Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 3, the Borrower shall in no event be obliged to make any payments of interest or other amounts payable to the Lender hereunder in excess of an amount or rate which would be prohibited by law or would result in the receipt by the Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)).

	
3.7
	
Interest Calculation

	
 
	
(a)
	
Interest:  The principal amount outstanding from time to time hereunder, as to the Loan, shall bear interest at 6.65%.  If there is not a Government of Canada Bond with an equivalent term to that of the Loan, the yield on equivalent term bonds will be calculated as the interpolated mid-market semi-annual yield to maturity between the two Government of Canada bonds nearest the Maturity Date, one being prior to and the other being after the Maturity Date per annum, calculated and payable monthly in accordance with this section.

	
 
	
(b)
	
Interest shall be calculated and payable monthly on the daily outstanding principal, and shall accrue both after and before maturity, default and judgment, with interest on overdue interest at the same rate computed from the date of each Advance calculated and payable monthly, in arrears, by 1:00 p.m. (EST) on the fifteenth (15th) day of each and every month in each and every year during the term commencing on the 15th day of the month next following the date of the Advance. 

	
3.8
	
Increased Costs, Capital Adequacy, etc. 

	
 
	
(a)
	
If any change in Applicable Law:

	
 
	
(i)
	
subjects the Lender to any cost or Tax or changes the basis of Taxation of payments due to the Lender or increases any existing cost or Tax on payments of principal, interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender under this Agreement (except for increased Taxes on the overall net income, assets or capital of the Lender);

 

- 29 -

 

	
 
	
(ii)
	
imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit, regulatory or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of, or any other acquisition of funds for loans by, the Lender or any drafts accepted by the Lender;

	
 
	
(iii)
	
imposes on the Lender a change in the manner in which the Lender is required to allocate capital resources to its obligations under this Agreement; or

	
 
	
(iv)
	
imposes on the Lender any other cost, Tax or condition with respect to this Agreement,

and the result of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) is, in the determination of the Lender, acting reasonably, to increase the cost to the Lender, or to impose a liability on or to reduce the income or return receivable by the Lender in respect of this Agreement, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender that amount which indemnifies the Lender for such additional cost, liability or reduction in income or return (“Additional Compensation”).  Upon the Lender having determined that it is entitled to Additional Compensation, it shall within ten (10) Business Days of becoming aware of such Additional Compensation promptly notify the Borrower.  A certificate by a duly authorized officer of the Lender setting forth the amount of the Additional Compensation and the basis for it shall be prima facie evidence, in the absence of manifest error, of the amount of the Additional Compensation.  The Additional Compensation shall accrue from the date of delivery of the certificate to the Borrower.  If the Lender subsequently recovers all or a part thereof, it will repay an amount equal to such recovery to the Borrower.  For greater certainty, it is acknowledged that, if such increased cost, liability or reduction in income or return is also applicable, in part, to dealings between the Lender and its other customers, the obligation of the Borrower under this section to provide compensation therefor will not arise unless the Lender, as a general practice, also requires compensation therefor from such other customers and will not exceed the amount that is directly proportionate to the extent to which such increased costs, liabilities or reductions in income or return are attributable to the Borrower and the Loan made by the Lender hereunder.  

	
 
	
(b)
	
If the Lender notifies the Borrower that Additional Compensation is owed to the Lender pursuant to Section 3.8(a), the Borrower shall have the right to make payment in full to the Lender in respect of the Loan within 30 days of the date specified of such notice, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon to the date of repayment and all other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the termination, together with the Accelerated Amount provided that in such circumstances the Additional Compensation shall not be payable as to any period of time after such repayment.

	
3.9
	
Taxes

The following shall apply as to Taxes payable:

	
 
	
(a)
	
Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Obligors hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes; provided that if the Obligor(s) shall be required to deduct any Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable 

 

- 30 -

 

	
 
		
Obligor(s) shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable Obligor(s) shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.  

	
 
	
(b)
	
In addition, the Borrower shall pay any such Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.  

	
 
	
(c)
	
The Obligors shall jointly and severally indemnify the Lender, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any such Taxes paid by the Lender, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lender, shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error.

	
 
	
(d)
	
As soon as practicable after any payment of any such Taxes by the Obligors to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.  

	
3.10
	
Prepayment

	
 
	
(a)
	
Voluntary Prepayment.  Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Borrower is permitted to prepay the Loan in whole, but not in part, at any time, provided that the Borrower gives to the Lender thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, and at the time the Borrower makes prepayment pursuant to this section, the Borrower shall also pay to the Lender the Interest Rate Differential, if any and if positive.

	
 
	
(b)
	
Mandatory Prepayment.  Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, in the event that the Borrower makes any mandatory prepayment under the Loan, whether in an Event of Default, on demand, or recalculation or otherwise, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender the Interest Rate Differential, if any and if positive.

	
3.11
	
Place and Manner of Payment

The Borrower shall pay to the Lender, the principal and interest due at or before 1:00 p.m. on the date on which such principal and interest is due at 20 Adelaide Street East, Suite 1500, Toronto, Ontario, or such other address as the Lender may advise from time to time by preauthorized chequing authority, and the Borrower will enter into any agreement and issue any payment instruction required to make payment on a direct pre-authorized debit from the Borrower’s account basis.  The receipt of funds shall satisfy and discharge the liability for the principal and interest to the extent of the sums represented thereby, unless such payment shall for any reason be reversed, stopped or otherwise not made as full and final, in which case the payment will be replaced immediately on notice from the Lender.  

	
3.12
	
No Set-Off

The obligations of the Borrower to make all payments of principal and interest and all other amounts due hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including without limitation, any set-off, compensation, counter-claim, recoupment, defence or other right which the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person may have against the Lender or anyone else for any reason whatsoever.

 

- 31 -

 

	
3.13
	
Interest on Overdue Amounts 

If the Borrower fails to pay any installment of interest or principal on the date on which the same is due, the Borrower shall pay interest on such overdue amount at the rate of interest under this Agreement then in effect. At any time, upon and during the continuance of a default in the payment of any other amount (other than principal and interest) due under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall pay interest on such overdue amount (which overdue amount, for greater certainty, shall not include overdue principal or interest) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate of interest under this Agreement then in effect plus 2%.  Interest on overdue amounts shall be payable on demand and shall be calculated on a daily basis and compounded monthly from the date such amount becomes due and payable and for so long as such amount remains unpaid and on the basis of a year of 365 days.  All interest provided for in this Agreement shall be payable both before and after maturity, default and judgment.

	
3.14
	
Fee

A commitment fee was paid by the Borrower to the Lender of one percent (1%) of the principal amount of the Loan or $100,000.00 on the date of the Advance.

(c)
	
If at any time the Borrower owns, establishes or acquires a Subsidiary that is wholly owned by the Borrower directly or indirectly, the Borrower shall immediately cause that Subsidiary to become an Obligor, adopt this Agreement by delivering an agreement in the form of Schedule “D” so as to be bound by all of the terms applicable to Obligors as if it had executed this Agreement as an Obligor, and deliver a guarantee and indemnity and other security documents required to comply with Section 4.1(b), which shall become part of the Security.

whenever necessary or desirable, including in the case of a change of name of an Obligor or change in location of Property, arrange to renew or amend existing registrations, filings and recordings and make additional registrations, filings and recordings and take other actions as are necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection of the Security and to ensure it remains as valid and effective with the priority required by this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement; and

(ii)
	
Cash Collateral.  Any Cash Collateral may be invested, at the Lender’s discretion (and with the consent of the U.S. Obligor, as long as no Event of Default exists), but the Lender shall have no duty to do so, regardless of any agreement or course of dealing with any U.S. Obligor, and shall have no responsibility for any investment or loss.

Article 8 
ENFORCEMENT OF SECURITY

	
8.1
	
Remedies

Whenever the Security has become enforceable, but subject to the provisions hereof and subject in all respects to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement:

	
 
	
(a)
	
the Lender may proceed to enforce its rights by any action, suit, remedy or proceeding authorized or permitted by law or by equity, and may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have its claims lodged in any bankruptcy, winding-up or other judicial proceeding relative to any Obligor;

	
 
	
(b)
	
the Lender may enter into and upon and take possession of all or any part of the Collateral, with full power to carry on, manage and conduct the business and operations of the Obligors, including the power to borrow monies or advance its own monies for the purpose of such business operations, the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral or any part thereof, the payment of Taxes, wages and other charges ranking in priority to the Indebtedness and operating expenses.  The Lender shall specifically have the right to exercise the rights and remedies of the Obligors under any joint venture, limited partnership, trust or equivalent agreement or arrangement.  The monies so borrowed or advanced shall be repaid by the Obligors on demand and until repaid with interest thereon at the rate per annum provided in Section 3.7 hereunder calculated monthly, in arrears, shall be paid in priority to the Indebtedness and shall be secured by the Security.  The Lender shall have the right to demand and to receive the revenues, incomes, issues and profits of the Collateral and to pay therefrom all of its expenses, charges and advances in carrying on the business operations or otherwise, of the Obligors, and the payment of all Taxes, assessments and other charges against the Collateral ranking in priority to the Indebtedness, or payment of which may be necessary to preserve the Collateral, and to apply the remainder of the monies so received in accordance with the provisions hereof;

	
 
	
(c)
	
the Lender may, either after entry as provided herein, or without any entry, and with or without possession or control of the Collateral sell and dispose of all the Collateral, either as a whole or in separate parcels at public auction, by tender, or by private contract at such time and on such terms and conditions, having first given such notice of the time and place of such sale, as it may think proper.  The Lender may make such sale whether by auction, tender or private contract, either for cash, upon credit, or in exchange for bonds, mortgages, stocks or other securities of another Person, or any combination thereof upon such reasonable conditions as to terms of payment as it may deem proper, and upon any such sale, shall be obliged to account to the Obligors only in relation to monies actually received and only at the time of receipt.  It shall be lawful for the Lender to rescind or vary any Contract of sale that may have been entered into, and resell with or under any of the powers conferred herein, to adjourn any such sale from time to time, and to execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers of the said Collateral, or any part thereof, good and sufficient deed or deeds for the same, the Lender being hereby irrevocably constituted an attorney of each Obligor for the purpose thereof, any such sale made as aforesaid shall be a perpetual bar both in law and equity against each Obligor and its assigns and all other Persons claiming the said Collateral or any part or parcel thereof, by, from, through, or under each Obligor or its assigns, and the proceeds of any such sale shall be distributed in the manner hereinafter provided; 

 

- 53 -

 

	
 
	
(d)
	
the Lender or any agent or representative thereof, may become the purchaser at any sale of the Collateral whether made under the power of sale herein contained, pursuant to foreclosure, or other judicial proceedings; and

	
 
	
(e)
	
with respect to any U.S.-based Obligors, exercise any other rights or remedies afforded under the UCC.  Such rights and remedies include the rights to (i) take possession of any Collateral; (ii) require such Obligors to assemble Collateral, at Obligors’ expense, and make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender; (iii) enter any premises where Collateral is located and store Collateral on such premises until sold (and if the premises are owned or leased by any such Obligor, such Obligors agree not to charge for such storage); and (iv) sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral in its then condition, or after any further manufacturing or processing thereof, at public or private sale, with such notice as may be required by Applicable Law, in lots or in bulk, at such locations, all as Lender, in its discretion, deems advisable.  Each such Obligor agrees that 10 days’ notice of any proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral by Lender shall be reasonable, and that any sale conducted on the internet or to a licensor of Intellectual Property shall be commercially reasonable.  Lender may conduct sales on any Obligor’s premises, without charge, and any sales may be adjourned from time to time in accordance with Applicable Law.  Lender shall have the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and Lender may purchase any Collateral at public or, if permitted by Applicable Law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, may credit bid and set off the amount of such price against the Obligations.

	
8.2
	
Remedies Not Prejudiced by Delay

No delay or omission of the Lender to exercise any remedy shall impair any such remedy, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default hereunder or under the Security, or acquiescence therein.

	
8.3
	
Yield Possession

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Obligors shall yield possession of the Collateral and the conduct of the business in connection therewith to the Lender and agree to put no obstacles in the way of, but to facilitate by all legal means, the actions of the Lender hereunder, and not to interfere with the carrying out of the powers hereby granted to it.  Each Obligor shall forthwith, by and through its officers and directors, at any time upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, and upon request in writing by the Lender, execute such documents and transfers as may be necessary to place the Lender in legal possession of the Collateral and its business in connection therewith, and thereupon all the powers and functions, rights and privileges of each and every of its directors and officers shall cease with respect to the possession of the Collateral, unless specifically continued in writing by the Lender, or unless the Collateral shall have been restored to the Obligors.

	
8.4
	
Lender Entitled to Perform Covenants

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Lender may, in its discretion, perform any of the covenants of the Obligors capable of being performed by the Lender, and if any such covenant requires the payment or expenditure of money, the Lender may make payments or expenditure with its own funds, or with money borrowed by or advanced to it for such purpose, but shall be under no obligation to do so, and all sums so expended or advanced shall be at once payable by the Borrower on demand, shall bear interest at the rate of twelve per cent (12%) per annum, calculated and payable monthly, in arrears, until paid, and shall be payable out of any funds coming into the possession of the 

 

- 54 -

 

Lender in priority to the Indebtedness, but no such performance or payment shall be deemed to relieve any Obligor from any Event of Default hereunder. 

	
8.5
	
The Lender as Lender and Power of Attorney

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, and written notification by the Lender, each Obligor hereby irrevocably appoints the Lender to be its attorney, and in its name and on its behalf, to execute and carry out any deeds, documents, transfers, conveyances, assignments, assurances, consents and things which such Obligor ought to, or may, sign, execute and do hereunder, and generally to use its name in the exercise of all or any of the powers hereby conferred on the Lender, with full power of substitution and revocation.  Such appointment is coupled with an interest.  In the exercise of all of its rights hereunder, the Lender shall be, so far as concerns responsibility for its action or inaction, the agent of the Obligors. 

	
8.6
	
For the Protection of the Lender

In realizing upon the Collateral, the Lender shall not be responsible for any loss occasioned by any demand, collection, enforcement, sale or other realization thereof, or the failure to, or delay in, demand, collect, enforce or sell any portion, and the Lender shall not be bound to protect the Collateral from depreciating in value.  Upon any sale or realization of the Collateral by way of public auction, the Lender may become purchaser free from any right or equity of redemption, which right or equity is expressly waived by the Obligors and the Lender may, in paying the purchase price, apply so much of the obligations of the Obligors hereunder on account of the purchase price as may be necessary for such purpose.

	
8.7
	
Charges for Late Payment

Notwithstanding any waiver or enforcement of an Event of Default hereunder, the Borrower acknowledges that the Lender shall be paid interest on overdue interest at the applicable rate set out in Section 3.7 and the sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($250.00) in each instance, to compensate for costs, penalties or expenses caused to the Lender arising as a result of any payment made after its due date hereunder.

7

 

 

other Claimholders represented by it for distribution by such Representative in accordance with its respective Documents; and

(iii)THIRD, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the application pursuant to preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to the Grantors, their successors or assigns from time to time, or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.

For purposes of Section 2.1(a)(ii), in determining the unpaid principal amount of the Obligations, there shall be included an amount equal to the issued but undrawn face amount of any letter of credit outstanding at the time, provided that any money otherwise payable to any Claimholder in respect of any such undrawn face amount shall not be paid by the applicable Representative for such Claimholder but shall be retained by the Representative in a separate account designated “Letter of Credit Subaccount,” and shall be payable to such Claimholder only when unreimbursed drawings occur under the respective letters of credit; provided further that to the extent any such letter of credit shall be canceled or terminated without a drawing in respect of any portion of the respective undrawn stated amount thereof in respect of which amounts have previously been paid into the “Letter of Credit Subaccount,” the money so paid into the “Letter of Credit Subaccount” shall be withdrawn by the applicable Representative and applied in the manner otherwise provided above in this Section 2.1(a).

(b)If any Grantor shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Bankruptcy Law and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law) or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law), each Claimholder (other than any Controlling Claimholder or any Representative of any Controlling Claimholder) agrees that it will not raise any objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, unless a Representative of the Controlling Claimholders shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Claimholders, each Non-Controlling Claimholder will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Claimholders (other than any Liens of any Claimholders constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the Obligations held by the Controlling Claimholders, each Non-Controlling Claimholder will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Claimholders retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other Claimholders (other than any Liens of the Claimholders constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the Claimholders are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any Claimholders as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-à-vis the Claimholders as set forth in this Agreement (other than any Liens of any Claimholders constituting DIP Financing Liens), (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement, and (D) if any Claimholders are granted adequate protection with respect to the Obligations subject hereto, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection are applied pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of this Agreement; provided that the Claimholders shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the Claimholders or their Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral; provided, further, that the Claimholders receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Claimholder receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such Claimholders in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.

(c)If any Claimholder is granted adequate protection (A) in the form of Liens on any additional collateral, then each other Claimholder shall be entitled to seek, and each Claimholder will consent and not object to, adequate protection in the form of Liens on such additional collateral with the same priority vis-à-vis the Claimholders as set forth in this Agreement, (B) in the form of a superpriority 

12

 

 

or other administrative claim, then each other Claimholder shall be entitled to seek, and each Claimholder will consent and not object to, adequate protection in the form of a pari passu superpriority or administrative claim or (C) in the form of periodic or other cash payments, then the proceeds of such adequate protection must be applied to all Obligations pursuant to Section 2.1.

Section 2.6Reinstatement.  In the event that any of the Obligations shall be paid in full and such payment or any part thereof shall subsequently, for whatever reason (including an order or judgment for disgorgement of a preference under Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar law, or the settlement of any claim in respect thereof), be required to be returned or repaid, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be fully applicable thereto until all such Obligations shall again have been paid in full in cash.  This Section 2.6 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Section 2.7Insurance and Condemnation Awards.  As among the Claimholders, the Controlling Representative shall have the right, but not the obligation, to adjust or settle any insurance policy or claim covering or constituting Shared Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and to approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Shared Collateral.  To the extent any other Claimholder receives proceeds of such insurance policy in such capacity and such proceeds are not permitted or required to be returned to any Grantor under the applicable Documents, such proceeds shall be turned over to the Controlling Representative for application as provided in Section 2.1 hereof.

Section 2.8[Reserved].

Section 2.9Gratuitous Bailee/Agent for Perfection.

(a)The Controlling Representative shall be entitled to hold any Possessory Collateral constituting Shared Collateral.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Representative agrees to hold any Possessory Collateral constituting Shared Collateral and any other Shared Collateral from time to time in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as gratuitous bailee for the benefit of each other Claimholder (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) and any assignee, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Shared Collateral, if any, pursuant to the applicable Collateral Documents, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.9.  Solely with respect to any Deposit Accounts constituting Shared Collateral under the control (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of any Representative, each such Representative agrees to also hold control over such Deposit Accounts as gratuitous agent for each other Claimholder and any assignee solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest in such Deposit Accounts, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.9.

(c)No Representative shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Claimholder to ensure that the Possessory Collateral and Control Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.9.  The duties or responsibilities of each Representative under this Section 2.9 shall be limited solely to holding any Possessory Collateral constituting Shared Collateral or any other Shared Collateral in its possession or control as gratuitous bailee (and with respect to Deposit Accounts, as gratuitous agent) in accordance with this Section 2.9 and delivering the Possessory Collateral constituting Shared Collateral as provided in Section 2.9(e) below.

(d)None of the Representative or any of the Claimholders shall have by reason of the Documents, this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the other 

13

 

 

Representatives or any other Claimholder, and each Representative and each Claimholder hereby waives and releases the other Representatives and Claimholders from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to any Representative’s role under this Section 2.9 as gratuitous bailee with respect to the Possessory Collateral constituting Shared Collateral or any other Shared Collateral in its possession or control (and with respect to the Deposit Accounts, as gratuitous agent).

(e)At any time the Controlling Representative is no longer the Controlling Representative, such outgoing Controlling Representative shall deliver the remaining Possessory Collateral constituting Shared Collateral in its possession (if any) together with any necessary endorsements (which endorsement shall be without recourse and without any representation or warranty), first, to the then Controlling Representative to the extent Obligations remain outstanding and second, to the applicable Grantor to the extent no Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Shared Collateral) or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same.  The outgoing Controlling Representative further agrees to take all other action reasonably requested by the then Controlling Representative at the expense of the Company in connection with the then Controlling Representative obtaining a first-priority security interest in the Shared Collateral.

Section 2.10Amendments to Collateral Documents.

(a)Without the prior written consent of each other Representative, each Representative agrees that no Collateral Document may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented, replaced or Refinanced or otherwise modified from time to time or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement, Refinancing or modification, or the terms of any new Collateral Document, would be prohibited by, or would require any Grantor to act or refrain from acting in a manner that would violate, any of the terms of this Agreement.

(b)In determining whether an amendment to any Collateral Document is permitted by this Section 2.10, each Representative may conclusively rely on an officer’s certificate of the Company stating that such amendment is permitted by this Section 2.10.

Article III.

EXISTENCE AND AMOUNTS OF LIENS AND OBLIGATIONS

Whenever any Controlling Representative shall be required, in connection with the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to determine the existence or amount of any Obligations, or the Shared Collateral subject to any Lien securing the Obligations, it may request that such information be furnished to it in writing by each other Representative and shall be entitled to make such determination or not make any determination on the basis of the information so furnished; provided, however, that if a Representative shall fail or refuse reasonably promptly to provide the requested information, the requesting Controlling Representative shall be entitled to make any such determination or not make any determination by such method as it may, in the exercise of its good faith judgment, determine, including by reliance upon a certificate of the Company.  Each Controlling Representative may rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any determination made by it in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence (or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction) and shall have no liability to any Grantor, any Claimholder or any other person as a result of such determination.

Article IV.

THE CONTROLLING REPRESENTATIVE

Section 4.1Authority.

(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed to impose any fiduciary or other duty on any Controlling Representative to any Non-Controlling Claimholder or give any Non-Controlling Claimholder the right to direct any Controlling Representative, except that each Controlling Representative shall be obligated to distribute proceeds of any Shared Collateral in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof.

(b)In furtherance of the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Claimholder acknowledges and agrees that the Controlling Representative shall be entitled, for the benefit of the Claimholders, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of or deal with any Shared Collateral as provided herein and in the Collateral Documents, as applicable, without regard to any rights to which the Non-Controlling Claimholders would otherwise be entitled as a result of the Obligations held by such Non-Controlling Claimholders.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Non-Controlling Claimholder agrees that none of the Controlling Representative or any other Claimholder shall have any duty or obligation first to marshal or realize upon any type of Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any of the Obligations), or to sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Shared Collateral (or any other Collateral securing any Obligations), in any manner that would maximize the return to the Non-Controlling Claimholders, notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received by the Non-Controlling Claimholders from such realization, sale, disposition or liquidation.  Each of the Claimholders waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against any Representative of any other Obligations or any other Claimholder arising out of (i) any actions which any such Representative or any Claimholder represented by it take or omit to take (including actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Obligations from any account debtor, guarantor or any other party) in accordance with the Collateral Documents or any other agreement related thereto or in connection with the collection of the Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for the Obligations; provided that nothing in this clause (i) shall be construed to prevent or impair the rights of any Representative to enforce this Agreement, (ii) any election by any Controlling Representative or any holders of Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code (or any other Bankruptcy Law), of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law) or (iii) subject to Section 2.5, any borrowing, or grant of a security interest or administrative expense priority under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision of any other Bankruptcy Law) or any equivalent provision of any other Bankruptcy Law, by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as debtor-in-possession. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Controlling Representative shall not (i) accept any Shared Collateral in full or partial satisfaction of any Obligations pursuant to Section 9-620 of the UCC of any jurisdiction or the PPSA of any jurisdiction, without the consent of each Representative representing holders of Obligations for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral or (ii) “credit bid” for or purchase (other than for cash) Shared Collateral at any public, private or judicial foreclosure upon such Shared Collateral, without the consent of each Representative representing holders of Obligations for whom such Collateral constitutes Shared Collateral.

Section 4.2Power-of-Attorney.  Each Non-Controlling Representative, for itself and on behalf of each other Claimholder for whom it is acting, hereby irrevocably appoints the Controlling Representative and any officer or agent of the Controlling Representative, which appointment is coupled 

15

 

 

with an interest with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Non-Controlling Representative or Claimholder, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including the exercise of any and all remedies under each Collateral Document with respect to Shared Collateral and the execution of releases in connection therewith.

Section 5.20Purchase Option. 

	
(a)
	
If (i) the Controlling Claimholders have directed the Controlling Representative to exercise rights and remedies on behalf of the Controlling Claimholders under the applicable Documents, which exercise of rights and remedies the Non-Controlling Claimholders object to or (ii) the Non-Controlling Representative or Non-Controlling Claimholders have directed the Controlling Representative to exercise rights and remedies on behalf of the Non-Controlling Representative or Non-Controlling Claimholders, which exercise of rights and remedies the Controlling Claimholders object to, and such impasse between the Controlling Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Non-Controlling Representative and the Non-Controlling Claimholders, on the other hand, continues for a period of ten (10) consecutive Business Days (a “Purchase Event”), then any one or more of the Controlling Claimholders (acting in their individual capacity or through one or more affiliates) shall have the right (the “Purchase Option”), but not the obligation (each Controlling Claimholder having a ratable right to make the purchase, with each 

20

 

 

		
Controlling Claimholder’s right to purchase being automatically proportionately increased by the amount not purchased by another Controlling Claimholder) within the timeframes provided in Section 5.20(b) below, but not afterwards, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Obligations held by the Non-Controlling Claimholders (the “Purchase Obligations”).  Such purchase will (1) include all Obligations held by the Non-Controlling Claimholders outstanding at the time of purchase, (2) be made pursuant to one or more “assignment and assumption agreements” (each an “Assignment Agreement”) reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, whereby the purchasing Controlling Claimholders will assume all obligations of the Non-Controlling Claimholders under each of the applicable Documents, and (3) otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.20.  The Non-Controlling Representative and each Non-Controlling Claimholder will retain all rights to indemnification provided in the relevant Documents for all claims and other amounts relating to facts and circumstances in periods prior to the purchase of such Obligations pursuant to this Section 5.20.  Not later than sixty (60) days following the occurrence of a Purchase Event, the Controlling Representative may deliver written notice to the Non-Controlling Representative that states that it is exercising the Purchase Option, provided that failure by the Controlling Representative to send such notice shall not subject the Controlling Representative or any Controlling Claimholder to liability or constitute a default or cause a forfeiture of any rights for failing to give such notice or create any claim or right on behalf of any third party.

(b)(i)The Controlling Claimholders desiring to purchase all of the Purchase Obligations (the “Purchasing Claimholders”) will deliver a written notice (the “Purchase Exercise Notice”) to the Non-Controlling Representative that (A) is signed by the Purchasing Claimholders, (B) states that it is a Purchase Exercise Notice under this Section 5.20, (C) states that each Purchasing Claimholder is irrevocably electing to purchase, in accordance with this Section 5.20, the percentage of all of the Purchase Obligations stated in the Purchase Exercise Notice for that Purchasing Claimholder, which percentages must aggregate exactly 100% for all Purchasing Claimholders, and (E) designates a purchase date (the “Purchase Date”) on which the purchase will occur that is not more than fifteen (15) days after the Non-Controlling Representative’s receipt of the Purchase Exercise Notice.  At the Non-Controlling Representative’s election, in its sole discretion, a Purchase Exercise Notice will be ineffective if it is received by the Non-Controlling Representative after the event giving rise to the Purchase Event is waived, cured, or otherwise ceases to exist.

(ii) Upon the Non-Controlling Representative’s receipt of an effective Purchase Exercise Notice conforming to Section 5.20(b)(i), the Purchasing Claimholders will be irrevocably obligated to purchase, and the Non-Controlling Claimholders will be irrevocably obligated to sell, the Obligations held by such Non-Controlling Claimholders in accordance with and subject to this Section 5.20.

(c)The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Purchase Obligations will equal the sum of, without duplication, (i) the principal amount of all loans, advances, or similar extensions of credit included in the Purchase Obligations, and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the Purchase Date, (ii) all accrued and unpaid fees, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses, including those incurred by the Non-Controlling Representative or any Non-Controlling Claimholder in connection with the Purchasing Claimholders’ exercise under this Section 5.20), indemnities, and other amounts owed to the Non-Controlling Representative or any Non-Controlling Claimholder under the applicable Documents on the Purchase Date, and (iii) the amount of all other Obligations outstanding under the Documents applicable to the Non-Controlling Representative or Non-Controlling Claimholders on the Purchase Date, including, without limitation, the Interest Rate Differential provided for under the terms of each of the Term Loan Agreements. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Claimholders to the bank account designated by the Non-Controlling Representative are received in such bank account prior to 2:00 p.m., New York time, and interest shall be calculated to and 

21

 

 

including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Claimholders to the bank account designated by the Non-Controlling Representative are received in such bank account later than 2:00 p.m., New York time.

(d)On the Purchase Date, (i) the Purchasing Claimholders will execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement (ii) the Purchasing Claimholders will pay the Purchase Price to the Non-Controlling Representative by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account of the Non-Controlling Representative as the Non-Controlling Representative may designate in writing to the Controlling Representative for such purpose and (iii) to the extent not already terminated or extinguished, all commitments on the part of the Non-Controlling Claimholders to fund loans or provide other financial accommodations to the Company under the Documents applicable to the Non-Controlling Claimholders shall be terminated and extinguished without any further action by or notice to any Person.

(e)The Non-Controlling Representative will be entitled to rely on the statements, representations, and warranties in the Purchase Exercise Notice without investigation, even if the Non-Controlling Representative is notified that any such statement, representation, or warranty is not or may not be true.

(f)The purchase and sale of the Purchase Obligations under this Section 5.20 will be without recourse and without any representation or warranty whatsoever by the Non-Controlling Claimholders, except that the Non-Controlling Claimholders shall represent and warrant that on the Purchase Date, immediately before giving effect to the purchase, (i) that the amount of the Obligations held by such Non-Controlling Claimholder being purchased from it is as set forth in the applicable Assignment Agreement, (ii) the Non-Controlling Claimholder owns the Obligations to be purchased free and clear of any Liens and (ii) the Non-Controlling Claimholder has the right to assign such Obligations and the assignment is duly authorized by the Non-Controlling Claimholder.
