WHEREAS, to effect the Exchange, the Holder will surrender the Existing Holder Warrants in exchange for New Warrants in a manner expected to be exempt from  registration under United States securities laws pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); and

 

WHEREAS, concurrently with or subsequent to the Exchange, the Issuer proposes to exchange the Existing Notes for a combination of the Issuer’s Floating Rate Series A Secured Notes due 2017, to be issued under an indenture between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as trustee, and cash considerations (collectively, the “Note Exchange”).

2.              Consent.  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6 below and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 7 below, Agent and Lenders hereby consent to the consummation of the Speed Merger pursuant to the terms of the Speed Merger Agreement.

(g)            FILO Amount.  For purposes of calculating interest and determining the Base Rate Margin or the LIBOR Rate Margin applicable to any Advance, Advances will be deemed predicated first, on the FILO Amount of the Borrowing Base, and second, on the other components of the Borrowing Base.

The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Speed Merger Documents has been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Borrower, Speed Merger Sub and Speed Target.  Each Speed Merger Document is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, Speed Merger Sub and Speed Target, enforceable against Borrower, Speed Merger Sub and Speed Target, in accordance with its terms, in each case, except (i) as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors' rights and (ii) the availability of the remedy of specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.  None of Borrower, Speed Merger Sub nor Speed Target is in default in the performance or compliance with any provisions thereof.

To Borrower's knowledge, none of the representations or warranties of Speed Target or any of the SFC Equityholders in the Speed Merger Documents contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in any case that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
