2.01  The Merger.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, and in accordance with the relevant provisions of the CGCL, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into MD Office at the Effective Time.  MD Office shall be the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), initially under the name “MD Office Solutions, Inc.,” and shall continue its existence under the laws of the State of California, and the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease.
2.02  Effective Time.  On the Closing Date, the parties shall cause the Merger to be consummated by causing to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of California an agreement of merger (or like instrument) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “California Agreement of Merger”), as is required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the CGCL.  The Merger shall become effective at the time of the filing of the California Agreement of Merger (the “Effective Time”).
2.03  Effect of the Merger on Constituent Corporations.  At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the CGCL.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall succeed to all rights, privileges, powers, franchises and property of MD Office and Merger Sub, and shall be subject to all debts, duties and liabilities of MD Office and Merger Sub in the same manner as if the Surviving Corporation had itself incurred them.
2.04  Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
(a)  At the Effective Time, the Articles of Incorporation of MD Office shall be amended and restated in their entirety so as to be identical to the Articles of Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time until thereafter amended in accordance with the CGCL and as provided in such Articles of Incorporation;  provided, however, that at the Effective Time, Article FIRST of the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: The name of the corporation is “MD Office Solutions, Inc.”
(b)  The Bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with the CGCL and as provided in the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such Bylaws.
2.05  Directors and Officers.  The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.  The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation
2.06  Effect on Capital Stock.  Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Digirad,  Merger Sub,  MD Office or any holder of MD Office Common Stock the following shall occur:
(a)  Conversion of MD Office Common Stock.  At the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth below and throughout this Agreement (including Section 2.06(d)), including, without limitation, the post-closing working capital adjustment and escrow provisions set forth herein, each share of MD Office Common Stock issued and 

8

outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and any shares of MD Office Common Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.06(b)) shall be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive: that number of shares (as adjusted for fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.06(d), as the case may be) of Digirad Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the quotient obtained by dividing $2,684,000 (the “Stock Consideration”) by the Closing Stock Price by (ii) the Diluted Company Shares.
(b)  Cancellation of MD Office Common Stock Owned by MD Office.  At the Effective Time, all shares of MD Office Common Stock that are owned by MD Office as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or any other consideration paid or issued therefor.
(c)  Capital Stock of Merger Sub.  At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Merger Sub (“Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Digirad, Merger Sub or MD Office, be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation shall be a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Digirad.  Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of Merger Sub Common Stock shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.
(d)  Fractional Shares.  No fractional share of Digirad Common Stock shall be issued by virtue of the Merger.  In lieu thereof, each holder of shares of MD Office Common Stock that would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Digirad Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Digirad Common Stock to be received by such holder at such time) shall be entitled to receive the nearest whole number of shares of Digirad Common Stock (with 0.5 being rounded up).
(e)  Escrow.  Such number of shares of the Stock Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.06(a), in the amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $125,000 by the Closing Stock Price, shall be issued by Digirad, but not delivered to the Stockholders (such retained stock, the “Escrow Shares”).  The Escrow Shares shall be held by Digirad for a period of 6 months pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein under Section 6.05 and Article 7.  The portion of the Escrow Shares contributed by each Stockholder shall be based on the proportion of the Stock Consideration to be issued to the Stockholders in respect of shares of MD Office Common Stock held by such Stockholder immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger bears to the aggregate Stock Consideration to be issued in respect of all shares of MD Office Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger.  Set forth opposite each Stockholder’s name in Section 2.06(e) of the Schedules is the number of Escrow Shares to be contributed by each such Stockholder.  At Closing, each Stockholder shall deliver a stock power duly executed in blank associated with such Stockholder’s Escrow Shares.
(f)  Registration Rights.  All shares of Digirad Common Stock deliverable to any Stockholder under this Section 2.06 shall be subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and the agreement by each Stockholder to be bound by the terms thereof is a condition to the issuance of such shares. 
2.07  Delivery of Merger Consideration.
(a)  Digirad shall act as exchange agent hereunder with the reasonable cooperation of MD Office.  At the Effective Time, each Stockholder shall deliver the certificates evidencing shares of MD Office Common Stock (“Certificates”), duly endorsed in blank or stock powers duly executed in blank (such documents together with a duly executed counterpart signature page to the Registration Rights Agreement, collectively, being the “Stockholder Documents”), to Digirad or its designated agent, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.  Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.07, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender a certificate representing shares of Digirad Common Stock.
(b)  Promptly after receipt of the appropriate Stockholder Documents, Digirad shall deliver or caused to be delivered to such Stockholder the Stock Consideration to which such Stockholder is entitled under Section 2.06(a), subject to the deposit of any Escrow Shares into escrow in accordance with Section 2.06(e).  All certificates evidencing Stock Consideration shall bear a restrictive legend, as required under the Securities Act.
(c)  All shares of Digirad Common Stock issued upon conversion of the shares of MD Office Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of MD Office Common Stock.
(d)  In the event any Certificates to be delivered by a Stockholder shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Digirad shall issue certificates representing that number of shares of Stock Consideration in exchange for such lost, stolen or 

9

destroyed Certificates as such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates would entitle the Stockholder to receive under Section 2.06, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Stockholder; provided, however, that Digirad may, in its sole and absolute discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the Stockholder, in such case, to provide an indemnity or deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as security against any claim that may be made against Digirad with respect to such Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
(e)  Digirad shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of MD Office Common Stock such amounts as Digirad is required to deduct and withhold under applicable Law with respect to the making of such payment.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Digirad, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of MD Office Common Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by Digirad. 
(f)  Digirad shall issue the shares of Digirad Common Stock in exchange for outstanding shares of MD Office Common Stock as provided in Section 2.06(a) pursuant to an exemption or exemptions from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, and/or Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.  Digirad and MD Office shall comply with all applicable provisions of, and rules under, the Securities Act in connection with offering and issuance of shares of Digirad Common Stock in the Merger.
(g)  The value of the Merger Consideration shall be subject to adjustment only for the Post-Closing Adjustment in accordance with Section 2.12 and the payment of Earn-Out Payments pursuant to Section 2.13, which adjustment or payments shall be paid in cash as provided Section 2.12 and Section 2.13.
2.08  Dissenting Shares.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, those shares of MD Office Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by Stockholders who did not vote in favor of the Merger and who comply with all of the relevant provisions of the CGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless and until such Stockholders shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal under the CGCL, and any such Stockholder shall have only such rights in respect of the Dissenting Shares owned by them as are provided by the relevant provisions of the CGCL. If any such Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, such Stockholder’s Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable, as of the Effective Time, for the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration without any interest thereon, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.06.
2.09  No Further Transfer of Shares.  After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers of MD Office Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation.  If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or any other securities of MD Office are presented to the Surviving Corporation for transfer, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided in this Article 2.  As of the Effective Time, the stock ledger of MD Office shall be closed.
2.10  Closing.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place  simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and the date and time of the completion of the foregoing shall be deemed the “Closing Date”.  The Closing shall take place via the electronic exchange of documents and signatures.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) all proceedings at the Closing shall be deemed to be taken and all documents to be executed and delivered by all parties at the Closing shall be deemed to have been taken and executed simultaneously, and no proceedings shall be deemed taken nor any documents executed or delivered until all have been taken, executed or delivered, and (ii) that the Closing shall be deemed to have taken place at the offices of Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP, located at Park Avenue Tower, 65 East 55th Street, New York, NY 10022, or at such other date or at such other place as MD Office and Digirad may mutually agree upon in writing.

(b)  The post-closing adjustment shall be an amount (which may be positive or negative) equal to the Closing Working Capital minus the Target Working Capital (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”).  If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number greater than $5,000, Digirad shall pay to the Stockholders (with each Stockholder receiving his or her Pro Rata Share) an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment.  If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number with an absolute value greater than $5,000, the Stockholders shall pay to Digirad an amount equal to the absolute value of the Post-Closing Adjustment (the payment referred to in this sentence and the foregoing sentence, as applicable, the “Post-Closing Adjustment Payment”).  If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive or negative number with an absolute value equal to or less than $5,000, there shall be no Post-Closing Adjustment Payment.
(c)  After receipt of the Closing Statement, Stockholder shall have 30 days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Statement.  During the Review Period, Stockholder and Stockholder’s accountants shall have full access to the books and records of MD Office, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Digirad and/or Digirad’s accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Digirad’s possession) relating to the Closing Statement as Stockholder may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Statement and to prepare a Statement of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Digirad or MD Office.
(d)  On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Stockholder may object to the Closing Statement by delivering to Digirad a written statement setting forth Stockholder’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Stockholder’s disagreement therewith (the “Statement of Objections”).  If Stockholder fails to deliver the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment Payment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Stockholder.  If Stockholder delivers the Statement of Objections before the expiration of the Review Period, Digirad and Stockholder shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within 30 days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (the “Working Capital Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Working Capital Resolution Period, the Post-Closing 

12

Adjustment Payment and the Closing Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Digirad and Stockholder, shall be final and binding.
(e)  If Stockholder and Digirad fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections before expiration of the Working Capital Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (the “Disputed Amounts”) shall be submitted for resolution to the Independent Accountants who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment Payment, as the case may be, and the Closing Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality.  The Independent Accountants shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Statement and the Statement of Objections, respectively.  The Independent Accountants shall make a determination as soon as practicable within 30 days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment Payment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.  The fees and disbursements of the Independent Accountants under this Section 2.12 shall be borne jointly and severally by Stockholders unless the adjustments to the Disputed Amounts resulting from Stockholder Representative’s delivery of the Statement of Objections caused change in the Post-Closing Adjustment Payment, as amended by Digirad prior to its submission to the Independent Accountants, in excess of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) in favor of Stockholders, in which case such fees and disbursements shall be borne exclusively by Digirad.
(f)  Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment Payment shall (A) be due (x) within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Statement or (y) if there are Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the resolution described in Section 2.12(e) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by Digirad or Stockholder, as the case may be.  All amounts due hereunder shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(b).
(g)  Any rights accruing to any party under this Section 2.12 shall be in addition to and independent of the rights to indemnification under Article 6 and any payments made to any party under this Section 2.12 shall not be subject to the requirements of Article 6.
(h)  Any payments made pursuant to Section 2.12 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.
2.13  Earn Out.
(a)  As part of the Merger Consideration, Digirad shall pay Earn-Out Payments, if any, to the Stockholders on the following terms and conditions: (i) for each of the 2015 Earn-Out Period, the 2016 Earn-Out Period, and the 2017 Earn-Out Period (each such earn-out period, an “Earn-Out Period” and collectively, the “Earn-Out Term”), to the extent the EBITDA earned by the Surviving Corporation exceeds the applicable Earn-Out Threshold for that Earn-Out Period, Digirad shall pay to each Stockholder his or her Pro Rata Share of fifty percent (50%) of EBITDA earned by the Surviving Corporation in excess of the applicable Earn-Out Threshold for the related Earn-Out Period (each an “Earn-Out Payment”), subject to clause 2.13(a)(ii) below; (ii) fifty percent (50%) of all Earn-Out Payments for the 2015 and 2016 Earn-Out Periods shall be retained by Digirad (and shall accrue interest at a rate of 90-day LIBOR plus 2% simple interest per annum) until the end of the Earn-Out Term in order to satisfy resolution of any Potential Claims and to pay expenses related thereto (the “Earn-Out Escrow”), at which time any amount remaining of the Earn-Out Escrow (plus accrued interest) shall be paid to the Stockholders (with each Stockholder receiving his or her Pro Rata Share); and (iv) in the aggregate, the Earn-Out Payments shall not exceed $400,000 for the entire Earn-Out Term.  By way of illustration and not limitation: (A) if during the 2015 Earn-Out Period (that portion of the 2015 calendar year beginning on the Closing Date), the EBITDA achieved by the Surviving Corporation is $300,000 in excess of the Earn-Out Threshold for such period, such excess EBITDA will be divided $75,000 to the Stockholders (with each Stockholder receiving his or her Pro Rata Share), $75,000 to Digirad for inclusion in the Earn-Out Escrow, and $150,000 to Digirad, (B) if during the 2016 Earn-Out Period (the 2016 calendar year), the EBITDA achieved by the Surviving Corporation is $450,000 in excess of the Earn-Out Threshold  for such period, such excess EBITDA will be divided $112,500 to the Stockholders (with each Stockholder receiving his or her Pro Rata Share), $112,500 to Digirad for inclusion in the Earn-Out Escrow, and $225,000 to Digirad, (C) if during the 2017 Earn-Out Period (the 2017 calendar year), the EBITDA achieved by the Surviving Corporation is $50,000 in excess of the Earn-Out Threshold  for such period, such excess EBITDA will be divided $25,000 to the Stockholders (with each Stockholder receiving his or her Pro Rata Share) and $25,000 to Digirad and (D) if Digirad used $100,000 of the Earn-Out Escrow amount in connection with expenses related to Potential Claims, Digirad would release $87,500 to the Stockholders (with each Stockholder receiving his or her Pro Rata Share) at the conclusion of the Earn-Out Term. 

13

(b)  Each Earn-Out Payment shall be made to Stockholders on an annual basis, with each Stockholder receiving his or her Pro Rata Share no later than the earlier of: (a) ten (10) days after Digirad has filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC covering the applicable Earn-Out Period, or (b) 105 days after the end of Digirad’s fiscal year covering the applicable Earn-Out Period.  Each Earn-Out Payment shall (i) be accompanied by a statement (the “Earn-Out Statement”) that describes in reasonable detail how the Earn-Out Payment was calculated and (ii) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by each Stockholder.  Digirad shall send a copy of the Earn-Out Statement to Stockholder Representative at the same time the Earn-Out Statement is sent to Stockholders.  Digirad shall, and shall direct its employees to, cooperate with Stockholder Representative and its professionals, and provide them with access to all books and records of MD Office necessary for their review of the Earn-Out Statement.  
(c)  Stockholder Representative may dispute Digirad’s calculation of any Earn-Out Payment by notifying Digirad in writing, setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement (the “Notice of Objection”), within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Earn-Out Statement by the Stockholder Representative.  To the extent not set forth in the Notice of Objection, the Stockholder Representative and the Stockholders shall be deemed to have agreed with all other calculations, items and amounts set forth in the Earn-Out Statement.  In the event that Stockholder Representative does not deliver an Notice of Objection to Digirad within fifteen (15) days after the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the Earn-Out Statement, the Stockholders shall be deemed to have accepted Digirad’s calculation of the Earn-Out Payment set forth in the Earn-Out Statement.  In the event that an Notice of Objection is timely delivered, Digirad and Stockholder Representative shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts and exchange any information reasonably requested by the other party for a period of fifteen (15) days after the receipt by Digirad of the Notice of Objection (the “Earn-Out Resolution Period”), or such longer period as they may agree in writing, to resolve any disagreements set forth in the Notice of Objection.

Without the prior written consent of Digirad, Stockholders will not, directly or indirectly, offer for sale, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate, give, create a security interest in or lien on, place in trust (voting or otherwise), assign in any other way, encumber or dispose of, directly or indirectly or whether or not by operation of law or for value (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any Digirad Common Stock received pursuant to this Agreement except pursuant to a effective registration statement filed with the SEC.
6.04  Tax-Free Reorganization Treatment.  It is the intent of all parties hereto that the Merger be treated as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.  The parties hereto adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of Merger Sub, Digirad and MD Office shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to qualify, and will not take any actions, or fail to take any action, which could reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code.  Merger Sub, Digirad, MD Office and the Surviving Corporation shall report, to the extent required or permitted by the Code or the regulations thereunder, the Merger for United States federal income tax purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of Section of 368(a) of the Code and shall file all Tax Returns consistent with the foregoing and shall not take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such treatment or unless required to do so by applicable law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Merger Sub nor Digirad guaranty that the Merger will qualify or be treated as a “reorganization” under the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code.  Digirad and MD Office will each make available to the other party and their respective legal counsel copies of all returns requested by the other party.
6.05  Escrow of Certain Consideration.  After the Closing, Digirad shall act as escrow agent with respect to the Escrowed Consideration and shall establish a segregated account at its office or with Digirad’s regular commercial bank to hold the Escrowed Consideration (the “Escrow”).  Until such time as the Escrowed Consideration is released from the Escrow in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and subject to Section 2.08 and the indemnification obligations of MD Office and the Stockholders under Article 7, the Escrow Shares shall be certificated and issued in the names of the holders who received the Stock Consideration in proportion to their interest in the Escrow Shares, and the Earn-Out Escrow shall be deposited and held in a segregated account at Digirad’s regular commercial bank.  Digirad shall comply with the procedures pertaining to the Escrow, the Escrowed Consideration and any disputes related thereto as set forth in Sections 7.04 and 7.05 below.  The Escrow Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and outstanding shares of Digirad.  Stockholders shall be entitled to vote Escrowed Shares and receive dividends on Escrowed Shares.  In the event the Escrowed Shares are returned to Digirad, all rights of the Stockholder to such Escrowed Shares in whose name they were issued, shall cease.
6.06  Takeover Statute.  If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of Digirad and MD Office and its respective board of directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement, any necessary filings are made and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions.
6.07  Payment of MD Office Transaction Expenses.  Digirad shall, within 20 days of the receipt of the necessary information, pay and satisfy in full all outstanding MD Office Transaction Expenses not paid in full pursuant to Section 2.11(a)(xiv) of this Agreement (the “Additional MD Office Transaction Expenses”).  Digirad shall, after such payments have been made, have the right to set-off an amount equal to the Additional MD Office Transaction Expenses against the Escrowed Consideration, or against amounts payable by Digirad as a Post-Closing Adjustment Payment, or in connection with any Earn-Out Payments payable by Digirad, if any, on a dollar-for-dollar basis.  Any amounts deliverable or payable by Digirad, as applicable, as a release from escrow or a Post-Closing Adjustment Payment or in connection with any Earn-Out Payments payable by Digirad, if any, which are set-off pursuant to this paragraph shall be deemed no longer be due or payable or deliverable by Digirad.
6.08  Tax Matters.  To the extent permitted under applicable law, the Stockholders, MD Office and Digirad shall close or terminate (or cause to be closed or terminated), as of the close of business on the Closing Date, each Tax period relating to any Tax or Tax Return.  
(a)  To the extent not filed prior hereto, the Stockholders shall prepare or cause to be prepared at their own cost and expense, in accordance with applicable law and consistent with past practice, each Tax Return for each Pre-Closing Tax Period.  At least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which a Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), the Stockholders shall deliver such Tax Return to Digirad.   No later than five (5) days prior to the date on which a Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), Digirad may make reasonable changes and revisions to such Tax Return.  The Stockholders shall cooperate fully in making any reasonable changes and revisions to any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period.  At least three (3) days prior to the date on which a Tax Return (as reasonably revised by Digirad) for a Pre-Closing Tax Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), the Stockholders shall pay to Digirad an amount equal to any Tax due with respect to such Tax Return, and Digirad shall file such Tax Return.

29

(b)  Digirad shall prepare and file each Tax Return for any Post-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period in accordance with applicable Law.  At least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which a Tax Return for a Straddle Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), Digirad shall deliver such Tax Return to the Stockholders. No later than five (5) days prior to the date on which a Tax Return for any Straddle Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), the Stockholders may make reasonable changes and revisions to such Tax Return.  Digirad shall cooperate fully in making any reasonable changes and revisions to any Tax Return for any Straddle Period.  At least three (3) days prior to the date on which such Tax Return for a Straddle Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), the Stockholders shall pay to Digirad an amount equal to the Tax on such Tax Return to the extent such Tax relates, as determined under Section 6.08(d), to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date. 
(c)  In the case of a Tax payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of a Tax (other than a Tax based upon or related to income, employment, sales or other transactions, franchise or receipts) be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion ending on the Closing Date of the Straddle Period and the denominator of which is the number of all of the days in the Straddle Period; and (ii) in the case of a Tax based upon or related to income, employment, sales or other transactions, franchise or receipts, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date and such Tax was based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date.
(d)  Each party shall promptly forward to the other a copy of all written communications from any Governmental Authority relating to any Tax or Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period.  Upon reasonable request, Digirad and the Stockholders shall each make available to the other all information, records or other documents relating to any Tax or any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period.  Digirad and the Stockholders shall preserve all information, records or other documents relating to a Tax or a Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, until the date that is six (6) months after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the Tax or the Tax Return.  Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any information, records or documents relating to any Tax or any Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, the Stockholders shall give to Digirad a reasonable written notice and, to the extent Digirad so requests, the Stockholders shall permit Digirad to take possession of all such information, records and documents.  In addition, Digirad and each Stockholder shall cooperate with each other in connection with all matters relating to the preparation of any Tax Return or the payment of any Tax and in connection with any Claim relating to any Tax or Tax Return.  Nothing in this Section 6.08(e) shall not affect or limit any the indemnity or similar provision or any other representations, warranties or obligations of MD Office or the Stockholders.  Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses in complying with the provisions of this Section 6.08(e). 
(e)  All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Stockholders when due, and the Stockholders will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees.  If required by applicable law, the Stockholders will join in the execution of any such Tax returns or other documentation.
(f)  The Stockholders shall neither make nor request a refund of any Tax or with respect to any Tax Return or amend any Tax Return, unless Digirad, in its sole discretion, consents.  Digirad shall not be obligated to seek or request any refund of any Tax or amend any Tax Return.
(g)  Any Tax sharing or similar agreement with respect to or involving MD Office shall be terminated as of the Closing Date, without liability to any party and shall have no further effect for any year (whether the current year, a future year or a past year).  Any amounts payable under any Tax sharing or similar agreement shall be cancelled as of the Closing Date, without any liability to MD Office or the Stockholders.
6.09  Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.
(a)  For a period of five (5) years following the Closing Date, no Stockholder will, without the express written consent of an authorized representative of Digirad, do any of the following within the Territory: 
(i)  seek or accept employment or enter into any other contractual or other relationship with any entity that is either: (A) a Customer; or (B) in direct or indirect competition with the business of MD Office or Digirad as of the date of this Agreement. 

30

(ii)  directly or indirectly, on Stockholder’s own behalf or on behalf of any person, firm or corporation, or in any capacity whatsoever, solicit or accept business from any Customers of MD Office or Digirad or encourage any Customer not to do business with MD Office or Digirad.
(iii)  directly or indirectly hire, solicit or attempt to hire or solicit: (A) any employee of, or consultant to MD Office or Digirad, or (B) any former employee or consultant that had been rendering services to MD Office or Digirad at anytime within the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Closing Date.
(b)  Each Stockholder agrees that in the event a court determines the length of time, territory or activities prohibited under this Agreement are too restrictive to be enforceable, the court may reduce the scope of the restriction to the extent necessary to make the restriction enforceable.
(c)  Each Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Section 6.09 are essential to the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and that MD Office and Digirad shall be protected by the restrictive covenants.  It is a condition precedent to each Stockholder participating in the Agreement and thereby benefiting from the value of MD Office and its Affiliates that each such Stockholder agrees to be bound by the restrictive covenants and the other covenants contained in this Agreement, which each Stockholder acknowledges and agrees are reasonable and necessary for MD Office and Digirad to have and enjoy the benefits of the Transactions contemplated hereby.
(d)  For purposes of this Section 6.09, (i) “Customer(s)” shall mean any individual, corporation, partnership, business or other entity, whether for-profit or not-for-profit public, privately held, or owned by the United States government that is a business entity or individual with whom MD Office or Digirad has done business or with whom Stockholder has actively negotiated during the twenty four (24) month period immediately preceding the Closing Date, but “Customer(s)” shall not include any business operations of a Customer outside the Territory; “Customers” shall not include vendors. and (ii) “Territory” shall mean throughout (i) the State of California; and (ii) the area that is within a 180 mile radius of any operating hub of the MD Office, Digirad Corporation, or their parents, subsidiaries, divisions or Affiliates.  Such existing locations are set forth on Schedule 6.09.  In the event new locations are opened, Digirad shall so advise Stockholder Representative and such new locations shall be deemed added to Schedule 6.09.  In no event shall the Territory include the State of Washington, regardless of whether Digirad ultimately does business there.
(e)  Notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 6.09, if Stockholder is party to a New Service Agreement, the terms regarding “Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation” included in such New Service Agreement shall govern with regard to restrictions on competition and solicitation, and such Stockholder will be bound by the restrictive covenants and the other covenants contained in such New Service Agreement.
ARTICLE 7
INDEMNIFICATION
7.01  Survival.  The representations and warranties contained herein (other than the Fundamental Representations) shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is 12 months from the Closing Date.  The Fundamental Representations shall survive indefinitely.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.  No claim for indemnification may be asserted against any party for breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein, unless written notice of such claim is received by such party describing in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances with respect to the subject matter of such claim on or prior to the date on which the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on which such claim is based ceases to survive as set forth in this Section 7.01.
7.02  Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of Digirad and the Stockholders.
(a)  Subject to Section 7.10 and the Side Letter, the Stockholders shall, on a pro rata basis,  indemnify Digirad for any and all loss, damage, cost (including allocable costs incurred by employees), reasonable expense (including court costs, amounts paid in settlement, judgments, attorneys’ fees or other expenses for investigating and defending), suit, action, claim, deficiency, liability or obligation (collectively, “Loss”) suffered by Digirad, the Surviving Corporation or any of their officers, directors, agents, stockholders, representatives, parents, subsidiaries, Affiliates, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Digirad Indemnified Parties”), related to, caused by or arising from (i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by MD Office, (ii) Potential Claims, (iii) any Tax relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing 

31

Date, or (iv) any failure by MD Office to fulfill any covenant or agreement contained herein or in any other agreement, instrument or other document delivered pursuant hereto.
(b)  Subject to Section 7.10 and the Side Letter, each Stockholder, individually and not jointly, shall indemnify Digirad for any and all Losses suffered by any Digirad Indemnified Parties related to, caused by or arising from (i) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by such Stockholder (but, for purposes of clarity only, other than with respect to Section 3.04, not from any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by MD Office), or (ii) any failure by the Stockholder to fulfill, either prior to or after the Effective Time, any covenant or agreement of such Stockholder contained herein (but, for purposes of clarity only, not from any failure by MD Office to fulfill any covenant or agreement of MD Office contained herein). With respect to any representation or warranty made in Article 3 as to the knowledge of MD Office and/or the Knowledge of the Stockholders, the breach of such representation or warranty shall be deemed to be a breach by MD Office and not such Stockholders.
(c)  Digirad shall indemnify the Stockholders for any and all Losses suffered by the Stockholders (the “Stockholder Indemnified Parties”), related to, caused by or arising from (a) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Digirad or Merger Sub, or (b) any failure by Digirad or Merger Sub to fulfill, either prior to or after the Effective Time, any covenant or agreement contained herein.
7.03  Intentionally Omitted.
7.04  Limitation of Indemnification Obligations.
(a)  Subject to Section 7.05, the indemnification provided for in Section 7.02 shall be subject to the following limitations:
(i)  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 7.02 (except with respect to a breach of a Fundamental Representation or any Tax identified under Section 7.02(a)(iii)), with respect to any item or group of related items where the aggregate Losses suffered by the Indemnified Party for such item or group of related items do not exceed $10,000;
(ii)  In the event any Losses of a Digirad Indemnified Party are recovered from the Escrowed Consideration, such indemnification shall be paid first from the Escrow Shares (based on the Claim Value of the Escrow Shares); and
(iii)  except in the case of fraud, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.02 shall not exceed the Maximum Stockholder Liability.
In the event that any Losses recovered by Digirad from the Escrowed Consideration are on account of a misrepresentation or breach of warranty by one or more (but not all) Stockholders or any failure by one or more (but not all) Stockholders to fulfill any covenant or agreement contained herein, then the Losses recovered by Digirad from the Escrowed Consideration shall only be recovered or deducted from the Escrow Shares or Earn-Out Escrow corresponding to the breaching Stockholder or Stockholders that were placed in the Escrow and shall not be recovered or deducted from any Escrow Shares or Earn-Out Escrow of the non-breaching Stockholder or Stockholders that were placed in the Escrow. For purposes of clarity, in the event that any Losses recovered by Digirad from the Escrowed Consideration are on account of a misrepresentation or breach of warranty by MD Office or by all (but not less than all) Stockholders or any failure by MD Office or by all (but not less than all) Stockholders to fulfill any covenant or agreement contained herein, then the Losses recovered by Digirad from the Escrowed Consideration shall not be limited to the Escrow Shares or Earn-Out Escrow of any individual Stockholder, but shall be recovered or deducted from the Escrowed Consideration pro rata among all Stockholders.
(b)  On the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Effective Time, the Escrowed Consideration then held by Digirad in excess of Digirad’s then-current estimate of the value of any pending indemnification claim(s) (which determination shall be reasonable and in good faith) shall be released to the Stockholders who have interests in the Escrowed Consideration hereunder and the balance retained in escrow; provided that such amount of Escrow Shares so retained shall be determined based upon the closing price per share of Digirad Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on the last trading day before such release is to be made. On each such date, any released Escrowed Consideration shall be distributed to the persons who have interests in the Escrowed Consideration hereunder (on a pro rata basis) as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following such date.  Thereafter, upon the resolution or settlement of each claim made against the Escrowed Consideration, the remaining outstanding Escrowed Consideration to be retained shall be determined based upon the Claim Value of the Escrow Shares.

32

7.05  Indemnification Procedures.
(a)  A party seeking indemnification under this Article 7 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the party to provide indemnification under this Article 7 (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any Claim, demand, action or proceeding for which indemnification will be sought under Section 7.02, and, if such Claim, demand, action or proceeding is a third party Claim, demand, action or proceeding, the Indemnifying Party will have the right at its expense to assume the defense thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, with respect to any such third party Claim, demand, action or proceeding.  In connection with any such third party Claim, demand, action or proceeding, the parties shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with access to relevant books and records in their possession related to such Claim.  No such third party Claim, demand, action or proceeding shall be settled without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  If a firm written offer is made to settle any such third party Claim, demand, action or proceeding, which offer does not involve any injunctive or non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party proposes to accept such settlement and the Indemnified Party refuses to consent to such settlement, then: (i) the Indemnifying Party shall be excused from, and the Indemnified Party shall be solely responsible for, all further defense of such third party Claim, demand, action or proceeding; and (ii) the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party relating to such third party Claim, demand, action or proceeding shall be the amount of the proposed settlement if the amount thereafter recovered from the Indemnified Party on such third party Claim, demand, action or proceeding is greater than the amount of the proposed settlement. In the event that any party shall fail to make such commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any Claim or liability, then notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, the other party shall not be required to indemnify any person for any Losses that could reasonably be expected to have been avoided if such efforts had been made.
(b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Digirad seeks recovery pursuant to a claim for indemnification under Section 7.02, the Stockholder Representative shall have 30 days after receipt of the claim notice required pursuant to Section 7.05(a) above to notify Digirad in writing (the “Response Notice”) whether the Stockholders accept liability for all or any part of the Losses described in such claim notice.
(i)  If the Stockholder Representative does not so notify Digirad, the Stockholders shall be deemed to accept liability for all the Losses described in the claim notice subject to Section 7.04. 
(ii)  If in his Response Notice the Stockholder Representative agrees that some or all of the Losses described in Digirad’s claim notice are indemnifiable claims and Losses pursuant to Section 7.02 (or if the Stockholder Representative fails to deliver a Response Notice within the required time period and as such is deemed to have agreed) then Digirad shall have the right to recover such undisputed indemnifiable claims and Losses from the Escrowed Consideration pursuant and subject to Section 7.04 above. 
(iii)  If the Stockholder Representative gives a Response Notice contesting whether some or all of the Losses described in Digirad’s claim notice are indemnifiable claims and Losses pursuant to Section 7.02, then such dispute shall be resolved as follows:
(A)  The Stockholder Representative and Digirad shall attempt to resolve such dispute amicably through good faith discussions upon the request of either party; and
(B)  In the event that such dispute cannot be resolved through such discussions within a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of the request described in Section 7.5(b)(iii)(A) above, the dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration in the City of  San Diego, in the State of California, in accordance with the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association.  The arbitrator(s) shall have the right to grant specific performance, and to allocate the costs of arbitration in such equitable manner as the arbitrator(s) may deem appropriate.  In the event the non-prevailing party is a Stockholder, the prevailing party shall receive such reimbursement out of the Escrowed Consideration.  Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  For any dispute submitted to arbitration hereunder, the burden of proof will be as it would be if the claim were litigated in a judicial proceeding.
(c)  In the event Digirad seeks indemnification under this Article 7 on account of a misrepresentation or breach of warranty by one or more (but not all) Stockholders or any failure by one or more (but not all) Stockholders to fulfill any covenant or agreement contained herein, then for purposes of this Section 7.05 references to the Stockholder Representative in this Section 7.05 shall refer to such Stockholder or Stockholders individually.
7.06  Share Value.  When payments to a Digirad Indemnified Party are to be made from Escrow Shares, such Escrow Shares shall be valued at the closing price per share of Digirad Common Stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on the last trading 

33

day before such claim is to be paid (the “Claim Value”).  In lieu of releasing such Escrow Shares to a Digirad Indemnified Party, the Stockholder Representative may elect to make payment to a Digirad Indemnified Party on behalf of the Stockholders in full, but not partial, satisfaction of the Claim, and the Escrow Shares for which such substitute cash payment is made shall then be released to the Stockholders on a pro rata basis.
7.07  Exceptions to Limitations.  Except as set forth in Section 7.10, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict in any manner any rights or remedies that any party has, or might have, at law, in equity or otherwise, against any other party, based on any fraudulent action, willful misrepresentation or willful breach of any warranty or representation.
7.08  Effect of Investigation or Knowledge.  Any claim by an Indemnified Party for indemnification shall not be adversely affected by any investigation by or opportunity to investigate afforded to Acquiring Parties.  Each party shall be deemed to be relying on the representations and warranties of the other party set forth herein regardless of any investigation or audit conducted before or after the Closing Date or the decision of any party to consummate the Transactions.
7.09  Payment of Indemnification Obligations; Set-Off Right.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event any Digirad Indemnified Party has made any claim or claims for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, which claim or claims have not been resolved or satisfied prior to the date of an Earn-Out Payment, Digirad shall have the right to set-off such amount against such Earn-Out Payments on a dollar-for-dollar basis in an amount equal to the aggregate dollar value of such claim or claims (or Digirad’s good faith estimate thereof) until such time as such claim or claims have been finally resolved or satisfied.  Any Earn-Out Payments payable by Digirad which are set-off pursuant to this Section 7.09 shall no longer be due or payable by Digirad
7.10  Stockholder Liability.  In the event that a Digirad Indemnified Party seeks to satisfy any Losses and the set-off rights of Digirad under Section 7.09 and the value of the Escrowed Consideration fails to fully satisfy the amount of such Losses, such Digirad Indemnified Party may seek payment on account of the unsatisfied amount of such Losses from each Stockholder in an amount up to such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of such Losses based upon the amount of Merger Consideration paid to such Stockholder.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Stockholder shall have liability hereunder beyond such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of  Maximum Stockholder Liability.
7.11  Indemnity Reimbursement.  Although it is the intention of the parties that all indemnification payments or set-offs of Escrowed Consideration be pro-rated between the Stockholders, in the event any indemnification is paid by any Stockholder (or offset against Escrowed Consideration) for any breach caused by MD Office or another Stockholder (collectively “Indemnification Payment”), the Stockholders shall apportion such Indemnification Payment such that each Stockholder is responsible for his/her Pro-Rata Share of such payment.  For the sake of clarity, if Michael Keenan is required to pay indemnity of $20,000 on account of a breach by MD Office, Samia Arram shall reimburse Mr. Keenan for $7,000 (35%) and David Keenan shall reimburse Mr. Keenan for $2,000 (10%).

8.07  Arbitration.  Unless otherwise provided herein, all disputes under this Agreement shall be settled by arbitration in the City of  San Diego, in the State of California, before a panel of three arbitrators pursuant to the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association.  Arbitration may be commenced at any time by any of Digirad, Merger Sub, MD Office, the Surviving Corporation or the Stockholder Representative by giving written notice to each other party to a dispute that such dispute has been referred to arbitration under this Section 8.07.  Each of the Acquiring Parties (or any single member thereof), on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, shall select one of the arbitrators within 15 days after the date of the notice of arbitration described above; and each shall give the other written notice of the name, and address of the arbitrator it selected.  The two arbitrators so selected shall jointly agree on the selection of the third arbitrator, but if they do not so agree within 30 days after the date of the notice of arbitration described above, the selection of the third arbitrator shall be made pursuant to the rules from the panels of arbitrators maintained by the American Arbitration Association.  None of the arbitrators shall have had any past or present relationship with or interest in any of the parties or any of their respective Affiliates.  Any award rendered by the arbitrators shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto; provided, however, that any such award shall be accompanied by a written opinion of the arbitrators giving the reasons for the award.  This provision for arbitration shall be specifically enforceable by the parties and the decision of the arbitrators in accordance herewith shall be final and binding and there shall be no right of appeal therefrom.  Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be.  In no event shall a demand for arbitration be made by any party with respect to any dispute, claim or other matter after the date on which litigation based on such dispute, claim or other matter would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.  Each party shall pay its own expenses of arbitration and the expenses of the arbitrator selected by it, and the expenses of the third arbitrator shall be equally shared; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the arbitrators any claim for indemnification or any defense or objection thereto was unreasonable, the arbitrator may assess, as part of his award, all or any part of the arbitration expenses of the other party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and of the arbitrator against the party raising such unreasonable claim, defense or objection.
8.08  Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a)  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction).
(b)  ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY MAY BE INSTITUTED IN THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA OR THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IN EACH CASE LOCATED IN THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO AND COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, AND EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  SERVICE OF PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR OTHER DOCUMENT BY MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR 

36

ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT.  THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR ANY PROCEEDING IN SUCH COURTS AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE AND AGREE NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.
(c)  EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.  EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.08(b).
8.09  Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the remainder hereof, and the application of such provision to such Person or circumstance in any other jurisdiction or to other Persons or circumstances in any jurisdiction, shall not be affected thereby, and to this end the provisions of this Agreement shall be severable.
8.10  No Third-party Beneficiaries.  The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the parties and, in the case of Article 7, the other Digirad Indemnified Parties, and their heirs, administrators, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
8.11  Stockholder Representative.  By virtue of the Stockholders’ adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger, and without further act of any Stockholder, the Stockholders shall be deemed to have appointed Michael Keenan as the agent and attorney-in-fact for each Stockholder (except such Stockholders, if any, holding Dissenting Shares) to act on behalf of the Stockholders with respect to any and all matters, claims, controversies, or disputes arising out of the terms of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents and to take any action on behalf of the Stockholders thereunder (the “Stockholder Representative”).  If more than one Person acts as the Stockholder Representative, a decision of a majority of such Persons shall be conclusive.  In the event of the death, disability or resignation of a Stockholder Representative, a successor may be appointed by a majority in interest of the Stockholders.  The Stockholder Representative shall have the power to take any and all actions which the Stockholder Representative believes are necessary or appropriate or in the best interests of the Stockholders, as fully as if each such Stockholder was acting on its, his or her own behalf with respect to the Merger and all claims for indemnification under this Agreement and to take any action or no action in connection therewith as the Stockholder Representative may deem appropriate as effectively as the Stockholders could act themselves, including the settlement or compromise of any dispute or controversy. The authority granted hereunder is deemed to be coupled with an interest.  The death or incapacity of any Stockholder shall not terminate the authority and agency of the Stockholder Representative.  Digirad shall have the right to rely on any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Stockholder Representative as being the act or omission of the Stockholders, without the need for any inquiry, and any such actions or omissions shall be binding upon each of the Stockholders.  The Stockholder Representative shall incur no liability, loss, damage or expense as a result of any action taken in good faith hereunder, including any legal fees and expenses.
8.12  Disclosure Schedule.  The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in numbered sections corresponding to the Sections and subsections of this Agreement to which they relate.  Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein, unless such exception is identified specifically in the applicable section of the Disclosure Schedule and shall be complete with cross references where appropriate which, in such case, shall constitute the only valid disclosure with respect to such Section(s) hereof.
8.13  Other Remedies; Specific Performance.  Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.  The parties hereby acknowledge that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were 

37

not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  Each of the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in any court having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.  In any action at law or suit in equity to enforce this Agreement or the rights of any of the parties hereunder, the prevailing party in such action or suit shall be entitled to receive a reasonable sum for its attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in such action or suit, if in such action or suit the principal claim or defense of the non-prevailing party is held to be without merit because it was not reasonably supported by Laws or material and relevant facts.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The purpose of this letter agreement (this "Agreement") is to set forth the terms and conditions of the Transactions entered into between Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank") and Flatiron Funding, LLC, a limited liability company formed under the law of the State of Delaware ("Counterparty"), on the Trade Date specified below (each, a "Transaction" and, collectively, the "Transactions"). This letter constitutes a "Confirmation" as referred to in the Master Agreement specified below.

 

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the "Definitions"), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Confirmation have the meanings assigned to them in Annex A. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Confirmation or in Annex A have the meanings assigned to them in the Definitions.

 

With effect from and after the Eighth Amendment Effective Date, this Confirmation amends and restates the prior Confirmation dated December 17, 2012 and amended and restated as of December 9, 2013, February 18, 2014, April 30, 2014, July 30, 2014, September 5, 2014, November 18, 2014 and January 20, 2015 between Citibank and Counterparty (the "Original Confirmation") relating to the Transactions described herein, which Original Confirmation is hereby superseded and shall be of no further force or effect.

This Confirmation supplements, forms a part of and is subject to, the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2012 (as amended, supplemented and otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the "Master Agreement"), between Citibank and Counterparty.

	Eighth Amendment Effective Date:	March 4, 2015
	 	 
	
Scheduled Termination Date:

	
The latest date for the final scheduled payment (or, if there is only one scheduled payment, for the scheduled payment) of principal of any Reference Obligation at any time included in the Reference Portfolio, as such date may be accelerated pursuant to the first sentence of Clause 3(c).

	 	 
	
Citibank Call Date:

	
December 17, 2015; provided that Citibank and Counterparty may agree in writing to extend the Citibank Call Date.

	 	 
	
Termination Date:

	
The final Scheduled Settlement Date (as defined in the Master Agreement) with respect to all Transactions (other than any Counterparty Fourth Floating Rate Payer Payment Date).  The obligations of the parties to make payments required to be made hereunder shall survive the Termination Date.

	 	 
	
Obligation Termination Date:

	
(a) In relation to any Repaid Obligation, the related Repayment Date; and

 

(b) In relation to any Terminated Obligation, the related Termination Settlement Date.

	 	 
	
Reference Portfolio:

	
As of any date of determination, all Reference Obligations with respect to all Transactions outstanding on such date.

 

Page 2

 

 

	
Reference Obligation:

	
Each obligation listed on Annex I as revised from time to time pursuant to this Confirmation having a Reference Amount equal to the "Reference Amount" indicated on Annex I for such obligation (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, having an Outstanding Principal Amount equal to the "Outstanding Principal Amount" indicated on Annex I for such Committed Obligation), in each case, subject to adjustment by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the terms of this Confirmation.  Each Reference Obligation shall be the subject of a Transaction hereunder.

	 	 
	  	
Counterparty may, by notice to Citibank on any Business Day on or after the Trade Date (each, an "Obligation Trade Date"), designate that any obligation (each, a "Reference Obligation") shall become the subject of a Transaction hereunder.  Any such notice shall specify the proposed Reference Obligation, Reference Entity, Reference Amount and Initial Price in relation to such Transaction.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such designation by Counterparty will be effective unless:

 

(a)  Citibank consents on or prior to the Obligation Trade Date to the relevant Reference Obligation becoming the subject of a Transaction hereunder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, with effect as set forth in the second and third succeeding paragraphs;

 

(b)  on the Obligation Trade Date (i) the relevant Reference Obligation satisfies the Obligation Criteria set forth in Annex II and (ii) the Portfolio Criteria set forth in Annex II are satisfied (or, if any Portfolio Criterion is not satisfied immediately prior to such designation, then the extent of compliance with such Portfolio Criterion is maintained or improved); and

 

(c)  if the relevant Reference Obligation would be a Specified Reference Obligation, Counterparty gives notice of such fact to Citibank in such notice of designation (provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such designation).

 

Page 3

 

 

	 	
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (a), Citibank may reasonably withhold its consent to any such designation based on any legal, accounting, tax or other similar issues that are adverse to Citibank in any material respect and that would or could reasonably be expected to arise as a result of the entry into such Transaction or any purchase by the Citibank Holder of such Reference Obligation as a hedge for such Transaction.  In the event that Citibank determines not to hold, or cause to be held, all or any portion of any such Reference Obligation as a hedge for the such Transaction on the Obligation Settlement Date for such Transaction, Citibank shall no later than the Obligation Trade Date give notice thereof to Counterparty.  In addition, Citibank will promptly respond to any notice from Counterparty requesting that Citibank identify whether Citibank is holding, or causing to be held, the relevant Reference Obligation as a hedge for one or more Transactions identified in such notice from Counterparty. 

 

The "Obligation Settlement Date" for a Transaction shall be the date following the Obligation Trade Date for such Transaction that is customary for settlement of the related Reference Obligation substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for the related Reference Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent).

 

On the Obligation Trade Date for a Transaction, the Reference Amount of such Transaction shall, for all purposes hereof other than calculating Rate Payments, be increased by the "Reference Amount" specified in such notice from Counterparty.  On the Obligation Settlement Date for a Transaction, the Reference Amount of such Transaction shall, solely for the purposes of calculating Rate Payments, be increased by the "Reference Amount" specified in such notice from Counterparty.

 

Once a Reference Obligation becomes the subject of a Transaction hereunder, Citibank shall promptly prepare and deliver to Counterparty a revised Annex I reflecting the Reference Portfolio as of the related Obligation Trade Date.

 

 

Page 4

 

 

	  	
If any payment of interest on a Reference Obligation that would otherwise be made during the period from and including the Obligation Trade Date to but excluding the Termination Trade Date is not made but is capitalized as additional principal (without default), then the amount of interest so capitalized as principal shall become a new Transaction hereunder (a "PIK Transaction") having the same terms and conditions as the Transaction relating to the Reference Obligation in respect of which such interest is capitalized, except that (1) the Initial Price in relation to such PIK Transaction shall be zero, (2) the Obligation Trade Date and Obligation Settlement Date for such PIK Transaction shall be the date on which such interest is capitalized and (3) the Reference Amount of such PIK Transaction will be the amount of interest so capitalized as principal. Citibank shall give notice to Counterparty after a PIK Transaction becomes outstanding as provided above, which notice shall set forth the information in the foregoing clauses (2) and (3).

	 	 
	
Reference Entity:

	
The borrower of the Reference Obligation identified as such in Annex I. In addition, "Reference Entity", unless the context otherwise requires, shall also refer to any guarantor of or other obligor on the Reference Obligation.

	 	 
	
Ramp-Up Period:

	
The period from and including the Amendment Effective Date and ending on and including the date occurring 90 days after the Amendment Effective Date.

	 	 
	
Ramp-Down Period:

	
The period from and including the date 90 days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date and ending on and including the Scheduled Termination Date.

	 	 
	
Portfolio Notional Amount:

	
As of any date of determination, the sum of the Notional Amounts for all Reference Obligations as of such date.

	 	 
	
Notional Amount:

	
(a) In relation to any Transaction (other than with respect to any Terminated Obligation or Repaid Obligation), as of any date of determination, the Reference Amount of the related Reference Obligation as of such date multiplied by the Initial Price in relation to such Reference Obligation; and

 

(b) In relation to any Transaction with respect to a Terminated Obligation or Repaid Obligation, the amount of the reduction in the Reference Amount of the related Reference Obligation determined, in the case of a Terminated Obligation, pursuant to Clause 3 or, in the case of a Repaid Obligation, pursuant to Clause 5, in each case multiplied by the Initial Price in relation to the related Reference Obligation.

 

Page 5

 

 

	
Outstanding Principal Amount:

	
In relation to any Reference Obligation as of any date of determination, the outstanding principal amount of such obligation as shown in the then current Annex I, as increased pursuant to this Clause 2 (or, in the case of any Committed Obligation, pursuant to any borrowing in respect of such Committed Obligation after the Obligation Settlement Date) and reduced pursuant to Clauses 3 and 5. Except as otherwise expressly provided below with respect to Counterparty First Floating Amounts, the principal amount of any Committed Obligation outstanding on any date shall include the aggregate stated face amount of all letters of credit, bankers' acceptances and other similar instruments issued in respect of such Committed Obligation to the extent that the holder of such Committed Obligation is obligated to extend credit in respect of any drawing or other similar payment thereunder.

	 	 
	
Commitment Amount:

	
In relation to any Reference Obligation that is a Committed Obligation (and the related Transaction) as of any date of determination, the maximum outstanding principal amount of such Reference Obligation that a registered holder thereof would on such date be obligated to fund (including all amounts previously funded and outstanding, whether or not such amounts, if repaid, may be reborrowed).

	 	 
	
Notional Funded Amount:

	
In relation to any Reference Obligation that is a Committed Obligation (and to the related Transaction) as of any date of determination, the greater of (a) zero and (b) the sum of (i) the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Reference Obligation as of the Obligation Trade Date multiplied by the Initial Price in relation to such Reference Obligation minus (ii) the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Commitment Amount of such Reference Obligation as of the Obligation Trade Date over the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Reference Obligation as of the Obligation Trade Date multiplied by (y) 100% minus the Initial Price in relation to such Reference Obligation plus (iii) any increase in the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Reference Obligation during the period from but excluding the Obligation Trade Date to and including such date of determination minus (iv) any decrease in the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Reference Obligation during the period from but excluding the Obligation Trade Date to and including such date of determination.

 

In relation to any Reference Obligation that is a Term Obligation (and the related Transaction) as of any date of determination, the Notional Amount of such Reference Obligation.

3.           Reference Obligation Removal; Accelerated Termination.

 

Reference Obligation Removal

 

(a)         A Transaction may be terminated in whole by either party (or in part by Counterparty) in accordance with this Clause 3 by the giving of notice (an "Accelerated Termination Notice") to the other party (each such termination, an "Accelerated Termination").

 

	
(i)

	
Counterparty shall be entitled to terminate any Transaction or any portion thereof by delivering an Accelerated Termination Notice to Citibank that is given (i) on the proposed Termination Trade Date and (ii) no more than 30 days prior to the proposed Termination Settlement Date; provided that, except in the case of the termination of all Transactions, the Net Collateral Value Percentage would be greater than or equal to the Termination Threshold (in each case, after giving effect to such termination). The Accelerated Termination Notice shall specify the Reference Obligation that is the subject of such Accelerated Termination, the amount of the Terminated Obligation, the proposed Termination Trade Date and the proposed Termination Settlement Date.

 

	
(ii)

	
Following the occurrence of a Credit Event (as determined by the Calculation Agent) with respect to the related Reference Entity (including any guarantor or other obligor referred to in the definition thereof), Citibank shall, at any time after the Obligation Trade Date for the Reference Obligation, be entitled to propose, by notice to Counterparty, an increased Independent Amount Percentage with respect to the related Transaction.  If Counterparty does not, by notice to Citibank within five Business Days after such notice from Citibank, agree to such increase, then Citibank may terminate the related Transaction by delivering an Accelerated Termination Notice to Counterparty that is given (i) on the Termination Trade Date and (ii) no fewer than 10 days prior to the proposed Termination Settlement Date. The Accelerated Termination Notice shall specify the Reference Obligation that is the subject of such Accelerated Termination, the amount of the Terminated Obligation, the Termination Trade Date and the Termination Settlement Date.

 

Page 15

 

 

Elective Termination by Citibank due to Certain Events

 

(b)        If:

 

	
  

	
(i)

	
any Reference Obligation (including any Exchange Consideration) fails to satisfy the Obligation Criteria at any time,

 

	
  

	
(ii)

	
the Portfolio Criteria (other than clause (v) thereof) are not satisfied at any time,

 

	
  

	
(iii)

	
Counterparty fails to perform when due any obligation to Transfer Eligible Collateral under Clause 9(a) or

 

	
  

	
(iv)

	
Counterparty does not, by the deadline specified therefor in Clause 9(e), effect the Transfer to Citibank as Secured Party of Eligible Collateral contemplated by Clause 9(e),

 

then Citibank may notify Counterparty in writing of such event. In the case of the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), if such event continues for 30 days following the delivery of such notice, then Citibank will have the right but not the obligation to terminate the related Transaction.  In the case of the foregoing clause (iii) or (iv), if such event continues for two Business Days following delivery of such notice, Citibank will have the right but not the obligation to terminate each Transaction that is the subject of this Confirmation. Citibank may exercise this termination right with respect to each Terminated Obligation by delivering an Accelerated Termination Notice to Counterparty that is given, as to any Terminated Obligation, (1) on the proposed Termination Trade Date and (2) no fewer than 10 days prior to the proposed Termination Settlement Date for the related Terminated Obligation. The Accelerated Termination Notice shall specify each Reference Obligation that is the subject of such Accelerated Termination and, with respect to each such Reference Obligation, the amount of the Terminated Obligation, the proposed Termination Trade Date and the proposed Termination Settlement Date.

 

Acceleration of Scheduled Termination Date by Citibank

 

(c)        Citibank will have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the Scheduled Termination Date to a Business Day occurring no earlier than the Citibank Call Date.  Any such acceleration shall be effected by giving notice to Counterparty on a Business Day occurring no fewer than 180 days prior to the Citibank Call Date, which notice shall specify the accelerated Scheduled Termination Date.

 

Early Termination Date under Master Agreement

 

(d)        If there is effectively designated an Early Termination Date under the Master Agreement, then (i) each Transaction will be terminated in its entirety, (ii) notwithstanding any contrary or otherwise inconsistent provision of the Master Agreement, the provisions set forth in Section 6(e) of the Master Agreement shall not apply to any Transaction (except that amounts that become due and payable on or prior to such Early Termination Date with respect to any Transaction as provided in this Confirmation will constitute Unpaid Amounts) and (iii) the Termination Trade Date for each Transaction will be the date specified by the Calculation Agent occurring on or promptly after such Early Termination Date; provided that, if such Early Termination Date is designated by reason of an Event of Default as to which Citibank is the Defaulting Party, Counterparty may specify the Termination Trade Date with respect to any Transaction as to which the Calculation Agent has not specified the Termination Trade Date within 10 days after such Early Termination Date. The Calculation Agent shall give notice (an "Accelerated Termination Notice") to each party (such termination, an "Accelerated Termination") on or prior to such Early Termination Date, which Accelerated Termination Notice shall specify each Reference Obligation that is the subject of such Accelerated Termination and, with respect to each such Reference Obligation, the amount of the Terminated Obligation, the proposed Termination Trade Date and the proposed Termination Settlement Date. The amount, if any, payable in respect of such Early Termination Date will be determined in accordance with Clause 4(a) or 4(b) of this Confirmation (as applicable) based upon the delivery of such Accelerated Termination Notice.

 

Page 16

 

 

Effect of Termination

 

(e)        With respect to any Transaction terminated in whole pursuant to this Clause 3, (i) as of the relevant Termination Trade Date the Reference Amount shall, for all purposes hereof other than calculating Rate Payments, be reduced to zero (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof shall be reduced to zero) and (ii) as of the relevant Termination Settlement Date the Reference Amount, for purposes of calculating Rate Payments, shall be reduced to zero (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof shall be reduced to zero). With respect to any Transaction terminated in part pursuant to this Clause 3, (i) as of the relevant Termination Trade Date the Reference Amount shall, for all purposes hereof other than calculating Rate Payments, be reduced by the amount of the reduction of the Reference Amount specified in the Accelerated Termination Notice (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, the Outstanding Principal Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the Outstanding Principal Amount in effect immediately prior to such reduction multiplied by the amount of the reduction of the Reference Amount divided by the Reference Amount in effect immediately prior to such reduction) and (ii) as of the relevant Termination Settlement Date the Reference Amount shall, for purposes of calculating Rate Payments, be reduced by the amount of the reduction of the Reference Amount specified in the Accelerated Termination Notice (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, the Outstanding Principal Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the Outstanding Principal Amount in effect immediately prior to such reduction multiplied by the amount of the reduction of the Reference Amount divided by the Reference Amount in effect immediately prior to such reduction). Following any Termination Trade Date (other than the Termination Trade Date in respect of the Termination Date), Citibank shall promptly prepare and deliver to Counterparty a revised Annex I.

 

4.           Final Price Determination

 

Following the termination of any Transaction in whole or in part pursuant to Clause 3 or by reason of the occurrence of the Scheduled Termination Date (other than in connection with a Repayment), the Final Price for the relevant Terminated Obligation will be determined in accordance with this Clause 4.

 

Determination by Counterparty

 

(a)        In order to determine the Final Price for any Terminated Obligation then held by or on behalf of Citibank as a hedge for the related Transaction (other than pursuant to Clause 3(a)(ii), 3(b) or, with respect to any Early Termination Date designated by reason of an Event of Default, Credit Event Upon Merger or Additional Termination Event as to which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or the sole Affected Party, 3(d)), Counterparty may arrange for the sale of such Terminated Obligation by giving notice of such sale to Citibank; provided that Counterparty shall have no right to arrange a sale of a Terminated Obligation pursuant to this Clause 4(a) if, as a result of such termination and the termination of all other Transactions as to which the Total Return Payment Date has not yet occurred, (i) the aggregate Value (as defined in the Credit Support Annex) of all Posted Credit Support (as so defined) held by Citibank as Secured Party (as so defined) plus the aggregate of all Citibank Floating Amounts payable in connection with such terminations would be less than (ii) the aggregate of all Counterparty Fifth Floating Amounts payable in connection with such terminations. Such notice must be given at least three Business Days prior to the related Termination Settlement Date in the case of any Terminated Obligation and at least 10 days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date if all Transactions are to be terminated in connection with the Scheduled Termination Date. Any sale (i) must be to an Approved Buyer or another buyer approved in advance by Citibank, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) must be scheduled to occur no later than the date customary for settlement, substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for such Terminated Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent), following the Termination Trade Date and prior to the Scheduled Termination Date if all Transactions are to be terminated in connection with the Scheduled Termination Date. If Counterparty so arranges any sale, the net cash proceeds received from the sale of any Terminated Obligation (exclusive of accrued interest), net of the related Costs of Assignment and adjusted by any Delay Compensation as provided in Clause 6(b), shall be the "Final Price" for that Terminated Obligation.

 

Page 17

 

 

Determination by Calculation Agent

 

(b)        If the Final Price for any Terminated Obligation is not determined according to Clause 4(a), the Calculation Agent shall attempt to obtain Firm Bids for such Terminated Obligation with respect to the applicable Termination Trade Date from two or more Dealers. The Calculation Agent will give Counterparty notice of its intention to obtain Firm Bids pursuant to this Clause 4(b) (such notice to be given telephonically and via electronic mail) not later than three hours prior to the bid submission deadline specified below. By notice to Citibank not later than the bid submission deadline specified below, Counterparty may, but shall not be obligated to, designate an Approved Buyer to provide a Firm Bid (and the Calculation Agent will seek a Firm Bid from such designee if so designated by Counterparty on a timely basis). A "Firm Bid" shall be a good and irrevocable bid for value, to purchase all or a portion of the applicable Terminated Obligation, expressed as a percentage of the Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation and exclusive of accrued interest, for scheduled settlement substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for such Terminated Obligation, as determined by the Calculation Agent, submitted as of 11 a.m. New York time or as soon as practicable thereafter. If there is more than one Terminated Obligation at any time, then the Calculation Agent shall obtain Firm Bids solely with respect to each separate Terminated Obligation (but not with respect to any group or groups of such Terminated Obligations). Citibank may, but is not obligated to, sell or cause the sale of any portion of any Terminated Obligation to any Dealer that provides a Firm Bid.

 

If the Calculation Agent is unable to obtain from Dealers at least one Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids for all of the Reference Amount of any Terminated Obligation with respect to the relevant Termination Trade Date, the Calculation Agent will attempt to obtain a Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids for all of the Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation from two or more Dealers until the earlier of (i) the second Business Day (inclusive) following such Termination Trade Date and (ii) the date a Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids is obtained for all of the Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation.

 

If the Calculation Agent is able to obtain at least one Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids for all or any portion of the Reference Amount of any Terminated Obligation, the Final Price for such Terminated Obligation or portion thereof shall be determined by reference to such Firm Bid or Firm Bids pursuant to the last paragraph of this Clause 4(b). If no Firm Bids are obtained on or before such second Business Day for all or a portion of the applicable Terminated Obligation, the Final Price shall be deemed to be zero with respect to each portion of such Terminated Obligation for which no Firm Bid was obtained. The Calculation Agent will conduct the bid process in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Clause 4(b) and otherwise in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. Other than in the case of a termination pursuant to Clause 3(d), Citibank and Counterparty will make commercially reasonable efforts to accomplish the assignment to Counterparty (free of payment by Counterparty) of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof held by or on behalf of Citibank as a hedge for the related Transaction for which the Final Price is deemed to be zero (including as provided below); provided that Citibank shall not be liable for any losses related to any delay in or failure of such assignment beyond its control.

 

Page 18

 

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,

 

	
(i)

	
the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to disregard any Firm Bid submitted by a Dealer if, in the Calculation Agent's commercially reasonable judgment, (x) such Dealer is ineligible to accept assignment or transfer of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for the Terminated Obligation, as determined by the Calculation Agent, or (y) as a result of the terms of any agreement or instrument governing the related Terminated Obligation or any order of a court of competent jurisdiction relating to such Terminated Obligation, such Dealer is prohibited or restricted from obtaining any consent required for the assignment or transfer of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, to it; and

 

	
(ii)

	
if the Calculation Agent determines that the highest Firm Bid obtained in connection with any Termination Trade Date is not bona fide as a result of (x) the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 5(a)(vii) with respect to the bidder, (y) the inability, failure or refusal of the bidder to settle the purchase of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, or otherwise settle transactions in the relevant market or perform its obligations generally or (z) the Calculation Agent not having pre-approved trading lines with the bidder that would permit settlement of the purchase of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable,

 

that Firm Bid shall be disregarded and the next highest Firm Bid that is not disregarded shall be used to determine the Final Price. If there is no such Firm Bid, then the Calculation Agent shall designate a new Termination Trade Date; provided that the Calculation Agent shall designate a new Termination Trade Date pursuant to this paragraph only once. If the highest Firm Bid for any portion of the related Terminated Obligation determined in connection with the second Termination Trade Date is disregarded pursuant to this paragraph, the Calculation Agent shall have no obligation to obtain further bids, and the applicable "Final Price" for the portion which was so disregarded shall be deemed to be zero.

 

If Citibank transfers, or causes the transfer of, all or any portion of the Terminated Obligation to the Dealer or Dealers providing the highest Firm Bid or highest combination of Firm Bids for such Terminated Obligation (or portion thereof) or to such other party as provided above, the net cash proceeds received from the sale of such Terminated Obligation or portion thereof (which sale shall be scheduled to settle substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for the related Reference Obligation as determined by the Calculation Agent), net of the related Costs of Assignment and adjusted by any Delay Compensation as provided in Clause 6(b), shall be the "Final Price" for that Terminated Obligation (or the portion thereof that is sold).

 

If Citibank has determined not to hold, or cause to be held, all or any portion of any Terminated Obligation as a hedge for the related Transaction or otherwise determines, in its sole discretion, not to sell or cause the sale of any portion of any Terminated Obligation to a Dealer providing the highest Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids, the "Final Price" for such Terminated Obligation or portion thereof shall be equal to the highest Firm Bid (or highest combination of Firm Bids) for such Terminated Obligation (or portion thereof) multiplied by the Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation (or the respective portions of the Reference Amount to which such Firm Bids relate). The Calculation Agent may perform any of its duties under this Clause 4(b) through any Affiliate designated by it, but no such designation shall relieve the Calculation Agent of its duties under this Clause 4(b).

 

Page 19

 

 

Early Termination of Facility

 

(c)        For the avoidance of doubt, if the Termination Date occurs prior to the Citibank Call Date, each Counterparty Second Floating Amount shall continue to be payable by Counterparty on each subsequent Second Floating Rate Payer Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Citibank Call Date; provided that, if either party shall so specify in writing to the other party prior to any final Termination Trade Date, then on such final Termination Trade Date (i) the obligation of Counterparty to continue to pay each Counterparty Second Floating Amount on each subsequent Second Floating Rate Payer Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Citibank Call Date shall terminate and be replaced by the obligation in the following clause and (ii) Counterparty shall pay to Citibank an amount equal to the present value (as calculated by the Calculation Agent with discounting on a continuous basis) of each Counterparty Second Floating Amount payable (without regard to the termination of such obligation under the foregoing clause) on each subsequent Second Floating Rate Payer Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Citibank Call Date, discounted to such final Termination Trade Date at a discount rate per annum equal to the Discount Rate.  For this purpose, the "Discount Rate" means the zero coupon swap rate (as determined by the Calculation Agent) implied by the fixed rate offered to be paid by Citibank under a fixed for floating interest rate swap transaction with a remaining Term equal to the period from such final Termination Trade Date to the final Second Floating Rate Payer Payment Date in exchange for the receipt of payments indexed to USD-LIBOR-BBA.

 

5.           Repayment.

 

If all or a portion of the Reference Amount of any Reference Obligation is repaid or otherwise reduced (in the case of a Committed Obligation, only if the Reference Amount thereof is permanently reduced) (including, without limitation, through any exercise of any right of set-off, reduction, or counterclaim that results in the satisfaction of the obligations of such Reference Entity to pay any principal owing in respect of such Reference Obligation) on or prior to the Scheduled Termination Date (the amount of such repayment or other reduction, a "Repayment"; the portion of the related Reference Obligation so repaid or otherwise reduced, a "Repaid Obligation"; and the date of such Repayment, the "Repayment Date"):

 

	
(a)

	
the Total Return Payment Date with respect to the Repaid Obligation will be the fifth Business Day next succeeding the last day of the Monthly Period in which the Repayment Date occurred;

 

	
(b)

	
as of the related Repayment Date, the Reference Amount of such Reference Obligation shall be decreased by an amount equal to the principal amount of the Repaid Obligation; and

 

	
(c)

	
the related Final Price in relation to the Repaid Obligation shall be (i) in the case of a Committed Obligation, the portion of the Reference Amount that is permanently reduced on such Repayment Date and (ii) in the case of a Term Obligation, the amount of principal and premium in respect of principal paid by such Reference Entity on the Repaid Obligation to holders thereof (or the amount by which the Reference Obligation was otherwise reduced) on such Repayment Date. Following any Repayment Date, Citibank shall promptly prepare and deliver to Counterparty a revised Annex I showing the revised Reference Amount for the related Reference Obligation.

 

6.           Adjustments.

 

(a)        If any Reference Obligation or portion thereof is irreversibly converted or exchanged into or for any securities, obligations, cash or other assets or property ("Exchange Consideration"), thereafter such Exchange Consideration will constitute such Reference Obligation or portion thereof, and, unless Citibank shall otherwise agree in writing, (i) if such Exchange Consideration fails to satisfy the Obligation Criteria, then Clause 3(b)(i) shall apply and (ii) if the Portfolio Criteria (other than clause (v) thereof) set forth in Annex II would not be satisfied after giving effect to such exchange, then Clause 3(b)(ii) shall apply.

 

Page 20

 

 

(b)        Delay Compensation (as defined below) shall result in an adjustment (i) as contemplated by the definition of "Interest and Fee Amount" in connection with the establishment by the Citibank Holder of a related hedge in respect of a Transaction, if the actual settlement of the purchase of the related hedge occurs after the Obligation Settlement Date and (ii) of a Final Price with respect to a Terminated Obligation in connection with the termination by the Citibank Holder of a related hedge, if the actual settlement of the sale of the related hedge occurs after the Termination Settlement Date. "Delay Compensation" shall accrue (x) in the case of clause (i) above, from and including the Obligation Settlement Date to but excluding the actual settlement of the purchase effected to establish the related hedge (and, during such period, (A) the Counterparty First Floating Amount shall be calculated by reference to the Spread and not the Floating Rate Option and (B) Interest and Fee Amounts will be determined without regard to payments in respect of the interest rate index, but will be determined inclusive of the applicable spread above such interest rate index, used in the Reference Obligation Credit Agreement to calculate interest payments in respect of the related Reference Obligation and in effect during such period) and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, from and including the Termination Settlement Date to but excluding the actual settlement of the sale effected to terminate the related hedge (and, during such period, (A) the Counterparty First Floating Amount shall be calculated by reference to the Floating Rate Option and not the Spread and (B) Interest and Fee Amounts shall be reduced by interest accrued during such period in excess of the interest rate index used in the Reference Obligation Credit Agreement to calculate interest payments in respect of the related Reference Obligation and in effect during such period). In connection with any adjustment by reason of Delay Compensation, (i) any initial Payment Date in this Confirmation determined by reference to the "Obligation Settlement Date" shall be determined as if the Obligation Settlement Date were the actual settlement of the purchase of the related hedge and (ii) any final Payment Date in this Confirmation determined by reference to the "Termination Settlement Date" shall be determined as if the Termination Settlement Date were the actual settlement of the termination of the related hedge.

 

(c)        If (i) Citibank elects to establish a hedge as a result of the addition or increase in the Reference Amount of any Reference Obligation that is the subject of a Transaction and (ii) the Citibank Holder is unable after using commercially reasonable efforts to effect the settlement of such hedge, then, by notice to Counterparty, Citibank may in its sole discretion, specify that such addition or increase in the Reference Amount of such Reference Obligation will not be effective.

 

7.           Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

 

(a)        Each party hereby agrees as follows, so long as either party has or may have any obligation under any Transaction:

 

	
(i)

	
Non-Reliance. It is acting for its own account, and it has made its own independent decisions to enter into such Transaction and as to whether such Transaction is appropriate or proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary. It is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of the other party as investment advice or as a recommendation to enter into such Transaction; it being understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of such Transaction shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to enter into such Transaction. It has not received from the other party any assurance or guarantee as to the expected results of such Transaction;

 

	
(ii)

	
Evaluation and Understanding. It is capable of evaluating and understanding (on its own behalf or through independent professional advice), and understands and accepts, the terms, conditions and risks of such Transaction. It is also capable of assuming, and assumes, the financial and other risks of such Transaction;

 

Page 21

 

 

	
(iii)

	
Status of Parties. The other party is not acting as a fiduciary or an advisor for it in respect of such Transaction; and

 

	
(iv)

	
Reliance on its Own Advisors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in making its decision to enter into, and thereafter to maintain, administer or terminate, such Transaction, it will not rely on any communication from the other party as, and it has not received any representation or other communication from the other party constituting, legal, accounting, business or tax advice, and it will consult its own legal, accounting, business and tax advisors concerning the consequences of such Transaction.

 

(b)        Each party acknowledges and agrees that, so long as either party has or may have any obligation under any Transaction:

 

	
(i)

	
such Transaction does not create any direct or indirect obligation of any Reference Entity or any direct or indirect participation in any Reference Obligation or any other obligation of any Reference Entity;

 

	
(ii)

	
each party and its Affiliates may deal in any Reference Obligation and may accept deposits from, make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of commercial or investment banking or other business with any Reference Entity, any Affiliate of any Reference Entity, any other person or entity having obligations relating to any Reference Entity and may act with respect to such business in the same manner as if such Transaction did not exist and may originate, purchase, sell, hold or trade, and may exercise consensual or remedial rights in respect of, obligations, securities or other financial instruments of, issued by or linked to any Reference Entity, regardless of whether any such action might have an adverse effect on such Reference Entity, the value of the related Reference Obligation or the position of the other party to such Transaction or otherwise;

 

	
(iii)

	
except as provided in Clause 7(d)(iii), each party and its Affiliates and the Calculation Agent may, whether by virtue of the types of relationships described herein or otherwise, at the date hereof or at any time hereafter, be in possession of information regarding any Reference Entity or any Affiliate of any Reference Entity that is or may be material in the context of such Transaction and that may or may not be publicly available or known to the other party. In addition, except as provided in Clause 7(b)(vii), this Confirmation does not create any obligation on the part of such party and its Affiliates to disclose to the other party any such relationship or information (whether or not confidential);

 

	
(iv)

	
neither Citibank nor any of its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to hedge such Transaction or to own or hold any Reference Obligation as a result of such Transaction, and Citibank and its Affiliates may establish, maintain, modify, terminate or re-establish any hedge position or any methodology for hedging at any time without regard to Counterparty. Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that it is not relying on any representation, warranty or statement by Citibank or any of its Affiliates as to whether, at what times, in what manner or by what method Citibank or any of its Affiliates may engage in any hedging activities;

 

	
(v)

	
notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation or any other document, Citibank and Counterparty (and each employee, representative, or other agent of Citibank or Counterparty) may each disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to them relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure (as those terms are used in Treasury Regulations under Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws. To the extent not inconsistent with the previous sentence, Citibank and Counterparty will each keep confidential (except as required by law) all information unless the other party has consented in writing to the disclosure of such information;

 

Page 22

 

 

	
(vi)

	
if Citibank chooses to hold a Reference Obligation as a result of any Transaction, Citibank shall hold such Reference Obligation directly or through an Affiliate (the "Citibank Holder"). The Citibank Holder may deal with such Reference Obligation as if the related Transaction did not exist, provided that, so long as the Citibank Holder remains the lender of record with respect to such Reference Obligation, upon any occasion permitting the Citibank Holder to exercise any right in relation to such Reference Obligation to give or withhold consent (an "Election") to an action proposed to be taken (or to be refrained from being taken), the Citibank Holder shall, insofar as permitted under (x) applicable laws, rules and regulations and (y) each provision of any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing such Reference Obligation (and, in the case of any participation interest, governing such participation interest), give its consent to the action proposed to be taken (or to be refrained from being taken), unless (A) Counterparty, by timely notice to Citibank, requests (a "Counterparty Election Request") that the Citibank Holder withhold such consent and (B) the Citibank Holder, in its sole discretion, elects to withhold such consent in accordance with the Counterparty Election Request. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (1) the Citibank Holder shall have no obligation to respond to, or consult with Counterparty in relation to, a Counterparty Election Request (failure to respond to a Counterparty Election Request being deemed a denial); (2) the Citibank Holder shall have no other duties or obligations to Counterparty of any nature with respect to any Election or any Counterparty Election Request; (3) the Citibank Holder shall not be liable to Counterparty or any of its Affiliates for the consequences of any consent given or withheld by the Citibank Holder in connection with such Reference Obligation (whether or not pursuant to a Counterparty Election Request); and (4) if the Citibank Holder elects in its sole discretion to withhold its consent in accordance with a Counterparty Election Request, the Citibank Holder may subsequently determine to give such consent at any time without notice to Counterparty; and

 

	
(vii)

	
in connection with each Reference Obligation that is held by a Citibank Holder as a result of any Transaction, the Citibank Holder will promptly (and in any event within one Business Day after receipt) deliver or cause to be delivered to Counterparty the following information and documentation, in each case, to the extent actually received by the Citibank Holder from the Reference Entity or its agents under the related Reference Obligation Credit Agreement: all notices of any borrowings, prepayments and interest rate settings, all amendments, waivers, tenders, exchanges and other modifications (whether final or proposed) in relation to the terms of the Reference Obligation; and all notices given by the Reference Entity to the lenders or their agent or by the lenders or their agent to the Reference Entity in relation to the exercise of remedies.

 

(c)        Each of the parties hereby represents that, on each date on which a Transaction is entered into hereunder:

 

	
(i)

	
it is entering into such Transaction for investment, financial intermediation, hedging or other commercial purposes; and

 

	
(ii)

	
(x) it is an "eligible contract participant" as defined in Section 1a of the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the "CEA"), (y) the Master Agreement and each Transaction are subject to individual negotiation by each party, and (z) neither the Master Agreement nor any Transaction will be executed or traded on a "trading facility" within the meaning of Section 1a of the CEA.

 

Page 23

 

 

(d)        Counterparty hereby represents to Citibank that:

 

	
(i)

	
its financial condition is such that it has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in any Transaction and no need to dispose of any portion thereof to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or indebtedness. Its investments in and liabilities in respect of any Transaction, which it understands is not readily marketable, are not disproportionate to its net worth, and it is able to bear any loss in connection with any Transaction, including the loss of its entire investment in such Transaction;

 

	
(ii)

	
it understands that no obligations of Citibank to it hereunder will be entitled to the benefit of deposit insurance and that such obligations will not be guaranteed by any Affiliate of Citibank or any governmental agency;

 

	(iii)	  it is not an Affiliate of any Reference Entity;

 

	
(iv)

	
as of (x) the relevant Obligation Trade Date and (y) any date on which a sale is effected pursuant to Clause 4(a) or on which the Calculation Agent solicits Firm Bids pursuant to Clause 4(b), neither Counterparty nor any of its Affiliates, whether by virtue of the types of relationships described herein or otherwise, is on such date in possession of information regarding any related Reference Entity or any Affiliate of such Reference Entity that is or may be material in the context of such Transaction or the purchase or sale of any related Reference Obligation unless such information either (x) is publicly available or (y) has been made available to each registered owner of such Reference Obligation on a basis that permits such registered owner to disclose such information to any assignee of or participant (whether on a funded or unfunded basis) in, or any prospective assignee of or participant (whether on a funded or unfunded basis) in, any rights or obligations under the related Reference Obligation Credit Agreement;

 

	
(v)

	
it is a wholly owned subsidiary of CĪON Investment Corporation, a Maryland corporation (the "Sole Owner"), and the Sole Owner is a corporation that has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company for U.S. Federal income tax purposes;

 

	
(vi)

	
it has delivered to Citibank on or prior to the date hereof (and it will, prior to any expiration of any such form previously so delivered, deliver to Citibank) a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) with respect to the Sole Owner (indicating that Counterparty is a disregarded entity of the Sole Owner), properly completed and signed (which representation shall also be made for purposes of Section 3(f) of the Master Agreement);

 

	
(vii)

	
it could have received all payments on the Reference Obligation without U.S. Federal or foreign witholding tax if it owned the Reference Obligation (which representation shall also be made for purposes of Section 3(f) of the Master Agreement); and 

 

	
(viii)

	
for U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the Sole Owner is neither a tax-exempt organization nor a pass-through entity.

 

Page 24

 

 

(e)        Except for disclosure authorized pursuant to Clause 7(b)(v), Counterparty agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of the related Reference Obligation Credit Agreement with respect to all information and documentation in relation to a Reference Entity or a Reference Obligation delivered to Counterparty hereunder. Counterparty acknowledges that such information may include material non-public information concerning the Reference Entity or its securities and agrees to use such information in accordance with applicable law, including Federal and State securities laws.

 

(f)        Section 2(c)(ii) of the Master Agreement shall not apply to the Transactions to which this Confirmation relates. Multiple Transaction Payment Netting under Section 2(c) of the Master Agreement will apply to the Transactions to which this Confirmation relates.

 

(g)        Notwithstanding anything in the Master Agreement to the contrary, Citibank will not be required to pay any additional amount under Section 2(d)(i) of the Master Agreement in respect of any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax in relation to any payment under any Transaction that is determined by reference to interest or fees payable with respect to any Reference Obligation. If Citibank is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax in relation to any payment under any Transaction that is determined by reference to interest or fees payable with respect to any Reference Obligation and Citibank does not so deduct or withhold, then Section 2(d)(ii) of the Master Agreement shall be applicable.

 

8.           Adjustments Relating to Certain Unpaid or Rescinded Payments.

 

(a)        If (i) Citibank makes any payment to Counterparty as provided under Clause 2 and the corresponding Interest and Fee Amount is not paid (in whole or in part) when due or (ii) any Interest and Fee Amount in respect of a Reference Obligation is required to be returned (in whole or in part) by a holder of such Reference Obligation (including, without limitation, the Citibank Holder) to the applicable Reference Entity or paid to any other person or entity or is otherwise rescinded pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law or any other applicable law, then Counterparty will pay to Citibank, upon request by Citibank, such amount (or portion thereof) so not paid or so required to be returned, paid or otherwise rescinded. If such returned, paid or otherwise rescinded amount is subsequently paid, Citibank shall pay such amount (subject to Clause 8(c)) to Counterparty within five Business Days after the date of such subsequent payment.

 

(b)        If, with respect to any Repaid Obligation, the corresponding payment of principal of the Repaid Obligation is required to be returned (in whole or in part) by a holder thereof (including, without limitation, the Citibank Holder) to the applicable Reference Entity or paid to any other person or entity or is otherwise rescinded pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law or any other applicable law, then (i) the parties hereto shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall continue as though no Repayment had occurred and (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if either party has made a payment to the other party in respect of Capital Appreciation or Capital Depreciation related to such Repayment as provided under Clause 2, then the party that received the payment in respect of such Capital Appreciation or Capital Depreciation, as applicable, shall repay such amount (subject to Clause 8(c)) to the other party. If such returned, paid or otherwise rescinded amount is subsequently paid by the related Reference Entity or any such other person or entity, then the relevant party shall pay the amount of such Capital Appreciation or Capital Depreciation, as applicable, within five Business Days after the date of such subsequent payment.

 

Page 25

 

 

(c)        Amounts payable pursuant to this Clause 8 shall be subject to adjustment by the Calculation Agent in good faith and on a commercially reasonable basis, as agreed by Citibank and Counterparty, in order to preserve for the parties the intended economic risks and benefits of the relevant Transaction.

 

(d)        The payment obligations of Citibank and Counterparty pursuant to this Clause 8 shall survive the termination of all Transactions.

 

9.           Credit Support.

 

Notwithstanding anything in the Credit Support Annex (the "Credit Support Annex") to the Schedule to the Master Agreement to the contrary, the following collateral terms shall apply to each Transaction to which this Confirmation relates (capitalized terms used in this Clause 9 but not otherwise defined in this Confirmation have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Credit Support Annex):

 

	
(a)

	
With respect to each Transaction to which this Confirmation relates, an "Independent Amount" shall be applicable to Counterparty on each date of determination in an amount equal to the Notional Amount of such Transaction on such date of determination multiplied by the relevant Independent Amount Percentage (determined in accordance with the table set forth below).

 

	 	
Condition

	
Independent Amount Percentage

	 	
(i) Except as provided in clause (iii) below, with respect to any Transaction not relating to a Specified Reference Obligation

	
25%

	 	
(ii) Except as provided in clause (iii) below, with respect to any Transaction relating to a Specified Reference Obligation 

	Such percentage as Citibank shall specify on or prior to the Obligation Trade Date for such Transaction 
	 	
(iii) With respect to any Reference Obligation whose Independent Amount Percentage is agreed in writing as provided in Clause 3(a)(ii)

	
Such Independent Amount Percentage as is agreed in writing as provided in Clause 3(a)(ii)

 

	
  

	
Not later than (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date of any increase in the Independent Amount Percentage applicable to any Transaction, Counterparty as Pledgor will Transfer to Citibank as Secured Party Eligible Collateral having a Value as of the date of Transfer equal to the related Independent Amount (or increase in the related Independent Amount) determined pursuant this Clause 9(a).

 

	
(b)

	
In no event shall Citibank as Secured Party be obligated to Transfer Posted Credit Support in respect of a Return Amount to Counterparty as Pledgor if the Value as of any Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held by Citibank as Secured Party would be less than the Independent Amount determined pursuant to Clause 9(a).

 

Page 26

 

 

	
(c)

	
In no event shall Counterparty as a Secured Party have any positive "Exposure" to Citibank with respect to the Transactions to which this Confirmation relates.

 

	
(d)

	
Without limiting Clause 3(b)(iv), in no event shall Citibank as a Secured Party shall have any positive "Exposure" to Counterparty with respect to the Transactions to which this Confirmation relates.

 

	
(e)

	
If (i) the Net Collateral Value Percentage on any Valuation Date is less than the Termination Threshold on such Valuation Date and (ii) Citibank gives notice thereof to Counterparty on any Business Day, Counterparty will, not later than the close of business on the Business Day following the date of such notice from Citibank, effect the Transfer to Citibank as Secured Party of Eligible Collateral such that the Net Collateral Value Percentage after giving effect to such Transfer is at least equal to the Cure Threshold.  In addition, Counterparty may, on any Business Day, effect the Transfer to Citibank as Secured Party of any additional Eligible Collateral.

 

	
(f)

	
If Counterparty enters into any Transaction under the Master Agreement other than the Transactions contemplated by this Confirmation (each, a "Separate Transaction"), then the Credit Support Amount with respect to Counterparty as Pledgor shall never be less than the "Credit Support Amount" with respect to Counterparty as Pledgor calculated (i) solely with reference to all Separate Transactions and (ii) without regard to the Independent Amount applicable to Counterparty as Pledgor under this Confirmation.

 

	
(g)

	
Each Business Day shall be a Valuation Date.

For purposes of the foregoing, a "private rating" shall refer to a rating obtained by Citibank, by Counterparty or by or on behalf of an obligor on a Reference Obligation that is not disseminated publicly; whereas a "shadow rating" shall refer to a credit estimate obtained upon application of Counterparty or a holder of a Reference Obligation. Any private rating or shadow rating shall be required to be refreshed annually. If Counterparty applies to Moody's for a shadow rating or public rating of a Reference Obligation, Counterparty shall provide evidence to Citibank of such application and shall notify Citibank of the expected rating. Counterparty shall notify Citibank of the shadow rating or public rating assigned by Moody's to a Reference Obligation.
