SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

THIS PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT (the “Participation Agreement”) is entered into as of the 1st day of April, 2009 by and between NORTHEAST
COMMUNITY BANK (the “Employer”), and SUSAN BARILE, an executive of the Employer (the “Participant”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Employer has adopted the Northeast Community Bank Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) effective as of January 1, 2006, and the Administrator has determined that the Participant shall be eligible to participate
in the Plan on the terms and conditions set forth in this Participation Agreement and the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the agreements and covenants set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.           Definitions. Except
as otherwise provided, or unless the context otherwise requires, the terms used in this Participation Agreement shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Plan.

2.           Plan. Plan means
the Northeast Community Bank Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, as the same may be altered or supplemented in any validly executed Participation Agreement.

3.           Incorporation of Plan. The
Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, is hereby incorporated into this Participation Agreement as if fully set forth herein, and the parties hereby agree to be bound by all of the terms and provisions contained in the Plan. The Participant hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and, subject to the foregoing, confirms his understanding and acceptance of all of the terms and conditions contained therein.

4.           Effective Date of Participation. The
effective date of the Participant’s participation in the Plan shall be April 1, 2009 (the “Participation Date”).

5.           Normal Retirement Age. The
Participant’s Normal Retirement Age for purposes of the Plan and this Participation Agreement is age sixty-five (65).

6.           Year of Service. The
Participant shall be credited with one year of service for each calendar year the Participant has been employed by the Employer, whether such employment began before or after the Participation Date.

7.           Prohibition Against Funding. Should
any investment be acquired in connection with the liabilities assumed under this Plan and Participation Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Participants and Beneficiaries shall not have any right with respect to, or claim against, such assets, nor shall any such purchase be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Employer and the Participants, their Beneficiaries or any other person. Any such assets shall be and remain a part of the general, unpledged
and unrestricted assets of the Employer, subject to the claims of its general creditors. It is the express intention of the parties hereto that this arrangement shall be unfunded for tax purposes and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.

  

  

  

The Participant shall be required to look to the provisions of the Plan and to the Employer itself for enforcement of any and all benefits due under this Participation Agreement, and, to the extent the Participant acquires a right to receive payment under the Plan and this Participation Agreement, such right shall be no greater than the
right of any unsecured general creditor of the Employer. The Employer shall be designated the owner and beneficiary of any investment acquired in connection with its obligation under the Plan and this Participation Agreement.

8.           Provisions Related to SERP Benefit.

	
  
	
(a)
	
Normal Retirement SERP Benefit. Upon the Participant’s termination of employment upon or after attaining Normal Retirement Age, the Participant shall receive an annual benefit of fifty percent (50%) of the Participant’s final average base salary over the immediately preceding full thirty-six
(36) calendar months prior to termination of employment, paid for the period and on the terms provided herein. The Participant’s base salary calculation shall be provided by Employer’s payroll department.

	
  
	
(b)
	
Early Retirement SERP Benefit.  In the event the Participant terminates employment upon or after attaining age sixty (60) and completing at least twenty (20) Years of Service, but prior to attaining Normal Retirement Age, the Participant shall receive the SERP Benefit described in Paragraph
8(a), reduced by .25% for each month by which the Participant’s age at termination of employment is less than the Normal Retirement Age.  Notwithstanding anything in the Participation Agreement or the Plan to the contrary, no benefit shall be payable to the Participant in the event of his termination of employment prior to attaining age sixty (60) (other than in connection with his termination of employment following a Change in Control, or by reason of his death or disability).

	
  
	
(c)
	
Form of SERP Benefit Payment. Subject to the restrictions of Section 4.3 of the Plan, the annual SERP Benefit shall be paid in equal monthly installments beginning not later than thirty (30) days after the Participant’s termination date until all benefits are fully paid.  The annual SERP
Benefit shall be paid for the greater of (i) the Participant’s life or (ii) fifteen (15) years, following the Participant’s Normal Retirement, eligible Early Retirement, or termination of employment by reason of disability (with payments beginning at age 65 if the Participant terminates employment due to disability).

	
  
	
(d)
	
Post-Retirement Death Benefit. The Participant’s annual SERP Benefit shall be payable for a minimum period of fifteen (15) years. In the event that the Participant dies during the minimum fifteen (15) year SERP Benefit payment period, the Participant’s Beneficiary, as designated pursuant to
this Participation Agreement, will continue to receive such payments until the minimum benefits are fully paid.

	
  
	
(e)
	
Pre-Retirement Death Benefit. In the event of the Participant’s death prior to Normal Retirement, the Participant’s Beneficiary(ies) shall be entitled to a pre-retirement death benefit equal to the actuarial equivalent (calculated as described in Paragraph 8(g) below) of the unreduced SERP
Benefit payment described in Paragraph 8(a) of this Agreement. This benefit shall be distributed to the Participant’s Beneficiary(ies) in a lump sum amount as soon as administratively feasible upon Employer notification.

	
  
	
(f)
	
Disability SERP Benefit. In the event of the Participant’s termination of employment by reason of disability, if the Participant has attained Normal Retirement Age or is eligible for Early Retirement, the Participant shall receive a SERP benefit determined under Paragraph 8(a) or 8(b), as appropriate.  If
the Participant has not attained Normal Retirement Age and is not eligible for Early Retirement on his termination date, the Participant shall receive a SERP benefit equal to the value of the Participant’s Accrued SERP Benefit, payable as provided in Paragraph 8(c) of this Participation Agreement.

  

  

  

For purposes of this Participation Agreement and the Plan, “disability” means that the Participant (i) is unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not
less than 12 months, or (ii) is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than 3 months under a disability program covering employees of the Employer.  The Administrator shall have full and final authority, which shall be exercised in its discretion, to determine conclusively whether the Participant
is disabled, and shall make such determination consistent with Section 409A.

	
  
	
(g)
	
Change of Control SERP Benefit.  In lieu of the benefit payable under any other provision of this Participation Agreement and the Plan, but subject to the restrictions of Section 4.3 of the Plan, upon the Participant’s termination of employment (other than for Cause or by reason of his
death) following a Change of Control, the Participant shall receive the unreduced SERP Benefit described in Paragraph 8(a) (i.e., a benefit determined without regard to the Participant’s age or Years of Service) in the form of a lump sum payment that is actuarially equivalent to the Normal Retirement benefit (calculated as of the date of termination and using the discount rate specified in Code Section 1274 in effect for the period of termination).  Such payment shall be made to the Participant
(or his beneficiary) not later than thirty (30) days after the Participant’s termination date.

9.           General Provisions

(a)           No Assignment.

No benefit under the Plan or this Participation Agreement shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, or charge, and any such action shall be void for all purposes of the Plan or this Participation Agreement. No benefit shall in any manner be subject to the debts, contracts,
liabilities, engagements, or torts of any person, nor shall it be subject to attachments or other legal process for or against any person, except to such extent as may be required by law.

  

  

  

(b)           Headings.

The headings contained in the Participation Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit, enlarge, or describe the scope or intent of this Plan nor in any way shall they affect this Participation Agreement or the construction of any provision thereof.

(a)           The Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to extend irrevocably the Maturity Date until August 11, 2015 (as applicable, the “Extended Maturity Date”), provided,
that (i) Phase I EBITDA in respect of the twelve (12) month period ending on June 30, 2014 is not less than $40,000,000, (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Indebtedness of the Phase I Subsidiaries as of the Maturity Date is less than $10,000,000, (iii) the aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness of the Company, the Subsidiary Note Parties and the Phase I Subsidiaries that is due and payable on or before November 11, 2015 does not exceed $10,000,000, (iv) no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing at such time, (v) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary Note Party has made (or will make) any Investment in any Subsequent Phase Subsidiary during the period from August 11, 2013 to the Extended Maturity Date and (vi) the Company has provided Holder with an irrevocable written notice of such election, via electronic delivery or by overnight courier, at any time at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the Maturity Date certifying that the foregoing conditions shall be satisfied as of the Maturity
Date and including a calculation of the Phase I EBITDA required by the foregoing clause (i).

 

(b)           Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents to the contrary, if the Notes shall remain outstanding after the fifth (5th) anniversary of the initial issuance thereof and the aggregate amount that would be includible in the gross
income of the Holders with respect to the Notes (within the meaning of the Code section 163(i)) for all periods ending on or before any Interest Payment Date that occurs after that fifth (5th) anniversary (the “Aggregate Accrual”) would otherwise exceed an amount equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of interest to be paid (within the meaning of Code section 163(i)) under the Notes on or before such Interest Payment Date and (ii)

constituting “applicable high yield discount obligations” within the meaning of Code section 163(i), up to an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Aggregate Accrual over the Maximum Accrual, and the amount of such payment shall be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an amount of interest to be paid (within the meaning of Code section 163(i)(2)(B)(1)) under the Notes.

Notes stating the aggregate principal amount of this Note and the Other Notes that may be redeemed in connection with such Triggering Event in accordance with the proviso in Section 5(a).  At any time after the earlier of the Holder’s receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and the Holder’s becoming aware of a Triggering Event (other than a Change of Control), the Holder may require the Company to redeem up to all of the Principal by delivering written notice thereof via electronic delivery
and overnight courier (“Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder”) to the Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder shall indicate (i) the amount of Principal that the Holder is submitting for redemption, (ii) the applicable Redemption Price as determined and calculated pursuant to Section 5(a) above and (iii) the nature of the
Triggering Event to the extent the Holder did not receive a Notice of Triggering Event; provided that a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder may only be sent during the period beginning on and including the date of the Triggering Event and ending on and including the date which is twenty (20) Trading Days after the date on which the Holder receives a Notice of Triggering Event from the Company with respect to such Triggering Event. 

 

(e)           Payment of Redemption Price other than in Connection with a Change of Control.  Upon the Company’s receipt of a Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of the Holder from any holder of the Other
Notes, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder via electronic delivery of the Company’s receipt of such notice(s).  Each holder that has sent such a notice shall, if required pursuant to Section 5(g), promptly submit to the Company such holder’s Note that such holder has elected to have redeemed.  The Company shall deliver the applicable Redemption Price in cash to the Holder within five (5) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of a Notice of Redemption at Option
of Holder, provided that the Holder’s Note shall have been so delivered to the Company.  If the Company is unable to redeem all of the Notes submitted for redemption, the Company shall (i) redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the Notes based on the principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption by all Holders and (ii) in
addition to any remedy the Holder may have under this Note, the Securities Purchase Agreement and any other Transaction Document, pay to the Holder interest at a rate equal to the lesser of 1.0% per month (prorated for partial months) or the highest lawful interest rate in respect of the unpaid Redemption Price until paid in full or until delivery of a Void Optional Redemption Notice (as defined in Section 5(f)).

 

(f)           Void Redemption.  In the event that the Company does not pay the Redemption Price within the time period set forth in Section 5(e), at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such Redemption
Price in full, the Holder shall have the option to, in lieu of redemption, require the Company to promptly credit to the Holder the Principal that was submitted for redemption by the Holder under this Section 5 and for which the Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) has not been paid (or return any or all of the Note or any portion thereof representing such Principal) by sending written notice thereof to the Company via electronic delivery (the “Void
Optional Redemption Notice”).  Upon the Company’s receipt of such Void Optional Redemption Notice, (i) the Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder shall be null and void with respect to the Principal subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice and (ii) the Company shall promptly return or credit to the Holder any Principal or Note, as applicable, subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice. 

 

(g)           Book-Entry.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon redemption of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender
this Note to the Company unless all of the Principal is being redeemed.  The Holder and the Company shall each maintain records showing the Principal redeemed and the dates of such redemptions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the other, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such redemption.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company establishing the Principal to which the Holder is entitled shall be controlling

 

  

14

  

and determinative in the absence of demonstrable error.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is redeemed in part as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a
new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining Principal represented by this Note.  The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following prepayment or redemption of any portion of this Note, the Principal of this Note may be less than the principal amount stated on the face hereof.

arithmetic calculations to the Holder via electronic delivery within two (2) Trading Days of receipt of Notice of Redemption Upon Change of Control or Notice of Triggering Event or other date of determination, as the case may be.  If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the arithmetic calculation of the Redemption Price within one (1) Trading Day of such disputed arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Company shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Trading
Days) submit via electronic delivery the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Redemption Price to the Company’s independent, outside accountants.  The Company shall direct the accountants to perform the calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than two (2) Trading Days from the time it receives the disputed calculations.  Such accountant’s calculation shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.  The costs and expenses
of the accountant engaged pursuant to this Section 5(h) shall be borne equally by the Company and the Holder.  In the event of a redemption pursuant to this Section 5 of less than all of the Principal, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a replacement note representing the remaining Principal that has not been redeemed, if required pursuant to Section 5(g).

Cash Collateral Control Agreement is no longer in effect, the Company shall pay the balance of such Interest directly on such Interest Payment Date.

 

(b)           PIK Portion.  Additional Interest shall be payable at a rate per annum equal to 8.0% on each Interest Payment Date to the Holder of this Note on such Interest Payment Date by increasing the principal

Any Interest added to the principal amount of this Note pursuant to this
Section 6(b) shall thereafter bear Interest at the interest rates as provided in this Section 6.

due and payable, in cash, all without presentment, demand, protest or further act or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Company and (ii) exercise any and all rights and remedies available to the holder of this Note under this Note, the Securities Purchase Agreement, or any other Transaction Document at law or in equity.  In addition to any remedy the Holder may have under this Note, the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, such Acceleration Amount
shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Default Rate until paid in full.  Nothing in this Section 9 shall limit any other rights the Holder may have under this Note, the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including Section 5 of this Note.

 

(c)           Void Acceleration.  In the event that the Company does not pay the Acceleration Amount within five (5) Trading Days of this Note becoming due under Section 9(b), at any time thereafter and until
the Company pays such unpaid Acceleration Amount in full, the Holder shall have the option to, in lieu of redemption, require the Company to promptly return this Note (to the extent this Note has been previously delivered to the Company), in whole or any portion thereof, to the Holder, by sending written notice thereof to the Company via electronic delivery (the “Void Acceleration
Notice”).  Upon the Company’s receipt of such Void Acceleration Notice, (i) the acceleration pursuant to Section 9(b) shall be null and void with respect to the portion of this Note subject to such Void Acceleration Notice and, (ii) the Company shall promptly return the portion of this Note (to the extent this Note has been previously delivered to the Company) subject to such Void Acceleration Notice.

(i) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (ii) the commencement of any litigation or proceeding affecting the Company or any Subsidiary (A) in which the amount involved is $2,000,000 or more and not covered by insurance, (B) in which injunctive or similar relief is sought or (C) which relates to any Transaction Document or (iii) any development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

11.           Vote to Change the Terms of the Notes.  Except as otherwise expressly specified herein, the written consent of the Company and the Majority Holders shall be required for any change in the Guarantee
and Collateral Agreement or the Notes (including this Note) other than an extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof; provided that the consent of all Holders adversely affected thereby shall be required for (a) reductions in the principal amount of the Notes, (b) extensions of the Maturity Date (other than an extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 4(a) hereof) or the Extended Maturity Date, (c) reductions in the
Cash Interest Rate, the interest rate in Section 6(b) or any premium payable pursuant to Sections 2(b) or 5(a), (d) extensions of any Interest Payment Date, the date of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2(c) or the date of any redemption pursuant to Section 5 and (e)

 

  

25

  

 

changes to any provision of this Section 11. Upon receipt of the consent of the Majority Holders or all relevant Holders, as applicable, each Note shall be deemed amended thereby.

 

12.           Lost or Stolen Notes.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note and, in the case of loss, theft or
destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company satisfactory to the Company and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Note, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Note of like tenor and date.

 

13.           Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief.  The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note,
at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).  No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note.  The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided
herein.  Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof).  The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate.  The
Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

 

14.           Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction.  No specific provision contained in this Note shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein.  This Note shall be deemed
to be jointly drafted by the Company and all Holders pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.

 

15.           Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver.  No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

 

16.           Notice.  Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Note must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon
receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by electronic delivery (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one (1) Trading Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

17.           Transfer of this Note.  The Holder may assign or transfer this Note or some or all of its rights hereunder at any time without the consent of the Company after the Transfer Restriction Termination
Event, subject to compliance with Section 4.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to compliance with Section 4.1 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Holder may assign or transfer this Note or some or all of its rights hereunder at any time without the consent of the Company to any Affiliate of the Holder or to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  The Company shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights and obligations under this
Note without the prior written consent of all Holders and any attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void.  The Company shall maintain an office where the Notes may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”).  The Registrar shall keep a register of the Notes and of their transfer and exchange.  The Company may change the Registrar upon written
notice to each holder of Notes.  Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such Notes and for all other purposes.

 

18.           Payment of Collection, Enforcement and Other Costs.  If (a) this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding;
or (b) an attorney is retained to represent the Holder in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

 

19.           Cancellation.  After all Obligations have been paid in full, this Note shall automatically be deemed canceled, shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation and shall not be reissued.

 

20.           Note Exchangeable for Different Denominations.  In the event of a redemption or transfer pursuant to this Note of less than all of the Principal, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and
delivered to the Holder, upon tender by the Holder of this Note, a new Note of like tenor representing the remaining Principal that has not been so redeemed.  This Note is exchangeable, upon the

 

  

27

  

 

surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Note or Notes containing the same terms and conditions and representing in the aggregate the Principal, and each such new Note will represent such portion of such Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.  The date the Company
issued this Note shall be the Issuance Date hereof regardless of the number of times a new Note shall be issued.

 

21.           Taxes.

 

(a)           Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the Notes, the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction
Document shall be made without any set-off, counterclaim or deduction and free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes; provided that if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 21(a)),
the Holder receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, shall make such deductions and (iii) the Company or such Subsidiary shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law; provided, further, that if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is required to make an additional payment to the Holder
under this Section 21(a), and if the Holder is entitled to a cash refund or credit against cash Taxes payable which is both identifiable and quantifiable by the Holder as being attributable to the imposition of such Indemnified Taxes (a “Tax Refund”), and such Tax Refund may be obtained without increased liability or obligation to the Holder (including any obligation of the Holder to file
Tax returns in jurisdictions where it would not otherwise be obligated to file Tax returns), then, upon the written request of the Company, the Holder shall apply for such Tax Refund and, to the extent such Tax Refund is received by the Holder, shall reimburse the Company or such Subsidiary for such amount as the Holder shall determine to be the proportion of the Tax Refund attributable to such additional payment as will leave the Holder after the reimbursement in the same position as it would have been if the
additional payment had not been required; provided that, if any Tax Refund reimbursed by the Holder to the Company or such Subsidiary is subsequently disallowed, the Company shall repay the Holder such amount (together with interest and any applicable penalty payable to the Holder to the relevant taxing authority) promptly after the Holder notifies the Company of such disallowance.  The Company agrees to reimburse the Holder for the Holder’s
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any, incurred in complying with any request hereunder and agrees that all costs incurred by the Holder in respect of this Section 21(a) may be deducted from the amount of any reimbursement to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of any Tax Refund pursuant to this Section 21(a).  Nothing in this Section 21(a) shall require the Holder to disclose to the Company any of its Tax returns or any other Tax-related information that it deems to be confidential. 

 

(b)           Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall indemnify the Holder, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes paid by the Holder, on
or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the Notes, the Securities Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 21) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate of the Holder as
to the amount of such payment or liability (together with a calculation of such payment or liability and supporting documentation reasonably requested by the Company) under this Section 21 shall be delivered to the Company and shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

 

  

28

  

(c)           Withholding Obligations.  Subject to Sections 21(a) and (b), if the Company is subject to withholding tax obligations under applicable law with respect to any transaction under this Note, then, notwithstanding
any provision to the contrary in this Note, the Company shall be entitled to withhold cash in the amount that the Company is required to withhold.

 

22.           Waiver of Notice.  To the extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default
or enforcement of this Note, Securities Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

 

23.           Governing Law; Jurisdiction.  This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Note shall
be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, including Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.  Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit,
action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service
shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally appoints its General Counsel at the address set forth in Section 16 (the “Company Process Agent”) as agent to receive on behalf of the Company and its property service of copies of the summons and complaint and any other process which may be served in any action referred to above or any other proceeding
in any New York State or Federal court.  In any action or proceeding in a New York State or Federal court sitting in The City of New York, such service may be made on the Company by delivering a copy of such process to the Company in care of the Company Process Agent at such Company Process Agent’s above address and by depositing a copy of such process in the mails by certified or registered air mail, addressed to the Company at the address for such notices to it under this Note (such service
to be effective upon such receipt by the Company Process Agent and the depositing of such process in the mails as aforesaid).  The Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes and directs such Company Process Agent to accept such service on its behalf.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

 

24.           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  THE COMPANY, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AND THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREE NOT TO REQUEST, A TRIAL BY
JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION BASED UPON, OR ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

25.           Effect of Redemption; No Prepayment.  Upon payment of the Redemption Price in accordance with the terms hereof with respect to any portion of the Principal of this Note, such portion of the Principal
of this Note shall be deemed paid in full and shall no longer be deemed outstanding for any purpose.  Except as specifically set forth in this Note, the Company does not have any right, option, or obligation, to pay any portion of the Principal at any time prior to the Maturity Date or the Extended Maturity Date, as applicable.

 

26.           Purchase of Notes by the Company.  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary or Affiliate to, voluntarily purchase or acquire any portion of any Note, unless

 

  

29

  

concurrently with such action, the Company, such Subsidiary or Affiliate makes an offer to all Holders to acquire the same portion of their Notes on the same terms.  This Section 26 may not be amended except with the written consent of the holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the aggregate principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding.

 

27.           Other Payments to Holders of Notes.  The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise,
or grant any security, to any holder of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of Notes or any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or thereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then outstanding that consented to such waiver or amendment.

 

28.           Payment Set Aside.  To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Holder hereunder or the Holder enforces or exercises its rights hereunder, and such payment or payments or the
proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, by a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including any bankruptcy law, U.S. state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

29.           Interpretative Matters.  Unless the context otherwise requires, (a) all references to Sections, Schedules or Exhibits are to sections, schedules or exhibits contained in or attached to this Note,
(b) each accounting term not otherwise defined in this Note has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP as in effect from time to time (unless expressly provided otherwise), (c) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter and (d) the use of the word “including” in this Note shall be

EXHIBIT A

 

SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS

 

Section 1.01.  Subordination of Liabilities.  ___________________ (the “Obligor”), for itself, and its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of, interest on, and all other amounts owing in respect of,
[__________] (the “Subordinated Indebtedness”)  is hereby expressly subordinated to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the prior payment in full in cash, of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in Section 1.07 below).  These Subordination Provisions shall constitute a continuing offer to all persons who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to hold, Senior Indebtedness, and such provisions are made for the benefit of the holders of
Senior Indebtedness, and such holders are hereby made obligees hereunder the same as if their names were written herein as such, and they and/or each of them may proceed to enforce such provisions.

 

Section 1.02.  Obligor Not to Make Payments with Respect to Subordinated Indebtedness in Certain Circumstances.  (a)  Upon the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness (including interest thereon, premium, if any, or fees or any other amounts owing
in respect thereof), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, all Obligations (as defined in Section 1.07 below) owing in respect thereof shall first be paid in full in cash, before any payment (whether in cash, property, securities or otherwise) is made on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness.

 

(b)During any Blockage Period (as defined in Section 1.09 below), no holder of Subordinated Indebtedness shall assert or exercise any remedy in respect of any Subordinated Indebtedness or take or receive from or on behalf of the Obligor, directly or, indirectly, or by setoff or in any
other manner (whether pursuant to any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure proceeding or otherwise) any assets of the Obligor.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during any Blockage Period, unless and until the Senior Indebtedness (including interest thereon, premium, if any, or fees or any other amounts owing in respect thereof) shall have been paid in full in cash, no holder of Subordinated Indebtedness shall (i) take any action of any kind, exercise any rights
or initiate any proceeding of any kind (including any insolvency proceeding or Lien Enforcement Action, as defined in Section 1.09 below), whether privately or judicially, including any motion to lift an automatic stay or to obtain adequate protection, or any action to notify account debtors, seek a Lien (as defined in Section 1.09 below) upon any assets of the Obligor or commence, or join with any creditor other than holders of Senior Indebtedness in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution,
levy or foreclosure proceeding with respect to the Obligor, (ii) hinder, interfere with, object to or delay any holder of Senior Indebtedness in (A) enforcement of any of its Liens on any collateral, (B) liquidation or foreclosure thereof or (C) the manner in which a holder of Senior Indebtedness chooses to effectuate such enforcement, liquidation or foreclosure, (iii) demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or otherwise claim the benefit of, any marshalling, appraisement, valuation
or other similar right that may otherwise be available under applicable law or any other similar rights a junior creditor may have under applicable law, or (iv) bring any action to contest the validity, legality, enforceability, perfection, priority or avoidability of any of the Senior Indebtedness or any of the Liens of holders of Senior Indebtedness in or on any  collateral.

 

(c)During any Blockage Period, (i) no holder of Subordinated Indebtedness shall exercise any right of setoff or counterclaim with respect to any collateral or with respect to any proceeds thereof and all proceeds of collateral shall be paid to the Collateral Agent (as defined in Section 1.09
below) for application to the Senior Indebtedness and (ii) until the Senior Indebtedness (including interest thereon, premium, if any, or fees or any other amounts owing in respect thereof) shall have been paid in full in cash, any proceeds of collateral received by any holder of Subordinated Indebtedness and any other cash or other property on account of the interest of such holder of Subordinated Indebtedness in any 

 

  

  

  

collateral received by such holder of Subordinated Indebtedness in contravention of these Subordination Provisions shall be held for the benefit of and paid over to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction
may otherwise direct.  In connection with the foregoing, each holder of Subordinated Indebtedness hereby:  (i) authorizes the Collateral Agent to make any such endorsements as the agent and attorney-in fact for such holder of Subordinated Indebtedness; and (ii) acknowledges and agrees that its foregoing authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable.

 

(d)           In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 1.02, the Obligor shall make any payment on account of
(or the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness receives any payment on account of) the Subordinated Indebtedness at a time when payment is not permitted by said subsection (a), (b) or (c), such payment shall be held by the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representative or the trustee under the indenture or other agreement pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application pro rata to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness (after giving effect to the relative priorities of such Senior Indebtedness) remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash in accordance with the terms of such Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness.  Without in any way modifying
these Subordination Provisions or affecting the subordination effected hereby if the hereafter referenced notice is not given, the Obligor shall give the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness written notice of any event which would prevent payments under Section 1.02(a), (b) or (c) hereafter.

 

Section 1.03.  Subordination to Prior Payment of All Senior Indebtedness, Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization of Obligor.  Upon any distribution of assets of the Obligor upon dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Obligor
(whether in bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or otherwise):

 

(a)           the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, post petition interest at the rate provided in the documentation with respect to the Senior Indebtedness whether
