(a) Borrowers may voluntarily prepay any or all of the Term Loan Principal Debt from time to time as set out below:

(b) Concurrently with (and in addition to) any and all payments of the Term Loan Principal Debt that are funded on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date other than (x) Annual Excess Cash Flow Prepayments, (y) required quarterly amortization payments pursuant to Section 3.2(b), and (z) as set forth in Sections 2.5(b)(i), 2.5(b)(iii), 2.5(b)(v), 3.7 and 3.8, Borrowers shall pay to Lenders a premium in cash, as follows:

(c) From and after the first day immediately after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrowers may make optional prepayments of the Term Loan Principal Debt without premium or penalty, subject to subsection (a) above.  Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of the Term Notes may not be re-borrowed without the Lenders’ written consent.

(ii) The amount of each Annual Excess Cash Flow Prepayment shall be calculated promptly following completion of Borrowers’ certified annual financial statements provided to Lenders pursuant to Section 8.1(a) with respect to Borrowers’ fiscal year ending on the last day of the applicable Excess Cash Flow Period, and Borrowers shall fund such Annual Excess Cash Flow Prepayment to Lenders no later than twenty (20) days following delivery of such certified annual financial statements to Lenders; provided, that if such certified annual financial statements are not available within 130 days after the last day of such fiscal year, then such Annual Excess Cash Flow Prepayment shall be calculated based on the Borrowers’ internal financial statements for such fiscal year and Borrowers shall fund the Annual Excess Cash Flow Prepayment to Lenders no later than the 130th day after the last day of such fiscal year; provided, further that Borrowers shall fund the amount of any deficiency, if applicable, in the amount of such Annual Excess Cash Flow Prepayment promptly upon receipt of the certified annual financial statements for such fiscal year, and any excess amount, if applicable, shall be returned to Borrowers promptly.
 
 
30

 
 
(iii) All Annual Excess Cash Flow Prepayments shall be applied to reduce the Term Loan Principal Debt in the reverse order of maturity, beginning with the Term Loan Principal Debt due at the Maturity Date.
 
(iv) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “First Year”), Borrowers shall not be required to make aggregate principal payments (including but not limited to any mandatory amortization payments under Section 3.2(b) and any Annual Excess Cash Flow Prepayment made by Borrowers during the First Year) in respect of (A) the Initial Term Loan in an amount exceeding twenty percent (20.00%) of the initial principal amount of the Initial Term Loan or (B) any Additional Term Loan funded by Lenders during the First Year in an amount exceeding twenty percent (20.00%) of the initial principal amount of such Additional Term Loan.
 
(b) Mandatory Prepayments of Proceeds.  At Agent’s election, the following amounts may either be applied to the Obligation in accordance with Section 3.3 or retained by the applicable Borrower:
 
(i) 100% of the proceeds of any post-closing purchase price adjustment received by Borrowers with respect to any Permitted Acquisition;
 
(ii) all Net Proceeds from the sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer of any asset or Equity Securities by any Borrower whether or not permitted by Section 9.9 (other than dispositions permitted under Section 9.9(a), (b), or (c));
 
(iii) all Insurance Proceeds and Eminent Domain Proceeds that relate to any Borrower’s assets and that Lenders are entitled to receive under Section 8.12 (other than Insurance Proceeds used to restore or replace assets of any Borrower as permitted under Section 8.12(c));
 
(iv) all Net Proceeds of the issuance of Equity Securities by any Borrower; and

(b) Each Borrower acknowledges that: (i) the business operations of the Borrowers are interrelated and complement one another, and that such entities have a common business purpose, (ii) to permit their uninterrupted and continuous operations, Borrowers now require the funds from Lenders as set forth in the Loan Documents, and (iii) each Borrower has determined that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents to which such Borrower is a party is within its purpose, will be of direct and indirect benefit to such Borrower, and is in the best interest of such Borrower.
 
Section 3.  Terms Of Payment.
 
3.1. Notes and Payments Generally.
 
(a) Borrowers’ Debt under the Loans shall be evidenced by the Notes.  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grids attached to the Notes (or on any continuation of such grids or, at each Lender’s option, in its records), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of and the outstanding principal balance of the portion of the Loan(s) evidenced thereby.  Such notations shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence of the subject matter thereof absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any obligations of any Borrower.
 
(b) Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, Borrowers must make each payment on the Obligation, without offset, counterclaim or deduction, free and clear of all Taxes (other than Taxes imposed on the net income of Lenders or franchise Taxes) and without any withholding, restriction or condition imposed by any Governmental Authority to Lenders’ designated depositary accounts or to Lenders’ designated principal offices, in funds that will be available for immediate use by Lenders by 11:00 a.m. on the day due.  If any Borrower is required by applicable Law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender, then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.  Borrowers will pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any current or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Loan Document, or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Loan Document that are or would be applicable to the Lenders (“Other Taxes”).  Payments received after the time noted in the first sentence of this subsection (b) will be deemed received on the next Business Day.  Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a date other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.
 
 
32

 
 
(c) Borrowers jointly and severally agree to indemnify each Lender for the full amount of Taxes (other than Taxes imposed on the net income of Lenders or franchise Taxes) and Other Taxes paid by such Lender (including penalties, interest and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto).  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability prepared by such Lender shall be final conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.  Such indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date such Lender makes written demand therefor.  The Borrowers shall have the right to receive that portion of the amount of any refund or credit of any Taxes and Other Taxes a Lender receives or becomes entitled to receive for which any Borrower has previously paid any additional amount or indemnified such Lender, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender in obtaining such refund or credit.  Upon the Borrowers’ request, the applicable Lender shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make any such claim for any refund or credit of any Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that the Borrowers shall reimburse the Lender for any reasonable fees (including legal fees) and expenses incurred in connection with such claim.
 
3.2. Loan Payments.
 
(a) Interest Payments.  Beginning August 1, 2012 and continuing until the Principal Debt is paid in full, accrued interest on the Loans is due and payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month.
 
(b) Mandatory Amortization of Term Loan.  Beginning October 1, 2012, and continuing until the Term Loan Principal Debt is paid in full, Borrowers shall make payments of Term Loan Principal Debt on a quarterly basis (on the first day of each fiscal quarter of Borrowers – i.e., on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1) in an amount equal to $362,500 per fiscal quarter (which is equal to 2.50% of the Initial Term Loan Commitment per fiscal quarter, or 10.00% of the Initial Term Loan Commitment per fiscal year); provided, that in the event that one or more Additional Term Loans are made by Lenders to Borrowers, the amount of each subsequent quarterly amortization payment shall be increased by an amount equal to 2.50% of the initial principal amount of each such Additional Term Loan.
 
(c) Payments at Maturity.  All outstanding Principal Debt and all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Loans are due and payable on the Maturity Date.
 
(d) ACH Authorization Agreements.  Borrowers shall execute and deliver to each Lender an ACH Authorization Agreement and shall make, or cause to be made, all payments under this Section 3.2 when due by (i) ACH transfer or automatic debit from Borrowers’ accounts into each Lender’s respective account as designated on attached Schedule 1 or such other account(s) as any Lender may designate in writing from time to time, or (ii) wire transfer to each Lender’s respective account as designated above, if such Lender requests Borrowers to make such payments by wire transfer.
 
 
33

 
 
3.3. Order of Application.
 
(a) If no Default or Potential Default exists, all payments, permitted prepayments and mandatory prepayments shall be applied as specified in this Agreement, and if not specified, such payments shall be applied among principal, interest, fees, expenses, late charges, collection costs, and other charges under the Loan Documents for which Lenders have not been paid or reimbursed at Agent’s sole discretion.
 
(b) At any time a Default or Potential Default exists, all payments (including the proceeds from the exercise of any rights by Agent, any Lender or Borrower) shall be applied among principal, interest, fees, expenses, late charges, collection costs, and other charges under the Loan Documents for which Lenders have not been paid or reimbursed at Agent’s sole discretion.
 
(c) Unless otherwise agreed to by Lenders, (i) any payment, repayment, permitted prepayment and mandatory prepayment under the Loans shall be applied between the applicable Notes in proportion to the Percentage Interests of the Lenders, and (ii) any repayment or prepayment under the Loans shall be applied to reduce the Borrowers’ applicable Principal Debt repayment obligations in the reverse order of maturity, beginning with the Principal Debt due at the Maturity Date.
 
3.4. Interest Rate.
 
(a) Term Loan Interest Rate.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Term Loan Principal Debt shall accrue interest at a floating annual rate equal to LIBOR plus eight percent (8.00%) per annum (the “Term Loan Interest Rate”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Term Loan Interest Rate shall not at any time be (i) less than ten percent (10.00%) per annum nor (ii) greater than the Maximum Rate.
 
(b) Changes in Maximum Rate.  Each change in the Maximum Rate is effective as of the effective date of such change without notice to Borrowers or any other Person.
 
3.5. Default Rate.  To the extent permitted by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Default, Term Loan Principal Debt shall accrue interest, payable on demand, at an annual rate equal to the lesser of (a) three percent (3.00%) per annum plus the Term Loan Interest Rate and (b) the Maximum Rate (such interest rate, the “Default Rate”).  Subject to Section 3.7, Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Law, in their sole discretion, add accrued and unpaid interest to the Term Loan Principal Debt, as applicable, after any such amount is due in accordance with this Agreement, and such amount will accrue interest until paid at the applicable interest rate.
 
 
34

 
 
3.6. Interest Calculations.  Interest on the Loans and all other amounts due under any Loan Document will be calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) but computed as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days (unless such computation would result in an interest rate in excess of the Maximum Rate or interest in excess of the Maximum Amount, in which event the computation is made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be).  All interest rate determinations and calculations by Lenders are presumptively correct absent manifest error.
 
3.7. Maximum Rate.  Regardless of any provision in any Loan Document, it is the intention of Borrowers and Lenders that Lenders not (a) contract for, charge, take, reserve, receive, or apply, as interest on all or any part of the Obligation any amount in excess of the Maximum Rate or the Maximum Amount or (b) receive any unearned interest, in violation of any applicable Law.  If any acceleration of the maturity of the Notes or any payment under the Loan Documents produces a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate, or if Lenders shall for any reason receive any such unearned interest, or if any transaction contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document would otherwise be usurious under applicable Law, then (i) the aggregate of all interest under applicable usury laws that is contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, received or applied under this Agreement, or under any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise shall under no circumstances exceed the Maximum Amount, (ii) no Borrower nor any other Person shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the Maximum Amount, (iii) any excess or unearned interest shall be deemed to be and shall be treated as a partial prepayment or repayment of principal (not subject to any prepayment premium under Section 2.4) and any remaining excess or unearned interest will be refunded to Borrowers, and (iv) the provisions of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents immediately shall be deemed reformed, without the necessity of the execution of any new document or instrument, so as to comply with all applicable usury laws.  In determining whether interest paid or payable exceeds the Maximum Rate or the Maximum Amount, Borrowers and Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law (w) treat all Loans as a single extension of credit (Lenders and Borrowers agree that such is the case), (x) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (y) exclude voluntary prepayments or repayments and their effects, and (z) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligation.  However, if the Obligation is paid in full before the end of its full contemplated term, and if the interest received for its actual period of existence exceeds the Maximum Rate or the Maximum Amount, Lenders shall refund any excess (and Lenders may not, to the extent permitted by Law, be subject to any penalties provided by any Laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest in excess of the Maximum Amount).  If the applicable Law is amended in the future to allow a greater rate of interest to be charged under this Agreement than is presently allowed by applicable Law, then the “Maximum Rate” shall be increased to the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable Law as amended, which increase shall be effective hereunder on the effective date of such amendment, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
 
3.8. Cost of Money Ceiling.  If the “cost of money” (including interest and certain prepayment penalties and other consideration, as more fully defined in 13 C.F.R. §107.855) payable on the Loans is in excess of the maximum permissible rate (the “SBA Maximum Rate”) permitted under 13 C.F.R. §107.855, that is the greater of nineteen percent or the cost of money ceiling calculated pursuant to that section, then at the election of any Lender (a) any “cost of money” payable on the Loans in excess of that SBA Maximum Rate shall be treated as a repayment of principal (not subject to any prepayment premium under Section 2.4), (b) any remaining cost of money will be refunded to Borrowers, and (c) the provisions of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents immediately shall be deemed reformed, without the necessity of the execution of any new document or instrument, so as to comply with 13 C.F.R. §107.855.
 
 
35

 
 
Section 4.  Fees and Expenses.
 
4.1. Treatment of Fees and Expenses.  To the extent permitted by Law, the fees and expenses described in this Section 4 (a) do not constitute compensation for the use, detention, or forbearance of money, (b) are in addition to, and not in lieu of, interest and expenses otherwise described in this Agreement, (c) are payable in accordance with Section 3.1(b), (d) are non-refundable, (e) accrue interest, if not paid when due, at the Default Rate for the Term Loan Principal Debt, and (f) are calculated on the basis of actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day), but computed as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days (unless computation would result in an interest rate in excess of the Maximum Rate or interest in excess of the Maximum Amount, in which event the computation is made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be); provided, that the fees described in this Section 4 are in all events subject to the provisions of Sections 3.7 and 3.8.
 
4.2. Structuring and Closing Fees.
 
(a) Tranche A Loan.  On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall pay to Lenders (i) a structuring fee with respect to the Tranche A Loan in an amount equal to $145,000.00, which is equal to one percent (1.00%) of the Initial Term Loan Commitment, and (ii) a closing fee with respect to the Tranche A Loan in an amount equal to $290,000.00, which is equal to two percent (2.00%) of the Initial Term Loan Commitment.
 
(b) Tranche B Loan.  On the Loan Date for any Additional Term Loan, Borrowers shall pay to Lenders (i) a structuring fee with respect to such Additional Term Loan in an amount equal to one percent (1.00%) of such Additional Term Loan, and (ii) a closing fee with respect to such Additional Term Loan in an amount equal to two percent (2.00%) of such Additional Term Loan.
 
(c) Other Fees and Expenses.  On the date of each advance of a Loan to Borrowers, Borrowers shall pay in cash to Lenders any other fees and expenses provided for in Section 8.11 hereof (net of any expense deposit).
 
(d) Payment.  The fees and expenses payable by Borrowers to Lenders under this Section 4.2 shall be paid in cash or netted against the proceeds of the Loans, at the sole discretion of Lenders.

(vi) to the best of Borrowers’ knowledge, no officer or employee of the Borrowers has entered into any agreement which is now in effect with any person, corporation, partnership or business organization other than Borrowers requiring such person to assign any interest in any invention or trade secrets or to keep confidential any trade secrets or other proprietary information or containing any prohibition or restriction on competition or solicitation of customers.

8.7. Maintenance of Existence, Assets, and Business.  Except as otherwise permitted by Section 9.6, each Borrower will (a) preserve and maintain its existence and good standing in its jurisdiction of organization and its authority to transact business and good standing in all other jurisdictions where the nature and extent of its business and properties require due qualification and good standing; (b) maintain all licenses, permits and franchises necessary for its business where failure to do so is a Material Adverse Event; and (c) keep all of its assets that are useful in and necessary to its business in good working order and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and make all necessary repairs and replacements.  Each Borrower shall (i) perform all of such Borrower’s duties under and in connection with each transaction to which any of its accounts receivable, accounts, or contracts relates, so that the amounts thereof (net of any reserves established in the ordinary course of business in respect of such accounts receivable, accounts, or contracts) shall actually become payable in their entirety to such Borrower, (ii) maintain and store all its inventory with reasonable care, skill, and caution and repair and otherwise keep the same in good condition, and (iii) not relocate such Borrower’s chief executive office (or the location of such Borrower’s books and records related to accounts) or any of such Borrower’s inventory, to a county, parish, or state other than those listed on Schedule 7.13 unless such Borrower gives Lenders thirty (30) days prior written notice of such proposed relocation (such notice to include the address with the name of the county or parish and state of the new location).
 
8.8. Insurance.
 
(a) Borrowers shall maintain insurance with financially sound, responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations (or, as to workers’ compensation or similar insurance, with an insurance fund or by self insurance authorized by the jurisdictions in which it operates) in such amounts and against such risks as is (i) required by all applicable Laws, (ii) customarily maintained by similar businesses operating in the same geographic region, and (iii) with respect to the Collateral, reasonably acceptable to Agent.
 
(b) At a minimum, Borrowers’ insurance must include (i) the Key Man Life Insurance, (ii) business interruption insurance, (iii) fire, property damage and extended coverage insurance covering all assets and naming Agent as mortgagee or loss payee, as applicable, (iv) workers compensation insurance and (v) public liability insurance naming Agent as an additional insured as its interest may appear, and, with respect to each such insurance policy, providing for at least thirty (30) days prior notice to Agent of any cancellation thereof.  Satisfactory evidence of such insurance must be supplied to Agent on the Closing Date and at least five (5) days prior to each policy renewal at Agent’s request.  All such insurance policies shall be primary, and not excess or contributory, to any policies of insurance that are maintained by Lenders.
 
 
56

 
 
(c) Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Agent collateral assignments, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, of each business interruption insurance policy maintained by Borrowers.  With regard to workers’ compensation insurance, nothing contained in this Section 8.8 shall prohibit Borrowers from becoming a non-subscriber with the prior written consent of Agent.
 
(d) Unless the Borrowers provide Agent with evidence of the continuing insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Agent may purchase insurance at the Borrowers’ expense to protect Agent’s interests in the Collateral.  This insurance may, but need not, protect the Borrowers’ interests.  The coverage that Agent purchases may, but need not, pay any claim that is made against any Borrower in connection with the Collateral.  Borrowers may later cancel any insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent with evidence that Borrowers have obtained the insurance coverage required by this Agreement.  If Agent purchases insurance for the Collateral as set forth above, Borrowers will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and any other charges that may be imposed with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance, and the costs of the insurance may be added to the principal amount of the Loans owing hereunder.
 
8.9. Further Assurances.
 
(a) Each Borrower shall cause each of its Subsidiaries created or acquired after the Closing Date, within five (5) days of such Subsidiary’s creation or acquisition by such Borrower, to execute and deliver to Agent and Lenders a joinder to this Agreement, substantially in the form of Exhibit Q hereto, agreeing to become a Borrower under this Agreement, a “Debtor” under the Security Agreement and a “Maker” under the Notes (a “Joinder Agreement”).
 
(b) Each Borrower shall take such action as Agent or any Lender may reasonably request to carry out more effectively the terms of Section 6 and all other terms of the Loan Documents, including executing, acknowledging, delivering and recording or filing additional instruments or documents.  Each Borrower will promptly execute and deliver, or cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certificates, instruments, registration statements and all other documents and papers Agent or any Lender reasonably requests in connection with the obtaining of any consent, approval, registration, qualification, permit, license or authorization of any Governmental Authority or other Person necessary or appropriate for the effective exercise of any rights under the Loan Documents.  Because Borrowers agree that Agent’s and the Lenders’ remedies at Law for failure of Borrowers to comply with the provisions of this section would be inadequate and that failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, Borrowers agree that the covenants of this Section 8.9 may be specifically enforced.
 
(c) Within ten (10) days following the Closing Date, Borrowers shall deliver to Agent:
 
 
57

 
 
(i) the Convertible Note Subordination Agreement, duly executed by each Subordinated Lender (as defined therein) and the Company;

8.13. Use of Proceeds.  Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Loans only for the purposes represented in Section 7.14 or otherwise in this Agreement.
 
8.14. Board of Directors.  For so long as all or any portion of the Loans or any other Obligation remains outstanding and until all commitments of Lenders hereunder have been terminated or expired:

(i) subject to subsection (ii) below, the exercise of any right or remedy; the grant of any waiver, consent, agreement, approval, authorization or acceptance; the execution and delivery of any document, agreement or instrument; the making of any request, election, designation or requirement; the receipt of notice of any event or of delivery of any document; and the taking of any other action by or on behalf of “Lender” or “Lenders” under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require only the action or approval of the Agent, and Borrowers shall be entitled to rely on any of the foregoing actions and approvals by Agent as being the valid action or approval of Agent on behalf of Lenders; and
 
 
71

 
 
(ii) except as set forth in Section 13.10 (with respect to certain Collateral matters), Agent shall not take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers without the consent or approval of Required Lenders.
 
13.2. Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, make equity investments in, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders.
 
13.3. Exculpatory Provisions.  Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set out herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent:
 
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing;
 
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers;
 
(c) shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law;

(e) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Lenders or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default or Potential Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Potential Default is given to Agent by Borrowers or a Lender.  Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set out herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Potential Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set out in Section 5 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent.
 
 
72

 
 
13.4. Reliance by Agent.  Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.  Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for one or more Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
 
13.5. Delegation of Duties.  Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Agent.  Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Affiliates.  The exculpatory provisions of this Section 13 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.
 
13.6. Resignation; Removal of Agent.
 
(a) Agent may at any time give written notice of its resignation to Lenders.  Agent may also be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of Lenders holding a majority of the Percentage Interests.
 
(b) Upon the resignation or removal of Agent pursuant to this Section 13.6, Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrowers, to appoint, by vote of a majority of the Percentage Interests, a successor, which may be any other Lender or any other Person selected by vote of Lenders holding majority of the Percentage Interests.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the resignation or removal of the Agent, then the resigning or removed Agent (the “Retiring Agent”) may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set out above; provided that if Agent shall notify a Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (i) the Retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Retiring Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the Retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section.
 
 
73

 
 
(c) Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the “Agent”, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  After the Retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 13 and Section 8.6 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such Retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the Retiring Agent was acting as Agent.
 
13.7. Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
 
13.8. No Other Duties, Etc.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender shall have any duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as Agent, Lender or both.
 
13.9. Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower, Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
 
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due Lenders and Agent under Sections 8.6 and 8.11) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
 
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
 
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Agent and to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent under Sections 8.6 and 8.11.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligation or the rights of any Lender or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
 
 
74

 
 
13.10. Collateral Matters.
 
(a) Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs Agent to enter into the Security Documents, the ADI Seller Note Subordination Agreement, the Legiant Seller Note Subordination Agreement and the Convertible Note Subordination Agreement for the benefit of such Lender.  Each Lender also authorizes Agent to enter into Subordination Agreements with respect to any other Subordinated Debt, whether in existence as of the Closing Date or created, incurred or assumed at any time following the Closing Date.  Each Lender hereby agrees, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance thereof will be deemed to agree, that, except as otherwise set out in Section 14.8(a), any action taken by the Agent, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Security Documents and any Subordination Agreement, and the exercise by the Agent of the powers set out herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.  Agent is hereby authorized (but not obligated) on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender from time to time, to take any action with respect to any Collateral, the Security Documents or any Subordination Agreement which may be necessary to (i) perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to the Security Documents, (ii) subordinate any Subordinated Debt (and any Liens securing any such Subordinated Debt) to the Obligations (and the Liens securing the Obligations), and (iii) exercise Agent’s rights and remedies and enforce the covenants and obligations of any Borrower or any holder of Subordinated Debt under any Subordination Agreement.
 
(b) Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon payment in full of the Loans and all other Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and termination of the Term Loan Commitment and any other commitment by Lenders hereunder, (ii) that is sold or to be sold as part of or in connection with any sale permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (iii) subject to Section 14.8(a), if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Lenders, or (iv) in connection with any foreclosure sale or other disposition of Collateral after the occurrence of a Default.  Upon request by Agent at any time, each Lender will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release its interest in particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 13.10.
 
(c) Subject to subsection (b) above, Agent shall (and is hereby authorized by each Lender to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Agent for the benefit of Agent and Lenders herein or pursuant to this Agreement upon the applicable Collateral; provided that (i) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to or create any liability or entail any consequence other than the release or subordination of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligation or any Liens upon any interests retained by Borrowers or any other Person, including the proceeds of the sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.  In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, Agent shall be authorized to deduct all expenses reasonably incurred by Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.
 
 
75

 
 
(d) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or any other Person to ensure that the Collateral exists or is owned by a Borrower or any other Person or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Agent herein or in any of the Security Documents or pursuant to this Agreement or thereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 13.10 or in any of the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders.
 
(e) Each Lender hereby appoints Agent and each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting such Lender’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC can be perfected only by possession.  Should any Lender (other than Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.
