SECTION II. THE LOANS

​

​

a.Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender hereby establishes for the benefit of Borrower a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit”) which shall include cash Advances extended by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to or for the benefit of Borrower as well as Letters of Credit issued for the account of Borrower from time to time hereunder. The aggregate principal amount of unpaid cash Advances, plus the Letter of Credit Amount, shall not at any time exceed the Borrowing Base. Subject to such limitation, the outstanding balance of Advances under the Revolving Credit may fluctuate from time to time, to be reduced by repayments made by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, to be increased by future Advances, which may be made by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, to or for the benefit of Borrower and, subject to the provisions of Section VIII below, shall be due and payable on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. If the aggregate principal amount of unpaid cash Advances, plus the Letter of Credit Amount, at any time exceeds the Borrowing Base set forth in any Borrowing Certificate (such excess referred to as “Overadvance”), Borrower shall immediately repay the Overadvance in full.

​

b.On the Restatement Date, Borrower shall execute and deliver an amended and restated promissory note to Lender for the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount (“Revolving Credit Note”). The Revolving Credit Note shall evidence ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s unconditional obligation to repay Lender for all Advances made under the Revolving Credit, with interest as herein provided. Each Advance under the Revolving Credit shall be deemed evidenced by the Revolving Credit Note, which is deemed incorporated herein by reference and made part hereof. The Revolving Credit Note shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

​

c.The term of the Revolving Credit shall expire on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. On such date, unless having been sooner accelerated by Lender pursuant to the terms hereof, and without impairing any rights under Section 3.1, all sums owing under the Revolving Credit shall be due and payable in full, and as of and after such date Borrower shall not request and Lender shall not make any further Advances under the Revolving Credit.

​

​

▇.▇▇ a part of the Revolving Credit and subject to its terms and conditions (including, without limitation, the Borrowing Base), Lender shall make available to Borrower Letters of Credit which shall not exceed, in the aggregate at any one time outstanding, the L/C Commitment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Letters of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. No Letter of Credit shall be issued with an expiry date later than (i) three hundred sixty five (365) days from the date of issuance for a stand-by letter of credit or (ii) ten (10) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender all Letter of Credit Documents required by Lender for such purposes. Each Letter of Credit shall comply with the Letter of Credit Documents.

​

b.Each Letter of Credit issued from time to time under the Revolving Credit which remains undrawn (and the amounts of draws on Letters of Credit prior to payment as

​

​

15

hereinafter set forth) shall reduce, dollar for dollar, the amount available to be borrowed by Borrower under the Revolving Credit.

​

▇.▇▇ the event of any request for drawing under any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall immediately reimburse Lender on the day when such drawing is honored, by either a cash payment by Borrower or, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the absence of such payment by Borrower, and at ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s option, by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ automatically making or having been deemed to have made (without further request or approval of Borrower) a cash Advance under the Revolving Credit on such date to reimburse Lender. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s reimbursement obligation for draws under Letters of Credit along with the obligation to pay L/C Fees shall herein be referred to collectively as Borrower’s “Reimbursement Obligations.” All of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s Reimbursement Obligations hereunder with respect to Letters of Credit shall apply unconditionally and absolutely to Letters of Credit issued hereunder on behalf of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

​

d.The obligation of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to reimburse Lender for drawings made (or for cash Advances made to cover drawings made) under the Letters of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

​

​

ii.the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that Borrower or any other Person may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction;

​

iii.any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

​

iv.payment by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit unless ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall have acted with willful misconduct or gross negligence in issuing such payment;

​

v.any other circumstances or happening whatsoever that is similar to any of the foregoing; or

​

vi.the fact that a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

​

e.If by reason of (i) any change after the Closing Date in any applicable law, regulation, rule, decree or regulatory requirement, or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or (ii) compliance by Lender with any direction, reasonable request or requirement (whether or not having the force of law) of any governmental or monetary authority including, without limitation, Regulation D:

​

​

16

i.Lender shall be subject to any tax or other levy or charge of any nature or to any variation thereof (except for changes in the rate of any tax on the net income of Lender or its applicable lending office) or to any penalty with respect to the maintenance or fulfillment of its obligations under this Section 2.2, whether directly or by such being imposed on or suffered by Lender;

​

ii.any reserve, deposit or similar requirement is or shall be applicable, imposed or modified in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by Lender; or

​

iii.there shall be imposed on Lender any other condition regarding this Section 2.2 or any Letter of Credit; and the result of the foregoing is to directly or indirectly increase the cost to Lender of issuing, creating, making or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount receivable in respect thereof by Lender, then and in any such case, Lender shall, after the additional cost is incurred or the amount received is reduced, notify Borrower and Borrower shall pay on demand such amounts as may be necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced receipt, together with interest on such amount from the date demanded until payment in full thereof at a rate per annum equal at all times to the applicable interest rate under the Revolving Credit. A certificate signed by an officer of Lender as to the amount of such increased cost or reduced receipt showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to Borrower by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall, except for manifest error and absent written notice from Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days from submission, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

​

f.i. In addition to amounts payable as elsewhere provided in this Section 2.2, without duplication, Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses,  costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which Lender may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (A) the issuance of the Letters of Credit or (b) the failure of Lender to honor a drawing under any Letter of Credit as a result of any such act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority (all such acts or omissions herein called “Government Acts”) in each case except for claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses to the extent arising from acts or conduct of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct.

​

▇▇.▇▇ between ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of or misuse of the Letters of Credit issued by Lender by the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Lender shall not be responsible: (A) for the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance if such Letters of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (B) for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (C) for failure of the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Lender; (D) for errors,

​

​

17

omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they are in cipher, unless any of the foregoing are caused by ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (E) for errors in interpretation of technical terms; (F) for any loss or delay in the transmission of any document or required in order to make a drawing under such Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof, unless caused by Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (G) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (H) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Lender, including, without limitation, any Government Acts. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s rights or powers hereunder.

​

▇▇▇.▇▇ furtherance and extension and not in limitation of the specific provisions hereinabove set forth, any action taken or omitted by Lender in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by it or the related certificates, if taken or omitted in good faith in the absence of gross negligence, shall not create any liability on the part of Lender to Borrower.

​

​

▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇ advanced to Borrower on the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the sum of the Term Loan Amount (“Term Loan”).

​

▇.▇▇ Closing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ executed and delivered a promissory note to Lender in the original principal amount of the Term Loan Amount (“Term Loan Note”). The Term Loan Note shall evidence ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s unconditional obligation to repay to Lender the Term Loan with interest as herein provided.

​

c.The principal balance of the Term Loan shall be paid in forty-eight (48) consecutive equal monthly installments of principal in the amount of One Hundred Nine Thousand Three Hundred Seventy Five Dollars ($109,375.00) commencing on November 30, 2017, and continuing on the last Business Day of each month thereafter. A final installment of all unpaid principal and all accrued and unpaid interest outstanding under the Term Loan shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

​

​

a.Except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Agreement (or in the case of an Interest Hedging Instrument under the applicable agreements), all payments of principal and of interest on the Revolving Credit, Reimbursement Obligations, Term Loan and all Expenses, fees, indemnification obligations and all other charges and any other Obligations of Borrower, shall be made to Lender at its banking office located at ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, in United States dollars, in immediately available funds. Lender shall have the unconditional right and discretion (and Borrower hereby authorizes Lender) to charge any of Borrower’s operating and/or deposit account(s), for all of Borrower’s Obligations as they become due from time to time under this Agreement including, without limitation, interest, principal, fees, indemnification obligations and reimbursement of Expenses. Alternatively, Lender may in its discretion (and Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to) make a cash Advance under the Revolving Credit in a sum sufficient to pay all interest accrued and payable on the

​

​

18

Obligations and to pay all costs, fees and Expenses owing hereunder. Borrower acknowledges that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to maintain sufficient funds in any checking, operating or deposit account for payment of any of the Obligations, or Lender’s failure to charge any such account shall not relieve Borrower of any payment obligation under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Any payments received prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on any Business Day shall be deemed received on such Business Day. Any payments (including any payment in full of the Obligations), received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on any Business Day shall be deemed received on the immediately following Business Day.

​

b.Axxum has established with Lender depository account number 2010060857 (together with any other similar depository account established and maintained by any Borrower with Lender with terms and conditions acceptable to Lender, the “Cash Collateral Account”). Each Borrower shall cause (and Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to cause)  the transfer of all payments on such Borrower’s Accounts into the Cash Collateral Account. For each Borrower (other than KAE) to achieve this, such Borrower shall amend its System for Award Management to provide that all payments due to it will be deposited into the Cash Collateral Account. Deposits into the Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by Lender daily, subject to Lender’s standard clearing procedures and clearing periods for deposited funds, to reduce the outstanding principal amount under the Revolving Credit. All collections of Accounts and proceeds of other Collateral to the extent received by Borrower shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and remitted, in specie, to Lender for deposit in the Cash Collateral Account immediately upon receipt by Borrower. Borrower shall have no right of access to or withdrawal from the Cash Collateral Account; provided that if there are no outstanding Advances and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then all collections of Accounts shall be, subject to Lender’s standard clearing procedures and clearing periods for deposited funds, transferred to a Borrower’s operating account with Lender. All funds deposited into the Cash Collateral Account shall immediately become the property of Lender.

​

▇.▇▇▇▇ Advances which may be made by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ from time to time under the Revolving Credit shall be made available by crediting such proceeds to a Borrower’s operating account with Lender.

​

d.All requests for a cash Advance under the Revolving Credit are to be pursuant to a working capital loan sweep or a written request (“Advance Request”) executed by an Authorized Officer of Axxum. Requests for Advances must be requested by 2:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the date such Advance is to be made. Upon receiving a request for an Advance in accordance with this subparagraph, and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall make the requested Advance available to Axxum (or another Borrower as instructed) as soon as is reasonably practicable thereafter on the day the requested Advance is to be made.

​

​

a.The unpaid principal balance of cash Advances under the Revolving Credit shall bear interest, subject to the terms hereof, at the per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus one hundred (100) basis points. Changes in the interest rate applicable to the Revolving Credit shall become effective on the same day that there is a change in the Prime

​

​

19

Rate. Interest on the Revolving Credit shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the last Business Day of each month, beginning on November 30, 2017 and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

​

b.The unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan shall bear interest, subject to the terms hereof, at a per annum rate equal to the Prime Rate plus two hundred (200) basis points. Changes in the interest rate applicable to the Term Loan shall become effective on the same day that there is a change in the Prime Rate. Interest on the Term Loan shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the last Business Day of each calendar month, beginning on November 30, 2017 and on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

​

​

a.Interest on the Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days but charged for the actual number of days elapsed.

​

b.After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, the per annum effective rate of interest on all outstanding principal under the Loans may, at the option of the Lender, be increased by five hundred (500) basis points; provided that such increase in interest rate shall automatically become effective upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(j), 8.1(k) or 8.1(l). All such increases may be applied retroactively to the date of the occurrence of the Event of Default. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that the default rate payable to Lender is a reasonable estimate of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s damages and is not a penalty.

​

c.All contractual rates of interest chargeable on outstanding principal under the Loans shall continue to accrue and be paid even after Default, an Event of Default, maturity, acceleration, judgment, bankruptcy, insolvency proceedings of any kind or the happening of any event or occurrence similar or dissimilar.

​

▇.▇▇ no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest hereunder and charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such court determines Lender has charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, Lender shall apply, in its sole discretion, and set off such excess interest received by Lender against other Obligations due or to become due and such rate shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by such law.

​

​

▇.▇▇ Closing, Lender shall have fully earned and Borrower shall unconditionally pay to Lender, a non-refundable administrative fee with respect to the Revolving Credit (“Revolving Credit Fee”) in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Fee Amount. An additional fee in an amount equal to the Revolving Credit Fee Amount shall be paid on the Restatement Date. A Revolving Credit Fee (equal to twice the Revolving Credit Fee Amount) is expected to be paid annually if the Revolving Credit Maturity Date is extended beyond March 31, 2020.

▇.▇▇ or prior to Closing Borrower paid to Lender a non-refundable fee with respect to the Term Loan (“Term Loan Closing Fee”) in the amount of Sixty Five Thousand Six Hundred Twenty Five Dollars ($65,625).

​

▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall unconditionally pay to Lender a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of any and all payments of principal or interest on the Loans that are not paid within fifteen (15) days of the due date. Such late charge shall be due and payable regardless of whether ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has accelerated the Obligations. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that any late fee payable to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is a reasonable estimate of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s damages and is not a penalty.

​

▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall pay to Lender a fee in the amount of two percent (2%) per annum of the face amount of each Letter of Credit issued by ▇▇▇▇▇▇. Such fee shall be payable on the date the Letter of Credit is issued. In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall pay to Lender, upon billing therefore, all of ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s standard commissions for the issuance of banker’s acceptances and standard charges for issuance, amendment, extension and cancellation of any Letter of Credit. All such fees and charges are referred to herein collectively as the “L/C Fees.”

​

​

▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may voluntarily prepay the Revolving Credit in whole or in part at any time or from time to time, without penalty or premium.

​

b.Borrower may voluntarily prepay the Term Loan in whole or in part at any time or from time to time. Any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan shall be in a principal amount not less than $25,000. If the Term Loan is prepaid, in whole or in part, with the proceeds of another financing, the Borrower shall pay with any such prepayment a premium equal to two percent (2%) of the amount of the Term Loan prepaid, but only if Borrower had first offered the Lender the opportunity to provide such financing and Lender declined, or was unable, to provide it.

​

c.If the Borrower has Excess Cash Flow in any fiscal year, the Borrower shall, within 125 days after the end of such fiscal year, prepay the Term Loan in an amount equal to 50% of the Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year (but only to the extent the Term Loan is then outstanding).

​

d.Any voluntary prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest.  Any partial prepayment of the Term Loan shall be applied to installments of the Term Loan due in the inverse order of maturity.

​

2.9.Use of Proceeds: The extensions of credit under and proceeds of the Revolving Credit shall be used to provide working capital and cash flow support of Borrower’s performance of its contracts, and the issuance of standby letters of credit. The extensions of credit under and proceeds of the Term Loan shall be used to finance the Axxum Acquisition.

​

▇.▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Adequacy: If any present or future law, governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, directive or similar requirement (whether or not having the force of law) imposes, modifies, or deems applicable any capital adequacy, capital maintenance or similar requirement which affects the manner in which Lender allocates capital resources to its

​

​

21

commitments (including any commitments hereunder), and as a result thereof, in the opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the rate of return on Lender’s capital with regard to the Loans is reduced to a level below that which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ could have achieved but for such circumstances, then in such case and upon notice from Lender to Borrower, from time to time, Borrower shall pay Lender such additional amount or amounts as shall compensate Lender for such reduction in Lender’s rate of return. Such notice shall contain the statement of Lender with regard to of any such amount or amounts which shall, in the absence of manifest error, be binding upon Borrower. In determining such amount, Lender may use any reasonable method of averaging and attribution that it deems applicable, provided that such methodology is also used, to the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s other borrowers with loans similar to the Loans that are subject to provisions substantially similar to this Section 2.10. Any rules, regulations, policies, guidelines, directives or similar requirements adopted, promulgated or implemented in connection with (a) the ▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (b) the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or any United States Governmental Authority, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in all events are deemed to have been imposed, introduced and adopted after the date of this Agreement.

Any acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification, or other action which might otherwise be valid or effective only if given, taken or received by all or any Borrower acting singly, shall be valid and effective if given, taken or received only by an authorized officer of Axxum, whether or not any of the other Borrowers joins therein, and Lender shall not have any duty or obligation to make further inquiry with respect to the authority of Axxum under this Section 2.11, provided that nothing in this Section 2.11 shall limit the effectiveness of, or the right of Lender to require and rely upon, any notice, document, instrument, certificate, acknowledgment, consent, direction, certification, or other action to be delivered by an authorized officer of each Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. With respect to any action hereunder, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may conclusively rely upon, and shall incur no liability to any Borrower in acting upon, any request or other communication that Lender reasonably believes to have been given or made by an authorized officer on such or any Borrower’s behalf, whether or not such Person is listed on the incumbency certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement. In each such case, each Borrower hereby waives the right to dispute ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s actions based upon such request or other communication.

​

​

a.Each Borrower acknowledges that it is jointly and severally liable for all of the Obligations under the Loan Documents, and any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other agreement which affects the Obligations shall be deemed to affect the Obligations of all Borrowers on a joint and several basis unless expressly specified otherwise.

Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by Lender under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of each other Borrower to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations. With respect to any Borrower’s Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of Borrowers hereunder with respect to Loans or other extensions of credit made to any of the other Borrowers hereunder, such Borrower hereby waives, as long as any Obligations are not paid in full and the commitment of Lender under this Agreement has not been terminated, any right to enforce any right of subrogation or any remedy which Lender now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower, or any endorser of all or any part of the Obligations, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Lender to secure payment of the Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower to Lender.

b.Each Borrower hereby guarantees the prompt payment and performance in full of all Obligations (including the Term Loan). Such guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

​

2.13.Limitation of Liability: Notwithstanding any provisions contained herein to the contrary, the liability of each Borrower (each a “Related Borrower”) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the amount which could be claimed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ from such Related Borrower under the Loan Documents without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, U.S.C.) or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law (the “Avoidance Provisions”) after taking into account, among other things, such Related Borrower’s right of contribution and indemnification from other Borrowers, if any. To the extent set forth above, but only to the extent that the obligations of a Related Borrower hereunder (for each Related Borrower, the “Related Borrower Obligations”) would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the avoidance provisions, if the Related Borrower is not deemed to have received valuable consideration, fair value, fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for its Related Borrower Obligations, or if its Related Borrower Obligations would render the Related Borrower insolvent, or leave the Related Borrower with an unreasonably small capital to conduct its business, or cause the Related Borrower to have incurred debts (or to have intended to have incurred debts) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, in each case as of the time any of its Related Borrower Obligations is deemed to have incurred for the purposes if the avoidance provisions, the maximum Related Borrower Obligations for which the Related Borrower shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not cause the Related Borrower Obligations as so reduced, to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions.
