AGREEMENT

The parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with GAAP, and calculations and determinations shall be made following GAAP, consistently applied. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth on Exhibit A. All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein. As used in the Loan Documents, the word “shall” is mandatory, the word “may” is permissive, the word “or” is not exclusive, the words “includes” and “including” are not limiting, the singular includes the plural, and numbers denoting amounts that are set off in brackets are negative. Unless otherwise specified, all references in this Agreement or any Annex or Schedule hereto to a “Section,” “subsection,” “Exhibit,” “Annex,” or “Schedule” shall refer to the corresponding Section, subsection, Exhibit, Annex, or Schedule in or to this Agreement. For purposes of the Loan Documents, whenever a representation or warranty is made to a Person’s knowledge or awareness, knowledge or awareness means the actual knowledge, after reasonable investigation, of any Responsible Officer of such Person. As appropriate, amounts specified herein as amounts in dollars shall be or include any relevant Dollar Equivalent amount.

2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1 Promise to Pay. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay each Lender, ratably, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, accrued and unpaid interest, fees and charges thereon and to pay all other Obligations, in each case, as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

2.2 Availability and Repayment of the Loan.

(a) Availability.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make to Borrowers an advance on the Closing Date in principal amount equal to its Term Loan Commitment (the “Term Loan”) less the Original Issue Discount. Lenders’ commitments to make the Term Loan shall terminate upon the funding of the Term Loan on the Closing Date.

(ii) For greater certainty, the Original Issue Discount shall be deemed to be part of the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan.

Borrowers shall use the proceeds of the Term Loan for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Once repaid, the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

For the avoidance of doubt, other than the incurrence of the Term Loan on the Closing Date, Borrowers are not under any obligation to request or borrow any other Term Loan from Lenders.

(b) Repayment.

(i) Amortization. Commencing on the Amortization Date and continuing thereafter on each Payment Date through the Term Loan Maturity Date, Borrowers shall make consecutive monthly payments of Two Hundred and Thirty Five Thousand dollars ($235,000) per month plus interest. Any and all unpaid Obligations, including principal and accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Term Loan, any fees and any other sums due hereunder, if any, shall be due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Term Loan may only be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.2(c) or (d).

(ii) Collateral Monitoring Charge. Borrower will pay the Collateral Monitoring Charge in arrears, on the last Business Day for each month, beginning on the Closing Date.

(c) Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration. If (x) the Loan is accelerated following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or (y) there occurs a Change in Control, Borrowers shall immediately pay to Lenders, an amount equal to the sum of:

(i) all outstanding principal of the Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus

(ii) the Prepayment Premium, plus

(iii) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

(d) Permitted Prepayment of Loan. Borrowers shall have the option to prepay the outstanding Loan, in whole or in part, provided that Borrowers give written notice to JGB Agent of their election to prepay the Loan at least five (5) Business Days prior to such prepayment, and pay, on the date of such prepayment, to Lenders, ratably, an amount equal to the sum of:

(i) all outstanding principal of the Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus

(ii) the Prepayment Premium (which amount shall be pro-rated with respect to the principal amount of the Loan being prepaid in the event the Borrowers prepay less than the full outstanding principal balance of the Loan), plus

(iii) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

2.3 Payment of Interest.

(a) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall accrue interest from and after the Closing Date, at the Applicable Rate, and Borrowers shall pay such interest monthly in arrears on each Payment Date commencing on the first Payment Date after the Closing Date.

(b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Applicable Rate shall be increased by four percentage points (4.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrowers pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Lender Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable at such time to the Loan. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that interest at the Default Rate is a reasonable calculation of Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an Event of Default.

(c) Payment; Interest Computation. Interest is payable monthly in arrears on each Payment Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest, (i) all payments received after 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on any day shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day and (ii) the date of the making of the Term Loan shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded.

(d) Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that a Borrower has actually paid to or for the benefit of Lenders an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrowers shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of principal outstanding in respect of the Loan; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of accrued interest, third, to the payment of Lender Expenses and any other Obligations; and fourth, after all Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrowers or paid to whomsoever may be legally entitled thereto, provided that amounts payable to Lenders, shall be paid ratably.

2.4 Original Issue Discount and Expenses.

(a) Original Issue Discount. The Term Loan will be funded with an original discount of nine percent (9%) of the principal amount of the Term Loan (the “Original Issue Discount”), which is $1,000,000. The Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the Original Issue Discount is not a fee for services, but compensation to the Lenders for the foregone use of money. All Original Issue Discount shall be fully earned by the Lenders on the Closing Date.

(b) Expenses. Borrower shall pay to JGB Agent and/or Lenders as applicable, all Lender Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) incurred through and after the Closing Date, when due (or, if no stated due date, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand by JGB Agent), provided that (i) the deposit in the amount of Seventy Five Thousand dollars ($75,000) previously paid (the “Good Faith Deposit”) shall be applied towards Lender Expenses incurred through the Closing Date and (ii) Lender Expenses incurred through the Closing Date in connection with the documentation of the Term Loan shall not exceed One Hundred and Thirty Thousand dollars ($130,000) without the prior written consent of the Borrowers (the “Cap”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Cap shall not apply with respect to Lender Expenses incurred after the Closing Date for the monitoring or administering of the Term Loan, any amendments, modifications or waivers of the Loan Documents or any enforcement of the Loan Documents or action taken to collect the Term Loan.

2.5 Payments; Application of Payments; Withholding.

(a) All payments to be made by Loan Parties under any Loan Document, including payments of principal and interest and all fees, charges, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made to one or more accounts identified by the Lenders in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim, before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.

(b) Payments received by Lenders will be applied (i) first, if a voluntary prepayment, to the Prepayment Premium, (ii) second, to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan, (iii) third, to interest outstanding that is then due and payable, and (iv) fourth, to the other Obligations outstanding. Upon and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Lenders have the exclusive right to determine the order and manner in which all payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied. During the continuation of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which the Lenders shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by any Borrower the Lenders or otherwise received by the Lenders under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

(c) The parties hereto hereby agree to the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 3 hereto.

2.6 Promissory Notes. Borrowers agree that: (a) on the Closing Date the Borrowers shall deliver a promissory note to each requesting Lender to evidence the Loan and other Obligations owing or payable to such Lender, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, and (b) upon any Lender’s written request, and in any event within three (3) Business Days of any such request, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender new notes and/or divide the notes in exchange for then existing notes in such smaller amounts or denominations as such Lender shall specify in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of such new notes shall not exceed the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loan made by such Lender; provided, further, that such promissory notes that are to be replaced shall then be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder and replaced by such new notes and returned to the Borrowers promptly upon the applicable Lender’s receipt of the replacement notes (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of any such request). Whether or not any such promissory notes are issued, this Agreement shall nonetheless evidence the Loan and other Obligations owing or payable by Borrowers to each Lender.

No Loan Party owns any stock, partnership, or other ownership interest or other Equity Interests except for Permitted Investments.

As of the date hereof, no Loan Party is aware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any prior tax years of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries which could result in a material amount of additional Taxes becoming due and payable by a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries.

5.10 [Reserved.]

5.11 Compliance with Laws.

(a) No Loan Party is or has been in violation of any statute, rule, ordinance or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Loan Party, including without limitation all foreign, federal, state and local laws relating to taxes, environmental protection, occupational health and safety, product quality and safety and employment and labor matters, applicable to such Loan Party, except in each case as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) No Loan Party is required to register as an “investment company”, as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended.

None of the proceeds of the Loan have been (or will be) used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose which might cause the Loan to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. Further and for the avoidance of doubt, no Loan Party or Subsidiary of a Loan Party currently owns any Margin Stock.

(d) Neither the making of the Loan hereunder nor Loan Parties’ use of the proceeds thereof will violate the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto. No Loan Party, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any Affiliate of any Loan Party or of any Subsidiary, nor any controlling holder of Equity Interests of any of the foregoing (i) is a Person described or designated in the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List of the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of Treasury (“OFAC”) or in Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order or similar sanctions laws of any other Governmental Authority including of any other applicable jurisdiction, (ii) is a resident of any country that is subject to embargo or trade sanctions enforced by OFAC, (iii) is, or will become, a Person whose property or interest in property is blocked or subject to blocking pursuant to Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order, or (iv) engages in any dealings or transactions, or is otherwise associated, with any such Person.

(e) Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries are in compliance, in all material respects, with the USA Patriot Act. No part of the proceeds from the Loan made hereunder has been (or will be) used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended or similar laws of any other Governmental Authority including of any other applicable jurisdiction.

5.12 [Reserved.]

5.13 Full Disclosure. No written representation, warranty or other statement of a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in any certificate or written statement by or on behalf of a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement, as of the date such representation, warranty, or other statement was made, taken together with all such written certificates and written statements given, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained in the certificates or statements, taken as a whole, not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made (it being recognized that the projections and forecasts provided by any Loan Party in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results, and such differences may be material).

8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

Any one of the following events that continues beyond any applicable notice and cure period, if any, shall constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”) under this Agreement:

During such cure period, the failure to make or pay any payment specified under clause (b) hereunder is not an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, no Event of Default shall occur or be deemed to occur as a result of the failure by JGB Agent or any Lender to fund interest payments as and when due from any available balance in the JGB Account. For clarity, nothing herein shall be construed to diminish the Loan Parties’ obligation to make interest payments once the JGB Account has no available funds.

(c) A Loan Party fails or neglects to perform, keep, or observe any other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any Loan Documents, and as to any default (other than those specified in clause (a) and (b) of this Section 8) under such other term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement that can be cured, has failed to cure the default within twenty (20) days after the earlier of: (i) notice of the occurrence thereof has been given to the Borrower Representative by the JGB Agent or (ii) the date which a Loan Party knew thereof.

8.8 Misrepresentations. Any Loan Party or any Person acting for such Loan Party makes any representation, warranty, or other statement now or later in this Agreement, any Loan Document or in any writing delivered to JGB Agent or any Lender or to induce JGB Agent or any Lender to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document, and such representation, warranty, or other statement is incorrect in any material respect when made (it being agreed and acknowledged by Bank that the projections and forecasts provided by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in good faith and based upon reasonable assumptions are not viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results, and such differences may be material).

Except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each Loan Party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in New York County, City of New York, New York; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude JGB Agent from enforcing a judgment or other court order in favor of JGB Agent or any Lender. Each Loan Party expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Loan Party hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each Loan Party hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such Loan Party at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by such Loan Party in accordance with, Section 10 and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Loan Parties’ actual receipt thereof or three (3) Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid. Each Loan Party hereby expressly waives any claim to assert that the laws of any other jurisdiction govern this Agreement.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANYWHERE ELSE, EACH LOAN PARTY AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT SEEK FROM JGB AGENT OR ANY LENDER UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING ANY THEORY IN TORTS), ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12. GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1 Termination; Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist and any other obligations which, by their express terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been satisfied in full, in cash.

12.2 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party (subject to the requirements and limitations herein, including the requirements under Section 7 of Schedule 3). No Loan Party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without JGB Agent’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in JGB Agent’s discretion). Each Lender, with the prior written consent of Borrower Representative, has the right to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, such Lender’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required (x) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (y) with respect to any sale, transfer, assignment, negotiation, or participation to any Affiliate of JGB Agent that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans, bonds and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its activities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, no Lender shall assign its interest in the Loan and Loan Documents to any Disqualified Lender and (b) in no event shall any Lender assign its interest in the Loan and Loan Documents to any competitor of any Loan Party.

(b) Assignment by Lenders. Each Lender may at any time assign to one or more eligible assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its commitment and the Loan at the time owing to it), subject to any restrictions on such assignment set forth in clause (a) above and the other Loan Documents; provided that any such assignee shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Schedule 3, with respect to any interest acquired in a Lender’s obligations, rights and benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including the Term Loan or Obligation hereunder, than such Lender would have been entitled to receive. Each such Lender shall notify the JGB Agent of such assignment and deliver to the JGB Agent a copy of any assignment and assumption agreement entered into in connection thereto.

(c) Register; Participant Register. JGB Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Term Loan owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, JGB Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Loan Parties, any Lender and JGB Agent at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Loan Parties, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Term Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, JGB Agent (in its capacity as administrative agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. For the avoidance of doubt, no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Schedule 3, with respect to any participation acquired in a Lender’s obligations, rights and benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including the Term Loan or Obligation hereunder, than such Lender would have been entitled to receive.

12.3 Indemnification. Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold JGB Agent and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Lender (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (including such claims, costs, reasonable expenses, damages and liabilities based on liability in tort, including strict liability in tort) (collectively, “Claims”) claimed or asserted by any third party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, except for Claims and/or losses to the extent directly caused by or resulting from, (x) such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct and (y) any dispute solely among Indemnified Persons. This Section 12.3 shall survive until all statutes of limitation with respect to the Claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is given shall have run and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall survive the resignation or replacement of JGB Agent. This Section 12.3 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

12.4 Borrower Liability. Each Borrower hereunder shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay the Loan made hereunder, regardless of which Borrower actually receives said Loan, as if each Borrower hereunder directly received the Loan. Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship defenses (other than the defense of indefeasible payment) available to it under the Code or any other applicable law, and (b) any right to require JGB Agent to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. JGB Agent may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of JGB Agent under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by such Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by such Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Lenders and such payment shall be promptly delivered to JGB Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

12.5 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.

12.6 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.

12.7 [Reserved.]

12.8 Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, shall be effective except, pursuant to an agreement in writing by the parties thereto, and in case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement in writing entered into by Loan Parties, JGB Agent, the Required Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations among the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents.

The provisions of this Section 12.16 are solely for the benefit of JGB Agent and Lenders and no Loan Party nor any other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, JGB Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Loan Party or any other Person. JGB Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably related thereto. The duties of JGB Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature and JGB Agent shall not have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender.

(b) If JGB Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then JGB Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until it shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders, and JGB Agent shall incur no liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. JGB Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document for any reason. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against JGB Agent as a result of JGB Agent’s acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of Lenders.

(c) JGB Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by JGB Agent. JGB 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 related parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 12.16 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the related parties of JGB Agent and any such sub-agent. JGB Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that JGB Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

(d) Neither JGB Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for damages solely caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, JGB Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel, independent chartered accountants and other experts and consultants selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants, experts or consultants; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Loan Party or to inspect the Collateral (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by email) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

(e) With respect to its Commitments and Loan hereunder, JGB Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not JGB Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include JGB Agent in its individual capacity (to the extent it holds any Obligations owing to Lenders or Commitments hereunder). JGB Agent and each of its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any of their Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Affiliate, all as if JGB Agent was not JGB Agent and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. JGB Agent and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

(f) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon JGB Agent or any other Lender, made its own credit and financial analysis of the Loan Parties and its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon JGB Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of each other Lender as a result of Lenders holding disproportionate interests in the Loan, and expressly consents to, and waives any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.

(g) Each Lender agrees to indemnify JGB Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Loan Parties and without limiting the obligations of Loan Parties hereunder), ratably according to its respective Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against JGB Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by JGB Agent in connection therewith; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from JGB Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse JGB Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented counsel fees) incurred by JGB Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Loan Document, to the extent that JGB Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Loan Parties.

(h) JGB Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers. Upon any such resignation, Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor JGB Agent. If no successor JGB Agent shall have been so appointed by Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after JGB Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then JGB Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor JGB Agent, which shall be a Lender, if a Lender is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution if such commercial bank or financial institution has combined capital of at least $300,000,000. If no successor JGB Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, by the 30^th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning JGB Agent, such resignation shall become effective and Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of JGB Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Lenders appoint a successor JGB Agent as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as JGB Agent hereunder by a successor JGB Agent, such successor JGB Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning JGB Agent. Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as JGB Agent hereunder by a successor JGB Agent or the effective date of the resigning JGB Agent’s resignation, the resigning JGB Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except that any indemnity, expense reimbursement or other rights in favor of such resigning JGB Agent shall continue. After any resigning JGB Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.16 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was JGB Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as JGB Capital, LP, JGB Partners, LP and JGB (Cayman) Port Ellen Ltd. are each Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, JGB Collateral LLC shall not resign as JGB Agent unless a successor JGB Agent is appointed concurrently with such resignation, which successor JGB Agent shall have the wherewithal to perform, and shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning JGB Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(i) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, with the prior written consent of JGB Agent, each Lender and each holder of any Obligation is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Loan Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Loan Party or such Subsidiary) and any other properties or assets any time held or owing by that Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party against and on account of any of the Obligations which are not paid when due. Any Lender or holder of any Obligation exercising a right to set off or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement relating to the priority of the repayment of the Obligations shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so set off or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement relating to the priority of the repayment of the Obligations. Each Loan Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (i) any Lender or holder may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may sell participations in such amount so set off to other Lenders and holders and (ii) any Lender or holders so purchasing a participation in the Loan made or other Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of set-off, bankers’ Lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Loan and the other Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the set-off amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from Lender that has exercised the right of set-off, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.

(j) Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require JGB Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. To the extent that JGB Agent advances funds to Borrowers on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such advance is made, JGB Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such advance until reimbursed by the applicable Lender.

(k) If JGB Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by such JGB Agent from Borrowers and such related payment is not received thereby, then such JGB Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(l) If JGB Agent determines at any time that any amount received thereby under this Agreement shall be returned to Borrowers or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, JGB Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to JGB Agent on demand any portion of such amount that JGB Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as JGB Agent is required to pay to Borrowers or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(m) JGB Agent will use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any written notice of Event of Default received by JGB Agent from, or delivered by JGB Agent to, any Loan Party; provided, however, that JGB Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable solely to JGB Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(n) Anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender and with JGB Agent that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including exercising any rights of set-off) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of JGB Agent at the request of Required Lenders.

12.17 Confidentiality. In handling any Confidential Information, JGB Agent and Lenders agree to exercise the same degree of care that they exercise for their own proprietary information and they shall not disclose Confidential Information to any other Person or entity in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Borrower Representative, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to its employees, officers, directors, managers, auditors, consultants, attorneys, accountants, financing sources, Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates so long that such recipient of such information either (i) agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this Section or (ii) is otherwise subject to confidentiality terms not more permissive than the terms hereof; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loan (other than any Disqualified Lender, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) provided, that such prospective transferee or purchaser or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by this Section prior to disclosure; (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order and in connection with reporting obligations applicable to JGB Agent or any Lender, including pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (in which case such Person agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law or such compulsory legal process, to use commercially reasonable efforts to inform Borrower Representative thereof prior to such disclosure); (d) to JGB Agent or any Lender’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with any examination or audit; (e) as JGB Agent or any Lender considers necessary in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the Obligations; and (f) to third-party service providers of JGB Agent or Lenders so long as such service providers are bound by confidentiality terms not more permissive than the terms hereof. Confidential Information does not include information that is either: (i) in the public domain or in JGB Agent or any Lender’s possession when disclosed to JGB Agent or such Lender, as applicable, or becomes part of the public domain (other than as a result of its disclosure by JGB Agent or such Lender in violation of this Agreement) after disclosure to JGB Agent or such Lender, as applicable; (ii) disclosed to JGB Agent or any Lender by a third party, if JGB Agent or such Lender, as applicable, does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information or (iii) was independently developed by JGB Agent or Lenders without reference to the Confidential Information. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

In furtherance of the foregoing, and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) each Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of such Guarantor and shall not be contingent upon any exercise or enforcement of any remedy of any Secured Party or that any Secured Party may have against a Borrower, or any other Guarantor or other Person liable in respect of the Obligations, or all or any portion of the Collateral; and

(b) JGB Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may enforce this guaranty notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Secured Party and any Loan Party with respect to the existence of any Event of Default.

13.2 Maximum Liability. Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) the maximum liability of each Guarantor shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal or state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 13.5) and (b) the maximum liability of Parent shall in no event exceed the Maximum Guaranty Amount.

13.3 Termination. The guaranty pursuant to this Section 13 shall remain in full force and effect until the date the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist) have been paid in full in cash.

13.4 Unconditional Nature of Guaranty. No payment made by a Borrower, Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Secured Party from a Borrower, Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum outstanding liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the date the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist) are paid in full in cash.

13.5 Right of Contribution

(a) If in connection with any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder any rights of contribution arise in favor of such Guarantor against one or more other Guarantors, such rights of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 13.6. The provisions of this Section 13.5 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor pursuant to the Loan Documents, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by any Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Secured Party against any Loan Party or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Loan Party in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, in each case, until the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the time that the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist) are paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to JGB Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to JGB Agent, if required), to be applied to the Obligations, irrespective of the occurrence or the continuance of any Event of Default.

13.6 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by any Secured Party may be rescinded and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Secured Party, and this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with their respective terms, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for the guarantee pursuant to this Section 13 or any property subject thereto.

13.7 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional; Guarantor Waivers; Guarantor Consent. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon the guaranty contained in this Section 13 or acceptance of this guaranty. The Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this guaranty. All dealings between Borrowers, Guarantors and any Secured Party shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guaranty. Each Guarantor further waives:

(a) diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Borrower or any of the other Guarantors with respect to the Obligations;

(b) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection or performance of the Obligations;

(c) any defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate or other authority or any other defense of any Borrower, such Guarantor or any other Person;

(e) any rights to set-offs and counterclaims;

(f) any defense based upon an election of remedies (including, if available, an election to proceed by nonjudicial foreclosure) which destroys or impairs the subrogation rights of such Guarantor or the right of such Guarantor to proceed against any Borrower or any other obligor of the Obligations for reimbursement; and

(g) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses (other than a defense of indefeasible payment) or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law that limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Agreement.

Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 13 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guaranty or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower or any other Person against any Secured Party, or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Loan Party) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Borrower for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under this guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance, (iv) any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party or any other Person, (v) any amalgamation, merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of any Loan Party or any other Person, or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the assets or Equity Interests of any Loan Party or any other Person, (vi) any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Secured Parties’ interests in and rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), including the right to receive payment of the Obligations, or any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of any Secured Party’s interests in and to any of the Collateral, (vii) any Secured Party’s vote, claim, distribution, election, acceptance, action or inaction in any Insolvency Proceeding related to any of the Obligations, and (viii) any other guaranty, whether by such Guarantor or any other Person, of all or any part of the Obligations or any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of any Guarantor to Secured Parties. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, Secured Parties may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Loan Party or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto. Any failure by any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Loan Party or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Loan Party or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

13.8 Modifications of Obligations. Each Guarantor further unconditionally consents and agrees that, without notice to or further assent from any Guarantor: (a) the principal amount of the Obligations may be increased or decreased and additional indebtedness or obligations of a Borrower or any other Persons under the Loan Documents may be incurred, by one or more amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of any Loan Document or otherwise; (b) the time, manner, place or terms of any payment under any Loan Document may be extended or changed, including by an increase or decrease in the interest rate on any Obligation or any fee or other amount payable under such Loan Document, by an amendment, modification or renewal of any Loan Document or otherwise; (c) the time for a Borrower’s (or any other Loan Party’s) performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any Loan Document may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to, all in such manner and upon such terms as the applicable Secured Party may deem proper; (d) in addition to the Collateral, Secured Parties may take and hold other security (legal or equitable) of any kind, at any time, as collateral for the Obligations, and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, exchange, sell, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend such security and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action, and may apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof; (e) Secured Parties may discharge or release, in whole or in part, any other Guarantor or any other Loan Party or other Person liable for the payment and performance of all or any part of the Obligations, and may permit or consent to any such action or any result of such action, and shall not be obligated to demand or enforce payment upon any of the Collateral, nor shall any Secured Party be liable to any Guarantor for any failure to collect or enforce payment or performance of the Obligations from any Person or to realize upon the Collateral; and (f) Secured Parties may request and accept other guaranties of the Obligations and of any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of a Borrower or any other Loan Party to any Secured Party and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend any such guaranty and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action; in each case (a) through (f), as the applicable Secured Parties may deem advisable, and without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting this Agreement.

13.9 Reinstatement. The guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of a Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, a Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

13.10 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except in writing in accordance with Section 12.9), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default, as applicable. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which any Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

13.11 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. Each Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse Secured Parties for all its documented and reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under this guaranty or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel; provided that no Guarantor shall be liable for indemnification of any expenses under this Section 13.11 to the extent such expenses arise as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Secured Party.
