

with respect to any Purchaser, as a percentage (carried out to the ninth decimal
place) determined by dividing the aggregate amount of outstanding Notes held by
such Purchaser by the aggregate amount of all outstanding Notes of all
Purchasers; provided, that, in connection with any Incremental Notes with a rate
of interest per annum different than the rate of interest per

  59 

60358086_160358086_13

 

annum of other Notes, such pro rata calculation may be modified in the
applicable Incremental Amendment under which such Incremental Notes were issued.
Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any
Purchaser to such Purchaser (or its designee) promptly following receipt
thereof.

(b)       If any payment to be made to Agent for the benefit of a Purchaser
shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the
next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in
computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

3.9.       Gross Up for Taxes. If any Note Party shall be required by Applicable
Law to withhold or deduct any taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under
this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents to Agent, or any Purchaser,
assignee of any Purchaser, or Participant (each, individually, a “Payee” and
collectively, the “Payees”), (a) the sum payable to such Payee or Payees, as the
case may be, shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all
required withholding or deductions, the applicable Payee or Payees receives an
amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or
deductions been made (the “Gross-Up Payment”), (b) such Note Party shall make
such withholding or deductions, and (c) such Note Party shall pay the full
amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other
authority in accordance with Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Note Party shall be obligated to make any portion of the Gross-Up Payment to the
extent that (i) such taxes are U.S. Federal taxes and the obligation to withhold
or deduct such taxes existed on the date such Payee became a party to this
Agreement or received its interest hereunder or, with respect to payments to a
new office for booking the Notes hereunder of such Payee, the date such Payee
designated such new office with respect to the Notes hereunder; provided,
however, that this clause (i) shall not apply to the extent the Gross-Up Payment
any Payee, or any Payee acting through a new office, would be entitled to
receive (without regard to this clause (i)) does not exceed the Gross-Up Payment
that the person making the transfer or selling the participation, or the Payee
making the designation of such new office, would have been entitled to receive
in the absence of such transfer, participation or designation, (ii) to the
extent that the obligation to pay such Gross-Up Payment would not have arisen
but for a failure of such Payee to comply with Section 3.10 hereof, (iii) that
is attributable to taxes imposed under FATCA (or any amendment thereto or
successor version thereof that is substantively comparable to FATCA and with
respect to which compliance is not materially more onerous), or (iv) that are
taxes imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated), franchise
taxes, or branch profits taxes imposed as a result of such Payee being organized
under the laws of, or having its principal office or lending office located in
the jurisdiction imposing such tax or as a result of any present or former
connection between such Payee and the jurisdiction imposing such tax (other than
a connection arising from such Payee having executed, delivered, become a party
to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, perfected a
security interest under or enforced any Note Document, or sold or assigned an
interest in any Note Document).

U.S. Federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Payee were to fail to
comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those
contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Payee
shall deliver to the Issuer at the time or times prescribed by law and at such
time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer, such documentation prescribed
by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the
Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Issuer as
may be necessary for the Issuer to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to

FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from
such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 3.10(b), “FATCA” shall include

Certificate further undertakes to deliver to Issuer two (2) additional copies of
such Withholding Certificate (or a successor form) on or before the date that
such Withholding Certificate expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence
of any event requiring a change in the most recent Withholding Certificate so
delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof
as may be reasonably requested by the Issuer.

possession, and to disclose to Agent and each Purchaser any information such
accountants may have concerning such Note Party’s and the Restricted

party.

4.9.       Compliance with Laws. Each of Holdings, the Issuer and theits
Restricted Subsidiaries shall comply with all Applicable Laws with respect to

disclosure of which would violate confidentiality obligations owed to third

Person resulting from such access and activities. To the extent such access does
not disrupt the normal business operations of Holdings, the Issuer and its
Restricted Subsidiaries, Agent, any Purchaser and their agents may enter (upon
prior written notice and at its own expense in the absence of a continuing Event

Contested. If any such taxes, assessments, or other Charges remain unpaid after
the date fixed for their payment, or if any claim shall be made which, in
Agent’s or any Purchaser’s opinion, may possibly create a valid Lien on the
Collateral, the Purchasers may without notice to the Issuer pay the taxes,
assessments or other Charges and the Issuer hereby indemnifies and holds Agent
and each Purchaser harmless in respect thereof. Unless an Event of Default shall
have occurred and remain continuing the Purchasers shall not pay any taxes,

of any payment by the

  66 

60358086_160358086_13

 

Purchasers under this Section 4.13 shall be added to the Obligations and, until

the Purchasers with evidence satisfactory to the Required Purchasers that due
provision for the payment thereof has been made), the Purchasers may hold
without interest any balance standing to the Issuer’s credit and Agent shall
retain its security interest in and Lien on any and all Collateral held by Agent

Material Adverse Effect (any such event being hereinafter referred to as a
“Hazardous Discharge”) or receives any written notice of violation, request for
information or written notification that it is potentially responsible for
investigation or cleanup of environmental conditions at the Real Property or any
Customer Real Property, or written demand letter, complaint, order, citation, or
other written notice with regard to any Hazardous Discharge or violation of
Environmental Laws affecting the Real Property or any such Person’s interest
therein, or any Customer Real Property, that could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect (any of the foregoing is referred to herein
as an “Environmental Complaint”) from any Governmental Body responsible in whole
or in part for environmental matters in the state in which the Real Property or
Customer Real Property is located or the United States Environmental Protection

shall, within ten (10) Business Days of such notification, give written notice
of same to Agent and the Purchasers detailing facts and circumstances of which
any of Holdings, the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries is aware
giving rise to the Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint. Such
information is to be provided to allow Agent to protect its security interest in

nor shall it create any obligation upon Agent or any Purchaser with respect
thereto.

(e)       Issuer shall promptly forward to Agent and the Purchasers copies of
any written request for information, notification of potential liability, or
demand letter from Governmental Bodies relating to potential responsibility with
respect to the investigation or cleanup of Hazardous Substances at any other

such Persons have arranged for the transport and disposal of Hazardous
Substances) and shall continue to forward copies of correspondence and other
non-privileged documents reasonably requested by Agent or the Required
Purchasers to Agent and the Purchasers until such matter is settled. Issuer
shall promptly forward to Agent and the Purchasers copies of all documents and
reports concerning a Hazardous Discharge that is reasonably expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect at the Real Property, any Customer Real Property, or any
such third-party disposal sites that any of Holdings, the Issuer or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries is required to file under any Environmental Laws. Such
information is to be provided solely to allow Agent to protect Agent’s security
interest in and Lien on the Real Property and the Collateral.

(f)       Holdings, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall respond
promptly to any Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint and take all
Remedial Actions required by Environmental Law or the Authority; provided,
however, it shall not be required to undertake such Remedial Action or
Environmental Complaint to the extent that its obligation to do so is being
contested in good faith and by proper procedure. If any such Person shall fail
to respond promptly to any Hazardous Discharge as required by Environmental Law
or the Authority, which such failure would reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, Agent on behalf of Purchasers may, but without the
obligation to do so, for the sole purpose of protecting Agent’s interest in the
Collateral: (i) give such notice or (ii) enter onto the Real Property (or
authorize third parties to enter onto the Real Property) and take such Remedial
Actions required by Environmental Law or the Authority with respect to any such
Hazardous Discharge or Environmental Complaint. All reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by Agent and Purchasers (or such third parties) in the
exercise of any such rights, including any sums paid in connection with any
judicial or administrative

Holdings, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall comply with all
reasonable requests for information made by the Agent or the Required Purchasers
with respect to such Hazardous Discharge or failure to comply with Environmental
Laws. Such information reasonably requested may include, at the Issuer’s
expense, an environmental site assessment or environmental compliance audit of
Real Property owned by Holdings, the Issuer or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, to be prepared by a nationally recognized environmental consulting
or engineering firm, to assess such Hazardous Discharge or non-compliance with
Environmental Laws; provided, however, that any environmental site assessment,
environmental compliance audit or similar report acceptable to an appropriate
Authority that is charged to oversee any Remedial Action related to such
Hazardous Discharge or failure to comply with Environmental Laws shall be deemed
acceptable to Agent and the Required Purchasers.

(h)       The Note Parties shall defend and indemnify Agent and Purchasers and
hold Agent, Purchasers and their respective employees, agents, directors and
officers harmless from and against all loss, liability, damage and expense,
claims, costs, fines and penalties, including attorney’s fees, suffered or
incurred by Agent or Purchasers under or on account of any Environmental Laws,
including the assertion of any Lien thereunder, with respect to any Hazardous
Discharge or the presence of any Hazardous Substances affecting the Real
Property or any Customer Real Property whether or not the same originates or
emerges from the Real Property or any contiguous real estate, except to the
extent such loss, liability, damage and expense is attributable to any Hazardous
Discharge or presence of Hazardous Substances resulting from actions on the part
of Agent, the Purchasers or their respective employees, agents, directors or
officers as provided for in this Agreement. The Note Parties’ respective
obligations under this Section 4.19 shall arise upon the discovery of the
presence of any such Hazardous Substances or Hazardous Discharge, whether or not
any federal, state, or local environmental agency has taken or threatened any
action in connection with the presence of any such Hazardous Substances or
Hazardous Discharge. The Note Parties’ obligation and the indemnifications
hereunder shall survive until payment in full of the Obligations and termination
of this Agreement.

Mortgages in such assets and Real Property with a fair market value exceeding
$1,000,000 of Holdings and such Restricted Subsidiaries as are not covered by
the original Pledge Agreement, Mortgages or control agreements (collectively,

substance to the Required Purchasers and the Agent and shall constitute valid
and enforceable perfected security interests, hypothecations and Mortgages
superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons and enforceable against

The Additional Security Documents or instruments related thereto shall have been
duly recorded or filed in such manner and in such places as are required by law

conveyances, financing statements, schedules, transfer endorsements, powers of
attorney, certificates, real property surveys, reports, collateral access
agreements, landlord waivers, bailee agreements, control agreements and other
assurances or instruments and take such further steps relating to the Collateral
(other than with respect to Collateral that, in the aggregate, does not have a
fair market value exceeding $1,000,000) as the Required Purchasers may
reasonably require, as promptly as practicable (and in any event within thirty
(30) calendar days of demand or such longer period as the Required Purchasers
may agree in its reasonable discretion), but subject to the limitations and
exceptions set forth in this Agreement and the other Note Documents.

promptly as practicable (and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days of
such request or such longer period as the Agent may agree in its reasonable
discretion). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
provision, to the extent a Note Party grants a lien on or pledges any assets or
properties to the First Lien Term Loan Agent to secure the First Lien Term Loan
Debt pursuant to the First Lien Term Loan Documents, including, Section 8.18 of
the First Lien Term Loan Agreement, such Note Party shall also grant a lien on
or otherwise pledge such assets or properties to the Agent to secure the
Obligations hereunder, subject to the terms of the applicable Intercreditor
Agreement.

(c)       Upon (w) the formation or acquisition of any new direct or indirect
Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) by any Note Party, (x) the
designation in accordance with Section 6.11 of any existing direct or indirect
Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary), (y)
any existing Excluded Subsidiary ceasing to be an Excluded Subsidiary or (z) any
Subsidiary of the Issuer being added as a borrower, a guarantor, or otherwise is
an obligor under, or has granted a Lien on its assets as credit support for, the
Revolving Credit Facility or the First Lien Term Loan Agreement after the date
of this Agreement, then the Issuer shall, as promptly as practicable (and in any
event within thirty (30) calendar days or such longer period as the Agent may
agree in its reasonable discretion), cause such Person to become a Guarantor of
the Notes and comply with the provisions of Article IV regarding the grant of
security interests in its assets constituting Collateral by executing a
supplement to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 6.10 (an
“Additional Guarantor Supplement”), executing a Pledge Agreement in favor of
Agent in respect of any Equity Interests held by it that will constitute Pledged
Equity and, unless otherwise waived by the Required Purchasers, the Issuer will
cause its counsel to simultaneously with the delivery of such supplement and
such Guaranty deliver an opinion of counsel, subject to customary exceptions,
with respect to, among other matters, the enforceability of such supplement to
this Agreement and to the other Note Documents in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Required Purchasers on the date on which it was added. At
any time or from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Required
Purchasers or Agent, the Issuer and each Guarantor will, at

  88 

60358086_160358086_13

 

its expense, promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days of such
request or such longer period as the Agent may agree in its reasonable
discretion) execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such
other acts and things as the Required Purchasers may reasonably request in order
to ensure that the Obligations under this Agreement and the Notes are guaranteed
by the Guarantors and that the Liens created hereunder and under the other Note
Documents continue to constitute valid and perfected secondfirst priority
security interests (or, so long as the Revolving Credit Facility has not been
terminated, with respect to the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral, valid and
perfected thirdsecond priority security interests) in the Collateral.

6.11.       Designation of Subsidiaries. The Board of Directors may, at any time
designate any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any
Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that immediately
before and after such designation, (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and (ii) no Subsidiary may be designated as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if, after such designation, it would be a “Restricted
Subsidiary” for the purpose of the Revolving Credit Facility, the First Lien
Term Loan Agreement or any Subordinated Indebtedness. For purposes of Section
7.4 hereof, the designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary
after the Closing Date shall be deemed to be an acquisition by the Issuer of the
Equity Interests of such Unrestricted Subsidiary at the date of designation for
a purchase price and investments equal to (x) if such Restricted Subsidiary is
being acquired by a Note Party on such date of designation, the total aggregate
value of all consideration (including all Earnouts) paid by such Note Party for
such acquisition and (y) in all other cases, the fair market value of the assets
of such Restricted Subsidiary at such date of designation. The designation of
any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary shall constitute the
incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such
Subsidiary existing at such time and, for purposes of Section 7.4, a return on
any investment by the Issuer in Unrestricted Subsidiaries equal to the fair
market value of the assets of such Subsidiary at such date of designation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Unrestricted Subsidiary that has been
re-designated a Restricted Subsidiary may not be subsequently re-designated as
an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

6.12.       Use of Proceeds. Use the proceeds of the Notes, whether directly or
indirectly, in a manner consistent with the uses set forth in Section 2.6 of

including the USA PATRIOT Act, that has been requested by the Agent or any of
the Purchasers.

6.14.       Post-Closing Actions. Complete each of the actions described on

set forth in Schedule 6.14 with respect to such action or such later date as the
Required Purchasers may reasonably agree.

  89 

60358086_160358086_13

 

6.15.       Fourth Amendment Post-Closing Actions. The Notes Parties shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause all of the actions described in Section
4.14 to be completed with respect to the Specified Assets constituting not less
than 90% of the aggregate OLV of all Specified Assets within ninety (90) days
(and in any event not to exceed 120 days (or such longer period if consented to
by the Required Purchasers in their reasonable discretion)) of the Fourth
Amendment Effective Date (the "Applicable Filing Deadline"); provided that, the
Note Parties shall be entitled to a day-for-day extension of the Applicable
Filing Deadline upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Force
Majeure Event; provided further that, the Note Parties shall only be entitled to
such day-for-day extension for such Force Majeure Event if the Note Parties are
diligently and in good faith working expeditiously to mitigate, resolve or
work-around such Force Majeure Event. For the avoidance of doubt,
notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Note Document to the
contrary, it is understood and agreed that no Note Party nor any of its
Subsidiaries shall be required to take any action with respect the validity,
perfection, enforceability or priority of Agent's security interest in and/or
Lien on the Specified Assets prior to the Applicable Filing Deadline except as
otherwise required pursuant to this Section 6.15.

income by KGH to them (“Tax Distributions”) using an assumed tax rate equal to
the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state, and local income
tax rate prescribed for an individual resident in New York, New York (the
“Assumed Tax Rate”); provided that (i) Tax Distributions from and after the

KGH from such Fourth Amendment Closing Date, and in the case of Tax
Distributions with respect to taxable years after the taxable year that includes
such Fourth Amendment Closing Date (the “Closing Date Year”), shall take into

extent aggregate allocations of taxable income from and after the Closing Date
Year (with respect to which Tax Distributions have not been made) exceed such
aggregate allocations of taxable losses; (ii) Tax Distributions shall be paid

income allocated to each member of KGH for the period beginning in January of
each such year and ending on March 31, May 31, August 31 and December 31 as if
each such period were a taxable year and (B) the Assumed Tax Rate (such product,
the “Baseline Tax Distribution Methodology”) minus (y) Tax Distributions
previously made by the Company with respect to any prior period within the same
taxable year; provided that if taxable income is not allocated to the Class A
Members of KGH pro rata in accordance with the number of Class A Units held by
each Class A Member of KGH, then (i) KGH shall determine the Class A Member who
has the greatest tax liability on a per-Class A Unit basis determined assuming
such Class A Member is subject to tax at the Assumed Tax Rate with respect to
the taxable income allocated to such Class A Member by KGH (the “High Tax
Member”), (ii) Holdings shall make Tax Distributions to KGH in an amount
sufficient to allow the High Tax Member to pay his tax liability as so
calculated and (iii) Holdings shall make Tax Distributions to KGH in an amount
equal, on a per-Class A Unit basis, to the Tax Distribution received by the
High-Tax Member (the “Class A Member Tax Distribution Methodology”); provided
further that the Tax Distribution shall be calculated on the basis of the
Baseline Tax Distribution Methodology and not the Class A Member Tax
Distribution Methodology once the aggregate amount of Tax Distributions made in
respect of the Class A Members calculated on the basis of the Class A Member Tax
Distribution Methodology exceeds the aggregate

  94 

60358086_160358086_13

 

amount of Tax Distributions that would have been distributed in respect of the
Class A Members had such Tax Distributions been calculated on the basis of the
Baseline Tax Distribution Methodology by $15,000,000 (provided that, in the
event the cumulative EBITDA for the relevant Fiscal Years exceeds $906,000,000,
such $15,000,000 shall be increased proportionally). The Compliance Certificate
shall, inter alia, include the calculation of the Tax Distributions for the
Class A Members on the basis of the Class A Member Tax Distribution Methodology
and the Baseline Tax Distribution Methodology and shall set forth the aggregate
amount by which the amount of Tax Distributions made in respect of the Class A
Members calculated on the basis of the Class A Member Tax Distribution
Methodology exceeds the aggregate amount of Tax Distributions that would have
been distributed in respect of the Class A Members had such Tax Distributions
been calculated on the basis of the Baseline Tax Distribution Methodology. For
purposes of this Section 7.7, “Class A Units” and “Class A Member” have the
meanings ascribed to those terms in the Third Amended and Restated Limited
Liability Company Agreement of Keane Group Holdings LLC, dated as of the Fourth
Amendment Closing Date, as in effect on the date hereof. To the extent that it
shall be determined that the amount of any Tax Distributions have been underpaid
or overpaid for any period (whether as a result of audit or other adjustments to
KGH's taxable income or otherwise), Holdings will adjust future Tax
Distributions to take into account such overpayment or underpayment; provided
that if it is determined that a Tax Distribution was overpaid by $5,000,000 or
more, the direct or indirect members of KGH will each repay to KGH their shares
of such Tax Distribution, and KGH shall repay any amount so received to
Holdings:

(i)       each Restricted Subsidiary of the IssuerHoldings may pay dividends and
distributions to the IssuerHoldings and the other Restricted Subsidiaries of the
IssuerHoldings (and in the case of a dividend or distribution by a non-wholly
owned Restricted Subsidiary, to the IssuerHoldings and any other Restricted
Subsidiary and to each other owner of Equity Interests of such non-wholly owned
Restricted Subsidiary based upon their relative ownership interests of the
relevant class of Equity Interests);

(ii)       so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
would result therefrom, Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries may (or may
make dividends and distributions, the proceeds of which may be used by Holdings
and/or any direct or indirect Parent to) repurchase, redeem, retire or otherwise
acquire for value Equity Interests (including any stock appreciation rights or
profit interests in respect thereof) of Keane Investor (to the extent related to
Keane Investor’s direct or indirect ownership of Holdings), Holdings (or its
direct or indirect parent), the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
from current or former employees, directors or officers of Holdings or any of
its Subsidiaries, provided that the aggregate cash payments in respect of such
repurchases, redemptions, retirements and acquisitions shall not exceed
$5,000,000 in any Fiscal Year; and provided further that at such time, if any,
as such aggregate cash payments made in any Fiscal Year exceed $2,500,000, then
any such additional cash payments made during such fiscal year may be made only
if (x) after giving effect to each such additional cash payment, the Issuer
shall be in pro forma compliance with Section 6.5 (whether or not in effect),
measured as at the end of the applicable Pro Forma Testing Period and calculated
on a pro forma basis assuming that such payment had been made on the first day
of such Pro Forma Testing Period, and (y) no later than five (5) Business Days
prior to the making of such payment, the Issuer shall deliver a certificate of
the Chief Financial Officer or Controller of the Issuer certifying that the
conditions of the preceding clause (x) were satisfied with respect to the making
of such payment;

  95 

60358086_160358086_13

 

(iii)       (a) Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries may make non-cash
repurchases of Equity Interests of Holdings (or its direct or indirect Parent),
the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary deemed to occur upon exercise of stock
options or similar equity incentive awards if such Equity Interest represents a
portion of the exercise price of such options or similar equity incentive
awards, and (b) Holdings and its Restricted Subsidiaries may pay cash, in lieu
of the issuance of fractional shares, upon the exercise of options, warrants or
upon the conversion or exchange of Equity Interests of Holdings (or a direct or

XI.PURCHASERS’ RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AFTER DEFAULT.

11.1.       Rights and Remedies.

(a)       Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of: (i) an Event of
Default pursuant to Section 10.7 all Obligations, including any Prepayment
Premium applicable thereto, shall be immediately due and payable and this
Agreement and the obligation of the Purchasers to purchase any further Notes
shall be deemed terminated; (ii) any of the other Events of Default, at the
option of the Required Purchasers, all Obligations, including any Prepayment
Premium applicable thereto, shall be immediately due and payable and the
Purchasers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and to terminate the
obligation of the Purchasers to purchase any further Notes; and (iii) without
limiting Section 8.2 hereof, any Default under Section 10.7(f) hereof arising
from a filing of a petition against any Note Party in any involuntary case under
any state or federal bankruptcy laws, the obligation of the Purchasers to
purchase Notes hereunder shall be suspended until such time as such involuntary
petition shall be dismissed or an Event of Default under Section 10.7 shall
occur. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
Agent and the Purchasers shall have the right to exercise any and all rights and
remedies provided for herein, under the other Note Documents, under the Uniform
Commercial Code and at law or equity generally, including the right to foreclose
the security interests granted herein and to realize upon any Collateral by any
available judicial procedure and/or to take possession of and sell any or all of
the Collateral with or without judicial process; provided, that the Agent or the
Required Purchasers must provide at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written
notice to the Issuer after an

  116 

60358086_160358086_13

 

Event of Default has occurred and is continuing before exercising any remedies
with respect to the Equity Interests of the Note Parties (including, without
limitation, voting rights). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, Agent and the Purchasers may enter any of any Note Party’s
premises or other premises without legal process and without incurring liability
to any Note Party therefor, and Agent or the Purchasers may thereupon, or at any
time thereafter, in its discretion without notice or demand, take the Collateral
and remove the same to such place as Agent or Purchaser may deem advisable and
Agent or the Required Purchasers may require the Note Parties to make the
Collateral available to Agent at a convenient place. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of any Event of Default, with or without having the
Collateral at the time or place of sale, Agent may sell the Collateral, or any
part thereof, at public or private sale, at any time or place, in one or more
sales, at such price or prices, and upon such terms, either for cash, credit or
future delivery, as Agent may elect. Except as to that part of the Collateral
which is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type
customarily sold on a recognized market, Agent shall give the Note Parties
reasonable notification of such sale or sales, it being agreed that in all
events written notice mailed to the Issuer at least ten (10) days prior to such
sale or sales is reasonable notification. At any public sale Agent or any
Purchaser may bid for and become the purchaser, and Agent, any Purchaser or any
other purchaser at any such sale thereafter shall hold the Collateral sold
absolutely free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity
of redemption and all such claims, rights and equities are hereby expressly
waived and released by each Note Party. In connection with the exercise of the
foregoing remedies, including the sale of Inventory, at such time as Agent shall
be lawfully entitled to exercise such remedies, and for no other purpose. Agent
and the Purchasers are granted a perpetual nonrevocable, royalty free,
nonexclusive license and Agent and the Purchasers are granted permission to use
all of each Note Party’s (a) trademarks, trade styles, tradenames, patents,
patent applications, copyrights, service marks, licenses, franchises and other
proprietary rights which are used or useful in connection with Inventory for the
purpose of marketing, advertising for sale and selling or otherwise disposing of
such Inventory and (b) Equipment for the purpose of completing the manufacture
of unfinished goods. The cash proceeds realized from the sale of any Collateral
shall be applied to the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 11.6
hereof. Noncash proceeds will only be applied to the Obligations as they are
converted into cash. If any deficiency shall arise, the Note Parties shall
remain liable to Agent and Purchasers therefor.

(b)       To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Agent or the
Purchasers to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Note
Party acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent
or any Purchaser: (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by
Agent or such Purchaser to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to
complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished
products for disposition; (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access
to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law,
to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or
disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of; (iii) to fail to
exercise collection remedies against Customers or other Persons obligated on
Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral; (iv)
to exercise collection remedies against Customers and other Persons obligated on
Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other
collection specialists; (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through
publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is
of a specialized nature; (vi) to contact other Persons,

  117 

60358086_160358086_13

 

whether or not in the same business as any Note Party, for expressions of
interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral; (vii) to hire one
or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral,
whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature; (viii) to dispose of
Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of
the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of
doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets; (ix) to dispose of assets
in wholesale rather than retail markets; (x) to disclaim disposition warranties,
such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or
credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or
disposition of Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the
collection or disposition of Collateral; or (xii) to the extent deemed
appropriate by Agent or such Purchaser, to obtain the services of other brokers,
investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent or such
Purchaser in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Note
Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 11.1(b) is to provide
non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Agent or a Purchaser
would not be commercially unreasonable in Agent’s or Purchaser’s exercise of
remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Agent or
Purchaser shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not
being indicated in this Section 11.1(b). Without limitation upon the foregoing,
nothing contained in this Section 11.1(b) shall be construed to grant any rights
to any Note Party or to impose any duties on Agent or a Purchaser that would not
have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the
absence of this Section 11.1(b).

11.2.       Purchaser’s Discretion. The Required Purchasers shall have the right
in their sole discretion to determine which rights, Liens, security interests or
remedies Agent or the Purchasers may at any time pursue, relinquish,
subordinate, or modify or to take any other action with respect thereto and such
determination will not in any way modify or affect any of Agent’s or Purchaser’s
rights hereunder.

11.3.       Setoff. Subject to Section 14.2, in addition to any other rights
which Agent or any Purchaser may have under Applicable Law, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Agent and such
Purchaser shall have a right, immediately and without notice of any kind, to
apply any Note Party’s property held by Agent and such Purchaser to reduce the
Obligations.

11.4.       Rights and Remedies not Exclusive. The enumeration of the foregoing
rights and remedies is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise of any
rights or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedies
provided for herein or otherwise provided by law, all of which shall be
cumulative and not alternative.

11.5.       Equity Cure Right. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.5 or
this Article XI to the contrary, any Original Owner or any of its
AffiliatesHoldings may, but shall not be obligated to, cure any potential Event
of Default under Section 6.5 (such Event of Default, a “Financial Covenant
Default”) by making a capital contribution intoissuing or otherwise selling
Qualified Equity Interests or receiving cash contributions

  118 

60358086_160358086_13

 

from any holder of the Equity Interests of Holdings in the form of new cash
equity contributions in an aggregate amount, in either case, equal to the amount
that, when added to EBITDA on a dollar-for-dollar basis for the relevant testing
period, would have caused the IssuerHoldings and its Subsidiaries to be in full
compliance with Section 6.5 for such testing period (each, an “Equity Cure”);
provided that (a) such Equity Cure must be effected no later than 10 days after
the delivery of the Compliance Certificate describing the applicable Financial
Covenant Default (or the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required
to have been delivered to the Purchasers), (b) no more than one (1) Equity Cure
may be made in respect of any four-quarter fiscal period, (c) no more than two
(2) Equity Cures may be made during the term of this Agreement; and (d) the
amount of such Equity Cure may not exceed the aggregate amount necessary to cure
the Financial Covenant Default. Upon the receipt by Holdings of each such Equity
Cure, each such Financial Covenant Default shall be recalculated giving effect
to the following pro forma adjustments:

(a)       EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of determining the
existence of an Event of Default under Section 6.5 (and not pro forma compliance
with Section 6.5 required by any other provision of this Agreement), with
respect to the relevant four-quarter fiscal period and all future four-quarter
fiscal periods that includes the Fiscal Quarter in respect of which such Equity
Cure was made; and

(b)       if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Issuer
shall then be in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.5, the Issuer
shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Section 6.5 (solely for
purposes of determining compliance with Section 6.5, and not pro forma
compliance with Section 6.5 required by any other provision of this Agreement),
with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith,
and the Financial Covenant Default that had occurred shall be deemed not to have
occurred for purposes of this Agreement and the other Note Documents.

11.6.       Allocation of Payments After Event of Default. Notwithstanding any
other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received
by Agent on account of the Obligations or any other amounts outstanding under
any of the other Note Documents or in respect of the Collateral may, at Agent’s
discretion, be paid over or delivered as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and
expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, which shall be
limited to one outside counsel and one local counsel in each relevant
jurisdiction) of Agent incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other
Note Documents;

SECOND, to payment of any fees owed to Agent;

THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and
expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, which shall be
limited to one outside counsel and one local counsel in each relevant
jurisdiction for all Purchasers) of each of the Purchasers to the extent owing
to such Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

  119 

60358086_160358086_13

 

FOURTH, to the payment of all of the Obligations consisting of accrued fees and
interest;

FIFTH, to the payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations;

SIXTH, to all other Obligations (other than contingent indemnification
obligations for which no claim has been asserted) and other obligations which
shall have become due and payable under the other Note Documents or otherwise
and not repaid pursuant to clauses “FIRST” through “FIFTH” above; and

SEVENTH, to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whoever may be lawfully
entitled to receive such surplus.

In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the
numerical order provided until exhausted prior to application to the next
succeeding category and (ii) each of the Purchasers shall receive an amount
equal to its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding
principal amount of the Notes held by such Purchaser bears to the aggregate then
outstanding principal amount of the Notes) of amounts available to be applied
pursuant to clauses “FOURTH”, “FIFTH” and “SIXTH” above.

XII.WAIVERS AND JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.

12.1.       Waiver of Notice. Each Note Party hereby waives notice of
non-payment of any of the Receivables, demand, presentment, protest and notice
thereof with respect to any and all instruments, notice of acceptance hereof,
notice of loans or advances made, credit extended, Collateral received or
delivered, or any other action taken in reliance hereon, and all other demands
and notices of any description, except such as are expressly provided for
herein.

12.2.       Delay. No delay or omission on Agent’s or any Purchaser’s part in
exercising any right, remedy or option shall operate as a waiver of such or any
other right, remedy or option or of any Default or Event of Default.

12.3.       Jury Waiver. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES
ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A)

ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT
TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO

  120 

60358086_160358086_13

 

THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH
ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE
WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

XIII.EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERMINATION.

13.1.       Term. This Agreement, which shall inure to the benefit of and shall
be binding upon the respective successors and permitted assigns of each Note
Party, the Agent and each Purchaser, shall become effective on the date hereof
and shall continue in full force and effect until the Latest Maturity Date
unless sooner terminated as herein provided.

13.2.       Termination. The termination of the Agreement shall not affect
Agent’s or any Purchaser’s rights, or any of the Obligations having their
inception prior to the effective date of such termination, and the provisions
hereof shall continue to be fully operative until all transactions entered into,
rights or interests created or Obligations have been fully paid, disposed of,
concluded or liquidated. The security interests, Liens and rights granted to
Agent and the Purchasers hereunder and the financing statements filed hereunder
shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding the termination of this
Agreement until all of the Obligations of the Note Parties have been paid in
full. Accordingly, each Note Party waives any rights which it may have under the
Uniform Commercial Code to demand the filing of termination statements with
respect to the Collateral, and Agent shall not be required to send such
termination statements to each Note Party, or to file them with any filing
office, unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance
with its terms and all Obligations have been paid in full in immediately
available funds. All representations, warranties, covenants, waivers and
agreements contained herein shall survive termination hereof until all
Obligations are paid in full.

XIV.REGARDING AGENT.

14.1.       Appointment. Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably designates and
appoints U.S. Bank National Association to act as Agent for such Purchaser under
this Agreement and the other Note Documents, and U.S. Bank National Association
hereby accepts such appointment on the Closing Date subject to the terms hereof.
Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, in such capacity, though its
agents or employees, to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of
this Agreement and the other Note Documents and to exercise such powers and to
perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or
required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other actions and
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Concurrently herewith, each
Purchaser directs Agent and Agent is authorized to enter into the Note Documents
and any other related agreements in the forms presented to such Agent. The
provisions of this Article XIV are solely for the benefit of Agent and the
Purchasers, and no Note Party shall have right as a third party beneficiary of
any such provisions. Each Purchaser agrees that in any instance in which this
Agreement provides that

  121 

60358086_160358086_13

 

Agent’s consent may not be unreasonably withheld, provide for the exercise of
Agent’s reasonable discretion, or provide to a similar effect, it shall not in
its instructions (or, by refusing to provide instruction) to Agent withhold its
consent or exercise its discretion in an unreasonable manner. It is expressly
agreed and acknowledged that Agent is not guaranteeing performance of or
assuming any liability for the obligations of the other parties hereto or any
parties to the Collateral. Agent shall not have liability for any failure,
inability or unwillingness on the part of any Note Party to provide accurate and
complete information on a timely basis to Agent, or otherwise on the part of any
such party to comply with the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no
liability for any inaccuracy or error in the performance or observance on
Agent’s part of any of its duties hereunder that is caused by or results from
any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely information received by it, or other
failure on the part of any such other party to comply with the terms hereof. For
purposes of clarity, phrases such as “satisfactory to the Agent,” “approved by
Agent,” “acceptable to Agent,” “as determined by Agent,” “in Agent’s
discretion,” “selected by the Agent,” “elected by Agent,” “requested by Agent,”
and phrases of similar import (including, without limitation, any allocations to
be determined by the Agent pursuant to Section 2.4(a) of the Intercreditor
Agreement or any actions required of the Agent in connection with the
collection, adjustment or settlement under an insurance policy pursuant to
Section 2.5 of the Intercreditor Agreement) that authorize and permit Agent to
approve, disapprove, determine, act or decline to act in its discretion shall be
subject to Agent’s receiving written direction from the Required Purchasers to
take such action or to exercise such rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall require Agent to exercise any discretionary acts.

14.2.       Collateral. Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal
and interest, fees (except the fees set forth in Sections 3.2(b)), charges and
collections (without giving effect to any collection days) received pursuant to
this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers. Each party to this
Agreement acknowledges and agrees that Agent may from time to time use one or
more outside service providers for the tracking of all UCC financing statements
(and/or other collateral related filings and registrations from time to time)
required to be filed or recorded pursuant to the Note Documents and the
notification to Agent, of, among other things, the upcoming lapse or expiration
thereof, and that each of such service providers will be deemed to be acting at
the request and on behalf of the Note Parties. Agent shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by any such service provider.

Agent hereby disclaims any representation or warranty to the Purchasers
concerning and shall have no responsibility to Purchasers for the existence,
priority or perfection of the Liens and security interests granted hereunder or
under any other Note Document or in the value of any of the Collateral and shall
not be responsible or liable to the Purchasers for any failure to monitor or
maintain any portion of the Collateral. Agent makes no representation as to the
value, sufficiency or condition of the Collateral or any part thereof, as to the
title of the Note Parties to the Collateral, as to the security afforded by this
Agreement or any other Note Document. Agent shall not be responsible for
insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or
liens upon the Collateral. Agent shall not be responsible for the maintenance of
the Collateral, except as expressly provided in the immediately following
sentence when Agent has possession of the Collateral. Agent shall not have any
duty to the Purchasers as to any Collateral in its possession or in the
possession of someone under its control or in the possession or control of any
agent or nominee of Agent or any income thereon or as to the preservation of
rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except the
duty to accord such of the Collateral as may be in its possession substantially
the same care as it

  122 

60358086_160358086_13

 

accords similar assets held for the benefit of third parties and the duty to
account for monies received by it. Agent shall not be under an obligation
independently to request or examine insurance coverage with respect to any
Collateral. Agent shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any bank,
depositary bank, custodian, independent counsel of the Note Parties or any other
party selected by Agent with reasonable care or selected by any other party
hereto that may hold or possess Collateral or documents related to Collateral
and Agent shall not be required to monitor the performance of any such Persons
holding Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything
contained in Section 10.10, Agent shall not be responsible to the Purchasers for
the perfection of any Lien or for the filing, form, content or renewal of any
UCC financing statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds of trust and such
other documents or instruments, provided however that if instructed in writing
by the Required Purchasers and at the expense of the Issuer, Agent shall arrange
for the filing and continuation, of financing statements or other filing or
recording documents or instruments for the perfection of security interests in
the Collateral; provided, that, Agent shall not be responsible for the
preparation, form, content, sufficiency or adequacy of any such financing
statements all of which shall be provided in writing to Agent by the Required
Purchasers including the jurisdictions and filing offices where Agent is
required to file such financing statements.

In connection with the exercise of any rights or remedies in respect of, or
foreclosure or realization upon, any real estate-related collateral pursuant to
this Agreement or any other Note Document, Agent shall not be obligated to take
title to or possession of real estate in its own name, or otherwise in a form or
manner that may, in its reasonable judgment, expose it to liability. In the
event that Agent deems that it may be considered an “owner or operator” under
any environmental laws or otherwise cause Agent to incur, or be exposed to, any
environmental liability or any liability under any other federal, state or local
law, Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, either to resign
as Agent subject to the terms and conditions of Section 14.4 or to arrange for
the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court appointed receiver.
Agent will not be liable to any Person for any environmental liability or any
environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local
law, rule or regulation by reason of Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized,
empowered and directed hereunder or relating to any kind of discharge or release
or threatened discharge or release of any hazardous materials into the
environment.

14.3.       Nature of Duties and Exculpatory Provisions. Agent shall not have
any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Note Documents
to which it is a party, and no implied covenants, duties, obligations or
liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Note Documents on the
part of Agent. 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 and (b) except as expressly set forth in
the Note Documents, Agent shall not have any duty to disclose or shall be liable
for the failure to disclose any information relating to any Note Party or any of
its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by Agent or any of its
Affiliates in any capacity. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this
Agreement (including collection of any promissory notes) or any matter that
would require Agent to exercise any discretion hereunder or under any Note
Document, Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any
action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from

  123 

60358086_160358086_13

 

acting) upon the instructions of the Required Purchasers, and such instructions
shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take
any action unless it is furnished with an indemnification satisfactory to Agent
with respect thereto and Agent shall not be required to take any action which
exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the other
Note Documents or Applicable Law. Agent may at any time request instructions
from the Purchasers with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms
of this Agreement or of any of the other Note Documents Agent is permitted or
required to take or to grant. If Agent shall request any such instructions,
Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless
and until Agent shall have received instructions from the Required Purchasers,
and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Purchasers shall not have any right of
action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from
acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Required Purchasers.
Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the
consent or at the request of the Required Purchasers (or such other number or
percentage of the Purchasers as shall be required by the express terms of this
Agreement or the other Note Documents). Agent shall not have any liability for
any failure, inability or unwillingness on the part of the Purchasers or any
Note Party to provide accurate and complete information on a timely basis to
Agent, or otherwise on the part of any such party to comply with the terms of
this Agreement, and shall have no liability for any inaccuracy or error in the
performance or observance on Agent’s part of any of its duties hereunder that is
caused by or results from any such inaccurate, incomplete or untimely
information received by it, or other failure on the part of any such other party
to comply with the terms hereof. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or
notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under
the other Note Documents, unless Agent has received written notice from a
Purchaser or the Issuer referring to this Agreement or the other Note Documents,
describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a
“notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall
give notice thereof to the Purchasers. Agent shall take such action with respect
to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the
Required Purchasers; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received
such directions, 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 in the best interests of the Purchasers. No
Agent shall be liable for any action taken in good faith and reasonably believed
by it to be within the powers conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any
direction or instruction by which it is governed, or omitted to be taken by it
by reason of the lack of direction or instruction required hereby for such
action (including without limitation for refusing to exercise discretion or for
withholding its consent in the absence of its receipt of, or resulting from a
failure, delay or refusal on the part of any Purchaser to provide, written
instruction to exercise such discretion or grant such consent from any such
Purchaser, as applicable). Agent shall not be liable for any error of judgment
made in good faith unless it shall be proven that Agent was grossly negligent in
ascertaining the relevant facts. Nothing herein or in any other Note Document or
related documents shall obligate Agent to advance, expend or risk its own funds,
or to take any action which in its reasonable judgment may cause it to incur any
expense or financial or other liability for which it is not indemnified to its
satisfaction. Agent shall not be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or
consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever,
even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the
form of action. Any

  124 

60358086_160358086_13

 

permissive grant of power to Agent hereunder shall not be construed to be a duty
to act. Before acting hereunder, Agent shall be entitled to request, receive and
rely upon such certificates and opinions as it may reasonably determine
appropriate with respect to the satisfaction of any specified circumstances or
conditions precedent to such action. Agent shall not be responsible or liable
for: (i) delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its
control, including but not limited to, acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots,
acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact,
fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes
or other disasters, the unavailability of communications or computer facilities,
the failure of equipment or interruption of communications or computer
facilities, or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or
other wire or communication facility, (ii) any delay, error omission or default
of any mail, telegraph, cable or wireless agency or operator, or (iii) the acts
or edicts of any government or governmental agency or other group or entity
exercising governmental powers. Agent shall not be liable for interest on any
money received by it. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent’s rights, protections,
indemnities and immunities provided herein shall apply to Agent for any actions
taken or omitted to be taken under any Note Documents and any other related
agreements in any of their capacities. The Agent may act through its third party
attorneys, custodians, nominees and agents (as opposed to employees of the
Agent) and shall not be responsible for the bad faith, willful misconduct or
gross negligence of any such third party agents, custodians, nominees or
attorneys appointed with due care. The Agent shall not be required to take any
action under this Agreement, the other Note Documents or any related document if
taking such action (A) would subject the Agent to a tax in any jurisdiction
where it is not then subject to a tax, or (B) would require the Agent to qualify
to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified. Agent
shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the designation of any
Purchaser as a “Defaulting Purchaser” hereunder unless Agent has received
written notice from the Issuer referring to this Agreement and notifying Agent
of the identity and designation of such Purchaser as a “Defaulting Purchaser”,
which Agent may conclusively rely upon without incurring liability therefor, and
absent receipt of such notice from the Issuer, Agent may conclusively assume
that no Purchaser under this Agreement has been designated as a “Defaulting
Purchaser”.

14.4.       Lack of Reliance on Agent and Resignation. Each Purchaser
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any
other Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Purchaser also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any
other Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such
documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based
upon this Agreement, any other Note Document or related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be responsible to
any Purchaser for any recitals, statements, information, representations or
warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement
delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness,
validity, enforceability, collectability, sufficiency or value of this Agreement
or any other Note Document or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto or thereto, or of the financial condition of any Note Party, or
be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance
of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the other Note
Documents or the financial condition of any Note Party, or the existence of any
Event of Default or any Default.

  125 

60358086_160358086_13

 

Agent may resign on thirty (30) days’ written notice to each of the Purchasers
and Issuer and upon such resignation, the Required Purchasers will promptly
designate a successor Agent.

Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of
Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its
appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be
terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former
Agent. After Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Article XIV
shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor shall have been so
appointed by the Required Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment
within 30 days after Agent gives notice of its resignation, then Agent may, on
behalf of the Purchasers, appoint a successor Agent, with the consent of the
Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and
not required if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing), which successor shall be a commercial banking institution organized
under the laws of the United States (or any State thereof) or a United States
branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, in each case, having
combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000; provided that if Agent is
unable to find a commercial banking institution that is willing to accept such
appointment and which meets the qualifications set forth above, Agent’s
resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective (except that in the
case of any Collateral held by Agent on behalf of the Purchasers under any of
the Note Documents, the Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security
until such time as a successor Agent is appointed), and the Required Purchasers
shall assume and perform all of the duties of Agent under the Note Documents
until such time, if any, as the Required Purchasers appoint a successor Agent.

Upon the acceptance of its appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor,
such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring (or retired) Agent
shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Note Documents.
The fees payable by the Issuer to a successor Agent shall be the same as those
payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and such
successor. After Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article
XIV shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its
sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

14.5.       Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur
any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic
message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by
it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent, or otherwise authenticated by a
proper person. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the
issuance of a Note that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a
Purchaser, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such
Purchaser unless Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from
such Purchaser prior to the issuance of such Note. Agent may consult with legal
counsel (who may be counsel for the Note Parties), independent accountants,
experts and other advisors selected by it, and shall not be liable for any
action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such
counsel, accountants, experts or advisors. Neither Agent nor any of its
respective

  126 

60358086_160358086_13

 

directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or
any of the other Note Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent:
(i) makes no warranty or representation to any Purchaser or any other Person and
shall not be responsible to any Purchaser or any Person for any statements,
warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection
with this Agreement or the other Note Documents; (ii) shall not have any duty to
ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Agreement, the other Note Documents or any
related documents on the part of the Note Parties or any other Person or to
inspect the property (including the books and records) of the Note Parties;
(iii) shall not be responsible to any Purchaser or any other Person for the due
execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency,
ownership, transferability or value of any Collateral, this Agreement, the other
Note Documents, any related document or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (iv) shall incur no liability under or
in respect of this Agreement or any other Note Document by relying on, acting
upon (or by refraining from action in reliance on) any notice, consent,
certificate, instruction or waiver, report, statement, opinion, direction or
other instrument or writing (which may be delivered by telecopier, email, cable
or telex, if acceptable to it) believed by it to be genuine and believe by it to
be signed or sent by the proper party or parties. Agent shall not have any
liability to the Note Parties or any Purchaser or any other Person for the Note
Parties’ or any Purchaser’s, as the case may be, performance of, or failure to
perform, any of their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement or
any other Note Document.

14.6.       Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and
indemnified by the Note Parties, each Purchaser will reimburse and indemnify
Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the outstanding principal
amount of the Notes, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Note Document;
provided that, Purchasers shall not be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross (not mere)
negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment). The indemnities contained in
this Section 14.6 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Agent and the
termination of this Agreement and the other Note Documents.

14.7.       Delivery of Documents. To the extent Agent receives financial
statements required under Sections 9.6, 9.7, 9.8, 9.11 and 9.12 from the Issuer
or any other Note Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which the Issuer
or any other Note Party is not obligated to deliver to each Purchaser, Agent
will promptly furnish such documents and information to the Purchasers.

14.8.       No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither such Purchaser, nor any of its
Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on Agent to

  127 

60358086_160358086_13

 

carry out such Purchaser’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer
identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or
pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the
regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the
“CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs
involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any Note
Party, its Affiliates or its agents, this Agreement, the other Note Documents or
the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (a) any identity verification
procedures, (b) any record-keeping, (c) comparisons with government lists, (d)
customer notices or (e) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or
such other laws.

14.9.       Agent May File Proof of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Note Party,
Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Note shall then be due and
payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether Agent shall have made any demand on the Issuer) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)       to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and all other Obligations that
are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Purchasers and Agent (including any
claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Purchasers and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other
amounts due the Purchasers and Agent under the Note Documents) allowed in such
judicial proceeding; and

(b)       to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian,
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Purchaser to make
such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making
of such payments directly to the Purchasers, to pay to Agent any amount due for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and
its respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under the
Note Documents.

XV.GUARANTY.

15.1.       Guarantee of Obligations. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees
that the Obligations will be performed and paid in full in cash when due and
payable, whether at the stated or accelerated maturity thereof or otherwise,
this guarantee being a guarantee of payment and not of collectability and being
absolute and in no way conditional or contingent (the “Guarantee”). In the event
any part of the Obligations shall not have been so paid in full when due and
payable, each Guarantor will, immediately upon notice by the Agent or, without
notice, immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section
10.7, pay or cause to be paid to Agent for the account of each Purchaser in
accordance with the Purchaser’s proportionate share of such Obligations which
are then due and payable and unpaid. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder
shall

  128 

60358086_160358086_13

 

not be affected by the invalidity, unenforceability or irrecoverability of any
of the Obligations as against the Issuer, any other Note Party, any other
guarantor thereof or any other Person. For purposes hereof, the Obligations
shall be due and payable when and as the same shall be due and payable under the
terms of this Agreement or any other Note Document notwithstanding the fact that
the collection or enforcement thereof may be stayed or enjoined under Debtor
Relief Laws or other Applicable Law.

15.2.       Continuing Obligation. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the
Purchasers have entered into this Agreement (and, to the extent that the
Purchasers or the Agent may enter into any future Note Document, will have
entered into such agreement) in reliance on this Article XV being a continuing
irrevocable agreement, and such Guarantor agrees that its guarantee may not be
revoked in whole or in part. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall
terminate when all of the Obligations have been paid in full in cash and
discharged; provided, however, that:

(a)       if a claim is made upon the Purchasers at any time for repayment or
recovery of any amounts or any property received by the Purchasers from any
source on account of any of the Obligations and the Purchasers repay or return
any amounts or property so received (including interest thereon to the extent
required to be paid by the Purchasers); or

(b)       if the Purchasers become liable for any part of such claim by reason
of (i) any judgment or order of any court or administrative authority having
competent jurisdiction, or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim,

(c)       then in either case the Guarantors shall remain liable under this
Agreement for the amounts so repaid or property so returned or the amounts for
which the Purchasers become liable (such amounts being deemed part of the
Obligations) to the same extent as if such amounts or property had never been
received by the Purchasers, notwithstanding any termination hereof or the
cancellation of any instrument or agreement evidencing any of the Obligations.
Not later than five days after receipt of notice from Agent or the Required
Purchasers, the Guarantors shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the
Purchasers, an amount equal to the amount of such repayment or return for which
the Purchasers have so become liable. Payments hereunder by a Guarantor may be
required by Agent on any number of occasions.

15.3.       Waivers with Respect to Obligations. Except to the extent expressly
required by this Agreement or any other Note Document, each Guarantor waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of applicable law, all of the
following (including all defenses, counterclaims and other rights of any nature
based upon any of the following):

(a)       presentment, demand for payment and protest of nonpayment of any of
the Obligations, and notice of protest, dishonor or nonperformance;

(b)       notice of acceptance of this guarantee and notice that the Notes have
been sold by the Issuer hereunder in reliance on such Guarantor’s guarantee of
the Obligations;

  129 

60358086_160358086_13

 

(c)       notice of any Default or of any inability to enforce performance of
the obligations of the Issuer or any other Person with respect to any Note
Document or notice of any acceleration of maturity of any Obligations;

(d)       demand for performance or observance of, and any enforcement of any
provision of this Agreement, the Obligations or any other Note Document or any
pursuit or exhaustion of rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or
against the Issuer or any other Agent or any Purchaser in connection with any of
the foregoing;

(e)       any act or omission on the part of Agent or any Purchaser which may
impair or prejudice the rights of such Guarantor, including rights to obtain
subrogation, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or any other
reimbursement from the Issuer or any other Person, or otherwise operate as a
deemed release or discharge;

(f)       failure or delay to perfect or continue the perfection of any security
interest in any Collateral or any other action which harms or impairs the value
of, or any failure to preserve or protect the value of, any Collateral;

(g)       any statute of limitations or any statute or rule of law which
provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in
other respects more burdensome than the obligation of the principal;

(h)       any “single action” or “antideficiency” law which would otherwise
prevent any Purchaser from bringing any action, including any claim for a
deficiency, against such Guarantor before or after Agent’s or the Purchasers’
commencement or completion of any foreclosure action, whether judicially, by
exercise of power of sale or otherwise, or any other law which would otherwise
require any election of remedies by Agent or any Purchaser;

(i)       all demands and notices of every kind with respect to the foregoing;
and

(j)       to the extent not referred to above, all defenses (other than payment)
which the Issuer may now or hereafter have to the payment of the Obligations,
together with all suretyship defenses, which could otherwise be asserted by such
Guarantor.

15.4.       Purchasers’ Power to Waive, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, with respect to this Article XV, each Guarantor grants to Agent
and each of the Purchasers full power in their discretion, without notice to or
consent of such Guarantor, such notice and consent being expressly waived to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and without in any way affecting the
liability of such Guarantor under its guarantee hereunder:

(a)       To waive compliance with, and any Default under, and to consent to any
amendment to or modification or termination of any provision of, or to give any
waiver in respect of, this Agreement, any other Note Document, the Collateral,
the Obligations or any guarantee thereof (each as from time to time in effect);

(b)       To grant any extensions of the Obligations (for any duration), and any
other indulgence with respect thereto, and to effect any total or partial
release (by operation of law or otherwise), discharge,

  130 

60358086_160358086_13

 

compromise or settlement with respect to the obligations of the Note Parties or
any other Person in respect of the Obligations, whether or not rights against
such Guarantor under this Agreement are reserved in connection therewith;

(c)       To take security in any form for the Obligations, and to consent to
the addition to or the substitution, exchange, release or other disposition of,
or to deal in any other manner with, any part of any property contained in the
Collateral whether or not the property, if any, received upon the exercise of
such power shall be of a character or value the same as or different from the
character or value of any property disposed of, and to obtain, modify or release
any present or future guarantees of the Obligations and to proceed against any
of the Collateral or such guarantees in any order;

(d)       To collect or liquidate or realize upon any of the Obligations or the
Collateral in any manner or to refrain from collecting or liquidating or
realizing upon any of the Obligations or the Collateral; and

(e)       To extend additional credit, if any, under this Agreement, any other
Note Document or otherwise in such amount as the Purchasers may determine,
including increasing the amount of credit and the interest rate and fees with
respect thereto, even though the condition of the Note Parties (financial or
otherwise, on an individual or consolidated basis) may have deteriorated since
the date hereof.

15.5.       Information Regarding the Issuer, etc. Each Guarantor has made such
investigation as it deems desirable of the risks undertaken by it in entering
into this Agreement and is fully satisfied that it understands all such risks.
Each Guarantor waives any obligation which may now or hereafter exist on the
part of Agent or any Purchaser to inform it of the risks being undertaken by
entering into this Agreement or of any changes in such risks and, from and after
the date hereof, each Guarantor undertakes to keep itself informed of such risks
and any changes therein. Each Guarantor expressly waives any duty which may now
or hereafter exist on the part of Agent or any Purchaser to disclose to such
Guarantor any matter related to the business, operations, character, collateral,
credit, condition (financial or otherwise), income or prospects of the Issuer
and its Affiliates or their properties or management, whether now or hereafter
known by Agent or any Purchaser. Each Guarantor represents, warrants and agrees
that it assumes sole responsibility for obtaining from the Issuer all
information concerning this Agreement and all other Note Documents and all other
information as to the Issuer and its Affiliates or their properties or
management as such Guarantor deems necessary or desirable.

15.6.       Certain Guarantor Representations. Each Guarantor represents that:

(a)       it is in its best interest and in pursuit of the purposes for which it
was organized as an integral part of the business conducted and proposed to be
conducted by the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, and reasonably necessary and
convenient in connection with the conduct of the business conducted and proposed
to be conducted by them, to induce the Purchasers to enter into this Agreement
and to purchase the Notes from the Issuer by making the Guarantee contemplated
by this Article XV;

  131 

60358086_160358086_13

 

(b)       the proceeds from the sale of the Notes will directly or indirectly
inure to its benefit;

(c)       by virtue of the foregoing it is receiving at least reasonably
equivalent value from the Purchasers for its Guarantee;

(d)       it will not be rendered insolvent as a result of entering into this
Agreement after taking into account its respective contribution rights under
Section 15.9;

(e)       after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the other Note Documents, it will have assets having a fair saleable value
in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liability on its existing
debts as such debts become absolute and matured;

(f)       it has, and will have, access to adequate capital for the conduct of
its business;

(g)       it has the ability to pay its debts from time to time incurred in
connection therewith as such debts mature; and

(h)       it has been advised that the Purchasers are unwilling to enter into
this Agreement unless the Guarantee contemplated by this Article XV is given by
it.

15.7.       Subrogation. Each Guarantor agrees that, until the Obligations are
paid in full, it will not exercise any right of reimbursement, subrogation,
contribution, offset or other claims against the Issuer or any other Note Party
arising by contract or operation of law in connection with any payment made or
required to be made by such Guarantor under this Agreement or any other Note
Document. After the payment in full of the Obligations, each Guarantor shall be
entitled to exercise against the Issuer and the other Note Parties all such
rights of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution and offset, and all such
other claims, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

15.8.       Subordination. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that all
Indebtedness, claims and liabilities now or hereafter owing by the Issuer or any
other Note Party to such Guarantor, whether arising hereunder or otherwise, are
subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Obligations and are so
subordinated as a claim against such Note Party or any of its assets, whether
such claim be in the ordinary course of business or in the event of voluntary or
involuntary liquidation, dissolution, insolvency or bankruptcy, so that no
payment with respect to any such Indebtedness, claim or liability will be made
or received while any Event of Default exists. If, notwithstanding the
foregoing, any payment with respect to any such Indebtedness, claim or liability
is received by any Guarantor in contravention of this Agreement, such payment
shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent and the Purchasers and promptly
turned over to it in the original form received by such Guarantor.

15.9.       Contribution Among Guarantors. The Guarantors agree that, as among
themselves in their

  132 

60358086_160358086_13

 

capacity as guarantors of the Obligations, the ultimate responsibility for
repayment of the Obligations, in the event that the Issuer fails to pay when due
its Obligations, shall be equitably apportioned, to the extent consistent with
the Note Documents, among the respective Guarantors (a) in the proportion that
each, in its capacity as a guarantor, has benefited from the proceeds resulting
from the sale of the Notes by the Issuer under this Agreement, or (b) if such
equitable apportionment cannot reasonably be determined or agreed upon among the
affected Guarantors, in proportion to their respective net worths determined on
or about the date hereof (or such later date as such Guarantor becomes party
hereto). In the event that any Guarantor, in its capacity as a guarantor, pays
an amount with respect to the Obligations in excess of its proportionate share
as set forth in this Section 15.9 each other Guarantor shall, to the extent
consistent with the Note Documents, make a contribution payment to such
Guarantor in an amount such that the aggregate amount paid by each Guarantor
reflects its proportionate share of the Obligations. In the event of any default
by any Guarantor under this Section 15.9 each other Guarantor will bear, to the
extent consistent with the Note Documents, its proportionate share of the
defaulting Guarantor’s obligation under this Section 15.9. This Section 15.9 is
intended to set forth only the rights and obligations of the Guarantors among
themselves and shall not in any way affect the obligations of any Guarantor to
Agent or any Purchaser under the Note Documents (which obligations shall at all
times constitute the joint and several obligations of all the Guarantors).

XVI.MISCELLANEOUS.

16.1.       Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York applied to contracts to be
performed wholly within the State of New York. Any judicial proceeding brought
by or against any Note Party with respect to any of the Obligations, this
Agreement, the other Note Documents or any related agreement may be brought in
any court of competent jurisdiction in the City of New York, Borough of
Manhattan, State of New York, United States of America, and, by execution and
delivery of this Agreement, each Note Party accepts for itself and in connection
with its properties, generally and unconditionally, the exclusive jurisdiction
of the aforesaid courts, and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment
rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement. Each Note Party hereby
waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all
such service of process may be made by registered mail (return receipt
requested) directed to the Issuer at its address set forth in Section 16.9 and
service so made shall be deemed completed five (5) days after the same shall
have been so deposited in the mails of the United States of America, or, at
Agent’s option, by service upon the Issuer which each Note Party irrevocably
appoints as such Note Party’s agent for the purpose of accepting service within
the State of New York. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in
any manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of Agent or any Purchaser
to bring proceedings against any Note Party in the courts of any other
jurisdiction. Each Note Party waives any objection to jurisdiction and venue of
any action instituted hereunder and shall not assert any defense based on lack
of jurisdiction or venue or based upon forum non conveniens. Each Note Party
waives the right to remove any judicial proceeding brought against such Note
Party in any state court to any federal court. Any judicial proceeding by any
Note Party against Agent or any Purchaser involving, directly or indirectly, any
matter or claim in any way arising out of, related to or connected with this
Agreement or any related agreement, shall be brought only in a federal or state
court located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, County of New York,
State of New York.

  133 

60358086_160358086_13

 

16.2.       Entire Understanding.

(a)       This Agreement and the documents executed concurrently herewith
contain the entire understanding between each Note Party, Agent and each
Purchaser and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any,
relating to the subject matter hereof. Any promises, representations, warranties
or guarantees not herein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and
effect unless in writing, signed by each of the Issuer’s, Agent’s and each
Purchaser’s respective officers. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or
provisions hereof may be changed, modified, amended, waived, supplemented,
discharged, cancelled or terminated orally or by any course of dealing, or in
any manner other than by an agreement in writing and in accordance with this
Agreement. Each Note Party acknowledges that it has been advised by counsel in
connection with the execution of this Agreement and the other Note Documents and
is not relying upon oral representations or statements inconsistent with the
terms and provisions of this Agreement.

(b)       The Required Purchasers (or the Agent with the consent in writing of
the Required Purchasers) and Issuer may, subject to the provisions of this
Section 16.2(b), from time to time enter into written supplemental agreements to
this Agreement or the other Note Documents executed by the Note Parties, for the
purpose of adding or deleting any provisions or otherwise changing, varying or
waiving in any manner the rights of the Purchasers, Agent or the Note Parties
thereunder or the conditions, provisions or terms thereof or waiving any Event
of Default thereunder, but only to the extent specified in such written
agreements; provided, however, that no such supplemental agreement shall be
effective if the effect would:

(i)       increase the maximum dollar commitment of any Purchaser unless
consented to in writing by such Purchaser;

(ii)       extend the maturity of any Note or the due date for any amount
payable hereunder, or decrease the rate of interest or reduce any fee payable
hereunder or under any other Note Document, in each case, unless consented to in
writing by each Purchaser directly and adversely affected thereby;

(iii)       alter the definition of the term Required Purchasers or alter, amend
or modify this Section 16.2(b) unless consented to in writing by each Purchaser;

(iv)       in each case, other than in connection with a transaction permitted
under Section 7.1, (i) release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any
transaction or series of related transactions, unless consented to in writing by
each Purchaser or (ii) release all or substantially all of the aggregate value
of the Guarantee, unless consented to in writing by each Purchaser;

(v)       change the rights and duties of the Agent, or adversely affect the
rights, duties, liabilities or indemnities of the Agent, unless consented to in
writing by the Required Purchasers and Agent;

  134 

60358086_160358086_13

 

Any such supplemental agreement shall apply equally to each Purchaser and shall
be binding upon the Note Parties, the Purchasers and Agent and all future
holders of the Obligations. In the case of any waiver, the Note Parties, Agent
and Purchasers shall be restored to their former positions and rights, and any
Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing, but no
waiver of a specific Event of Default shall extend to any subsequent Event of
Default (whether or not the subsequent Event of Default is the same as the Event
of Default which was waived), or impair any right consequent thereon.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Purchaser shall
have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent
hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the
consent of all Purchasers or each affected Purchaser may be effected with the
consent of the applicable Purchasers other than Defaulting Purchasers), except
that (x) the Commitment of any such Defaulting Purchaser may not be increased or
extended without the consent of such Purchaser, (y) any waiver, amendment or
modification requiring the consent of all Purchasers or each affected Purchaser
that by its terms materially and adversely affects any Defaulting Purchaser to a
greater extent than any other affected Purchaser shall require the consent of
such Defaulting Purchaser and (x) the consent of any Defaulting Purchaser shall
be required in respect of any amendments referred to in clauses (i) through
(iii) of Section 16.2.

In the event that (i) the Issuer has requested that the Purchasers consent to a
departure or waiver of any provisions of the Note Documents or agree to any
amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires
the agreement of all the Purchasers and (iii) the Required Purchasers have
agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then with respect to any Purchaser
that has not so consented (such Purchaser, a “Non-Consenting Purchaser”), the
Issuer may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Non-Consenting
Purchaser and the Agent, require such Non-Consenting Purchaser to sell, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 16.3(c)), all of its interests, rights and
obligations with respect to the Notes or Commitments that is the subject of the
related consent, waiver and amendment and the related Note Documents to one or
more existing Purchasers or new Purchasers eligible under Section 16.3(c)
(provided that neither the Agent nor any Purchaser shall have any obligation to
the Issuer to find a replacement Purchaser or other such Person) that shall
acquire such obligations (any of which assignees may be another Purchaser, if a
Purchaser accepts such assignment), provided that (1) such sale must comply with
the provisions of Section 16.3(c) and (2) such Non-Consenting Purchaser shall
have received payment of an amount equal to the applicable outstanding principal
of its Notes, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts
payable to it hereunder and under the other Note Documents (including the full
amount of the Prepayment Premium, if any, under Section 2.4(b)) from the
assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Issuer (to the extent amounts are due and owing to the
Non-Consenting Purchaser in excess of amounts due from the assignee). A
Non-Consenting Purchaser shall not be required to consummate any such sale or
delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Non-Consenting
Purchaser or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Issuer to require such
sale and delegation cease to apply. If any Non-Consenting Purchaser shall refuse
or fail to execute and deliver any Assignment and Assumption required pursuant
to Section 16.3 within ten (10) Business Days of any

  135 

60358086_160358086_13

 

request therefor by the Agent, the Issuer or any Purchaser, the Non-Consenting
Purchaser shall automatically be deemed to have executed and delivered such
Assignment and Assumption.

16.3.       Successors and Assigns; Participations; New Purchasers.

(a)       This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Note Parties, Agent, each Purchaser, all future holders of the Obligations and
their respective successors and assigns, except that no Note Party may assign or
transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of each Purchaser. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties
hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of the Purchasers) any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)       Each Note Party acknowledges that one or more Purchasers may at any
time and from time to time sell, assign or transfer one or more participating
interests in the Notes to other financial institutions (each such transferee or
purchaser of a participating interest, a “Participant”). No Participant, other
than an Affiliate of the Purchaser granting such participation, shall be
entitled to require such Purchaser to take or omit to take any action hereunder
except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i)
extend the scheduled maturity of any Note in which such Participant is
participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or
fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any
post-Default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof,
or increase the amount of the Participant’s participation over the amount
thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or
Event of Default shall not constitute a change in the terms of such
participation, and that an increase in the principal amount of any Note shall be
permitted without the consent of any Participant if the Participant’s
participation is not increased as a result thereof), or (ii) consent to the
release of all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantee, or all or
substantially all of the Collateral. The Issuer agrees that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10 hereof to the same extent as
if it were a Purchaser and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section 16.3, and that each Participant may exercise all
rights of payment (including rights of set-off) with respect to the portion of
such Notes held by it or other Obligations payable hereunder as fully as if such
Participant were the direct holder thereof provided that the Issuer shall not be
required to pay to any Participant more than the amount which it would have been
required to pay to Purchaser which granted an interest in its Notes or other
Obligations payable hereunder to such Participant had such Purchaser retained
such interest in the Notes hereunder or other Obligations payable hereunder
(unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Issuer’s prior written consent), and in no event shall the Issuer be required to
pay any such amount arising from the same circumstances and with respect to the
same Notes or other Obligations payable hereunder to both such Purchaser and
such Participant. Each Purchaser that sells a participation, acting solely for
this purpose as an agent of the Issuer, shall maintain a register on which it
records the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of
each Participant’s interest in the Notes (each, a “Participant Register”). The
entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error,
and the Issuer shall treat each Person whose

  136 

60358086_160358086_13

 

name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the
holder of such Notes for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding any
notice to the contrary. Each Note Party hereby grants to any Participant a
continuing security interest in any deposits, moneys or other property actually
or constructively held by such Note Party as security for the Participant’s
interest in the Notes. In connection with any participation contemplated hereby
(A) such Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Note
Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) such Purchaser shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations
and (C) the Note Parties, the Agent and the other Purchasers shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Note Documents. Any
agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Purchaser sells such a participation
shall provide that such Purchaser shall retain the sole right to enforce this
Agreement and the other Note Documents and, except for the rights of a
Participant set forth in this Section 16.3(b), to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Note
Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
Purchaser shall be permitted to effect any sale, assignment or transfer of any
rights or obligations under or relating to the Notes or any of its Commitments
if, as a result of such sale, assignment or transfer, any Note Party would be
required to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act. Any transfer in
violation of the foregoing will be void ab initio.

(c)       Any Purchaser may sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its
rights and obligations under or relating to its Notes and/or its Commitments to
any (i) existing Purchaser, Related Fund or Affiliate of a Purchaser; or (ii)
any other Person (other than indirect holders of the Equity Interests of
Holdings and their respective Affiliates, including the Note Parties and their
Subsidiaries, except as set forth in clauses (d) and (e) below), provided, that
such Purchaser may not sell, assign or transfer to any Disqualified Person;
provided, further, that in the case of clause (ii), such sale, assignment or
transfer shall be in a minimum amount of not less than $500,000 (the “Minimum
Transfer Level”) except in the case of an assignment of all of a Purchaser’s
rights and obligations under this Agreement, provided, that the Minimum Transfer
Level shall be met if the aggregate principal amount of the Notes and/or
Commitments to be sold, assigned, transferred, or negotiated hereunder in a
single transaction or series of related transactions by any Purchaser or group
of affiliated Purchasers to a single transferee or group of affiliated
transferees exceeds the Minimum Transfer Level. Such sale, assignment, or
transfer shall be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, executed by
a new Purchaser, the transferor Purchaser, and Agent and delivered to Agent for
recording. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and
after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and
Assumption, (i) new Purchaser thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the
extent provided in such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and
obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement, and (ii) the transferor
Purchaser thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and
Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the
Assignment and Assumption creating a novation for that purpose. Such Assignment
and Assumption shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only
to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such new Purchaser and the
resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising from the purchase by such new
Purchaser of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor
Purchaser under this Agreement and the other Note Documents. The Issuer consents
to the addition of such new Purchaser and the resulting adjustment of the rights
and obligations of the Purchasers

  137 

60358086_160358086_13

 

arising from the purchase by such new Purchaser of all or a portion of the
rights and obligations of such transferor Purchaser under this Agreement and the
other Note Documents made in compliance with this Section 16.3(c). Upon the
reasonable request of the Issuer, such new Purchaser shall deliver customary
certificates confirming the representations and warranties of such new Purchaser
pursuant to Article XVII hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, no Purchaser shall be permitted to effect any sale, assignment
or transfer of any rights or obligations under or relating to its Notes or its
Commitments if, as a result of such sale, assignment or transfer, any Note Party
would be required to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act. Any
transfer in violation of the foregoing will be void ab initio. In no event shall
the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries consent to the sale, assignment, transfer
or participation of any loans or commitments under the First Lien Term Loan
Agreement to any Person that is a Disqualified Person.

(d)       Any Purchaser may at any time assign all or a portion of its rights
and obligations with respect to Notes under this Agreement to the indirect
holders of the Equity Interests of Holdings and their respective Affiliates
(other than the Note Parties and their Subsidiaries) (in such capacity, the
“Affiliated Purchasers” and each, an “Affiliated Purchaser”), through (x) Dutch
auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Purchasers on a pro rata basis
or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the
following limitations:

(i)       the assigning Purchaser and the Affiliated Purchaser purchasing such
Purchaser’s Term Notes shall execute and deliver to Agent and the other
Purchasers an assignment agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit 16.3(d)(A) hereto (an “Affiliated Purchaser Assignment and Assumption”);

(ii)       Affiliated Purchasers will not receive information provided solely to
Purchasers by Agent or any Purchaser and will not be permitted to attend or
participate in conference calls or meetings attended solely by the Purchasers
and Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other
administrative notices in respect of its Notes or Commitments required to be
delivered to Purchasers pursuant to Article II;

(iii)       For purposes of determining whether the “Required Purchasers” have
consented to (or not consented to) any amendment, waiver or modification of this
Agreement or the other Note Documents, or any plan of reorganization that does
not in each case adversely affect the Affiliated Purchasers (solely in their
capacity as Purchasers of Notes) as compared to other affected Purchasers of
Notes, such Affiliated Purchasers shall be deemed to have voted in the same
proportion as non-Affiliated Purchasers voting on such matter;

(iv)       each Affiliated Purchaser that purchases any Notes shall represent
and warrant to the selling Purchaser and Agent (other than any other Affiliated
Purchaser), or shall make a statement that such representation cannot be made,
that it does not possess material non-public information with respect to
Holdings and its Subsidiaries or the securities of any of them that has not been
disclosed to the Purchasers generally (other than Purchasers who elect not to
receive such information);

  138 

60358086_160358086_13

 

(v)       the aggregate principal amount of Notes held at any one time by
Affiliated Purchasers shall not exceed 25% of the original principal amount of
all Notes at such time outstanding; (such percentage, the “Affiliated Purchaser
Cap”); provided that to the extent any assignment to an Affiliated Purchaser
would result in the aggregate principal amount of all Notes held by Affiliated
Purchasers exceeding the Affiliated Purchaser Cap, the assignment of such excess
amount will be void ab initio; and

(vi)       as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this clause (d), Agent,
the other Purchasers and the Issuer shall have been provided a notice in the
form of Exhibit 16.3(d)(B) to this Agreement in connection with each assignment
to an Affiliated Purchaser or a Person that upon effectiveness of such
assignment would constitute an Affiliated Purchaser pursuant to which such
Affiliated Purchaser shall waive any right to bring any action in connection
with such Notes against Agent, in its capacity as such.

Each Affiliated Purchaser agrees to notify Agent and the other Purchasers
promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) if it acquires any
Person who is also a Purchaser, and each Purchaser agrees to notify Agent and
the other Purchasers promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days)
if it becomes an Affiliated Purchaser. Such notice shall contain the type of
information required and be delivered to the same addressee as set forth in
Exhibit 16.3(d)(B).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Affiliated
Purchaser that has purchased Notes pursuant to this subsection (d) may, in their
sole discretion, contribute, directly or indirectly, principal amount of such
Notes, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to the Issuer for the
purpose of cancelling and extinguishing such Term Notes. Upon the date of such
contribution, assignment or transfer, (x) the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of Notes shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the Notes
then held by the Issuer and (y) the Issuer shall promptly provide notice to
Agent of such contribution of such Notes and the Issuer, upon receipt of such
notice, shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable Notes in the Register.

(e)       Any Purchaser may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights
and obligations with respect to Notes under this Agreement to the Issuer through
(x) Dutch auctions or other offers to purchase open to all Purchasers on a pro
rata basis or (y) open market purchase on a non-pro rata basis; provided that
(i) the principal amount of such Notes, along with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, so assigned or transferred to the Issuer shall be deemed
automatically cancelled and extinguished on the date of such assignment or
transfer, (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes of the
remaining Purchasers shall reflect such cancellation and extinguishing of the
Notes then held by the Issuer and (iii) the Issuer shall promptly provide notice
to Agent and the Purchasers of such assignment, transfer and cancellation of
such Notes, and the Issuer shall reflect the cancellation of the applicable
Notes in the Register.

(f)       (i) Each Note Party authorizes each Purchaser to disclose to any
prospective purchaser any and all financial information in such Purchaser’s
possession concerning such Note Party which has been delivered to such Purchaser
by or on behalf of such Note Party pursuant to this Agreement or in connection

  139 

60358086_160358086_13

 

with such Purchaser’s credit evaluation of such Note Party and (ii) the Issuer
authorizes each Purchaser to disclose to any prospective purchaser any and all
information specified in, and meeting the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4) under
the Securities Act which has been delivered to such Purchaser by the Issuer
pursuant to Section 16.4 hereof, in each case, solely to the extent such
prospective purchaser agrees to substantially similar confidentiality provisions
as set forth in Section 16.18 hereof in favor of the Issuer.

(g)       In addition to any other assignment or participation permitted
pursuant to this Section 16.3, any Purchaser may assign and/or pledge all or any
portion of its Notes and the other Obligations owed by or to such Purchaser, to
secure obligations of such Purchaser, including, without limitation, to any
Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the
Board of Governors and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve
Bank or any central bank; provided, no Purchaser, as between the Issuer and such
Purchaser, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of
any such assignment and pledge, and provided further, in no event shall the
applicable Federal Reserve Bank, central bank, pledgee or trustee be considered
to be a “Purchaser” or be entitled to require the assigning Purchaser to take or
omit to take any action hereunder.

(h)       Upon original issuance thereof, and until such time as the same is no
longer required under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the
Notes (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or substitution thereof) shall
bear the following legend:

“THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED
(THE “SECURITIES ACT”). THE HOLDER MAY NOT OFFER, SELL, TRANSFER, ASSIGN,
PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATE, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSE OF OR ENCUMBER THIS NOTE EXCEPT (I)
PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT OR PROSPECTUS UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER AND IN
COMPLIANCE WITH ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW, RESPECTIVELY, OR WITH AN
EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION OR PROSPECTUS REQUIREMENTS AND (II) IN
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16.3 OF THAT CERTAIN NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED
AUGUST 8, 2014, AMONG THE ISSUER, HOLDINGS, THE PURCHASERS FROM TIME TO TIME
PARTY THERETO, THE AGENT AND THE OTHER NOTE PARTIES FROM TIME TO TIME PARTY
THERETO (EACH AS DEFINED THEREIN).”

(i)       In connection with any sale, assignment or transfer contemplated by
this Section 16.3, it shall be a condition precedent to such sale, assignment or
transfer that, unless the Notes are registered under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws (i) the prospective purchaser, assignee or
transferee deliver to the Agent an administrative questionnaire in form
satisfactory to the Agent and (ii) either (A) the prospective purchaser,
assignee or transferee deliver to the Issuer a written certification (1) that it
is a QIB or (2) containing representations substantially similar to the
representations set forth in Article XVII hereof (other than the representations
contained in (A) Section 17.3(ii), (B) the second sentence of Section 17.5 or
(C) Section 17.7), but made by the prospective purchaser, assignee or transferee
with respect to the purchase, assignment or

  140 

60358086_160358086_13

 

transfer of the Notes mutatis mutandis or (B) the prospective seller, assignor
or transferor deliver to the Issuer a written certification in form an substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer, that the prospective sale, assignment or
transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from registration under the
Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, and
applicable state securities laws. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to
the contrary, the Agent shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine
or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer or exchange
imposed under any applicable law (including, without limitation, the Securities
Act) with respect to any transfer or exchange of any interest in any Note
(including any transfers or exchanges between or among Participants).

16.4.       Register. The Issuer shall keep at its principal office a register
(the “Register”) in which the Issuer shall provide for the registration of the
Notes (including, without limitation, principal amounts and interest thereon)
and the transfer of the same. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Notes in accordance with Section 16.3 at the principal office of the Issuer and
at the written request of the applicable Purchaser, the Issuer shall record such
transfer in the Register and the Issuer shall, at its expense, promptly execute
and deliver one or more new Notes, as applicable, of like tenor and of a like
principal amount, registered in the name of such transferee or transferees and,
in the case of a transfer in part, a new Note in the appropriate amount
registered in the names of such transferor. While the Notes are “restricted
securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, the
Issuer shall provide the Purchasers with the information specified in, and
meeting the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act in
connection with any proposed transfer. The requirement that the ownership and
transfer of the Notes shall be reflected in the Register is intended to ensure
that the Notes qualify as an obligation issued in “registered form” as that term
is used in Sections 163(f), 871(h), and 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code and
shall be interpreted accordingly and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Agreement, no Notes (or any part thereof) may be sold, assigned or
transferred without such sale, assignment or transfer being reflected in the
Register. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent demonstrable
error, and each Person whose name is recorded in the Register shall be treated
as the holder of the Note for all purposes under this Agreement; provided,
failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall
not affect Issuer’s Obligations in respect of the Notes. The Register shall be
available for inspection by any Purchaser (with respect to any entry relating to
such Purchaser’s Note) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice and a copy of the Register shall be provided to the
Agent upon its request.

16.5.       Exchange. Notes may be exchanged at the option of any Purchaser
thereof for Notes of a like aggregate principal amount, but in different
denominations. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer,
at such Purchaser’s expense, will execute and deliver the Notes that the
Purchaser making the exchange is entitled to receive.

16.6.       Replacement Notes. If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the
Issuer and the Issuer receives evidence to its satisfaction of the ownership and
destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue a replacement
Note. If required by the Issuer, an unsecured indemnity must be supplied by the
applicable Purchaser that is sufficient in the judgment of the Issuer to protect
the Issuer from any loss that it may suffer if a Note is replaced.

16.7.       Application of Payments. To the extent that any Note Party makes a
payment or Agent or

  141 

60358086_160358086_13

 

any Purchaser receives any payment or proceeds of the Collateral for any Note
Party’s benefit, which are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent
or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in
possession, receiver, custodian or any other party under any bankruptcy law,
common law or equitable cause, then, to such extent, the Obligations or part
thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue as if such
payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Purchaser.

16.8.       Indemnity.

(a)       Except for taxes (other than Other Taxes) which shall be covered by
Section 3.9 only, the Note Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify Agent,
each Purchaser and each of their respective Affiliates, successors and assigns
and the officers, directors, attorneys, advisors, employees, agents, controlling
persons and members of each of the foregoing (each an “Indemnitee” and,
collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, all
reasonable and reasonably documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses and
disbursements (but limited, in the case of legal fees, expenses and
disbursements, to the number of counsel set forth in the paragraphs labeled
“First” and “Third” in Section 11.6 of this Agreement), and actual and direct
losses (other than lost profits) of such Indemnitees arising out of or relating
to any claim or any litigation, investigation, or other proceeding, in each case
that relates to any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the other Note
Documents, except to the extent that any of the foregoing arises out of (x) the
fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of or a material breach
of this Agreement or the other Note Documents (except to the extent arising out
of any action or omission taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent at the
written direction of the Required Purchasers) by the party being indemnified or
its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors and
agents (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable judgment), or (y) disputes solely among the Indemnitees (other
than disputes involving the Agent) and not arising out of any act or omission of
any Note Party or any of their Affiliates or (z) entering into a settlement
agreement related thereto without the written consent of the Issuer (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). No Note Party
nor any of its respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries or the respective
directors, officers, employees, advisors and agents of the foregoing shall be
liable for any indirect, special, punitive, or consequential damages (other than
in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third
party) in connection with this Agreement or any other Note Document or the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Additionally, if any stamping,
recording or similar taxes (“Other Taxes”) shall be payable by Agent, the
Purchasers or the Note Parties on account of the execution or delivery of this
Agreement, or the execution, delivery, issuance or recording of any of the other
Note Documents, or the creation or repayment of any of the Obligations
hereunder, by reason of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect, the
Issuer will pay within 10 Business Days (or will promptly reimburse Agent and
the Purchasers for payment thereof within 10 Business Days) all such Other
Taxes, including interest and penalties thereon, and will indemnify and hold the
Indemnitees harmless from and against all liability in connection therewith
provided, that the Issuer have received written demand therefore specifying in
reasonable detail the nature and amount of such taxes.

  142 

60358086_160358086_13

 

(b)       To the extent that any of the Note Parties fail to pay any amount
required to be paid by it to the Agent for the Agent’s own account under
paragraph (a) of this Section 16.8, each Purchaser severally agrees to pay to
the Agent its pro rata share (based on the proportion that the then outstanding
principal amount of the Notes held by such Purchaser bears to the aggregate then
outstanding principal amount of the Notes) of such unpaid amount; provided that
no Purchaser shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such unpaid
amount that is found by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction to have directly resulted solely and directly from the
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment).

(c)       The indemnities contained in this Section 16.8 shall survive the
resignation or removal of the Agent and the termination of this Agreement and
the other Note Documents.

16.9.       Notice. Any notice or request hereunder may be given to Issuer or to
Agent or any Purchaser at their respective addresses set forth below or at such
other address as may hereafter be specified in a notice designated as a notice
of change of address under this Section. Any notice, request, demand, direction

shall be given or made by telephone or in writing (which includes by means of

16.10.       Survival. The obligations of the Note Parties under Section 16.8
and the obligations of the Purchasers under Section 14.6, shall survive
termination of this Agreement and the other Note Documents and payment in full
of the Obligations.

16.11.       Severability. If any part of this Agreement is contrary to,
prohibited by, or deemed invalid under Applicable Laws, such provision shall be
inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or
invalid, but the remainder hereof shall not be invalidated thereby and shall be
given effect so far as possible.

16.12.       Expenses. Except for taxes (other than Other Taxes) which shall be
solely covered by Section 3.9, (a) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket
costs and expenses including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and
disbursements (but subject to the number of counsel set forth in the paragraph
labeled “First” in Section 11.6 of this Agreement) incurred by Agent on its
behalf or on behalf of the Purchasers and (b) reasonable and documented
attorney’s fees and disbursements (but subject to the number of counsel set
forth in the paragraph labeled “Third” in Section 11.6 of this Agreement)
incurred by the Purchasers, in each case, (i) in all efforts made to enforce
payment of any Obligation or effect collection of any Collateral or enforcement
of this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents, or (ii) in connection with
the entering into, modification, amendment and administration of this Agreement
or any of the other Note Documents or any consents or waivers hereunder or
thereunder and all related agreements, documents and instruments, or (iii) in
instituting, maintaining, preserving, enforcing and foreclosing on Agent’s
security interest in or Lien on any of the Collateral, or maintaining,
preserving or enforcing any of Agent’s or any Purchaser’s rights hereunder or
under any of the other Note Documents and under all related agreements,
documents and instruments, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or
(iv) in defending or prosecuting any actions or proceedings arising out of or
relating to Agent’s or any Purchaser’s transactions with any Note Party or (v)
in connection with the performance of its obligations under the Note Documents

16.13.       Injunctive Relief. Each Note Party recognizes that, in the event
any Note Party fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or
liabilities under this Agreement, or threatens to fail to perform, observe or
discharge such obligations or liabilities, any remedy at law may prove to be
inadequate relief to the Purchasers; therefore, Agent, if Agent so requests,
shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case
without the necessity of proving that actual damages are not an adequate remedy.

  145

Affiliates of such Purchaser and each Note Party hereby authorizes each
Purchaser to share any information delivered to such Purchaser by such Note

banking authority regulating such affiliated depository institution or foreign
bank) shall deliver to Agent the certification, or, if applicable,

XVII.REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS.

In order to induce Holdings, the Issuer, the Agent and the other Note Parties to
enter into this Agreement and, with respect to the Issuer, to issue the Notes,
each Purchaser individually (but not on behalf of any other Purchaser)
represents, warrants and agrees for the benefit of Holdings, the Issuer, the
Agent and the other Note Parties that:

17.1.       Legal Capacity; Due Authorization. Such Purchaser has full legal
capacity, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to
perform its obligations hereunder and that this Agreement has been duly executed
and delivered by such Purchaser and is the legal, valid and binding obligation
of such Purchaser enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof.

17.2.       Restrictions on Transfer. Such Purchaser has been advised that the
Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities
laws and, therefore, cannot be resold unless (i) they are registered under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from
such registration requirements is available and (ii) in compliance with Section
16.3 of this Agreement, and that the Notes may have to be held by such Purchaser
for an indefinite period of time. Such Purchaser is aware that the Issuer is
under no obligation to effect any such registration with respect to the Notes or
to file for or comply with any exemption from registration. Such Purchaser is
purchasing the Notes to be acquired by such Purchaser hereunder for its own
account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the
distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, such Purchaser acknowledges and
agrees that it shall not be permitted to effect any sale, assignment or transfer
of the Notes if, as a result of such sale, assignment or transfer, any Note
Party would be required to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act.

17.3.       Accredited Investor, etc. Such Purchaser has such knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of such investment, is able to incur a complete loss of
such investment and to bear the economic risk of such investment for an
indefinite period of time. Such Purchaser (i) is an “accredited investor” as
that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act, (ii) is a
“qualified institutional buyer” as such term is defined in Rule 144A of the
Securities Act (a “QIB”) and (iii) has been represented by counsel in the
purchase of the Notes to be purchased by it and is aware of the limitations of
state and federal securities laws with respect to the disposition of the Notes.

  149 

60358086_160358086_13

 

17.4.       Reliance on Exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the Notes
are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the
registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and
that the Issuer is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such
Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order
to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such
Purchaser to acquire the Notes.

17.5.       Information. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any, have been
furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations
of the Issuer and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Notes that
have been requested by such Purchaser. Such Purchaser and its advisors, if any,
have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Note Parties. Neither
such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such
Purchaser or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or
affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the representations and warranties of
the Note Parties contained herein. Such Purchaser understands that its
investment in the Notes involves a high degree of risk and is able to afford a
complete loss of such investment. Such Purchaser has sought such accounting,
legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed
investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Notes.

17.6.       No Governmental Review. Such Purchaser understands that no United
States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency
has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Notes or the
fairness or suitability of the investment in the Notes nor have such authorities
passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Notes.

17.7.       Validity; Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of such Purchaser and shall
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of such Purchaser
enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other
similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable
creditors’ rights and remedies.

XVIII.REGISTERED INVESTMENT COMPANIES

A copy of the Declaration of Trust of each of the undersigned Purchasers that
are registered investment companies (each, a “Trust”) is on file with the
Secretary of State of either The Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the State of
Delaware, as applicable.  The Issuer and the other Note Parties acknowledge that
the obligations of or arising out of this Agreement are not binding upon any of
a Trust’s trustees, officers, employees, agents or shareholders individually,
but are binding solely upon the assets and property of each relevant Trust in
accordance with its proportionate interest hereunder.  If this instrument is
executed by a Trust on behalf of one or more series of such Trust, you further
acknowledge that the assets and liabilities of each series of the Trust are
separate and distinct and that the obligations of or arising out of this
Agreement are binding solely upon the assets or property of the series on whose
behalf the Trust has executed this instrument. 

  150 

60358086_160358086_13

 

If a Trust has executed this instrument on behalf of more than one series of
such Trust, you also agree that the obligations of each series hereunder shall
be several and not joint, in accordance with its proportionate interest
hereunder, and you agree not to proceed against any series for the obligations
of another.
