Neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has filed, pursuant to Section 412(c) of the Code or Section 302(c) of ERISA, an application for a waiver of the minimum funding standard. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in material liability.

5.10 Accuracy of Information. No information, exhibit or report furnished by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to the Lender in connection with the negotiation of, or

30

compliance with, the Loan Documents contained any material misstatement of fact or omitted to state a material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading.

5.11 Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately (a) to purchase or carry margin stock or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock, or to refund or repay indebtedness originally incurred for such purposes or (b) for any purpose which entails a violation of, or which is inconsistent with, the provisions of the Regulations of The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, including without limitation, Regulations G, U, T, X or Y thereof, as amended. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to execute, or cause to be executed, all instruments necessary to comply with all of the requirements of Regulation U of The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

5.12 Material Agreements. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any charter or other corporate restriction that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions in (i) any material agreement to which it is a party, or (ii) any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing Indebtedness (the agreements and instruments referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Material Agreements”), which default could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.15 Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. The Borrower is not an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 of an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan (within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code), and neither the execution of this Agreement nor the making of Loan will give rise to a prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

5.16 Environmental Matters. In the ordinary course of its business, the Borrower considers the effect of Environmental Laws on the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, in the course of which its responsible officers identify and evaluate potential risks and liabilities accruing to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries due to Environmental Laws. On the basis of this consideration, the Borrower has concluded that its Property and operations and those of its Subsidiaries are in material compliance with applicable Environmental Laws and that none of

32

Borrower and its Subsidiaries is subject to any liability under Environmental Laws that individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Authorized Officer has received any notice to the effect that the Property and/or operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are not in material compliance with any of the requirements of applicable Environmental Laws or are the subject of any federal or state investigation evaluating whether any remedial action is needed to respond to a release of any Hazardous Material, which non-compliance or remedial action could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.17 Investment Company Act. Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.¹

5.18 Insurance. The Borrower maintains, and has caused each Subsidiary to maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on all their Property and liability insurance in such amounts, subject to such deductibles and self-insurance retentions and covering such Properties and risks as are consistent with sound business practice.

As of the Effective Date, other than as set forth in Schedule 5.21, none of the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has (a) any Subordinated Indebtedness or (b) any Indebtedness that has been contractually subordinated to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower. At any time, the Obligations are “Senior Debt” or “Designated Senior Debt” or like term under any Subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

5.22 Regulatory Approval. Borrower has received all regulatory approvals required, if any, to effectuate the Warp Speed Acquisition.

5.23 Bank Accounts. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.23, all bank accounts of the Borrower shall be located at the Lender until payment in full of the Obligations.

6.10 Further Assurances. The Borrower will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Lender such documents, agreements and instruments, and will take or cause to be taken such further actions, that may be required by law or that the Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request to carry out the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and all at the expense of the Borrower.

38

ARTICLE IX

ACCELERATION, WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES

9.1 Acceleration; Remedies. If any Event of Default described in Sections 8.6 or 8.7 occurs with respect to the Borrower, the Obligations shall immediately become due and payable without any election or action on the part of the Lender. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Lender may, upon written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, declare the Obligations to be due and payable whereupon the Obligations shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which the Borrower hereby expressly waives. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Lender may exercise all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and enforce all other rights and remedies under applicable Law.

9.2 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.1 (or after the Obligations have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the first sentence of Section 9.1), the Lender shall apply any amounts it receives on account of the Obligations in the following order:

9.3 Amendments. Neither this Agreement, the Note nor any other Loan Document may be amended or modified except in a writing signed by the parties hereto.

9.4 Preservation of Rights. No delay or omission of the Lender to exercise any right under the Loan Documents shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and the making of the Loan notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default or the inability of the Borrower to satisfy the conditions precedent to the Loan shall not constitute any waiver or acquiescence. Any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in writing signed by the Lender required pursuant to Section 9.3, and then only to the extent in such writing specifically set forth. All remedies in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be cumulative and all shall be available to the Lender until the Obligations have been paid in full.

47

ARTICLE X

GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Borrower in this Agreement shall survive the making of the Loan.

10.3 Headings. Section headings in the Loan Documents are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the provisions of the Loan Documents.

10.4 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Borrower and the Lender and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the Borrower and the Lender relating to the subject matter thereof.

10.5 Benefits of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed so as to confer any right or benefit upon any Person other than the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns.

10.6 Expenses; Indemnification.

48

10.7 Accounting. Except as provided to the contrary herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted and all accounting determinations hereunder shall be made in accordance with GAAP in a manner consistent with that used in preparing the financial statements referred to in Section 5.4(a); provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision herein, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein shall be made without giving effect to (i) any election under Accounting Standards Codification Section ▇▇▇-▇▇-▇▇ (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries at “fair value,” as defined therein, or (ii) any treatment of Indebtedness in respect of convertible debt instruments under Financial Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 470-20 (or any other Accounting Standards Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) to value any such Indebtedness in a reduced or bifurcated manner as described therein, and such Indebtedness shall at all times be valued at the full stated principal amount thereof. If at any time any change in GAAP or in any regulation (or interpretation or guidance with respect to any regulation) adopted by any bank regulatory authority after the Effective Date would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in Section 7.9 of this Agreement, then the Lender and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP or such bank regulation; provided, that until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP and such bank regulation prior to such change therein and the Borrower shall provide to the Lender reconciliation statements showing the difference in such calculation, together with the delivery of monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements required hereunder.

10.8 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable, or invalid without affecting the remaining provisions in that jurisdiction or the operation, enforceability, or validity of that provision in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.

10.9 Nonliability of the Lender. The relationship between the Borrower on the one hand and the Lender on the other hand shall be solely that of borrower and lender. The Lender shall have no fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower. The Lender undertakes no responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations. The Borrower agrees that the Lender shall have no liability to the Borrower (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by the Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of

49
