	Rates. The interest rate on LIBOR Loans and Base Rate Loans (when determined by reference to clause (b) of the definition of Base Rate) may be determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate.  The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market.  On March 5, 2021, ICE Benchmark Administration ("IBA"), the administrator of the London interbank offered rate, and the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), the regulatory supervisor of IBA, announced in public statements (the "Announcements") that the final publication or representativeness date for the London interbank offered rate for Dollars for: (a) 1-week and 2-month tenor settings will be December 31, 2021 and (b) overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month tenor settings will be June 30, 2023. No successor administrator for IBA was identified in such Announcements.  As a result, it is possible that immediately after such dates, the London interbank offered rate for such tenors may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed a representative reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans (when determined by reference to clause (b) of the definition of Base Rate). There is no assurance that the dates set forth in the Announcements will not change or that IBA or the FCA will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of any London interbank offered rate. Public and private sector industry initiatives have been and continue, as of the date hereof, to be underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate.  In the event that the London interbank offered rate or any other then-current Benchmark is no longer available or in certain other circumstances set forth in Section 3.6, such Section 3.6 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. Agent will notify Borrower Representative, pursuant to Section 3.6, of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans and Base Rate Loans (when determined by reference to clause (b) of the definition of Base Rate) is based.  However, Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (i) the administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of "LIBOR Rate" or with respect to any alternative, successor, or replacement rate thereto (including any then-current Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.6, will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBOR Rate or any other Benchmark, or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  Agent and its Affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of a Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto and such transactions may be adverse to Borrowers and Loan Parties.  Agent may select information sources or services in its discretion to ascertain any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability

1.4.Rates.The interest rate on LIBOR Loans and Base Rate Loans (when determined by reference to clause (b) of the definition of Base Rate) may be determined by reference to the LIBOR Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate.  The London interbank offered rate is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market.  On March 5, 2021, ICE Benchmark Administration ("IBA"), the administrator of the London interbank offered rate, and the Financial Conduct Authority (the "FCA"), the regulatory supervisor of IBA, announced in public statements (the "Announcements") that the final publication or representativeness date for the London interbank offered rate for Dollars for: (a) 1-week and 2-month tenor settings will be December 31, 2021 and (b) overnight, 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month tenor settings will be June 30, 2023. No successor administrator for IBA was identified in such Announcements.  As a result, it is possible that immediately after such dates, the London interbank offered rate for such tenors may no longer be available or may no longer be deemed a representative reference rate upon which to determine the interest rate on LIBOR Loans or Base Rate Loans (when determined by reference to clause (b) of the definition of Base Rate). There is no assurance that the dates set forth in the Announcements will not change or that IBA or the FCA will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition or characteristics of any London interbank offered rate. Public and private sector industry initiatives have been and continue, as of the date hereof, to be underway to implement new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of the London interbank offered rate.  In the event that the London interbank offered rate or any other then-current Benchmark is no longer available or in certain other circumstances set forth in Section 3.6, such Section 3.6 provides a mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. Agent will notify Borrower Representative, pursuant to Section 3.6, of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans and Base Rate Loans (when determined by
​

-30-

​

reference to clause (b) of the definition of Base Rate) is based.  However, Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, (i) the administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the London interbank offered rate or other rates in the definition of "LIBOR Rate" or with respect to any alternative, successor, or replacement rate thereto (including any then-current Benchmark or any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement), as it may or may not be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.6, will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBOR Rate or any other Benchmark, or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (ii) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  Agent and its Affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of a Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto and such transactions may be adverse to Borrowers and Loan Parties.  Agent may select information sources or services in its discretion to ascertain any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to any Borrower, Loan Party, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
2.LOANS.
		2.1.
	Amount of Loans .

(a)Revolving Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment will severally (and not jointly), from time to time prior to the Maturity Date, at Borrower Representative's request, make revolving loans to Borrowers ("Revolving Loans"); provided, that after giving effect to each such Revolving Loan, (A)  the outstanding balance of all Revolving Loans will not exceed the lesser of (x) the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount, minus the amount of Reserves established against the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount in accordance with Section 2.1(b), minus the Availability Block, and (y) the Borrowing Base minus the Availability Block, and (B) the sum of each Lender's outstanding balance of Revolving Loans will not exceed such Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment.  All Revolving Loans shall be made in and repayable in Dollars.
(b)Reserves.  Agent may, with notice to Borrower Representative, from time to time establish and revise reserves against the Borrowing Base and the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount in such amounts and of such types as Agent deems appropriate in its Permitted Discretion ("Reserves") to reflect (i) events, conditions, contingencies or risks which affect or could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect (A) the Collateral or its value, or the enforceability, perfection or priority of the security interests and other rights of Agent in the Collateral or (B) the assets and business of any Borrower or any Loan Party Obligor (including the Dilution Reserve), (ii) Agent's good faith belief that any Collateral report or financial information furnished by or on behalf of any Borrower or any Loan Party Obligor to Agent is or may have been incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect, (iii) any fact or circumstance which Agent determines in good faith constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to constitute, a Default or Event of Default, or (iv) past due Taxes, or (v) any other similar events or circumstances which Agent determines in good faith make the establishment or revision of a Reserve prudent.  In no event shall the establishment of a Reserve in respect of a particular actual or contingent liability obligate Agent to make advances to pay such liability or otherwise obligate Agent with respect thereto.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed and understood that Agent shall establish a Reserve in an amount equal to two (2) months of servicing fees payable to SPS (or any similar third party logistics provider utilized by the Loan Parties).

	Protective Advances; Overadvances.

(a)Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, at any time (i) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default or (ii) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 or otherwise are not satisfied, Agent is authorized by each Borrower and each Lender, from time to time, in Agent's sole discretion, to make such Revolving Loans to, or for the benefit of, any Borrower, as Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (the Revolving Loans described in this Section 2.2 shall be referred to as "Protective Advances").  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent may disburse the proceeds of any Protective Advance to any Borrower or to such other Person(s) as Agent determines in its sole discretion.  All Protective Advances shall be payable immediately upon demand.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the aggregate amount of all Protective Advances outstanding at any time shall not exceed an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount and (ii) after giving effect to any such Protective Advances, the outstanding balance of all Revolving Loans will not exceed the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount.
(b)Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this this Agreement, at the request of Borrower Representative, Agent may in its sole discretion (but with absolutely no obligation), make Revolving Loans to any Borrower, on behalf of the Lenders with a Revolving Loan Commitment, in amounts that exceed Excess Availability (any such excess Revolving Loans are herein referred to herein, collectively, as "Overadvances"); provided, that, no Overadvance shall result in a Default due to any Borrower's failure to comply with Section 2.1(a) for so long as such Overadvance remains outstanding in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, but solely with respect to the amount of such Overadvance.  Overadvances may be made even if the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.2 have not been satisfied.  The authority of Agent to make Overadvances is limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount at any time.  No Overadvance may remain outstanding for more than thirty (30) days and no Overadvance shall cause any Lender's outstanding balance of Revolving Loans to exceed its Revolving Commitment.  Required Lenders may, at any time, revoke Agent's authorization to make Overadvances, provided that any such revocation must be in writing and shall become effective prospectively upon Agent's receipt thereof.
(c)Upon the making of any Protective Advance or Overadvance (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default), each Lender with a Revolving Loan Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Protective Advance or Overadvance, as applicable, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan Commitment.  Agent may, at any time, require the applicable Lenders to fund their participations.  From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Protective Advance or Overadvance, as applicable, purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by such Agent in respect of such Loan.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that (i) Agent may elect to fund a Protective Advance or Overadvance through one or more of its Affiliates (including, without limitation, Eclipse Business Capital SPV, LLC) on behalf of Agent for administrative convenience and (ii) any such funding shall constitute a Protective Advance or Overadvance, as applicable, as if made by Agent subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
		2.3.
	Notice of Borrowing; Manner of Revolving Loan Borrowing.

(a)Borrower Representative shall request each Revolving Loan by submitting such request by ABLSoft (or, if requested by Agent, by delivering, in writing or by an Approved Electronic Communication, a Notice of Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto) (each such request a "Notice of Borrowing").  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Agent shall, except as
​

-32-

​

provided in Section 2.2, deliver the amount of the Revolving Loan requested in the Notice of Borrowing for credit to the Revolving Loan Funding Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds (i) on the same day if the Notice of Borrowing is received by Agent on or before 10:00 a.m. Central Time on a Business Day or (ii) on the immediately following Business Day if the Notice of Borrowing is received by Agent after 10:00 a.m. Central Time on a Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day.  Agent shall charge to the Revolving Loan Agent's usual and customary fees for the wire transfer of each Loan.
(b)Promptly following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing in accordance with this Section, Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender's Revolving Loan to be made as part of the requested borrowing.  Each Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 12:00 p.m., Central Time, to the account of Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share.  Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any borrowing that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender's share of such borrowing, Agent may assume that such Lender has made (or will make) such share available on such date in accordance with this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable borrowing available to Agent, then the applicable Lender and Borrowers severally agree to pay to Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to Agent, at the interest rate applicable to such Revolving Loans.  If such Lender pays such amount to Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender's Revolving Loan included in such borrowing.
		2.4.
	Swingline Loans.

(a)Agent, Swingline Lender and the Lenders agree that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, promptly after Borrower Representative requests a Revolving Loan, the Swingline Lender may elect to have the terms of this Section 2.4 apply to such borrowing request by advancing, on behalf of the Lenders with a Revolving Loan Commitment and in the amount requested, same day funds to Borrowers (each such Loan made solely by the Swingline Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4 is referred to in this Agreement as a "Swingline Loan"), with settlement among them as to the Swingline Loans to take place on a periodic basis as set forth in Section 2.4(c).  Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Swingline Lender to, and Swingline Lender shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (but without any further written notice required), deliver the amount of the Swingline Loan requested to the applicable Funding Account (i) on the same day if the Notice of Borrowing is received by Agent on or before 10:00 a.m. Central Time on a Business Day or (ii) on the immediately following Business Day if the Notice of Borrowing is received by Agent after 10:00 a.m. Central Time on a Business Day or on a day that is not a Business Day.  The aggregate amount of Swingline Loans outstanding at any time shall not exceed an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount.  Swingline Lender shall not make any Swingline Loan if the requested Swingline Loan exceeds Excess Availability (before giving effect to such Swingline Loan).
(b)Upon the making of a Swingline Loan (whether before or after the occurrence of a Default and regardless of whether a Settlement has been requested with respect to such Swingline Loan), each Lender with a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed, without further action by any party hereto, to have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Swingline Loan in proportion to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitment.  The Swingline Lender may, at any time, require the applicable Lenders to fund their participations.  From and after the date, if any, on which any Lender is required to fund its participation in any Swingline Loan purchased hereunder, Agent shall promptly distribute to such Lender, such Lender's Pro Rata Share of all payments of principal and interest and all proceeds of Collateral received by such Agent in respect of such Loan.
​

-33-

​

(c)Agent, on behalf of Swingline Lender, shall request settlement (a "Settlement") with respect to Swingline Loans with the Lenders holding a Revolving Commitment on at least a weekly basis or on any date that Agent elects, by notifying the applicable Lenders of such requested Settlement by facsimile, telephone, or e-mail no later than 12:00 p.m. Central Time on the date of such requested Settlement (the "Settlement Date").  Each applicable Lender (other than the Swingline Lender) shall transfer the amount of such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Swingline Loan with respect to which Settlement is requested to Agent, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate, not later than 2:00 p.m., Central Time, on such Settlement Date.  Settlements may occur during the existence of an event of Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.2 have then been satisfied.  Such amounts transferred to Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender's Swingline Loans and, together with such Swingline Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Swingline Loan, shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders, respectively.  If any such amount is not transferred to Agent by any applicable Lender on such Settlement Date, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon.
		2.5.
	Repayments.

(a)Revolving Loans.  If at any time for any reason whatsoever (including as a result of currency fluctuations) the outstanding balance of all Revolving Loans exceeds the lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount, minus the amount of Reserves established against the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount in accordance with Section 2.1(b), minus the Availability Block, and (ii) the Borrowing Base minus the Availability Block, then, Borrowers will immediately pay to Agent such amounts as shall cause Borrowers to eliminate such excess.
(b)Maturity Date Payments.  All remaining outstanding monetary Obligations (including, all accrued and unpaid fees described in Section 3.2) shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date.
		2.6.
	Voluntary Termination of Loan Facilities.

Borrower Representative may, on at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice received by Agent, permanently terminate the Loan facilities by repaying all of the outstanding Obligations, including all principal, interest and fees with respect to the Revolving Loans, and an Early Payment/Termination Premium in the amount specified in Section 3.2(b).  From and after such date of termination, Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to extend any additional Loans, and all of its lending commitments hereunder shall be terminated.
		2.7.
	Obligations Unconditional.

(a)The payment and performance of all Obligations shall constitute the absolute and unconditional obligations of each Loan Party Obligor, and shall be independent of any defense or right of set-off, recoupment or counterclaim that any Loan Party Obligor or any other Person might otherwise have against Agent, any Lender or any other Person.  All payments required by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars (unless payment in a different currency is expressly provided otherwise in the applicable Loan Document) and paid free of any deductions or withholdings for any taxes or other amounts and without abatement, diminution or set-off.  If any Loan Party Obligor is required by applicable law to make such a deduction or withholding from a payment under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, such Loan Party Obligor shall pay to Agent such additional amount as shall be necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, Agent receives (free from any liability in respect of any such deduction or withholding) a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received and so retained had no such deduction or withholding been made or required to be made.  Each Loan Party Obligor shall (a) pay the full amount of any deduction or withholding that it is required to make by law, to the relevant authority within the payment period set by applicable law and (b) promptly after any such
​

-34-

​

payment, deliver to Agent an original (or certified copy) official receipt issued by the relevant authority in respect of the amount withheld or deducted or, if the relevant authority does not issue such official receipts, such other evidence of payment of the amount withheld or deducted as is reasonably acceptable to Agent.
(b)If, at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date (or at any time before or after the Closing Date with respect to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith), (a) any change in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, (b) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive enacted or application thereof or (c) compliance by Agent with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency (i) subjects Agent or any Lender to any tax, levy, impost, deduction, assessment, charge or withholding of any kind whatsoever with respect to any Loan Document, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to Agent or any Lender of any amount payable thereunder (except for net income taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, imposed generally by federal, state, local or other taxing authorities with respect to interest or fees payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document or changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of Agent, any Lender or their respective members) or (ii) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB, but excluding any reserve included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by Agent or any Lender or imposes on Agent or any Lender any other condition affecting its LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Loans, the result of which is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) Agent or any Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Loan or (iii) imposes on Agent or any Lender any other condition or increased cost in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or participations therein, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent or any Lender of making or continuing any Loan or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder or under any other Loan Documents, then, in each such case, Borrowers shall promptly pay to Agent or such Lender, when notified to do so by Agent or such Lender, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Agent or such Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount as determined by Agent or such Lender.  Each such notice of additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) submitted by Agent or any Lender, as applicable, to Borrower Representative shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.
(c)This Section 2.7 shall remain operative even after the Termination Date and shall survive the payment in full of all of the Loans.
2.8.Reversal of Payments.  To the extent that any payment or payments made to or received by Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to any trustee, receiver or other Person under any state, federal or other bankruptcy or other such applicable law, then, to the extent thereof, such amounts (and all Liens, rights and remedies relating thereto) shall be revived as Obligations (secured by all such Liens) and continue in full force and effect under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents as if such payment or payments had not been received by Agent or such Lender.  This Section 2.8 shall remain operative even after the Termination Date and shall survive the payment in full of all of the Loans.
2.9.Notes.  The Loans and Commitments shall, at the request of any Lender, be evidenced by one or more promissory notes in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.  However, if such Loans are not so evidenced, such Loans may be evidenced solely by entries upon the books and records maintained by Agent.

(c)No Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, consent or any other action the Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take hereunder, provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each directly affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

(iv)the insolvency of any Loan Party or Other Obligor; or
(v)any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.
(c)Waivers by Borrowers.  To the extent permitted by applicable laws, each Borrower expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel Agent to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the Obligations against any other Loan Party or Other Obligor, any other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Obligations before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Borrower.  It is agreed among each Borrower, Agent and Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that, but for the provisions of this Section 2.12 and such waivers, Agent and Lenders would decline to enter into this Agreement.
(d)Benefit of Joint and Several Obligations.  Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Section 2.12 are for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and their successors, transferees, endorsees 
​

-37-

​

and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower, Agent and any Lender, the obligations of such other Borrower under the Loan Documents.
(e)Subordination of Subrogation, Etc.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, each Borrower hereby expressly and irrevocably subordinates to payment of the Obligations any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor with respect to any other Loan Party or any Other Obligor until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash.  Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit Agent and Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Borrower's liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Section 2.12, and that Agent and Lenders and their successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 2.12(d).
(f)Election of Remedies.  If Agent may, under applicable law, proceed to realize its benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving Agent a Lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by any Borrower or by any other Person, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, Agent may, at its sole option, determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Section 2.12.  If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Agent shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to "election of remedies" or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by Agent and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Agent shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that each Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Agent.
(g)Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations.
(i)To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Section 2.12 of all or any of the Obligations (other than Loans made to that Borrower for which it is primarily liable) (a "Guarantor Payment") that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Borrower's "Allocable Amount" (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Borrowers as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.
(ii)As of any date of determination, the "Allocable Amount" of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section 2.12 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.
(iii)This Section 2.12(f) is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrowers and nothing set forth in this Section 2.12(f) is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 2.12(a).  Nothing contained in this Section 2.12(f) shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the Loans made
​

-38-

​

directly or indirectly to that Borrower and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.
(iv)The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of each Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.
(v)The rights of the indemnifying Borrowers against other Loan Parties under this Section 2.12(f) shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.
(h)Liability Cumulative.  The liability of Borrowers under this Section 2.12 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Borrower to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Obligations or obligation of the other Borrower, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

	INTEREST AND FEES; LOAN ACCOUNT.

3.1.Interest.  All Loans and other monetary Obligations shall bear interest at the interest rate(s) set forth in Section 3 of Annex I, and accrued interest shall be payable (a) on the first day of each month in arrears, (b) upon a prepayment of Loan in accordance with Section 2.6, and (c) on the Maturity Date; provided, that after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all Loans and other monetary Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to two (2) percentage points (2.00%) in excess of the rate otherwise applicable thereto (the "Default Rate"), and all such interest shall be payable on demand.  Changes in the interest rate shall be effective as of the first day of each month based on  the LIBOR Rate or Base Rate, as applicable, in effect on such date.  Subject to Section 3.6 and so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all Loans shall constitute LIBOR Loans.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at the election of Agent or Required Lenders, all Loans shall constitute Base Rate Loans.  Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire Eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligations as to which interest accrues based on the Libor Rate.
3.2.Fees.  Borrowers shall pay Agent the following fees on the dates provided therefor, which fees are in addition to all fees and other sums payable by Borrowers or any other Person to Agent under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document and, in each case, are not refundable once paid:
(a)Unused Line Fee.  An unused line fee (the "Unused Line Fee"), for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, equal to one half of one percent (0.50%) per annum of the amount by which (i) the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount, calculated without giving effect to any Reserves applied to the Maximum Revolving Facility Amount, exceeds (ii) the average daily outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans during the immediately preceding month (or part thereof), which fee shall be deemed to be fully earned and payable, in arrears, on the first day of each month until the Termination Date.
(b)Early Payment/Termination Premium.  In the event that, for any reason (including as a result of any voluntary or mandatory prepayment of the Loans, any acceleration of the Loans resulting from an Event of Default, any foreclosure and sale of Collateral, or any sale of Collateral in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding), all or any portion of the Lenders' commitment to make Revolving Loans is terminated prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, in each case pursuant to Section 2.6, Section 11.2 or otherwise, then in each such case, in addition to the payment of the principal amount and all unpaid
​

-39-

​

accrued interest and other amounts due thereon, Borrowers immediately shall be required to pay to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a premium (each, an "Early Payment/Termination Premium") (as liquidated damages and compensation for the cost of the Lenders being prepared to make funds available under this Agreement with respect to such Loans during the scheduled term of this Agreement) in an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage (as defined below) of the amount of any such Revolving Loan commitment termination, as applicable.  In each such case, the "Applicable Percentage" shall be (A) two percent (2.0%), if such event occurs on or before the date that is twelve months following the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, (B) one percent (1.0%) if such event occurs after the date that is twelve months following the Closing Date, but on or before the date that is twenty-four months following the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, and (C) one-half of one percent (0.5%) if such event occurs after the date that is twenty four months following the Amendment No. 2 Effective Date, but on or before the Scheduled Maturity Date.  Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (x) the provisions of this paragraph shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any rescission by Agent of an acceleration with respect to all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to Section 11.2 or otherwise, (y) payment of any Early Payment/Termination Premium under this paragraph constitutes liquidated damages and not a penalty and (z) the actual amount of damages to Lenders or profits lost by Lenders as a result of such early payment or termination would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain, and the Early Payment/Termination Premium under this paragraph is provided by mutual agreement of Borrowers and Lenders as a reasonable estimation and calculation of such lost profits or damages of Borrowers and Lenders.
3.3.Computation of Interest and Fees.  All interest and fees shall be calculated daily on the outstanding monetary Obligations based on the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days.
3.4.Loan Account; Monthly Accountings.  Agent shall maintain a loan account for Borrowers reflecting all outstanding Loans, along with interest accrued thereon and such other items reflected therein (the "Loan Account"), and shall provide Borrower Representative with a monthly accounting reflecting the activity in the Loan Account, viewable by Borrowers on ABLSoft.  Each accounting shall be deemed correct, accurate and binding on Borrowers and an account stated (except for reverses and reapplications of payments made and corrections of errors discovered by Agent), unless Borrower Representative notifies Agent in writing to the contrary within ninety (90) days after such account is rendered, describing the nature of any alleged errors or omissions.  However, Agent's failure to maintain the Loan Account or to provide any such accounting shall not affect the legality or binding nature of any of the Obligations.  Interest, fees and other monetary Obligations due and owing under this Agreement may, in Agent's discretion, be charged to the Loan Account, and will thereafter be deemed to be Revolving Loans and will bear interest at the same rate as other Revolving Loans.
3.5.Further Obligations; Maximum Lawful Rate.  With respect to all monetary Obligations for which the interest rate is not otherwise specified herein (whether such Obligations arise hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or otherwise), such Obligations shall bear interest at the rate(s) in effect from time to time with respect to the Revolving Loans and shall be payable upon demand by Agent.  In no event shall the interest charged with respect to any Loan or any other Obligation exceed the maximum amount permitted under applicable law.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, if at any time the rate of interest payable or other amounts hereunder or under any other Loan Document (the "Stated Rate") would exceed the highest rate of interest or other amount permitted under any applicable law to be charged (the "Maximum Lawful Rate"), then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest and other amounts payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided, that if at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, Borrowers shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, continue to pay interest and such other amounts at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest and other such amounts received is equal to the total interest and other such amounts which would have been received had the Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest rate payable or such other amounts payable.  Thereafter, the interest rate and such other amounts payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this provision shall again apply.  In no event shall the 
​

-40-

​

total interest or other such amounts received by Agent exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received had the interest and other such amounts been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If, notwithstanding the prior sentence, Agent has received interest or other such amounts hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Loans or to other Obligations (other than interest) payable hereunder, and if no such principal or other Obligations are then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to Borrowers.  In computing interest payable with reference to the Maximum Lawful Rate applicable to any Lender, such interest shall be calculated at a daily rate equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate divided by the number of days in the year in which such calculation is made.
		3.6.
	Certain Provisions Regarding LIBOR Loans; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)Inadequate or Unfair Basis.  If Agent or any Lender reasonably determines (which determination shall be binding and conclusive on Borrowers) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable LIBOR Rate, then Agent or such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower Representative (and Agent, if applicable) thereof and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (i) Agent and/or such Lender shall be under no obligation to make any LIBOR Loans and (ii) on the last day of the current calendar month, each LIBOR Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.
(b)Change in Law.  If any change in, or the adoption of any new, law, treaty or regulation, or any change in the interpretation of any applicable law or regulation by any Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof, would make it (or in the good faith judgment of Agent or the applicable Lender cause a substantial question as to whether it is) unlawful for Agent or such Lender to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, then Agent or such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower Representative and, so long as such circumstances shall continue, (i) Agent or such Lender shall have no obligation to make any LIBOR Loan and (ii) on the last day of the current calendar month for each LIBOR Loan (or, in any event, on such earlier date as may be required by the relevant law, regulation or interpretation), such LIBOR Loan shall, unless then repaid in full, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loan.
(c)If any Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to Section 2.7(b), or any Lender gives notice of the occurrence of any circumstances described in Section 2.7(b), or if Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, Borrowers may designate another Person engaged in the making of commercial loans in the ordinary course of business which is acceptable to Agent in its sole discretion (such other Person being called a "Replacement Lender") to purchase the Loans and Commitments of such Lender and such Lender's rights hereunder, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Lender and any other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, and to assume all the obligations of such Lender hereunder, and, upon such purchase and assumption (pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption), such Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder (other than rights with respect to indemnities and similar rights applicable to such Lender prior to the date of such purchase and assumption) and shall be relieved from all obligations to Borrowers hereunder, and the Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder.
(d)Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(i)Benchmark Replacement.
(A)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the
​

-41-

​

 Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (a)(iii) of the definition of "Benchmark Replacement" for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
(B)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that this clause (B) shall not be effective unless Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice.  For the avoidance of doubt, Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may elect or not elect to do so in its sole discretion.
(ii)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(iii)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.   Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of (1) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (2) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (3) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, and (4) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.6, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.6.
(iv)Benchmark Unavailability Period.  Upon Borrower Representative’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Borrower Representative may revoke any request for a Borrowing based upon the LIBOR Rate or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, Borrower Representative will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period, the component of the Base Rate based upon the then-current Benchmark will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.

​

-45-

​

elect, including using descriptions such as "all personal property of debtor" or "all assets of debtor," or words of similar effect, in each case without such Loan Party Obligor's signature.  Each Loan Party Obligor also hereby ratifies its authorization for Agent to have filed, in any filing office, any Financing Statements filed prior to the date hereof.

Each Loan Party has all requisite power and authority to own and operate its properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, to enter into the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party Obligor of this Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party Obligor is a party have been duly and validly authorized, do not violate such Loan Party Obligor's Governing Documents or any law or any material agreement or instrument or any court order which is binding upon any Loan Party or its property, do not constitute grounds for acceleration of any Indebtedness

or obligation under any material agreement or instrument which is binding upon any Loan Party or its property, and do not require the consent of any Person. Each Loan Party Obligor shall reserve and maintain all of its leases, licenses, permits, franchises qualifications, and rights that are necessary and desirable in the Ordinary Course of Business. No Loan Party is required to obtain any government approval, consent, or authorization from, or to file any declaration or statement with, any Governmental Authority in connection with or as a condition to the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Loan Documents.  This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by, and are enforceable against, each of the Loan Party Obligors who have signed them, in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

With respect to any disposition as to which the Securities Act or analogous state securities laws is applicable, each Loan Party Obligor hereby waives any objection to sale in a compliant manner, and agrees that the Agent has no obligation to obtain the maximum possible price for the Collateral so long as the Agent proceeds in a commercially reasonable manner.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party Obligor agrees that in conducting a disposition of the Collateral as to which the Securities Act or analogous state securities laws applies, Agent may seek to sell the Collateral by private placement, and may restrict bidders and prospective purchasers to those who are willing to represent that they are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution and who otherwise satisfy qualifications designed to ensure compliance with the Securities Act and analogous state securities laws and those that may be established in the Issuer’s Governing Documents. Each Loan Party Obligor acknowledges that in order to protect Agent's interest, it may be necessary to sell the Collateral at a price less than the maximum price attainable if a sale were delayed or were made in another manner, including, without limitation, a public offering under the Securities Act. In order to address these potential compliance requirements, Agent may solicit offers to purchase the Collateral from a limited number of bidders reasonably believed by Agent to be institutional investors or accredited investors. If Agent solicits offers in a commercially reasonable manner, then acceptance by Agent of one or more of the offers shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposition of the Collateral and Agent will not be responsible or liable for selling all or any portion of the Collateral at a price that Agent deems in good faith to be reasonable.  Agent is under no obligation to delay a disposition of any portion of the Collateral that are securities under the Securities Act or applicable "Blue Sky" or other state securities law for the period of time necessary to permit any Loan Party Obligor or the Issuer to register the securities for public sale under the Securities Act or under applicable "Blue Sky" or other state securities laws, even if a Loan Party Obligor or the Issuer agrees to do so.  In addition, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, each Loan Party Obligor waives any right to prior notice (except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement) or judicial hearing in connection with the taking possession or the disposition of any of the Collateral, including any right which Loan Party Obligor otherwise would have.
(vii)To the extent permitted under applicable law, Agent is not required to conduct any foreclosure sale of the Investment Property or any portion thereof.

(viii)Agent, at its option, may obtain the appointment of a receiver to take possession of the Investment Property and, at the option of Agent, a receiver may be empowered (i) to collect, receive and enforce all distributions, (ii) to exercise the rights of Agent as provided in this Agreement, (iii) to collect all other amounts owed to any Loan Party Obligor in respect of the Investment Property as and when due to any Loan Party Obligor, (iv) to otherwise collect, sell or dispose of the Investment Property, (v) to exercise all rights in and under the Investment Property; and (vi) to turn over all net proceeds to Agent.  Each Loan Party Obligor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that a receiver may be appointed by a court to take the actions listed above without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations, and the actions of the receiver may be taken in the name of the receiver, any Loan Party Obligor or Agent.
(ix)Agent may elect to conduct a sale of an economic interest in any Investment Property constituting limited liability company interests that does not result in the purchaser being admitted as a substitute limited liability company member in the Issuer, and that any sale or dispositions made in good faith will be considered commercially reasonable, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized if the purchaser were able to be admitted as a substitute limited liability company member rather than the holder of only an economic interest in the Issuer.
(x)Agent may disclose to prospective purchasers all of the information relating to the Investment Property (and the applicable Issuer) that is in the Agent's possession or otherwise available to the Agent.
(xi)Each Loan Party Obligor hereby authorizes and instructs their respective Issuer to comply with any instruction received by it from Agent in writing that (i) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of the provisions of this Agreement as to Investment Property, without any other or further instructions from the respective Loan Party Obligor, and such Loan Party Obligor agrees that Issuer be fully protected in so complying.
(h)Election of Remedies.  Agent shall have the right in Agent's sole discretion to determine which rights, security, Liens or remedies Agent may at any time pursue, foreclose upon, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect to, without in any way impairing, modifying or affecting any of Agent's other rights, security, Liens or remedies with respect to any Collateral or any of Agent's rights or remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(i)Agent's Obligations.  Each Loan Party Obligor agrees that Agent shall not have any obligation to preserve rights to any Collateral against prior parties or to marshal any Collateral of any kind for the benefit of any other creditor of any Loan Party Obligor or any other Person.  Agent shall not be responsible to any Loan Party Obligor or any other Person for loss or damage resulting from Agent's failure to enforce its Liens or collect any Collateral or Proceeds or any monies due or to become due under the Obligations or any other liability or obligation of any Loan Party Obligor to Agent.
(j)Waiver of Rights by Loan Party Obligors.  Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement or by non-waivable applicable law, each Loan Party waives  (i) presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment, dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Agent on which any Loan Party Obligor may in any way be liable, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Agent may do in this regard, (ii) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Agent's taking possession or control of, or to Agent's replevy, attachment or levy upon, the Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Agent to exercise any of its remedies and (iii) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal, marshaling and exemption laws.  If any 
​

-73-

​

notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral is required under applicable law, each Loan Party Obligor agrees that ten (10) calendar days prior notice of the time and place of any public sale and of the time after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made is commercially reasonable.
12.LOAN GUARANTY.
12.1.Guaranty.  Each Loan Party Obligor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guaranties to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, all of the Obligations and all costs and expenses, including all court costs and attorneys' and paralegals' fees (including internal and external counsel and paralegals) and expenses of Agent or any Lender in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Borrower, any Loan Party Obligor or any Other Obligor of all or any part of the Obligations (and such costs and expenses paid or incurred shall be deemed to be included in the Obligations).  Each Loan Party Obligor further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guaranty notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any branch or Affiliate of Agent that extended any portion of the Obligations.
12.2.Guaranty of Payment.  This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Party Obligor waives any right to require Agent to sue or otherwise take action against any Borrower, any other Loan Party Obligor, any Other Obligor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Obligations, or otherwise to enforce its payment against any Collateral securing all or any part of the Obligations.
		12.3.
	No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty.

(a)Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Party Obligor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations), including:  (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any Obligor; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Borrower or any Obligor or their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Borrower or any Obligor; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Party Obligor may have at any time against any Borrower, any Obligor, Agent, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.
(b)The obligations of each Loan Party Obligor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Borrower or any Obligor of the Obligations or any part thereof.
(c)Further, the obligations of any Loan Party Obligor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of Agent to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for all or any part of the Obligations or all or any part of any obligations of any Obligor; (iv) any action or failure to act by Agent with respect to any Collateral; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any

-74-

​

 extent vary the risk of such Loan Party Obligor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party Obligor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations).
12.4.Defenses Waived.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party Obligor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Loan Party Obligor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Loan Party Obligor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party Obligor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Borrower, any Obligor, or any other Person.  Each Loan Party Obligor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder.  Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any Collateral, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Borrower or any Obligor or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Borrower or any Obligor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party Obligor under this Loan Guaranty except to the extent the Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Party Obligor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Party Obligor against any Borrower or any Obligor or any security.
12.5.Rights of Subrogation.  No Loan Party Obligor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Borrower or any Obligor, or any Collateral, until the Termination Date.
12.6.Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration.  If at any time any payment of any portion of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Person, or otherwise, each Loan Party Obligor's obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not Agent is in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Party Obligors forthwith on demand by Agent.  This Section 12.6 shall remain operative even after the Termination Date and shall survive the payment in full of all of the Loans.
12.7.Information.  Each Loan Party Obligor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Borrower's financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Party Obligor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that Agent shall not have any duty to advise any Loan Party Obligor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.
12.8.Termination.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Loan Party Obligor hereby waives any right to revoke this Loan Guaranty as to future Obligations.  If such a revocation is effective notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, each Loan Party Obligor acknowledges and agrees that (a) no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has been received by Agent, (b) no such revocation shall apply to any Obligations in existence on the date of receipt by Agent of such written notice (including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest rate, payment terms or other terms and conditions thereof), (c) no such revocation shall apply to any Obligations made or created 
​

-75-

​

after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of Agent, (d) no payment by any Borrower, any other Loan Party Obligor, or from any other source, prior to the date of Agent's receipt of written notice of such revocation shall reduce the maximum obligation of any Loan Party Obligor hereunder and (e) any payment, by any Borrower or from any source other than a Loan Party Obligor which has made such a revocation, made subsequent to the date of such revocation, shall first be applied to that portion of the Obligations as to which the revocation is effective and which are not, therefore, guarantied hereunder, and to the extent so applied shall not reduce the maximum obligation of any Loan Party Obligor hereunder.
12.9.Maximum Liability.  The provisions of this Loan Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Party Obligor under this Loan Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Party Obligor's liability under this Loan Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Party Obligors, Agent or any Lender, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Party Obligor's "Maximum Liability").  This Section 12.09 with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Party Obligor is intended solely to preserve the rights of Agent and the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Party Obligor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Party Obligor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Party Obligor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Party Obligor without impairing this Loan Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of Agent hereunder; provided, that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Party Obligor's obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.
12.10.Contribution.  In the event any Loan Party Obligor shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guaranty or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guaranty (such Loan Party Obligor a "Paying Guarantor"), each other Loan Party Obligor (each a "Non-Paying Guarantor") shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor's "Applicable Percentage" of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor.  For purposes of this Section 12.10, each Non-Paying Guarantor's "Applicable Percentage" with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (x) such Non-Paying Guarantor's Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor's Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from any Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (y) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Party Obligors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Party Obligor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Party Obligors from any Borrower after the date hereof (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means).  Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Party Obligor's several liability for the entire amount of the Obligations (up to such Loan Party Obligor's Maximum Liability).  Each of the Loan Party Obligors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guaranty from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations.  This provision is for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders and the Loan Party Obligors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them, in accordance with the terms hereof.
​

​

12.11.Liability Cumulative.  The liability of each Loan Party Obligor under this Section 12 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party Obligor to Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party Obligor is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.
13.PAYMENTS FREE OF TAXES; OBLIGATION TO WITHHOLD; PAYMENTS ON ACCOUNT OF TAXES.
(a)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Party Obligors hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes.  If, however, applicable laws require the Loan Party Obligors to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such laws as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.
(b)If any Loan Party Obligor shall be required by applicable law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from any payment, then (i) such Loan Party Obligor shall withhold or make such deductions as are required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (ii) such Loan Party Obligor shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the applicable law and (iii) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Loan Party Obligors shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.  Upon request by Agent or other Recipient, Borrower Representative shall deliver to Agent or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment of Indemnified Taxes, a copy of any return required by applicable law to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent or such other Recipient, as the case may be.
(c)Without limiting the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) above, the Loan Party Obligors shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(d)Without limiting the provisions of subsections (a) through (c) above, each Loan Party Obligor shall, and does hereby, on a joint and several basis, indemnify Agent, each Lender and each other Recipient (and their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents) and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid or incurred by Agent, any Lender or any other Recipient on account of, or in connection with any Loan Document or a breach by a Loan Party Obligor thereof, and any penalties, interest and related expenses and losses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any internal or external counsel or other tax advisor for Agent, any Lender or any other Recipient (or their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates, and agents)), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to Borrower Representative shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 13 shall remain operative even after the Termination Date and shall survive the payment in full of all of the Loans.
​

​

(e)Each Lender shall deliver to Borrower Representative and each Lender and each Participant shall deliver to Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable laws, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit Borrower Representative or Agent, as the case may be, to determine (x) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (y) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction and (z) such Lender's or Participant's entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Recipient by the Loan Party Obligors pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Recipient's status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction; provided, that each Recipient shall only be required to deliver such documentation as it may legally provide.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Borrower is resident for tax purposes in the United States:
(i)each Lender (or Participant) that is a "United States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Borrower Representative and Agent (or any Lender granting a participation as applicable) an executed original of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Agent (or Lender granting a participation) as will enable Borrower Representative or Agent (or Lender granting a participation) as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender (or Participant) is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements under the Code;
(ii)each Lender (or Participant) that is not a "United States person" within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a "Non-U.S. Recipient") shall deliver to Borrower Representative and Agent (or any Lender granting a participation in case the Non-U.S. Recipient is a Participant) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Person becomes a party to this Agreement or a Participant (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower Representative or Agent but only if such Non-U.S. Recipient is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable: (A) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party; (B) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI; (C) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation; (D) each Non-U.S. Recipient claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, shall provide (x) a certificate to the effect that such Non-U.S. Recipient is not (1) a "bank" within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a "10 percent shareholder" of Borrowers within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (3) a "controlled foreign corporation" described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of  Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN; and/or (E) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law (including FATCA) as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower Representative or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.  Each Non-U.S. Recipient shall promptly notify Borrower Representative and Agent (or any Lender granting a participation if the Non-U.S. Recipient is a Participant) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.
		14.
	AGENT

14.1.Appointment.  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its agent and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf, including execution of the other Loan Documents, and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive authority to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for Lenders

 with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Loan Documents; (b) execute and deliver as Agent, each Loan Document, including the Replacement Term Loan Intercreditor Agreement and any other intercreditor or subordination agreement, and accept delivery of each Loan Document; (c) make Loans, for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) act as collateral agent for Lenders for purposes of perfecting and administering Liens under the Loan Documents, and for all other purposes stated therein and execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents; (e) manage, supervise or otherwise deal with Collateral; (f) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute payments and proceeds of the Collateral as provided in the Loan Documents, (g) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents, (h) take any Enforcement Action or otherwise exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or under any Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise, including the determination of eligibility of Accounts and Inventory, the necessity and amount of Reserves and all other determinations and decisions relating to ordinary course administration of the credit facilities contemplated hereunder; and (i) incur and pay such expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents, whether or not  any Loan Party is obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and the Loan Parties shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" as used herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any similar term) with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
14.2.Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as Agent hereunder, if it is a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and such Person and its Affili­ates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof as if it were not Agent hereunder without notice to or consent of the other Lenders.
14.3.Duties and Obligations.  Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a)  Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders, and, (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.  Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to Agent by a Borrower or a Lender, and Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent.  Agent shall be under no obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the 
​

-79-

​

observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of any Loan Party.
14.4.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 believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person.  Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  Agent may consult with and employ Agent Professionals, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in any action taken in good faith reliance upon, any advice given by an Agent Professional (who may be counsel for any Borrower), independent accountants and other experts 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 or experts.  Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.
14.5.Actions through Sub-Agents.  Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Agent.  Agent may also perform its duties through employees and other Agent-Related Persons.  Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent, employee or Agent Professional that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Affiliates and other related parties.  The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the related parties of Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.
14.6.Resignation.  Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this paragraph, Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and Borrower Representative.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower Representative, to appoint a successor.  If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by its successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor, unless otherwise agreed by Borrower Representative and such successor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event no successor Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrower Representative, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (a) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Agent under any Loan Document for the benefit of the Lenders, the retiring Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Lenders and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this paragraph (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Agent shall have no duly or obligation to take any further action under any Loan Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (b) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring

Agent, provided that (i) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Agent for the account of any Person other than Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (ii) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to Agent shall also directly be given or made to each Lender.  Following the effectiveness of the Agent's resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective related parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (a) above.
		14.7.
	Non-Reliance.

(a)Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender.  Each Lender further acknowledges the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and not investments in a business enterprise or securities.  Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person, any arranger of this credit facility or any amendment thereto or any other Lender and based on such due diligence,  documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder.  Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person, any arranger of this credit facility or any amendment thereto or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning any Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder , and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a Lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.  Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. Each Lender acknowledges that Agent does not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing to provide such Lender with any credit or other information with respect to any Borrower, its Affiliates or any of their respective business, legal, financial or other affairs, and irrespective of whether such information came into Agent's or its Affiliates’ or representatives’ possession before or after the date on which such Lender became a party to this Agreement.
(b)Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) it has requested a copy of each appraisal, audit or field examination report prepared by or on behalf of Agent; (ii)  Agent (A) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any such report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to any such report and (B) shall not be liable for any information contained in any such report; (iii) such reports are not comprehensive 
​

-81-

​

audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties' books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties' personnel and that Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement such reports; (iv) it will keep all such reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share any such report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (v) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, (A) it will hold Agent and any such other Person preparing any such report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any such report in connection with any extension of credit that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to any Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender's participation in, or the indemnifying Lender's purchase of, a Loan or Loans; and (B) it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and any such other Person preparing any such report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorneys' fees of both internal and external counsel) of Agent or any such other Person as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any such report through the indemnifying Lender.
		14.8.
	Not Partners or Co-Venturers; Agent as Representative of the Secured Parties.

(a)The Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in the case of Agent) authorized to act for, any other Lender.  Agent shall have the exclusive right on behalf of the Lenders to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on any Loan after the date such principal or interest has become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(b)In its capacity, Agent is a "representative" of the Lenders within the meaning of the term "secured party" as defined in the UCC.  Each Lender authorizes Agent to enter into each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to take all action contemplated by such documents.  Each Lender agrees that no Lender (other than Agent) shall have the right individually to seek to realize upon the security granted by any Loan Document, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised solely by Agent for the benefit of the Lenders upon the terms of the Loan Documents.  In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Obligations, Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Lenders any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of Agent on behalf of the Lenders.
(c)Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the UCC can be perfected by possession or control.  Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.  Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders  (i) to verify or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by any Borrower or its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, (ii) to verify or assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (iii) to verify or assure that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof, (iv) to impose, maintain, increase, reduce, implement or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or to determine whether the amount of any reserve is appropriate or not, or (v) to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein,

​

14.9. Credit Bidding.  The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to Credit Bid and purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (and the Loan Parties shall approve Agent as a qualified bidder and such Credit Bid as qualified bid) at any sale thereof conducted by Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, under any provisions of the UCC, as part of any sale or investor solicitation process conducted by any Loan Party, any interim receiver, receiver, receiver and manager, administrative receiver, trustee, agent or other Person pursuant or under any insolvency laws; provided, however, that (i) the Required Lenders may not direct Agent in any manner that does not treat each of the Lenders equally, without preference or discrimination, in respect of consideration received as a result of the Credit Bid, (ii) the acquisition documents shall be commercially reasonable and contain customary protections for minority holders such as among other things, anti-dilution and tag-along rights, (iii) the exchanged debt or equity securities must be freely transferable, without restriction (subject to applicable securities laws) and (iv) reasonable efforts shall be made to structure the acquisition in a manner that causes the governance documents pertaining thereto to not impose any obligations or liabilities upon the Lenders individually (such as indemnification obligations).  Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by any entities used to consummate such Credit Bid or purchase and in connection therewith Agent may reduce the Obligations owed to the Lenders (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) based upon the value of such non-cash consideration.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term "Credit Bid" shall mean, an offer submitted by Agent (on behalf of the Lender group), based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to acquire the property of any Loan Party or any portion thereof in exchange for and in full and final satisfaction of all or a portion (as determined by Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) of the claims and Obligations under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.
14.10.Certain Collateral Matters.  The Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, (a) to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Loans and all other obligations of Borrowers hereunder; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder (including the release of any guarantor); or (iii) subject to Section 15.5 if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders; or (ii) to subordinate its interest in any Collateral to any holder of a Lien on such Collateral which is permitted by clause (a) of the definition of Permitted Liens (it being understood that Agent may conclusively rely on a certificate from Borrower Representative in determining whether the Indebtedness secured by any such Lien is permitted hereunder).  Upon request by Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent's authority to release, or subordinate its interest in, particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 14.10.  Agent may, and at the direction of Required Lenders shall, give blockage notices in connection with any subordinated debt and each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to give such notices.  Each Lender further agrees that it will not act unilaterally to deliver such notices.
14.11.Restriction on Actions by Lenders.  Each Lender agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent, and shall, upon the written request of Agent (to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so), set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to a Loan Party or any deposit accounts of any Loan Party now or hereafter maintained with such Lender.  Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken, any action, including the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to foreclose any loan or otherwise enforce any security interest in any of the Collateral or to enforce all or any part of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  All Enforcement Actions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any third party with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral may only be taken by Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders or as otherwise permitted in this Agreement) or by its agents at the direction of Agent.
​

​

14.12.Expenses.  Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from payments or proceeds of the Collateral received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders.  In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by a Loan Party, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to Agent such Lender’s ratable share thereof.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including Agent Professional fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent.
14.13.Notice of Default or Event of Default.  Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a "notice of default." Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Event of Default.  Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with this Agreement; provided, that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.
14.14.Liability of Agent.  None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of any Borrower, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lenders to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of any Borrower or their respective Subsidiaries.

	Amendments.

(a)No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and acknowledged by the Required Lenders, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, that, except to the extent set forth in Section 14.9 hereof, no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall (i) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) extend the date scheduled for payment of any principal (excluding mandatory prepayments) of or interest on the Loans or any fees payable hereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (iii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan, the rate of interest thereon or any fees payable hereunder, without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (iv) amend or modify the definitions of Borrowing Base or Eligible Accounts, or any components thereof (including, without limitation, any advance rates), without the written consent of each Lender; or (v) release any guarantor from its obligations under any Guaranty, other than as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder, or release or subordinate its liens on all or any substantial part of the Collateral granted under any of the other Loan Documents (except as permitted by Section 14.10), change the definition of Required Lenders, any provision of Section 6.2, any provision of this Section 15.4, the provisions of Section 14.9 or reduce the aggregate Pro Rata Share required to effect an amendment, modification, waiver or consent, without, in each case set forth in this clause (v), the written consent of all Lenders.

15.8.Benefit of Agreement; Assignability.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors, assigns, heirs, beneficiaries and representatives of each Borrower, each other Loan Party Obligor party hereto, Agent and each Lender; provided, that neither each Borrower nor any other Loan Party Obligor may assign or transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender, and any prohibited assignment shall be void.  No consent by Agent or any Lender to any assignment shall release any Loan Party Obligor from its liability for any of the Obligations.  Each Lender shall have the right to assign all or any of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to one or more other Persons in accordance with Section 15.9, and each Loan Party Obligor agrees to execute all agreements, instruments, and documents requested by any Lender in connection with such assignment. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, a Lender may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure any obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or grant to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank.
		15.9.
	Assignments.

(a)Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Persons (any such Person, an "Assignee") all or any portion of such Lender's Loans and Commitments, with the prior written consent of Agent and, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower Representative (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required for an assignment by a Lender to a Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) or an Affiliate of a Lender (other than an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender) or an Approved Fund (other than an Approved Fund of a Defaulting Lender)).  Except as Agent may otherwise agree, any such assignment shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or, if less, the remaining Commitment and Loans held by the assigning Lender (provided, that an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund shall not be subject to the foregoing minimum

assignment limitations).  The Loan Parties and Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned to an Assignee until Agent shall have received and accepted an effective Assignment and Assumption executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto and a processing fee of $3,500.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no assignment may be made to any equity holder of a Loan Party, any Affiliate of any equity holder of a Loan Party, any Loan Party, any holder of Replacement Term Loan Debt of a Loan Party (other than as a result of exercising the purchase option under Section 3 of the Intercreditor Agreement), any holder of any debt that is secured by liens or security interests that have been contractually subordinated to the liens and security interests securing the Obligations, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent may be withheld in Agent's sole discretion and, in any event, if granted, may be conditioned on such terms and conditions as Agent shall require in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, a limitation on the aggregate amount of Loans and Commitments which may be held by such Person and/or its Affiliates and/or limitations on such Person's and/or its Affiliates' voting and consent rights and/or rights to attend Lender meetings or obtain information provided to other Lenders.  Any attempted assignment not made in accordance with this Section 15.10 shall be null and void.  Each Borrower shall be deemed to have granted its consent to any assignment requiring its consent hereunder unless Borrower Representative has expressly objected to such assignment within five (5) Business Days after notice thereof.
(b)From and after the date on which the conditions described in Section 15.10(a) above have been met, (i) such Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such Assignee pursuant to the applicable Assignment and Assumption, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the assigning Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to the applicable Assignment and Assumption, shall be released from its rights (other than its indemnification rights) and obligations hereunder.  Upon the request of the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) pursuant to an effective Assignment and Assumption, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Agent for delivery to the Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Lender) a promissory note in the principal amount of the Assignee's Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Revolving Loan Commitment (and, as applicable, a promissory note in the principal amount of the Pro Rata Share of the aggregate Revolving Commitment retained by the assigning Lender).  Upon receipt by Agent of such promissory note(s), the assigning Lender shall return to Borrowers any prior promissory note held by it.
(c)Agent shall, as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrowers, maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered and accepted by it and register (the "Register") for the recordation of names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of each Lender and principal and stated interest of each Loan owing to each Lender from time to time and whether such Lender is the original Lender or the Assignee.  No assignment shall be effective unless and until the Assignment and Assumption is accepted and registered in the Register.  All records of transfer of a Lender's interest in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, as to the ownership of the interests in the Loans.  Agent shall not incur any liability of any kind with respect to any Lender with respect to the maintenance of the Register.  Each Lender granting a participation shall, as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register containing information similar to that of the Register in a manner such that the loans hereunder are in "registered form" for the purposes of the Code.  This Section and Section 19.1.2 shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in "registered form" for the purpose of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).
15.10.Participations. Anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without in any manner affecting or impairing the validity of any Obligations, sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Loans, commitments or other interests hereunder or under any other Loan Document (any such Person, a "Participant").  In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, (a) such Lender's obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (b)

-89-

​

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

15.13. Counterparts; Fax/Email Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement.

FURTHER, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL APPLY TO ALL DISPUTES OR CONTROVERSIES ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED TO OR WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

Please be advised that we have entered into certain financing arrangements (along with any other financing agreements that we may enter into with Agent in the future, the "Financing Arrangements") with ECLIPSE BUSINESS CAPITAL LLC (F/K/A ENCINA BUSINESS CREDIT, LLC) ("Agent"), as Agent for certain Lenders, pursuant to which we have granted to Agent a security interest in, among other things, any and all Accounts and Chattel Paper (as those terms are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) owing by you to us, whether now existing or hereafter arising.
You are authorized and directed to respond to any inquiries that Agent may direct to you from time to time pertaining to the validity, amount and other matters relating to such Accounts and Chattel Paper.  In the event that Agent requests that payment for any Accounts and/or Chattel Paper be made directly to Agent, you are hereby authorized and directed to comply with such instructions, without further authorization or instruction from us.

1.The Assignor hereby sells and assigns to the Assignee, without recourse, representation or warranty (except as expressly set forth elsewhere herein), and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor, on the Effective Date (as defined below), an interest as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Assigned Interest") in and to (i) all of the Assignor's right, title and interest with respect to the Loans set forth in Exhibit A, (ii) all of the Assignor's right, title and interest with respect to the Revolving Loan Commitment of Assignor as set forth in Exhibit A and (iii) to the extent related thereto, all of the Assignor's rights and obligations, solely as a Lender, under the Loan Agreement and any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, (A) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans made by the Assignor and assigned to Assignee hereunder, and (B) the Assignor's pro rata share of the obligations owing by each Loan Party under the Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents).

4.The Assignee represents and warrants to the Assignor that it has experience and expertise in the making of loans such as the Loans or with respect to the other types of credit which may be extended under the Loan Agreement; that it has acquired its Assigned Interest for its own account and not with any intention of selling all or any portion of such interest; and that it has received, reviewed and approved copies of all Loan Documents.
5.The Assignor shall not be responsible to the Assignee for the execution, effectiveness, accuracy, completeness, legal effect, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of any of the Loan Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made therein or in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents made or furnished or made available by the Assignor to the Assignee or by or on behalf of the Loan Parties to the Assignor or the Assignee in connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of the Loan Parties or any other Person liable for the payment of any Loans or payment of amounts owed in connection with other extensions of credit under the Loan Agreement or the value of the Collateral or any other matter.  The Assignor shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Loan Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or other extensions of credit under the Loan Agreement or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default.

If the Assignor receives or collects any payment of interest or fees attributable to the interests assigned to Assignee by this Assignment and Assumption which has accrued after the Effective Date, the Assignor shall distribute to the Assignee such payment.  If the Assignee receives or collects any payment of interest or fees which is not attributable to the interests assigned to the Assignee by this Assignment and Assumption or which has accrued on or prior to the Effective Date, the Assignee shall distribute to the Assignor such payment.
18.This Assignment and Assumption shall be delivered and accepted in and shall be deemed to be a contract made under and governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois (but giving effect to federal laws applicable to national banks) applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such state, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

thereof, but in any event no later than the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (i) have been sold, thereunder or pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) may be sold without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the affected Holders (the “Effectiveness Period”).  The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day.   The Company shall immediately notify the Holders by e-mail of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that the Company confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of such Registration Statement.  The Company shall, on the Trading Day after the effective date of such Registration Statement, file a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424.
​
(b) Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 2(a), if the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the Commission, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering, subject to the provisions of Section 2(d); with respect to filing on Form S-3 or other appropriate form; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall be obligated to use diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.
​
(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Commission or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Warrant Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Warrant Shares held by such Warrant Holders)
​
​

4

In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Warrant Holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Warrant Holder’s allotment.  In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended.
​
(d)If Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission.
​
(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Company be permitted to name any Warrant Holder or affiliate of a Warrant Holder as any Underwriter without the prior written consent of such Warrant Holder.
​
3. Registration Procedures.
​
In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:
​
(a)(i) Prepare and file with the Commission any such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities, (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424, (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to the Warrant Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided that, the Company shall excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and
​

5

​
(iv) comply in all material  respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended methods of disposition by the Warrant Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.
​
(b)If during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock then registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable an additional Registration Statement covering the resale by the Warrant Holders of not less than the number of such Registrable Securities.
​
(c)Notify the Warrant Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible (and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person) confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed, (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective, (ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose, (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose, (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the
​

6

Company, makes it not in the best interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided, however, that in no event shall any such notice contain any information which would constitute material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
​
(d)Use its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.
​
(e)Furnish to each Warrant Holder, without charge, at least one conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the extent requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission, provided that any such item which is available on the EDGAR system (or successor thereto) need not be furnished in physical form.
​
(f)Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Warrant Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).
​
(g) Prior to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Warrant Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Warrant Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the Registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Warrant Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Warrant Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement, provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.
​
(h)If requested by a Warrant Holder in writing, cooperate with such Warrant Holder to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a
​

7

Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Warrant Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Warrant Holder may request.
​
(i)Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither a Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  If the Company notifies the Warrant Holders in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(c) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Warrant Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus.  The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.  The Company shall be entitled to exercise its right under this Section 3(i) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus.
​
(j)Otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 172 under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement or amendment thereof, with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act, promptly inform the Warrant Holders in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified in Rule 172 and, as a result thereof, the Warrant Holders are required to deliver a Prospectus in connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.
​
(k)The Company shall use its best efforts to maintain eligibility for use of Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities.
​
(l)The Company may require each selling Warrant Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Warrant Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have voting and dispositive control over the shares..
​

4. Registration Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with, this Agreement by the Company shall be borne by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and independent registered public accountants) (A) with respect to filings made with the Commission, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed for trading, and (C) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions of the Registrable Securities), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (iii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iv) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (v) Securities Act liability insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  In addition, the Company shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder.  In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar commissions of any Warrant Holder or, except to the extent provided for in the Transaction Documents, any legal fees or other costs of the Warrant Holders.
​
5. Indemnification.
​
(a)Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Warrant Holder, the officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each of them, each Person who controls any such Warrant Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, partners, agents and employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or
​

9

alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Warrant Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Warrant Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Warrant Holder or such Warrant Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Warrant Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Warrant Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi), the use by such Warrant Holder of an outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable Prospectus after the Company has notified such Warrant Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated, defective or otherwise unavailable for use by such Warrant Holder and prior to the receipt by such Warrant Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d).  The Company shall notify the Warrant Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified person and shall survive the transfer of any Registrable Securities by any of the Warrant Holders in accordance with Section 6(h).
​
(b)Indemnification by Warrant Holders. Each Warrant Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Warrant Holder to the Company
​

10

expressly for inclusion in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such information relates to such Warrant Holder’s information provided in the Selling Stockholder Questionnaire or the proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Warrant Holder expressly for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Warrant Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto.  In no event shall the liability of a selling Warrant Holder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Warrant Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any damages such Warrant Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Warrant Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
​
(c)Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof, provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.
​
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless:  (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and counsel to the Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that a material conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written
​

11

consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.
​
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) not to be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
​
(d)Contribution. If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, any reasonable attorneys’ or other fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.
​
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such Warrant Holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any damages such Warrant Holder has otherwise been required to pay
​
​

12

by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
​
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.
​
6. Miscellaneous.
​
(a)Remedies.  In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Warrant Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Warrant Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.  Each of the Company and each Warrant Holder agrees that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
​
(b)Discontinued Disposition.  By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Warrant Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Warrant Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed.  The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable.
​
(c)Piggy-Back Registrations. If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Warrant Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Warrant Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Warrant Holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(c) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public
​
​

13

information requirements) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement that is available for resales or other dispositions by such Warrant Holder.
​
(d)Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Warrant Holders of 50.1% or more of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (for purposes of clarification, this includes any Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of any Security), provided that, if any amendment, modification or waiver disproportionately and adversely impacts a Warrant Holder (or group of Warrant Holders), the consent of such disproportionately impacted Warrant Holder (or group of Warrant Holders) shall be required.  If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Warrant Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Warrant Holders and each Warrant Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of a Warrant Holder or some Warrant Holders and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Warrant Holders may be given only by such Warrant Holder or Warrant Holders of all of the Registrable Securities to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified, or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the first  sentence of this Section 6(d). No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.
​
(e)Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.
​
(f)Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Warrant Holder. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Warrant Holders of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.  Each Warrant Holder may assign their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under Section 5.7 of the Warrant Agreement.
​
(g)Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the
​
​

14

same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
​
(h)Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement.
​
(i)Cumulative Remedies. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.
​
(j)Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
​
(k)Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
​
(l)Independent Nature of Warrant Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Warrant Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Warrant Holder hereunder, and no Warrant Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Warrant Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no action taken by any Warrant Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Warrant Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Warrant Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Warrant Holders are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or transactions. Each Warrant Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Warrant Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Warrant Holder, and was done solely for the convenience of
​

15

the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Warrant Holder.  It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement is between the Company and a Warrant Holder, solely, and not between the Company and the Warrant Holders collectively and not between and among Warrant Holders.

	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits Warrant Holders;

		·
	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

		·
	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

		·
	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

		·
	privately negotiated transactions;

		·
	settlement of short sales;

		·
	in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;

		·
	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

		·
	a combination of any such methods of sale; or

		·
	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the Warrant Holder of securities, from the Warrant Holder) in amounts to be negotiated, but,
​

except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume.  The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.  The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.  Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities.  The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect.  The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted
​

period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution.  In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person.  We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each Warrant Holder at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

Annex B
​
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
​
The common stock being offered by the selling shareholders are those previously issued to the selling shareholders, and those issuable to the selling shareholders, upon exercise of the warrants.  For additional information regarding the issuances of those shares of common stock and warrants, see “Description of Debt Financing” above.  We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling shareholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time.  Except for the ownership of the shares of common stock and the warrants, the selling shareholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.
​
The table below lists the selling shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling shareholders.  The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling shareholder, based on its ownership of the shares of common stock and warrants, as of ________, 2022, assuming exercise of the warrants held by the selling shareholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises.
​
The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders.
​
In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling shareholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) the number of shares of common stock issued to the selling shareholders in the “Private Placement of Shares of Common Stock and Warrants” described above and (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the related warrants, determined as if the outstanding warrants were exercised in full as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC, each as of the trading day immediately preceding the applicable date of determination and all subject to adjustment as provided in the registration right agreement, without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the warrants.  The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus.
​
Under the terms of the warrants, a selling shareholder may not exercise the warrants to the extent such exercise would cause such selling shareholder, together with its affiliates and attribution parties, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would exceed 19.99% of our then outstanding common stock following such exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second column does not reflect this limitation.  The selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering.  See "Plan of Distribution."
