Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05, but subject to Applicable Law, any overdue principal of and overdue Interest on the Notes shall bear interest, payable on demand in immediately available funds, for each day from the date payment thereof was due to the date of actual payment, at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the Interest Rate and (ii) an additional two percent (2%) per annum, and, upon and during the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Notes shall bear interest, from the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default until such Event of Default is cured or waived, payable on demand in immediately available funds, at a rate equal to the sum of (i) the Interest Rate, and (ii) an additional two percent (2%) per annum. Subject to Applicable Law, any interest that shall accrue on overdue interest on the Notes as provided in the preceding sentence and shall not have been paid in full on or before the next Interest Payment Date to occur after the date on which the overdue interest became due and payable shall itself be deemed to be overdue interest to which the preceding sentence shall apply.

(d) No Usurious Interest. In the event that any interest rate(s) or premiums provided for in this Section 2.05 or otherwise in this Agreement, shall be determined to be unlawful, such interest rate(s) shall be computed at the highest rate permitted by Applicable Law. Any payment by the Loan Parties of any interest amount in excess of that permitted by Applicable Law shall be considered a mistake, with the excess being applied to the principal amount of the Notes without prepayment premium or penalty; if no such principal amount is outstanding, such excess shall be returned to the Loan Parties.

(e) AHYDO. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2, if (1) the loans evidenced by the Notes remain outstanding after the fifth anniversary of the initial issuance thereof and (2) the aggregate amount of the accrued but unpaid interest on such loans (including any amounts treated as interest for federal income tax purposes, such as “original issue discount”) as of any Testing Date occurring after such fifth anniversary exceeds an amount equal to the Maximum Accrual, then all such accrued but unpaid interest on such loans (including any amounts treated as interest for federal income tax purposes, such as “original issue discount”) as of such time in excess of an amount equal to the Maximum Accrual shall be paid in cash by the Borrower to the holders thereof on such Testing Date, it being the intent of the parties hereto that the deductibility of interest under such loans shall not be limited or deferred by reason of Section 163(i) of the Code. For these purposes, the “Maximum Accrual” is an amount equal to the product of the issue price of such loans (as defined in Code Sections 1273(b) and 1274(a)) and their yield to maturity, and a “Testing Date” is any Interest Payment Date and the date on which any “accrual period” (within the meaning of Section 1272(a)(5) of the Code) closes. Any accrued interest which for any reason has not theretofore been paid shall be paid in full on the date on which the final principal payment on such loans is made.

(f) SBA Cost of Money Limitation. The sum of (i) the Interest Rate paid by the Loan Parties to the Lenders and (ii) all other consideration paid by the Loan Parties to the Lenders pursuant to the Notes and any other provision of this Agreement that constitutes Cost of Money, shall not exceed, with respect to any Lender that is an SBIC, the ceiling for the Cost of Money that is applicable to the Notes pursuant to SBA Regulations. Any payment to a Lender that is an SBIC of default interest pursuant to Section 2.06(c), Mandatory Redemption Price or other consideration pursuant to this Agreement that results in the Cost of Money for the Notes being in excess of the applicable ceiling for the Cost of Money for the Notes shall be considered an error and shall be returned to the Loan Parties.

SECTION 3

Each Loan Party hereby authorizes the filing of any financing statements or continuation statements, and amendments to financing statements or any similar document in any applicable jurisdictions and with any filing offices as Agent may determine are necessary or advisable to perfect the security interest granted to Agent for its benefit and the benefit of each Lender herein. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or a description of collateral that describes such property in any other manner as Agent may determine is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the security interest in the Collateral granted to Agent for its benefit and the benefit of each Lender herein, including describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.” All actual, out-of-pocket charges, expenses and fees Agent may incur in doing any of the foregoing, and any local taxes relating thereto, shall be added to the Obligations, or, at Agent’s option, shall be paid by each Loan Party to Agent immediately upon demand.

Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs all accountants and auditors employed by each Loan Party at any time to exhibit and deliver to Agent copies of any of each Loan Party’s financial statements, trial balances or other accounting records of any sort in the accountant’s or auditor’s possession (other than work papers and other proprietary information of such accountants and auditors), and to disclose to Agent any information such accountants may have concerning each Loan Party’s financial status and business operations. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes all Governmental Authorities to furnish to Agent copies of material reports or examinations relating to each Loan Party; however, Agent will attempt to obtain such information or materials directly from each Loan Party prior to obtaining such information or materials from such accountants or Governmental Bodies.

Agent shall not, under any circumstances or in any event whatsoever, have any liability for any error or omission or delay of any kind occurring in the settlement, collection or payment of any of the Accounts or any instrument received in payment thereof, or for any damage resulting therefrom except as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may, without notice or consent from each Loan Party, ▇▇▇ upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or upon any terms any of the Accounts or any other securities, instruments or insurance applicable thereto and/or release any Loan Party thereof. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent is authorized and empowered to accept the return of the goods represented by any of the Accounts, without notice to or consent by each Loan Party, all without discharging or in any way affecting each Loan Party’s liability hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all amounts collected or received by the Agent on account of the Notes or any other amounts outstanding under any of the Loan Documents or in respect of the Collateral may, at Agent’s discretion, or shall, at the direction of the Requisite Lenders, be paid over or delivered as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the Agent in connection with enforcing its rights and the rights of the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;

SECOND, to the payment of any fees owed to the Agent;

THIRD, to the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of each of the Lenders to the extent owing to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

(e) FCC Licenses; PUC Licenses; Related Collateral

(i) Agent’s rights hereunder (and the rights of any receiver appointed by reason of the exercise of remedies hereunder) with respect to the FCC Licenses and the PUC Licenses and any Collateral subject to such FCC Licenses and PUC Licenses, are expressly subject to, and limited by any obligations and/or restrictions imposed by, the Communications Law. Borrower agrees to, and to cause each Loan Party and Subsidiary of a Loan Party, to take any action which Agent may request in order to obtain and enjoy the full rights and benefits granted to Agent by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the use of its best efforts to assist in obtaining Consent of the FCC or any PUC for any action or transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Documents which Consent is then required by Law.

(ii) Prior to the exercise by Agent (or any receiver appointed by reason of the exercise of remedies hereunder) of any power, rights, privilege, or remedy pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document which requires any Consent of the FCC or any PUC, Borrower will, and will cause each Loan Party and Subsidiary of a Loan Party, at the request of Agent, execute and deliver, or cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates, instruments, and other documents and papers that Agent determines may be required to obtain such Consent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each such Loan Party or Subsidiary will promptly upon request by Agent (or any such receiver so appointed) execute and deliver the appropriate portions of applications to the FCC or PUC for its Consent to the assignment of or the direct or indirect transfer of control of the FCC Licenses and PUC Licenses issued to such Loan Party or Subsidiary and/or any Collateral subject to such FCC Licenses and PUC Licenses and use its best efforts, upon the request of Agent (or any receiver so appointed) to assist in obtaining from the FCC or PUC the necessary Consent, if any, for the assignment of or the direct or indirect transfer of control of such FCC Licenses, such PUC Licenses, and any Collateral subject to the such FCC Licenses or PUC Licenses to Agent or its designee upon or following an Event of Default.

(iii) If any Loan Party or Subsidiary shall refuse to prepare, execute or file any such application or portion thereof within three (3) Business Days of being requested to do so by Agent, any court of competent jurisdiction may (1) direct such Loan Party or Subsidiary to provide such information to the receiver or the court, as the case may be, as will permit the filing of the application and (2) authorize the clerk of the court or any other designee of the court to prepare, execute and file any such application or portion thereof on behalf of such Loan Party or Subsidiary. Borrower acknowledges, and will cause each Loan Party to acknowledge, that the assignment of the FCC Licenses and the PUC Licenses, or change of control over any Loan Party or Subsidiary, is integral to Agent’s realization of the value of their Collateral, that there is no adequate remedy at Law for failure by any Loan Party to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.02(e), and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore, agree that the agreements contained in this Section 8.02(e) may be specifically enforced.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document but without waiving or limiting any obligations of any Loan Party or Subsidiary hereunder, neither Agent nor any receiver appointed by reason of the exercise of remedies hereunder shall control, supervise, direct, or manage, or attempt to control, supervise, direct, or manage, the business of any Loan Party or Subsidiary, in any case that would constitute or result in any assignment of any FCC License or PUC License or any Collateral subject to such FCC Licenses or PUC Licenses, or a direct or indirect transfer of control of any Loan Party or Subsidiary, any FCC License or any PUC License, whether de jure or de facto, if such assignment or such direct or indirect transfer of control would require under the Communications Law, the prior Consent of the FCC or any PUC without first obtaining such Consent.

SECTION 9

In connection with the obligation of the Loan Parties to indemnify for expenses as set forth above, each Loan Party further agrees, upon presentation of appropriate invoices containing reasonable detail, to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all such expenses (including fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel and costs of investigation incurred by an Indemnified Party in any action or proceeding between any Loan Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) and such Indemnified Party (or Indemnified Parties) or between an Indemnified Party (or Indemnified Parties) and any third party or otherwise) as they are incurred by such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if an Indemnified Party is reimbursed hereunder for any expenses, such reimbursement of expenses shall be refunded to the extent it is finally judicially determined that the Liabilities in question resulted primarily from (i) the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party or (ii) the breach by such Indemnified Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement of such Indemnified Party contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document. This Section 9.01 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-tax claim.

9.02 Procedure; Notification. Each Indemnified Party under this Section 9 will, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action, investigation, claim or other proceeding against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Loan Parties under this Section 9, notify the Loan Parties in writing of the commencement thereof. The omission of any Indemnified Party so to notify the Loan Parties of any such action shall not relieve the Loan Parties from any liability which they may have to such Indemnified Party unless, and only to the extent that, such omission results in the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses of the Loan Parties. In case any such action, claim or other proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Loan Parties of the commencement thereof, the Loan Parties shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof at their own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided, however, that, if the Loan Parties have assumed the defense of any such action, claim or other proceeding, any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any action, claim or proceeding in which the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, is, or is reasonably likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Loan Parties and to control its own defense of such action, claim or proceeding if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate representation advisable; provided, however, that in no event shall the Loan Parties be required to pay fees and expenses under this Section 9 for more than one firm of attorneys in any jurisdiction in any one legal action or group of related legal actions. Each Loan Party agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Lenders, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Lenders and each other Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding. Neither any Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be liable for any settlement of any claim, action or proceeding effected against an Indemnified Party without their written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The rights accorded to Indemnified Parties hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise.

9.03 Survival. The obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 9 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and payment in full of the Notes.

SECTION 10

GUARANTEE

10.01 The Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee, as a primary obligor and not as a surety to each Lender and Agent and their respective successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal amount of and Interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of the United States Code) on the Notes and all other obligations from time to time owing to such Lender and Agent by the Borrower under any Loan Document, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guarantors’ Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Borrower shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guarantors’ Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guarantors’ Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise and after giving effect to any applicable notice or cure period) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

10.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 9.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and not of collection and, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guarantors’ Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guarantors’ Obligations and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guarantors’ Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

(iii) the maturity of any of the Guarantors’ Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guarantors’ Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guarantors’ Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(iv) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, as security for any of the Guarantors’ Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower under this Agreement or the Notes, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guarantors’ Obligations. The Guarantors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guarantors’ Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by upon the guarantee provided under this Section 10 (the “Guarantee”) or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guarantors’ Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between any Loan Party and any Lender or Agent shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guarantors’ Obligations at any time or from time to time held by any Lender or Agent, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by such Lender or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against any Loan Party or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guarantors’ Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefore or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of each Lender, Agent and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guarantors’ Obligations outstanding.

10.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 10 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party in respect of the Guarantors’ Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guarantors’ Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

10.04 Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guarantors’ Obligations under this Agreement it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 10.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against any Loan Party or any security for any of the Guarantors’ Obligations.

10.05 Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that if the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes are declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in the Notes (or shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in the Notes) for purposes of Section 10.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower such obligations (whether or not due and payable by any Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 10.01.

10.06 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 10 is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guarantors’ Obligations whenever arising.

10.07 General Limitation on Guarantors’ Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 10.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 10.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

SECTION 11

PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS

11.01 Optional Prepayment. The Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount (together with accrued Interest) on the Notes as follows:

(a) The Borrower may, at its option, at any time upon notice given to Agent as provided in Section 11.01(b), unless such notice is waived by the Requisite Lenders, prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of any of the Notes, by payment to the Lenders, of an amount equal to the redemption prices (the “Optional Redemption Prices”) set forth below (expressed as a percentage of the outstanding principal amount being prepaid, from time to time) together with Interest accrued and unpaid on the principal amount of the Notes so prepaid through the date fixed for such prepayment, and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel), if any, associated with such prepayment; provided, however, that each payment of less than the full outstanding balance of the principal amount of the Notes shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $250,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof. If such prepayment is to be made by the Borrower to the Lenders during any Loan Year set forth below, the Optional Redemption Price shall be determined based upon the percentage indicated below for such Loan Year multiplied by the principal amount which is being prepaid:

Loan Year	Optional Redemption Price
1		104	%
2		103	%
Thereafter		100	%

(b) The Borrower shall give written notice of prepayment of the Notes pursuant to this Section 11.01 not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Such notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 11.01 shall be given in the manner specified in Section 14.02 of this Agreement. Upon notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section 11.01 being given by the Borrower, the Borrower covenants and agrees that it will prepay, on the date therein fixed for prepayment, the Notes or the portion thereof so called for prepayment, at the applicable Optional Redemption Price set forth above with respect to the principal amount or the portion thereof so called for prepayment, together with Interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the date fixed for such prepayment, and the costs and expenses referred to in Section 11.01(a).

(c) Any optional prepayment under this Section 11.01 shall include payment of accrued Interest on the principal amount of the Notes so prepaid and shall be applied first to all costs, expenses and indemnities payable under this Agreement, then to payment of default interest, if any, then to accrued but unpaid Interest, if any, and thereafter to the principal amount.

11.02 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Liquidity Event. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Event (as hereinafter defined), the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal amount of all Notes in accordance with the redemption prices (the “Mandatory Redemption Prices”) set forth below (expressed as a percentage of the outstanding principal amount being prepaid), together with Interest accrued and unpaid on the outstanding principal amount of the Notes so prepaid through the date of such prepayment and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel), if any, associated with such prepayment. If a Liquidity Event shall occur during any Loan Year set forth below, the Mandatory Redemption Price shall be determined based upon the percentage indicated below for such Loan Year multiplied by the principal amount which is being prepaid. For the purposes hereof, “Liquidity Event” means (i) the occurrence of a Change of Control, or (ii) the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Parent or Borrower or of one or more of Parent’s Subsidiaries that, individually or in the aggregate, constitute a material part of the business, operations or assets of the Loan Parties and all of their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

Loan Year	Mandatory Redemption Price
1		104	%
2		103	%
Thereafter		100	%

(b) Notice. The Borrower shall give written notice to the Agent of any mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 11.02(a) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Such notice shall be given in the manner specified in Section 14.02 of this Agreement.

11.03 Scheduled Payments. The principal amount of the Notes shall be paid in full, together with accrued and unpaid Interest, on the Maturity Date.

11.04 Application of Payments.

(a) Upon any payment or prepayment of any Series of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the principal amount so paid or prepaid shall be allocated to all Notes of such Series at the time outstanding pro rata (based upon the proportion of the respective outstanding principal amount of such Series of Notes) until such Series of Notes has been paid in full.

(b) Payments of the principal amount of each Note to each Lender shall be made to the same account and in the same manner as provided in Section 2.06(a).

SECTION 12

REGARDING AGENT

12.01 Appointment. Each Lender hereby designates Fund III to act as Agent for such Lender under this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees, charges and collections received pursuant to this Agreement, for itself and for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including collection of the Notes) Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or, if applicable pursuant to Section 11.04, the holders of 100% of the Notes), and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Loan Documents or any Requirement of Law unless Agent is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to Agent with respect thereto.

12.02 Nature of Duties. Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment), or (ii) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any officer of any of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Loan Documents or for any failure of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to perform its obligations hereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries. The duties of Agent as respects payments or collections shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein.

12.03 Lack of Reliance on Agent and Resignation.

(a) Independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, each Lender has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries in connection with the purchase of any Securities hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the purchase of any Securities or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms hereof. Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Loan Document, or of the financial condition of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Notes, the Loan Documents or the financial condition of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.

(b) Agent may resign on thirty (30) days’ written notice to each Lender and upon such resignation, the Requisite Lenders will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to the Loan Parties (provided that the consent of the Loan Parties shall not be required after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default).

(c) Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. After any Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 12 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

12.04 Certain Rights of Agent. If Agent shall request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document, Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from the Lenders; and Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders.

12.05 Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, electronic communications, certificate or telecopier message, order or Loan Document or telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Loan Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by Agent with reasonable care.

12.06 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Loan Documents, unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Loan Party referring to this Agreement or the Loan Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to each Lender. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by Requisite Lenders; provided, that, unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

12.07 Indemnification. To the extent Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify Agent in proportion to its respective portion of the Notes, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Loan Document; provided that, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from Agent’s gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment). The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 12.07 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and payment in full of the Notes.

12.08 Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to the obligation of Agent to purchase Securities under this Agreement, the Securities purchased by it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and as if it were not performing the duties as Agent specified herein; and the term “Lender” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender. Agent may engage in business with any Loan Party as if it were not performing the duties specified herein.

12.09 Delivery of Documents or Other Information. To the extent Agent receives financial statements or other information required under this Agreement from the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which the Loan Parties are not obligated to deliver to the Lenders, Agent will promptly furnish such documents and information to the Lenders.

12.10 Loan Parties’ Undertaking to Agent. Without prejudice to its respective obligations to each Lender under the other provisions of this Agreement, each Loan Party undertakes with Agent to pay to Agent from time to time on demand all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of Agent or Lenders or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to any such demand shall pro tanto satisfy such Loan Party’s obligations to make payments for the account of Lenders or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.

12.11 No Reliance on Agent’s Customer Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with any Loan Party, its Affiliates or its agents, this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (1) any identity verification procedures, (2) any record-keeping, (3) comparisons with government lists, (4) customer notices or (5) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.

12.12 Other Agreements. Each Lender hereby specifically authorizes and directs Agent to enter into each of the Loan Documents on behalf of such Lender. Each Lender agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of Agent, set off against the obligations of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries to Agent and Lenders under the Agreement and Loan Documents, any amounts owing by such Lender to the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender further agrees that it shall not take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, it being the intent of each Lender that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall be taken by Agent at the direction of Requisite Lenders.

SECTION 13

TAXES

13.01 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all interest, additions to tax, penalties or other liabilities with respect thereto (“Taxes”), excluding the following (collectively, “Excluded Taxes”): (i) franchise Taxes and Taxes imposed or measured by Agent’s or Lender’s (as the case may be) overall net income, that are imposed on it by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) (1) under the Laws of which Agent or Lender (as the case may be) is organized or maintains a lending office, or (2) with which Agent or such Lender otherwise has a present or former connection (other than any such connection arising solely from Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, any Loan Document); (ii) any branch profits Tax imposed by the United States or any similar Tax imposed by another jurisdiction in which Borrower is located; (iii) any Taxes that are attributable to Agent’s or such Lender’s failure or inability to comply with Section 13.01(f) below; (iv) United States withholding Taxes required to be imposed on amounts payable to Agent or any Lender pursuant to the Laws in force at the time Agent or such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except, if Lender designates a new lending office or becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an assignment, withholding Taxes shall not be Excluded Taxes to the extent that such Taxes were not Excluded Taxes with respect to Lender or its assignor, as the case may be, immediately before such designation of a new lending office or assignment; and (v) United States withholding Taxes imposed by FATCA. If Borrower is required by any Law to deduct any Taxes other than Excluded Taxes (“Indemnified Taxes”) from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Lender, (1) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions of Indemnified Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (2) Borrower shall make such deductions, (3) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (4) as soon as possible, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent or such Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such taxation or other authority evidencing payment thereof.

(b) In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, excise, court, or documentary Taxes, charges or similar levies, which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document, other than Taxes that are imposed with respect to an assignment and that are imposed as a result of a pre-existing connection between Agent or Lender and the jurisdiction imposing the Tax (such Taxes that Borrower agrees to pay hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) If Borrower shall be required by the Laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Lender, Borrower shall also pay to Agent (for payment to the applicable Lender), at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that such Lender specifies as necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in United States (federal and state) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income, and taking into account any foreign tax credits available under Sections 901 through 903 of the Code or similar credit or exemption under a similar state law attributable to Borrower’s payment of such Indemnified Taxes) such Lender would have received if such deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) had not been made. A certificate that such Lender delivers to Borrower as to any such additional amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Without duplication of any amounts payable under clauses (a), (b) or (c) above, Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Agent and each Lender harmless for (i) the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by Agent and/or such Lender; and (ii) any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall make payment under this subsection (d) as soon as practicable after the date Agent or Lender makes a demand therefor.

(e) Each Lender shall severally indemnify Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Agent in connection with any Loan Document, 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 any Lender by Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Agent under this subsection (e).

(f) Each Lender, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement, and from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested in writing by Borrower, shall provide Borrower with (i) if such Lender is not a “United States Person” as that term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (“U.S. Person”) (a “Non- U.S. Lender”), a complete and properly executed IRS Form ▇-▇▇▇▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇-▇, ▇-▇▇▇▇ or W-8IMY (including all required accompanying information), as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the IRS (including a United States taxpayer identification number), certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is entitled to benefits under an income Tax treaty to which the United States is a party that reduces the rate of withholding Tax on payments of interest, certifying that such Non-U.S. Lender is eligible for the “portfolio interest exemption” or certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or (ii) if Lender is a U.S. Person, an IRS Form W-9 or any successor form prescribed by the IRS. If a payment made by Borrower to Lender or Administrative Agent would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such person were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such person shall deliver to Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender or Agent has complied with such Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. In addition, each Lender will (1) take all actions reasonably requested in good faith by Borrower in writing that are consistent with applicable legal and regulatory restrictions to claim any available reductions or exemptions from Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and (2) otherwise cooperate with Borrower to minimize any amounts payable by Borrower under this Section 13.01; provided that, in each case, any out-of-pocket cost relating directly to such action or cooperation requested by Borrower shall be borne solely by Borrower, and no Lender shall be required to take any action that it determines in its sole good faith discretion may be adverse in any non de minimis respect to it and not indemnified to its satisfaction.

(g) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 13.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 13.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, there shall be no limitation or restriction on (A) the ability of any Lender or Agent to assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement, any Note, or any of the other Loan Documents, or any rights thereunder, to any of its Affiliates or (B) (x) the ability of any Lender or Agent to pledge, or otherwise grant a security interest in, this Agreement, any Note, or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of its rights thereunder, to any lender or other funding or financing source of such Lender or Agent or (y) the assignment or other transfer in connection with the realization of any such pledge or other security interest; provided, however, such Lender shall continue to be liable as a “Lender” under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents unless any such Affiliate, lender or funding or financing source agrees to be bound by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

14.04 Amendment and Waiver.

(a) No failure or delay on the part of any of the parties hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided for in this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to the parties hereto at law, in equity or otherwise.

(b) Any Modification of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document, shall be effective as to the Lenders (i) only if it is made or given in writing and signed by each Loan Party and the Requisite Lenders, except that, without the written consent of the holder or holders of all Notes at the time outstanding, no amendment to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall change the maturity of any Note, or change the principal of, or the rate, method of computation or time of payment of interest on or any fee payable with respect to, any Note, or affect the time, amount or allocation of any prepayments, or change the proportion of the principal amount of the Notes required with respect to any amendment, supplement or modification, and (ii) only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer or exchange of any Note at the principal offices of the Borrower, the Borrower shall, at its expense, execute and deliver one or more Notes of like tenor and of denominations of at least $500,000 (except as may be necessary to reflect any principal amount not evenly divisible by $500,000) of a like aggregate principal amount, registered in the name of the Lender or a transferee or transferees. Every Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by written instrument of transfer duly executed by the Lender of such Note or such Lender’s attorney duly authorized in writing.

(c) On receipt by the Borrower of an affidavit of an authorized representative of any Lender stating the circumstances of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (and in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of such Note), the Borrower, at its expense, will promptly execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of like tenor. If required by the Borrower, such Lender must provide indemnity sufficient in the reasonable judgment of the Borrower to protect the Borrower from any loss which they may suffer if a lost, stolen or destroyed Note is replaced.
