 15 







 6.10 Use of Real Property. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries
owns any real property. The leased real properties reflected on the Financial Statements or used in connection with the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, are used and operated in compliance and conformity with all material Contractual
Obligations and Requirements of Law, except to the extent that the failure so to comply could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each lease relating to leased real property reflected on the Financial Statements or used in

 (b) There is no action, suit, proceeding, investigation, examination, audit, or claim now pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened by any Governmental Authority regarding any Taxes relating to the Borrower or its Subsidiaries. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered into an agreement or waiver or been requested to enter into an agreement or
waiver extending any statute of limitations relating to the payment or collection of Taxes of such Person nor is the Borrower aware of any circumstances that would cause the taxable years or other taxable periods of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries
not to be subject to the normally applicable statute of limitations. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has provided, with respect to itself or property held by it, any consent under Section 341 of the Code. Neither the Borrower

amount of the receivable. 
 6.12 Financial Condition. 
 (a) The Borrower has made available to the Purchaser true, correct and complete copies of (i) the audited consolidated and
consolidating balance sheets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated and consolidating statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flow, together with the notes thereto, of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the year then ended, together with the report of the auditor thereon (collectively, the 

  

 16 







 
“Annual Financial Statements”), and (iii) the unaudited consolidated and consolidating balance sheets of Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2007, and the related consolidated and consolidating statements of income, members’ equity and cash flow, of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the eight-month period then ended (the “Interim
Financial Statements,” and together with the Annual Financial Statements, the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position of the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries, as of the respective dates thereof, and the results of operations and cash flows thereof, as of the respective dates or for the respective periods set forth therein, all in conformity with GAAP consistently applied during the
periods involved, except as otherwise set forth in the notes thereto and subject, in the case of the Interim Financial Statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments. As of the dates of the Financial Statements, neither Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries had a known obligation, indebtedness or liability (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise, and whether due or to become due), which was not reflected or reserved against in the balance sheets which are part of the Financial
Statements, except for those incurred in the ordinary course of business and which are fully reflected on the books of account of Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, or which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

the Code, respectively) with respect to the participation of the Borrower therein, which could subject any of the Plans or related trusts, or any trustee, administrator or other fiduciary of any such Plan, or the Borrower, any Subsidiary or the
Purchaser, or any other party dealing with the Plans, to the penalties or excise tax imposed on prohibited transactions by Section 502 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

with or infringement of the Rights of others. There is no breach of any Contractual Obligations relating to the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ Rights (other than computer software and programs) and of registrations of patents,
trademarks, service marks and copyrights including any applications therefor constituting such Rights, which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in breach of any
obligation to pay any royalty with respect to the Rights, where the failure of such payment obligation would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claims have been asserted by any Person with respect to the use by the Borrower
or its Subsidiaries of any such Rights or challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any license or agreement held by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or to which it is a party relating to any such Rights, which claims, if true,
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as conducted and as proposed to be conducted does not and will not, in any material respect, conflict with the Rights of
others, and neither the Borrower nor its Subsidiaries has received any communication alleging any such violation. To the Borrower’s knowledge, no third party is infringing or violating any of the Rights of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries. To
the Borrower’s knowledge, no person

is in default thereunder, nor does any condition exist that with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute such a default. No approval or consent of any Person is needed for any material Contractual Obligations to continue to be in full force
and effect after giving effect to the Transactions.

indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, Subsidiaries, partners, members, attorneys, accountants and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified
Party”) to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel and costs of investigation
incurred by an Indemnified Party in any action or proceeding between any Loan Party and such Indemnified Party (or Indemnified Parties) or between an Indemnified Party (or Indemnified Parties) and any third party or otherwise) or other liabilities
or losses (collectively, “Liabilities”), in each case resulting from or arising out of any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement of any Loan Party in this Agreement or any other 

  

 32 







 
Note Document, including without limitation, the failure to make payment when due of amounts owing pursuant to this Agreement or any other Note Document, on
the due date thereof (whether at the scheduled maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) or any legal, administrative or other actions (including, without limitation, actions brought by any holders of equity or Debt of any Loan Party or derivative
actions brought by any Person claiming through or in any Loan Party’s name), proceedings or investigations (whether formal or informal), or written threats thereof, based upon, relating to or arising out of the Note Documents, the transactions
contemplated thereby, or any Indemnified Party’s role therein or in the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be liable under this Section 11.1 to an Indemnified Party to the extent
that such Liabilities resulted primarily from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party; provided, further, that if and to the extent that such indemnification is unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower
shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such Liabilities which shall be permissible under applicable laws. In connection with the obligation of the Borrower to indemnify for expenses as set forth above, the Borrower
further agrees, upon presentation of appropriate invoices containing reasonable detail, to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all such reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel and costs
of investigation incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Liabilities) as they are incurred by such Indemnified Party. 
 11.2 Procedure; Notification. Each Indemnified Party under this Article 11 will, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action, investigation, claim or other proceeding against such Indemnified
Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Borrower under this Article 11, notify the Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof. The omission of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Borrower of any such action shall not
relieve the Borrower from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party unless, such omission substantially and irrevocably impairs the Borrower’s ability to defend the action, claim or other proceeding. In case any such action,
claim or other proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Borrower of the commencement thereof, the Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any action, claim or proceeding in which the
Borrower, on the one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, is, or is reasonably likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at the Borrower’ expense and to control its own
defense of such action, claim or proceeding if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between any Loan Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that
would make such separate representation advisable; provided, that in no event shall the Borrower be required to pay fees and expenses under this Article 11 for more than one firm of attorneys in any jurisdiction in any one legal action or
group of related legal actions. The Borrower agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to
the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Purchaser and each other
Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding or the Purchaser or other such named Indemnified Party consents thereto. The rights accorded to Indemnified Parties hereunder shall be in addition
to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise. 
 11.3 Survival. The
terms and provisions of this Article 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SEC, attaching such press release. Except as may be required by applicable law including the Borrower’s obligations to file reports with the SEC,
neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall issue a publicity release or announcement or otherwise make any public disclosure concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, without prior approval by the Purchaser. If any
announcement is required by law to be made by Borrower or any Subsidiary, prior to making such announcement Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary will deliver a draft of such announcement to Purchaser and shall give Purchaser an opportunity to

favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Note Document. No knowledge of, or investigation, including without limitation, due diligence investigation, conducted by, or on
