(a)                                 Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders agree, severally and not jointly, (i) during the First Draw Period, to make term loans to Borrower in an aggregate amount up to Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($12,500,000.00) according to each Lender’s Term A Loan Commitment Percentage as set forth on Schedule 1.1 hereto (such term loans are hereinafter referred to singly as a “Term A Loan”, and collectively as the “Term A Loans”) and (ii) during the Second Draw Period, to make additional term loans to Borrower in an aggregate amount up to Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($12,500,000.00) according to each Lender’s Term B Loan Commitment Percentage as set forth on Schedule 1.1 hereto (subject to adjustment as provided on Schedule 1.1) (such term loans are hereinafter referred to singly as a “Term B Loan”, and collectively as the “Term B Loans”; each of the Term A Loans and the Term B Loans is referred to singly herein as a “Term Loan”, and the Term A Loans and the Term B Loans are referred to collectively herein as the “Term Loans”). After repayment, no Term Loan may be re-borrowed.

 

(b)                                 Repayment. Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest only (accrued at the applicable interest rate as set forth in Section 2.3 of this Agreement) on each Term Loan commencing on the first (1st) Payment Date following the Funding Date of such Term Loan, and continuing on the Payment Date in each of the following (i) five (5) consecutive months with respect to the Term Loan A and (ii) six (6) consecutive months with respect to the Term Loan B. Commencing on the Amortization Date in respect of a Term Loan, and continuing on the Payment Date of each month thereafter, Borrower shall make consecutive equal monthly payments of principal and interest, in arrears, on such Term Loan to each Lender, as calculated by Collateral Agent based upon: (1) the principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loan, (2) the effective rate of interest, as determined in Section 2.3(a), and (3) a repayment schedule equal to thirty (30) months. All unpaid principal and accrued interest with respect to each Term Loan is due and payable in full on such Term Loan’s Maturity Date. The Term Loans may only be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.2(c) and 2.2(d).

 

1



 

(c)                                  Mandatory Prepayments. (i) If the Term Loans are accelerated following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately pay to Lenders, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of: (A) all outstanding principal of the Term Loans plus accrued interest thereon through the prepayment date, (B) the Final Payment, (C) the Prepayment Fee, plus (D) all other sums, that shall have become due and payable, including Lenders’ Expenses, if any, and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

 

(ii) In the event Borrower permanently discontinues Borrower’s pursuit of active development of Ataluren (also known as PTC124®) for all therapeutic indications (as determined by the Lenders in their reasonable discretion) (the “PTC124 Discontinuation”), Borrower will give prompt written notice to Collateral Agent, and the Lenders shall have the right, upon written notice to Borrower, to require Borrower to repay the Term Loans in full, in which case Borrower shall immediately pay to Lenders, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of: (A) all outstanding principal of the Term Loans plus accrued interest thereon through the prepayment date (accrued at the applicable interest rate as set forth in Section 2.3 of this Agreement), (B) the Final Payment, (C) an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Prepayment Fee, plus (D) all other sums, that shall have become due and payable, including Lenders’ Expenses, if any, and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the PTC124 Discontinuation shall not be deemed to have occurred (and the Lenders shall not have the right to require Borrower to repay the Term Loans as a result of the PTC124 Discontinuation) in the event that after the Effective Date Borrower receives a lump sum cash payment(s) (which payment(s) are recognized by Borrower as revenue or equity, or any combination thereof, but not indebtedness) of at least $25,000,000 in the aggregate.

 

(d)                                 Permitted Prepayment of Loans. Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loans advanced by the Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) provides written notice to Collateral Agent of its election to prepay the Term Loans at least fifteen (15) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays to the Lenders on the date of such prepayment, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of (A) all outstanding principal of the Term Loans plus accrued interest thereon through the prepayment date (accrued at the applicable interest rate as set forth in Section 2.3 of this Agreement), (B) the Final Payment, (C) the Prepayment Fee, plus (D) all other sums, that shall have become due and payable, including Lenders’ Expenses, if any, and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

 

(e)                                  Final Payment. Notwithstanding (but without duplication with) the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.2, on the Maturity Date of a Term Loan, Borrower shall pay to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share the Final Payment in respect of such Term Loan.

 

2.3                               Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

 

(a)                                 Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loans shall accrue interest at a fixed per annum rate equal to the Basic Rate, calculated by Collateral Agent on the Funding Date of the Term Loans, which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Sections 2.2(b) and 2.3(e). Interest shall accrue on each Term Loan for the day on which the Term Loan is made, and shall accrue on a Term Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Term Loan or such portion is paid.

 

(b)                                 Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percentage points (5.00%) above the Basic Rate (the “Default Rate”). 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 of Collateral Agent.

 

(c)                                  360-Day Year. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days.

 

(d)                                 Debit of Accounts. Each Lender may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes

 

2



 

such Lender under the Loan Documents when due. These debits shall constitute a loan payment and not constitute the exercise of a right of set-off.

 

(e)                                  Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all loan payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to the respective Lender to which such payments are owed, at such Lender’s office in immediately available funds on the date specified herein. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly on the Payment Date of each month. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 noon 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 is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid. All payments to be made by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including payments of principal and interest made hereunder and pursuant to any other Loan Document, and all fees, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds.

 

2.4                               Secured Promissory Notes. Each Term Loan shall be evidenced by a Secured Promissory Note in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto (each a “Secured Promissory Note”), and shall be repayable as set forth herein. Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make or cause to be made, on or about the Funding Date of any Term Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note, an appropriate notation on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record reflecting the making of such Term Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of each Term Loan set forth on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record shall be, absent manifest error, a prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under any Secured Promissory Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Secured Promissory Note when due. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of its Secured Promissory Note together with a lost security indemnity from the related Lender, Borrower shall issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Secured Promissory Note in the same principal amount thereof and of like tenor.

 

2.5                               Fees. Borrower shall pay to Collateral Agent (or in the case of clause (b) below, to the Lenders):

 

(a)                                 Facility Fee. A fully earned, non-refundable facility fee of Three Hundred Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($312,500) to be shared between the Lenders pursuant to their respective Commitment Percentages. The facility fee shall be due and payable in two installments as follows: (i) $234,375 of the facility fee shall be due and payable on the Effective Date, and (ii) the remaining $78,125 of the facility fee shall be due and payable on the date on which Borrower achieves positive Phase IIb results for Borrower’s Ataluren program (PTC124) for the Duchenne indication, which shall be evidenced by a final written determination to proceed, without further testing or trials, with the filing of a new drug application with the US Food and Drug Administration for Ataluren for the Duchenne indication, which such determination has been made by the joint development committee for Ataluren (which includes Genzyme, Inc. and Borrower) acting unanimously and supported by the findings of the independent safety monitoring board for the Phase IIb Ataluren clinical trial (“Positive Pivotal Ataluren Data”), whether or not Borrower draws down the Term B Loans. In the event Borrower does not achieve Positive Pivotal Ataluren Data on or prior to April 30, 2010, the second installment of the facility fee of $78,125 shall not be due and payable.

 

(b)                                 Final Payment. The Final Payment, when due hereunder, to be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares;

 

(c)                                  Prepayment Fee. The Prepayment Fee, when due hereunder, to be shared between the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; and

 

(d)                                 Lenders’ Expenses.

Borrower agrees to deliver to Collateral Agent each item required to be delivered to Collateral Agent under this Agreement as a condition precedent to any Credit Extension.

Collateral Agent may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Collateral Agent reasonably believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. On the Funding Date, each Lender shall credit and/or transfer (as applicable) to Borrower’s Designated Deposit Account, an amount equal to its Term Loan Commitment.

 

4                                         CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

 

4.1                               Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens that may have priority as permitted by the terms of this Agreement. If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim (as defined in the Code), Borrower shall promptly notify Collateral Agent in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof (and further details as may be required by Collateral Agent) and grant to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent.

 

If this Agreement is terminated, Collateral Agent’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations and at such time as the Lenders’ obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Collateral Agent, and if appropriate, each Lender shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower.

 

4.2                               Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to file financing statements, without prior notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Collateral Agent’s and each Lender’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Collateral Agent and the Lenders under the Code. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Collateral Agent’s discretion (provided that such financing statements shall specifically refer to those assets excluded from Collateral on Exhibit A hereto). Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with a copy of all financing statements filed, indicating the jurisdiction and date of filing, promptly after each such filing, provided that failure of Collateral Agent to provide Borrower with such copies or other

 

5



 

information shall not impair the validity or priority of any financing statement or impair or restrict any of the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents.

 

5                                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

Borrower represents and warrants as follows at all times unless expressly provided below:

 

5.1                               Due Organization, Authorization: Power and Authority. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, if any, are duly existing and in good standing, as Registered Organizations in their respective jurisdictions of formation and are qualified and licensed to do business and are in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of their business or their ownership of property requires that they be qualified except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. In connection with this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Collateral Agent a completed perfection certificate signed by Borrower (the “Perfection Certificate”). Borrower represents and warrants that (a) Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) Borrower is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (c) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth Borrower’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office as well as Borrower’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office); (e) Borrower (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (f) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete (it being understood and agreed that Borrower may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificate after the Effective Date to the extent permitted by this Agreement). If Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Collateral Agent of such occurrence and provide Collateral Agent with Borrower’s organizational identification number.

 

The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorized, and do not (i) conflict with any of Borrower’s Operating Documents, (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any material Requirement of Law, (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their property or assets may be bound or affected, (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or Governmental Approval from, any Governmental Authority (except such Governmental Approvals which have already been obtained and are in full force and effect), or (v) constitute an event of default under any material agreement by which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective properties is bound (other than the Oxford Equipment Financing, which default has been waived by Oxford). Borrower is not in default under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound in which the default could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.

 

5.2                               Collateral. Borrower has good title to, has rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens. Borrower has no Deposit Accounts, Securities Accounts, Commodity Accounts or other investment accounts other than the Collateral Accounts with Borrower’s Account Banks or the other investment accounts, if any, described in the Perfection Certificate delivered to Collateral Agent in connection herewith with respect of which Borrower has given Collateral Agent notice and taken such actions as are necessary to give Collateral Agent a perfected security interest therein.

 

On the Effective Date, the Collateral (other than raw materials or unfinished products that may be in transit or located at third party manufacturing sites) is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except as disclosed in the Perfection Certificate. None of the components of the Collateral (other than raw materials or unfinished products that may be in transit or located at third party manufacturing sites) shall be maintained at locations other than as disclosed in the Perfection Certificate on the Effective Date or as permitted pursuant to Section 7.2. In the event that Borrower, after the Effective Date, intends to store or otherwise deliver any portion of the Collateral to a bailee (other than raw materials or unfinished products that may be in transit or located at third party manufacturing sites), then Borrower will first receive the written consent of Collateral Agent and such bailee

 

6



 

must execute and deliver a bailee agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Collateral Agent in its reasonable discretion.

 

All Inventory is in all material respects of good and marketable (although not necessarily approved for sale to the public as regulated by the FDA) quality, free from material defects.

 

Borrower is the sole owner of its Intellectual Property, except for licenses permitted by the terms of Section 7.1 hereof and those licenses described in the Perfection Certificate. Schedule 5.2 sets forth all patents and patent applications owned or exclusively licensed to Borrower and indicates which of such patents and patent applications are owned by Borrower and which are licensed by Borrower from third parties (the “Licensed IP”). The Licensed IP is not necessary for the conduct of Borrower’s Ataluren (PTC124), PTC299 and GEMS research and development programs nor the manufacture, sale and marketing of products, if any, which may be developed from such programs. Each issued Patent owned by Borrower is, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, valid and enforceable and no part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party except to the extent such claim could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate, Borrower is not a party to, nor is bound by, any material license or other agreement with respect to which Borrower is a licensee that (a) prohibits or otherwise restricts Borrower from granting a security interest in Borrower’s interest in such license or agreement or any other property, or (b) for which a default under or termination of could interfere with Collateral Agent’s right to sell any Collateral. Borrower shall provide written notice to Collateral Agent within ten (10) days of entering or becoming bound by any such license or agreement (other than over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public). In respect of such licenses or agreements, Borrower shall take such steps as Collateral Agent requests to obtain the consent of, or waiver by, any person whose consent or waiver is necessary for (x) all such licenses or agreements to be deemed “Collateral” and for Collateral Agent to have a security interest in it that might otherwise be restricted or prohibited by law or by the terms of any such license or agreement, whether now existing or entered into in the future, and (y) Collateral Agent to have the ability in the event of a liquidation of any Collateral to dispose of such Collateral in accordance with Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of the preceding sentence shall not apply to exclusive and non-exclusive license agreements solely for the use of the intellectual property of a third party in which Borrower is licensee.

 

5.3                               Litigation. There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers, threatened in writing by or against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving more than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00).

 

5.4                               No Material Deterioration in Financial Condition; Financial Statements. All consolidated financial statements for Borrower and any of its Subsidiaries delivered to Collateral Agent fairly present, in all material respects Borrower’s consolidated financial condition and Borrower’s consolidated results of operations on the dates of such statements or for the periods then ended. There has not been any material deterioration in Borrower’s consolidated financial condition since the date of the most recent financial statements submitted to Collateral Agent.

 

5.5                               Solvency. As of the Effective Date, the fair salable value of Borrower’s assets (including Borrower’s enterprise value minus disposition costs) exceeds the fair value of its liabilities; and Borrower is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature; provided, that for purposes of this Section 5.5, Borrower’s liabilities shall not include liabilities attributable to deferred revenue (notwithstanding that recognition of such liabilities may be required by GAAP).

 

5.6                               Regulatory Compliance. Borrower is not an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Borrower is not engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Borrower has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act, if and as applicable to Borrower. Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” as each term is defined and used in the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005. Borrower has not violated any laws, ordinances or rules, the violation of which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business. None of Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties or assets has been used by Borrower or any Subsidiary or, to Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing,

 

7



 

treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than in material compliance with applicable laws. Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, and given all notices to, all Governmental Authorities that are necessary to continue their respective businesses as currently conducted.

 

None of the Borrower, its Affiliates or any of their respective agents acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is (i) in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Law, (ii) engages in or conspires to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids, or has the purpose of evading or avoiding or attempts to violate, any of the prohibitions set forth in any Anti-Terrorism Law, or (iii) is a Blocked Person. Neither Borrower nor, to the knowledge of Borrower, any of its Affiliates or agents acting or benefiting in any capacity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (x) conducts any business or engages in making or receiving any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of any Blocked Person, or (y) deals in, or otherwise engages in any transaction relating to, any property or interest in property blocked pursuant to Executive Order No. 13224, any similar executive order or other Anti-Terrorism Law.

 

5.7                               Subsidiaries; Investments. Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other equity securities except for Permitted Investments.

(b) Without limiting the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders set forth in Section 9.1 (a) above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default Collateral Agent shall have the right, at the written direction of the Required Lenders, without notice or demand, to do any or all of the following:

 

(i) foreclose upon and/or sell or otherwise liquidate, the Collateral;

 

(ii) apply to the Obligations any (a) balances and deposits of Borrower that Collateral Agent or any Lender holds or controls, or (b) any amount held or controlled by Collateral Agent or any Lender owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower; and/or

 

(iii) commence and prosecute an Insolvency Proceeding or consent to the Borrower commencing any Insolvency Proceeding.

 

(c) Without limiting the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Lenders set forth in Sections 9.1(a) and (b) above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default Collateral Agent shall have the right, without notice or demand, to do any or all of the following:

 

(i) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Collateral Agent considers advisable, notify any Person owing Borrower money of Collateral Agent’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;

 

(ii) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if Collateral

 

15



 

Agent requests and make it available as Collateral Agent designates. Collateral Agent may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants Collateral Agent a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies;

 

(iv) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, and/or advertise for sale, the Collateral. Collateral Agent is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Collateral Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Lenders;

 

(v) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Collateral Agent or the Lenders and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

 

(vi) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books (other than computer software that Borrower is expressly prohibited from transferring by the terms of the agreement by which Borrower obtained such software); and

 

(vii) Subject to clauses 9.1(a) and (b), exercise all rights and remedies available to Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.1 to the contrary, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all remedies referenced in this Section 9.1 without the written consent of Required Lenders following the occurrence of an Exigent Circumstance. As used in the immediately preceding sentence, “Exigent Circumstance” means any event or circumstance that, in the reasonable judgment of Collateral Agent, imminently threatens the ability of Collateral Agent to realize upon all or any material portion of the Collateral, such as, without limitation, fraudulent removal, concealment, or abscondment thereof, destruction or material waste thereof, or failure of Borrower after reasonable demand to maintain or reinstate adequate casualty insurance coverage, or which, in the judgment of Collateral Agent, could result in a material diminution in value of the Collateral.

 

9.2                               Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Collateral Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Collateral Agent determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Collateral Agent or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Collateral Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Collateral Agent and the Lenders are under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Collateral Agent’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Collateral Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

 

9.3                               Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Collateral Agent may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Collateral Agent are Lenders’ Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest applicable rate, and secured by the Collateral. Collateral Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Collateral Agent

 

16



 

obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No such payments by Collateral Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Collateral Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default.

 

9.4                               Application of Payments and Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Collateral Agent from or on behalf of Borrower of all or any part of the Obligations, and, as between Borrower on the one hand and Collateral Agent and Lenders on the other, Collateral Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received against the Obligations in such manner as Collateral Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous application by Collateral Agent, and (b) the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to the Lenders Expenses; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts); third, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding; and fourth, to any other indebtedness or obligations of Borrower owing to Collateral Agent or any Lender under the Loan Documents. Any balance remaining shall be delivered to Borrower or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category, and (y) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category. Any reference in this Agreement to an allocation between or sharing by the Lenders of any right, interest or obligation “ratably,” “proportionally” or in similar terms shall refer to Pro Rata Share unless expressly provided otherwise. Collateral Agent, or if applicable, each Lender, shall promptly remit to the other Lenders such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable repayment of each Lender’s portion of any Term Loan and the ratable distribution of interest, fees and reimbursements paid or made by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) a Lender receiving a scheduled payment shall not be responsible for determining whether the other Lenders also received their scheduled payment on such date; provided, however, if it is later determined that a Lender received more than its ratable share of scheduled payments made on any date or dates, then such Lender shall remit to the Collateral Agent or other Lenders such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable payment of such scheduled payments, as instructed by Collateral Agent and (b) for so long as Oxford is Collateral Agent and the holder of the Indebtedness represented by the Oxford Equipment Financing, all payments received by Collateral Agent in respect of the Obligations (other than payments representing the proceeds of the Equipment financed pursuant to the Oxford Equipment Financing) shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) first, to the Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, and (ii) second, to the payment of the Indebtedness represented by the Oxford Equipment Financing. Any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, properties or securities, shall be received by a Lender in excess of its ratable share, then the portion of such payment or distribution in excess of such Lender’s ratable share shall be received by such Lender in trust for and shall be promptly paid over to the other Lender for application to the payments of amounts due on the other Lender’s claims. To the extent any payment for the account of Borrower is required to be returned as a voidable transfer or otherwise, the Lenders shall contribute to one another as is necessary to ensure that such return of payment is on a pro rata basis. If any Lender shall obtain possession of any Collateral, it shall hold such Collateral for itself and as agent and bailee for the Collateral Agent and other Lenders for purposes of perfecting Collateral Agent’s security interest therein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any warrants issued to the Lenders by Borrower, the stock issuable thereunder, any equity securities purchased by Lenders, any amounts paid thereunder, any dividends, and any other rights in connection therewith shall not be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall affect any Lender’s rights under any such warrants, stock, or other equity securities to administer, manage, transfer, assign, or exercise such warrants, stock, or other equity securities for its own account.

 

9.5                               Liability for Collateral. So long as Collateral Agent and the Lenders consult with Borrower and to the extent practicable comply with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Collateral Agent and the Lenders, Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

 

9.6                               No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Collateral Agent’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Collateral Agent thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Collateral Agent and then is only effective for the specific instance and

 

17



 

purpose for which it is given. Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Collateral Agent has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Collateral Agent’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election, and Collateral Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Collateral Agent’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

 

9.7                               Demand Waiver. Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Collateral Agent on which Borrower is liable.

11                                  CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

 

New York law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower, Lenders and Collateral Agent each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in New York. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, COLLATERAL AGENT AND LENDERS SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH COLLATERAL AGENT AND LENDERS (IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 9.1) DEEM NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR TO OTHERWISE ENFORCE COLLATERAL AGENT’S AND LENDERS’ RIGHTS AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY. Borrower expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any state or federal court located in New York City, and Borrower 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. Borrower 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 Borrower at the address set forth in Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

 

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER, THE LENDERS AND COLLATERAL AGENT 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. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

 

12                                  GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

12.1                        Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Collateral Agent’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Collateral Agent’s discretion, subject to Section 12.11). The Lenders have the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant

 

19



 

participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, the Lenders’ obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any such sale, assignment, negotiation or grant of a participation by any Lender (other than a sale, assignment or participation to a Qualified Assignee (as defined below)) of its obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall require the prior written consent of Collateral Agent. As used herein, “Qualified Assignee” means (a) any Lender and any Affiliate of any Lender and (b) any commercial bank, savings and loan association or savings bank or any other entity which is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) which extends credit or buys loans as one of its businesses, including insurance companies, mutual funds, lease financing companies and commercial finance companies, in each case, which has a rating of BBB or higher from S&P and a rating of Baa2 or higher from Moody’s at the date that it becomes a Lender and in each case of clauses (a) and (b), which, through its applicable lending office, is capable of lending to Borrower without the imposition of any withholding or similar taxes; provided that no person proposed to become a Lender after the Effective Date and determined by Collateral Agent to be acting in the capacity of a vulture fund or distressed debt purchaser shall be a Qualified Assignee, and no person or Affiliate of such person proposed to become a Lender after the Effective Date and that holds any subordinated debt or stock issued by Borrower shall be a Qualified Assignee.

 

12.2                        Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Collateral Agent and the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Collateral Agent or the Lenders (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or Lenders’ Expenses incurred, or paid by Indemnified Person from, following, or arising from transactions between Collateral Agent, and/or the Lenders and Borrower (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). Borrower hereby further indemnifies, defends and holds each Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitee) in connection with any investigative, response, remedial, administrative or judicial matter or proceeding, whether or not such Indemnified Person shall be designated a party thereto and including any such proceeding initiated by or on behalf of Borrower, and the reasonable expenses of investigation by engineers, environmental consultants and similar technical personnel and any commission, fee or compensation claimed by any broker (other than any broker retained by Collateral Agent or Lenders) asserting any right to payment for the transactions contemplated hereby which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Person as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the use or intended use of the proceeds of the loan proceeds.

 

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

 

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

 

12.5                        Correction of Loan Documents. Collateral Agent and the Lenders may correct patent errors and fill in any blank dates in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.

 

12.6                        Integration. This Agreement and 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 between the parties about the subject matter of this Agreement and the Loan Documents merge into this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

 

12.7                        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.

 

12.8                        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 inchoate indemnity obligations and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been satisfied. The obligation of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify each Lender and Collateral Agent shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.

 

20


 

12.9                        Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information of Borrower, the Lenders and Collateral Agent shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to the Lenders’ and Collateral Agent’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates who are bound by terms of confidentiality no less restrictive than those contained herein; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, the Lenders and Collateral Agent shall obtain such prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case, the Lenders and Collateral Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to regulators or as otherwise required in connection with an examination or audit; (e) as Collateral Agent considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third party service providers of the Lenders and/or Collateral Agent so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with the Lenders and Collateral Agent with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein. Confidential information does not include information that either: (i) is in the public domain or in the Lenders’ and/or Collateral Agent’s possession when disclosed to the Lenders and/or Collateral Agent, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to the Lenders and/or Collateral Agent; or (ii) is disclosed to the Lenders and/or Collateral Agent by a third party, if the Lenders and/or Collateral Agent does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.

 

Without limiting the foregoing, Collateral Agent may use confidential information for any purpose, including, without limitation, for the development of client databases, reporting purposes, and market analysis, so long as, in connection with the development of client databases, reporting purposes, and market analysis, Collateral Agent does not disclose Borrower’s identity or the identity of any person associated with Borrower or any patentable subject matter unless otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

12.10                 Right of Set Off. Borrower hereby grants to Collateral Agent and to each Lender, a lien, security interest and right of set off as security for all Obligations to Collateral Agent and each Lender hereunder, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Collateral Agent or the Lenders or any entity under the control of Collateral Agent or the Lenders (including a Collateral Agent affiliate) or in transit to any of them. At any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without demand or notice, Collateral Agent or the Lenders may set off the same or any part thereof and apply the same to any liability or obligation of Borrower even though unmatured and regardless of the adequacy of any other collateral securing the Obligations. ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE COLLATERAL AGENT TO EXERCISE ITS RIGHTS OR REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS, PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF SETOFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS, CREDITS OR OTHER PROPERTY OF BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

 

12.11                 Amendments.

 

(a)                                 No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, or any consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Borrower, Collateral Agent and the Lenders having (x) more than 60% of the Term Loan Commitments of all Lenders or (y) if such Term Loan Commitments have expired or been terminated, more than 60% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans (the “Required Lenders”); provided, however, that so long as a party that is a Lender hereunder on the Effective Date does not assign any portion of its Term Loan Commitment or Term Loan (other than to an Affiliate of such Lender), the “Required Lenders” shall include such Lender (or such Affiliate of such Lender to which such Lender may assign its interest). Except as set forth in clause (b) below, all such amendments, modifications, terminations or waivers requiring the consent of the “Lenders” shall require the written consent of Required Lenders.

 

(b)                                 No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, unless in writing and signed by Collateral Agent and each Lender directly affected thereby: (i) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Lender (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders), (ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Obligation or the amount of any fees payable hereunder (other than waiving the imposition of the Default Rate), (iii) postpone the date fixed for or waive any

 

21



 

payment of principal of or interest on any Term Loan, or any fees or reimbursement obligation hereunder, (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, or consent to a transfer of any material Intellectual Property, in each case, except as otherwise expressly permitted in the Loan Documents (which shall be deemed to affect ail Lenders), (v) subordinate the lien granted in favor of Collateral Agent securing the Obligations (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders), (vi) release a Loan Party from, or consent to a Loan Party’s assignment or delegation of, such Loan Party’s obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or any Guarantor from its guaranty of the Obligations (which shall be deemed to affect all Lenders) or (vii) amend, modify, terminate or waive Section 9.4, 12.10 or 12.11(a) or this Section 12.11(b).

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 12.11 to the contrary, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver affecting or modifying the rights or obligations of Collateral Agent hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Borrower, Collateral Agent and Required Lenders.

 

Any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent pursuant to this Section 12.11 shall apply equally to, and shall be binding upon, all the Lenders and Collateral Agent.

 

12.12                 Publicity.

 

Borrower will not directly or indirectly publish, disclose or otherwise use in any public disclosure, advertising material, promotional material, press release or interview, any reference to the name, logo or any trademark of Collateral Agent or any Lender or any of their Affiliates or any reference to this Agreement or the financing evidenced hereby, in any case except (a) as required by applicable law, subpoena or judicial or similar order, in which case Borrower shall endeavor to give Collateral Agent prior written notice of such publication or other disclosure, (b) with the consent of the Collateral Agent and of each Lender named in such public disclosure or press release, or (c) any subsequent disclosure of any information previously disclosed in accordance with this Section 12.12.

 

Each Lender and Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender to publish the name of such Lender and Borrower, the existence of the financing arrangements referenced under this Agreement, the primary purpose and/or structure of those arrangements, the amount of credit extended under each facility, the title and role of each party to this Agreement, and the total amount of the financing evidenced hereby in any “tombstone”, comparable advertisement or press release which such Lender elects to submit for publication. In addition, each Lender and Borrower agrees that each Lender may provide lending industry trade organizations with information necessary and customary for inclusion in league table measurements after the Effective Date. With respect to any of the foregoing, such authorization shall be subject to such Lender providing Borrower and the other Lenders with an opportunity to review and confer with such Lender regarding, and approve, the contents of any such tombstone, advertisement or information, as applicable, prior to its initial submission for publication, but subsequent publications of the same tombstone, advertisement or information shall not require Borrower’s approval.

 

13                                  COLLATERAL AGENT

 

13.1                        Appointment and Authorization of Collateral Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

 

22



 

13.2                        Delegation of Duties. Collateral Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through its, or its Affiliates’, agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to obtain and rely upon the advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

4.                                      NO DEFENSES OF BORROWER. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Borrower has no offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against Agent and/or the Lenders with respect to the Obligations, or otherwise, and that if Borrower now has, or ever did have, any offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against Agent and/or the Lenders, whether known or unknown, at law or in equity, all of them are hereby expressly WAIVED and Borrower hereby RELEASES Agent and/or the Lenders from any liability thereunder.
