kind against the Lenders or the Administrative Agent.

All representations and warranties made in the Credit Agreement or the Guaranty and Collateral Agreement or any other Loan Documents or under or in connection with this Amendment, including, without limitation, any document furnished in connection with this Amendment, shall survive the execution and delivery of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents.
     9.02 Severability. Any provision of this Amendment held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable shall not impair or invalidate the remainder of this Amendment and the effect thereof shall be confined to the provision so held to be invalid or unenforceable.
     9.03 Successors and Assigns. This Amendment is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Borrower or Credit Party may assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. It is acknowledged and agreed that Bank of America, N.A., has, as successor by merger to LaSalle Bank National Association, succeeded to all of the respective rights and duties of LaSalle Bank National Association as a Lender (including without limitation as the Issuing Lender), and the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.
     9.04 Certain Costs and Expenses. Without in any way limiting the generality of Sections 10.2 or 15.5 of the Credit Agreement, the Parent acknowledges and agrees that it shall (i) promptly pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of all legal counsel retained by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Amendment or the 2011 Warrants or any related documents or any future waiver or modification (or proposed modification or waiver whether or not consummated), if any, of any Loan Document(s) or the Warrants or any related documents (provided that Parent shall not have to pay the allocable costs of internal legal services of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Amendment; provided it is understood and agreed that this parenthetical phrase shall not, and shall not be interpreted to, limit the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to receive the allocable costs of internal legal services with respect to agreements or matters other than the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Amendment), (ii) promptly pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of any legal counsel retained by any of the Lenders in connection with the review or negotiation of the 2011 Warrants or any related warrant document, and (iii) promptly pay all

- 13 -


 

fees of Capstone (as defined in the Modification and Limited Waiver) incurred (at any time) by the Agent whether such fees relate to the Refinancing, discussions with the Loan Parties, the Investment Banker (in the case of the Investment Banker, with respect to matters relating solely to the Refinancing), the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, updates to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, the review of projections or the revised audit report and financial statements referred to in Section 5.01(h) above or other financial matters, or any other matters relating to the Loan Parties and/or Subsidiaries (it is understood and agreed that the $8,361.25 of Capstone fees referred to in Sections 4.01(c) above are with respect to fees incurred through the date hereof and that the Parent shall also be responsible for (and promptly pay upon presentation of invoices by Capstone) any fees of Capstone incurred after the date hereof). The obligations of the Parent under this Section 9.04 shall be considered part of the Parent’s obligations under Section 15.5 of the Credit Agreement.

     9.07 Headings. The headings, captions, and arrangements used in this Amendment are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Amendment.
     9.08 Relationship. The relationship between the Borrowers and other Credit Parties on the one hand and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent on the other hand shall be solely that of borrowers and guarantors, on the one hand, and lender on the other (or, in the case of the Warrants, the relationship is that the Parent is the issuer, and the applicable Lender is the holder, of the applicable Warrant). Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Borrower or other Credit Party arising out of or in connection with this Amendment or any of the other Loan Documents or the Warrants or any related documents, and the relationship between the Borrowers and other Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor (or, in the case of the Warrants, the relationship is that the Parent is the issuer, and the applicable Lender is the holder, of the applicable Warrant). The Borrowers and other Credit Parties acknowledge that they have been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents and the Warrants and any related documents. No joint venture or partnership is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or by the Warrants or related documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents (or the Warrants or related documents) among the Lenders or among the Borrowers (and other Credit Parties) and the Lenders (or the Agent). It is acknowledged and agreed by all Lenders that each Lender is the owner of its individual Warrants which individual Warrants are exercisable by such Lender at its

- 14 -


 

own election. No other Lender (or the Administrative Agent) has any obligations with respect to the Warrants issued to any other Lender or for the performance or content of any Warrants issued to any other Lender.
     9.09 Time is of the Essence. The parties hereto (i) have agreed specifically with regard to the times for performance set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and (ii) acknowledge and agree such times are material to this Amendment and the other Loan Documents. Therefore, time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     9.11 Applicable Law. THIS AMENDMENT AND ALL OTHER AGREEMENTS EXECUTED PURSUANT HERETO (EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ANY SUCH AGREEMENT) SHALL BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED ENTIRELY WITHIN SUCH STATE (INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).
     9.12 Final Agreement. THE CREDIT AGREEMENT (AS AMENDED HEREBY) AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE ENTIRE EXPRESSION OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND THEREOF ON THE DATE THIS AMENDMENT IS EXECUTED. THE CREDIT AGREEMENT (AS AMENDED HEREBY) AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS, THE BORROWERS AND THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT NEITHER ANY LENDER NOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HAS MADE ANY PROMISES OR ASSURANCES WITH RESPECT TO, AND THE BORROWERS AND OTHER CREDIT PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THERE IS NO ORAL AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO, ANY FUTURE AMENDMENT, WAIVER OR OTHER MODIFICATION OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY RESTRUCTURING OR WORKOUT THEREOF OR WITH RESPECT THERETO. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, THE BORROWERS AND OTHER CREDIT PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT (1) THERE IS NO ORAL AGREEMENT AS TO ANY EXTENSION OF THE TERMINATION DATE OR FOR THE EXTENSION OF ANY OTHER DATE FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY OBLIGATIONS (OR FOR ANY EXTENSION OF ANY DATE FOR THE TERMINATION OF ANY COMMITMENTS) AND (2) NO FAILURE OF THE PARENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES TO OBTAIN THE REFINANCING (REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT THE PARENT HAS USED ITS REASONABLE BEST EFFORTS TO OBTAIN THE REFINANCING) SHALL EXCUSE, OR DELAY, THE PAYMENT OF ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS WHEN DUE UNDER THE TERMS OF THE

- 15 -


 

LOAN DOCUMENTS (OR, IN THE CASE OF OBLIGATIONS CONSISTING OF BANK PRODUCT OBLIGATIONS, UNDER THE TERMS OF THE DOCUMENTS EVIDENCING SUCH BANK PRODUCT OBLIGATIONS). NO MODIFICATION, RESCISSION, WAIVER, RELEASE OR AMENDMENT OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE MADE, EXCEPT BY A WRITTEN AGREEMENT SIGNED BY THE BORROWERS AND THE REQUIRED LENDERS AND (WITH RESPECT TO MATTERS AFFECTING THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT) THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND (WITH RESPECT TO MATTERS AFFECTING THE ISSUING LENDER) THE ISSUING LENDER.
     9.13 Release. EACH OF THE BORROWERS AND THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, AS OF THE DATE HEREOF, IT HAS NO DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM, OFFSET, CROSS-COMPLAINT, CLAIM OR DEMAND OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER THAT CAN BE ASSERTED (A) TO REDUCE OR ELIMINATE ALL OR ANY PART OF ITS APPLICABLE LIABILITIES UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, ANY BANK PRODUCT AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY HEDGING AGREEMENT) WITH ANY LENDER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES OR UNDER THE WARRANTS OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT AND/OR (B) TO SEEK AFFIRMATIVE RELIEF OR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE FROM THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS (OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES). EACH OF THE BORROWERS AND THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES HEREBY VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY RELEASES AND FOREVER DISCHARGES THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS, THEIR PREDECESSORS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, FROM ALL POSSIBLE CLAIMS, DEMANDS, ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION, DAMAGES, COSTS, EXPENSES, AND LIABILITIES WHATSOEVER, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, ANTICIPATED OR UNANTICIPATED, SUSPECTED OR UNSUSPECTED, FIXED, CONTINGENT, OR CONDITIONAL, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, ORIGINATING IN WHOLE OR IN PART ON OR BEFORE THE DATE THIS AMENDMENT IS EXECUTED, WHICH SUCH BORROWER OR OTHER CREDIT PARTY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, LENDERS, THEIR PREDECESSORS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, IF ANY, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER ANY SUCH CLAIMS ARISE OUT OF CONTRACT, TORT, VIOLATION OF LAW OR REGULATIONS, OR OTHERWISE, AND ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE IN ANY WAY RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THIS AMENDMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, HEDGING AGREEMENT, BANK PRODUCT AGREEMENT, THE OBLIGATIONS, THE WARRANTS OR ANY RELATED DOCUMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY ANY OF THE FOREGOING DOCUMENTS, OR ANY ACTION OR OMISSION OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER UNDER OR OTHERWISE IN ANY WAY RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING DOCUMENTS. THE BORROWERS AND OTHER CREDIT PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY PROVISION OF STATUTORY OR DECISIONAL LAW TO THE EFFECT THAT A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE RELEASING PARTY(IES) DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN SUCH PARTY’S FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH, IF KNOWN BY SUCH PARTY, MUST OR MIGHT HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED SUCH PARTY’S SETTLEMENT WITH THE RELEASED PARTIES. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL, OR SHALL BE

- 16 -


 

INTERPRETED TO, IMPAIR ANY RIGHTS OF ANY BORROWER (OR OTHER CREDIT PARTY) WITH RESPECT TO ANY DEPOSIT OR OTHER BANK ACCOUNTS OF SUCH BORROWER OR OTHER CREDIT PARTY (OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES) WITH ANY LENDER OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
     9.14 Warrant Value; OID. The Lenders and the Borrowers agree (i) that the aggregate fair market value (as of the date hereof) of all of the 2011 Warrants is equal to $554,836 (allocated as follows: $277,418 for the 2011 Warrant issued to Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as Lender, $110,967 for the 2011 Warrant issued to Webster Bank, National Association, as Lender, and $166,451 for the 2011 Warrant issued to RBS Citizens, N.A., as Lender), (ii) that as a result of (x) the value allocated to the 2011 Warrants pursuant to clause (i) above, as well as (y) the value allocated to the 2010 Warrants and certain interest attributable to the Incremental Margin being payable on the Termination Date, in each case (under this clause (y)) as described in Section 8.14 of Amendment No. 8, the Permanent Loans Notes are deemed, for federal income tax purposes, to be issued with original issue discount (“OID”), as defined in Section 1273(a)(1) of the Code, (iii) that any calculation by any of the Borrowers regarding the amount of OID for any accrual period on such Notes shall be subject to review and approval of the Required Lenders, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, and (iv) to adhere to this Amendment for federal income tax purposes and not to take any action or file any tax return, report or declaration inconsistent herewith (including with respect to the amount of OID on such Notes as determined in accordance with the preceding clause (iii)). It is agreed that the provisions of Section 8.14 of Amendment No. 8 remain in full force and effect. Nothing contained in this paragraph or in such Section 8.14 shall, or shall be interpreted to, limit any obligation of any Borrower under any such Note or under any other Loan Document or of the Parent under the Warrants.
     9.15 Certain Acknowledgments and Representations. Each of the Lenders hereby acknowledges for itself, severally only and not jointly, that (i) the 2011 Warrant issued to it and any shares of Common Stock issuable upon any of its exercise are, as of the date hereof, not registered: (A) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) on the ground that the issuance of the 2011 Warrants is exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Act as not involving any public offering or (B) under any applicable state securities law because the issuance of the 2011 Warrants does not involve any public offering and (ii) the Parent’s reliance on the Section 4(2) exemption of the Act and under applicable state securities laws is predicated in part on the representations severally made below by the Lenders to the Parent. Each Lender, severally only and not jointly, represents and warrants as to itself that it is (i) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Act, (ii) (A) familiar with the business and affairs of the Parent and (B) knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters to the extent that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in a 2011 Warrant and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon their exercise, and (iii) acquiring a 2011 Warrant and will acquire the shares of Common Stock issuable upon its exercise for investment for its own account, with no present intention of dividing its participation with others or reselling or otherwise distributing the same. No breach of any such representation or warranty or other provision of this paragraph shall impair any obligations of the Credit Parties under the Loan Documents.
