(b) In the event that the Parent proposes to sell or issue Additional Equity Securities, the Parent shall promptly provide written notice thereof to each Lender (the “Additional Issuance Notice”), which Additional Issuance Notice shall be furnished at least twenty (20) days before the proposed sale or issuance of the Additional Equity Securities. The Additional Issuance Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail, the proposed sale (including, without limitation, the aggregate amount of Additional Equity Securities to be sold, the nature of such sale or transfer, and the consideration to be paid).

(c) Upon receipt of the Additional Issuance Notice, each Lender shall, within such twenty (20) day period, notify the Parent in writing of its election to purchase all or any portion of the Additional Equity Securities which it has the right to purchase under Section 6.15(a). The closing of any such purchase shall occur within fifteen (15) days of the date of such notice of election to purchase or at any closing date for the sale of the Additional Equity Securities to other parties specified in the Additional Equity Notice. Failure by either Lender to provide such notice or close such purchase within such time periods shall be deemed an election by such Lender not to accept such offer, but shall not adversely affect the right of such Lender to be included in any subsequent offers of Additional Equity Securities by the Parent.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights of each Lender set forth in this Section 6.15 shall not apply to any issuance or proposed issuance by the Parent of Additional Equity Securities to be issued under and pursuant to the Warrants.

(e) In addition to the rights of the Lenders referred to in Section 6.15(a), the Companies shall provide the Lenders with at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of its desire to incur Debt for borrowed money or issue any Debt securities (other than Permitted Debt) (“Additional Debt”) while any of the Obligations are outstanding and provide the Lenders with the first and prior right to provide such Additional Debt on such terms and conditions as are mutually acceptable to both the Lenders and the Companies.

(f) Notwithstanding the requirements of this Section 6.15, if the Board determines in good faith that it would be in the best interests of the Parent to proceed with an issuance, sale or exchange of any Additional Equity Securities without compliance with this Section 6.15, Parent may proceed with any such issuance, sale or exchange without having complied with the provisions of this Section 6.15; provided that in such event the Board shall, promptly but in any event within thirty (30) days thereafter, offer Lenders such rights to purchase Additional Equity Securities as the Board shall in good faith determine to be equitable in the circumstances in order to fulfill, for Lenders’ benefit, the purpose and intent of this Section 6.15.”

8. Amendment to Right to Put Subdebt Units and Warrant Units. Section 6.16 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated and shall read in its entirety as follows:

“6.16 Right to Put Subdebt Stock and Warrant Stock.

(a) Put Right. At any time during the Put Period, each Lender shall have the right, upon written notice to the Parent (the “Put Notice”), to put to the Parent (i.e. to sell and require the Parent to purchase) (an “Exercising Lender”) (x) all and not less than all of the Subdebt Stock held by such Lender, (y) all and not less than all of the Warrant Stock acquired by such Lender under the Warrants and/or (z) all and not less than all of the Warrant Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants held by such Lender (collectively, the “Put Securities”) for an amount, payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds, equal to (i) the greater of (A) five and one-half (5.5) times Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent trailing twelve (12) (TTM) month period immediately preceding the Put Date minus the aggregate amount of Funded Debt of the Parent and its Subsidiaries outstanding as of the Put Date plus cash, Cash Equivalents, financial instruments, and marketable securities of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the Put Date, or (B) the Fair Market Value, multiplied by (ii) percentage representing the Fully-Diluted Stock Percentage Interest of the Put Securities being put by the Exercising Lender hereunder (the amount required to be paid by the Parent to an Exercising Lender in connection with any Put exercised under this Section 6.16(a) being referred to herein as the “Put Price”).

(b) Calculation of Put Price. In connection with the foregoing, as soon as possible following the Put Date, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days following the Put Date, the Parent shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Exercising Lender its calculation of the Put Price under clause (i)(A) of Section 6.16(a), which shall be certified as true, correct and complete by the Parent’s Chief Financial Officer and which shall be accompanied by those financial and related statements, data and information used by the Parent in connection with such calculation. The Parent shall also furnish the Exercising Lender with such additional information that the Exercising Lender may reasonably request in connection with the Parent’s calculation of the Put Price. The Exercising Lender shall have the right to cause the Accounting Firm to review and verify the calculation of the Put Price, and the Parent shall provide such party with all documents and information necessary for such review and calculation. The reasonable fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in connection with such review shall be paid by the Parent.

(c) Payment of Put Price. Payment of the Put Price payable upon the exercise of any Put shall be made by the Parent to the Exercising Lender in the manner required by Section 6.16(a) within fifteen (15) days after the Put Price has been determined, unless the Put Price is determined in connection with the occurrence of a Liquidity Event (in which case the Put Price shall be payable concurrently with the occurrence of the Liquidity Event). Each Borrower hereby, jointly and severally, guarantees and becomes surety for the prompt payment and satisfaction of the Put Price hereunder.

(d) Revocation Right. The Exercising Lender shall have the right at any time prior to receiving the Put Price to revoke, in writing, the Put to which it relates (and in such case the Exercising Lender shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Parent in connection with any determination of Fair Market Value and the Accounting Firm resulting from such Put), in which case the provisions of this Section 6.16 and the Exercising Lender’s right to exercise a Put thereafter shall continue unaffected.

(e) Fair Market Value; Liquidity Event. The parties recognize, acknowledge and agree that the amount of consideration payable in respect of the Put Securities in connection with a Liquidity Event is indicative of the fair market value of such Put Securities at the time of such Liquidity Event. As a result, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that the Put is being executed in connection with a Liquidity Event that has been or is being completed or at any time within six (6) months after a Liquidity Event has been completed, and the Liquidity Event involves the sale of more than fifty percent (50%) of the issued and outstanding Parent Securities or liquidation of Parent following a sale of all or substantially all of Parent’s assets, then Fair Market Value shall be determined by reference to the consideration due and payable (or that would have been due and payable) to the Exercising Lender in respect of its Put Securities at the closing of such Liquidity Event.

(f) Notice to Other Lender. The Exercising Lender shall deliver a copy of the Put Notice to the other Lender simultaneously with its delivery thereof to the Parent, unless the Put Notice has been delivered jointly by the Lenders as Exercising Lenders hereunder. It is understood that a Lender shall have the right to deliver a Put Notice and become an Exercising Lender at any time and, if so delivered after a Put Notice has been delivered by the other Lender but closing with respect thereto has not yet occurred, then the Parent shall be required to simultaneously purchase all Put Securities pursuant hereto at the closing of the Put Securities of the Exercising Lender that first exercised its put hereunder.

(g) Put Closing; Deferred Closing. Upon the exercise by an Exercising Lender of the Put, the Parent covenants and agrees that it shall set aside in trust for the benefit of each Exercising Lender all funds necessary to purchase the Put Securities subject to the Put, which funds shall be used to pay the Put Price payable to such Exercising Lender, upon the surrender of the certificates, if any, representing the Put Securities subject to the Put to the Parent for purchase (or such affidavits, indemnity and undertakings as would be reasonably necessary to replace any certificate claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed). In the event that the Parent does have sufficient funds on hand to pay the Put Price, then Parent shall, and cause its Subsidiaries to, use any and all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain funds in the form of debt and/or equity financing sufficient to pay the Put Price in cash to each Exercising Lender. Further, if legally available funds under the corporate law of the State of Delaware are insufficient to pay the entire Put Price for the Put Securities required to be purchased in connection with the Put (as reasonably and in good faith determined by the Board and supported by an opinion of counsel to the Parent that is reasonably satisfactory to the Exercising Lender) and the Parent is unable to obtain financing in an amount sufficient to pay the entire Put Price for the Put Securities required to be purchased in connection with the Put as contemplated by the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, then each Exercising Lender may elect pursuant to written notice to the Parent.

(i) Deferred Purchase Date. To allow the Put rights exercised by the Exercising Lender hereunder to remain exercised and defer the closing date until any of the first five (5) Business Days after there are sufficient legally available funds under the corporate law of the State of Delaware to effect the purchase at which time the Put Price shall be recalculated to be an amount equal to the greater of the original Put Price or the Put Price as of the date of payment of such Put Price, provided that, as and to the extent that there are sufficient legally available funds under applicable law to effect the purchase, the Parent and its Subsidiaries jointly and severally shall promptly make partial payments of the Put Price, together with accrued interest thereon at the Default Rate, to each Exercising Lender (with such payments to be allocated between the Exercising Lenders on a pro rata basis based on the total amount of the Put Price payable to each such Exercising Lender) and the Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remove the restriction preventing it from paying the entire Put Price.

(ii) Issuance of Promissory Note. To cause the Parent and its Subsidiaries to issue their joint and several senior subordinated promissory note to the order of each Exercising Lender in the amount of the Put Price for the Put Securities held by such Exercising Lender and subject to the Put, calculated as of the date of the issuance of such promissory note, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Exercising Lender, with a maturity date of twelve (12) months from the date of the Put Notice delivered by the Exercising Lender and an interest rate equal to the Default Rate; or

(iii) Rescission of Put. To rescind the exercise by such Exercising Lender of the Put pursuant to this Section 6.16 in whole or in part at the option of the Exercising Lender with the result that the Exercising Lender may require the Parent to purchase its Put Securities at any time thereafter in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.16; provided, that nothing contained in this Section 6.16(g) (including, without limitation, the provisions of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above) shall limit the rights and remedies available to the Exercising Lenders for any failure to purchase the Put Securities as required pursuant to this Section 6.16 (it being understood and agreed that any such failure to purchase shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement by the Parent).

(h) Reinstatement; Continuation of Rights Upon Default. In the event that the Parent shall default in the payment of any portion of the Put Price, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies of the Exercising Lender which may be available herein or in any of the other Loan Documents (or at law or in equity), the Put Securities subject to the put shall remain vested with the Exercising Lender and the Exercising Lender shall continue to have the rights of a holder of Parent Securities hereunder.

(i) Surviving Affirmative and Negative Covenants. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, so long as any Lender holds any Put Securities hereunder, Parent has any obligations under this Section 6.16 and notwithstanding any prior repayment in full of the Senior Subordinated Notes thereunder, the Companies covenant and agree that they will continue to comply, and cause their Subsidiaries to continue to comply, with the following covenants contained in this Agreement notwithstanding the repayment in full of the Senior Subordinated Notes: Section 6.1, Section 6.5, Section 6.6(a), Section 6.8, Section 6.14, Section 6.15, Section 7.1, Section 7.2, Section 7.4, Section 7.6, Section 7.7, Section 7.13 and Section 7.15. By way of clarification, upon repayment in full of the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Companies and their Subsidiaries shall only be required to comply with those affirmative and negative covenants identified in the immediately preceding sentence.”

9. Amendment to Reservation of Parent Units. Section 6.17 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated and shall read in its entirety as follows:

“6.17 “Reservation of Parent Securities. On the Conversion Date, Parent will, to the extent applicable, reserve and thereafter keep reserved, at all times sufficient shares of LTN Common Stock for issuance to Brookside II and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ upon exercise of the Warrants, which reserved Parent Securities, when issued and delivered upon exercise of the Warrants, shall be validly issued, fully-paid, non-assessable and free and clear of Liens.”

(c) Since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures, there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

(d) The Companies and their Subsidiaries are in compliance with the requirements of all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to or pertaining to their property or business operations non-compliance with which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

In addition, each Company shall (a) ensure that no person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls such Company or any subsidiary of such Company is or shall be listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the Department of the Treasury or included in any Executive Orders, (b) not use or permit the use of the proceeds of the Senior Subordinated Loans to violate any of the foreign asset control regulations of OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order relating thereto, and (c) comply, and cause any of its subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable Bank Secrecy Act (“BSA”) laws and regulations, as amended.
