Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 13, 2012, Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”), as borrower, entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, by and among the Company, Sagent Pharmaceuticals, a Wyoming corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Sagent Wyoming”), as co-borrower, and Silicon Valley Bank (the “SVB Agreement”). The SVB Agreement provides for a $40.0 million asset based revolving loan facility, with availability subject to (x) a borrowing base consisting of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and (y) the satisfaction of conditions precedent specified in the SVB Agreement. The SVB Agreement matures on February 13, 2016, at which time all outstanding amounts will become due and payable. Borrowings under the SVB Agreement may be used for general corporate purposes, including funding working capital. Amounts drawn bear an interest rate equal to, at our option, either a Eurodollar rate plus 2.50% per annum or an alternative base rate plus 1.50% per annum. We also pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts equal to 0.30% per annum. During the continuance of an event of default, at Silicon Valley Bank’s option, all obligations will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 5.00% per annum above the otherwise applicable rate.

As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, no loans were outstanding under the SVB Agreement.

Loans under the SVB Agreement are secured by substantially all of our and Sagent Wyoming’s assets, other than our equity interests in our joint ventures and certain other limited exceptions.

The SVB Agreement contains various customary affirmative and negative covenants. The negative covenants restrict the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, create or permit to exist liens, make certain investments, dividends and other payments in respect of capital stock, sell assets or otherwise dispose of our property, change our lines of business, or enter into a merger or acquisition, in each case, subject to thresholds and exceptions as set forth in the SVB Agreement. The financial covenants in the SVB Agreement are limited to maintenance of a minimum adjusted quick ratio and a minimum free cash flow. The SVB Agreement also contains customary events of default, including non-payment of principal, interest and other fees after stated grace periods, violations of covenants, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, certain bankruptcy and liquidation events, certain material judgments and attachment events, cross-default to other debt in excess of a specified amount and material agreements, failure to maintain certain material governmental approvals, and actual or asserted invalidity of subordination terms, guarantees and collateral, in each case, subject to grace periods, thresholds and exceptions as set forth in the SVB Agreement.

The foregoing description of the SVB Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The SVB Agreement has been included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide you with information regarding its terms. The SVB Agreement contains representations and warranties that the parties thereto made to the other parties thereto as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in the representations and warranties in the SVB Agreement were made solely for purposes of the contract among the respective parties, and each may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the terms thereof. Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to shareholders or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 13, 2012, concurrent with entering into the SVB Agreement, as described above in Item 1.01, Sagent Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) repaid in full with cash on hand all outstanding amounts under its existing term loan and revolving credit facilities, plus certain associated fees, and terminated the agent’s and lender’s commitments to extend further credit under those facilities. The $25.0 million revolving facility was provided under that certain Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of June 16, 2009 by and among the Company, Sagent Wyoming, Midcap Funding IV, LLC as agent and lender and Silicon Valley Bank, as lender (as amended, the


“Midcap Revolver”), and the $15.0 million term loan was provided under that certain Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2011, by and among the Company, Sagent Wyoming , Midcap Funding III, LLC, as agent and lender, and Silicon Valley Bank as lender (as amended, the “Term Note”, and together with the Midcap Revolver, the “Former Agreements”). Concurrent with the repayment and termination of the Former Agreements, all liens and security interests against property of the Company and Sagent Wyoming that secured the obligations under the Former Agreements were released and discharged. Substantially the same property has become subject to the lien and security interest of Silicon Valley Bank under the SVB Agreement.

As part of the termination of the Former Agreements, the Company was required to pay to the lenders under those facilities $1.5 million of early termination fees and a $0.6 million exit fee associated with the Term Note; however, $1.050 million of such fees owing to Silicon Valley Bank under the Former Agreements were deferred in connection with the execution of the SVB Agreement and will only be payable upon the occurrence of certain early termination events as set forth in the SVB Agreement.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 above regarding the SVB Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Exhibit 10.1

LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

This LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of February 13, 2012 (the “Effective Date”) among (a) SILICON VALLEY BANK, a California corporation with a loan production office located at 230 West Monroe, Suite 720, Chicago, Illinois 60606 (“Bank”), and (b) (i) SAGENT PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Sagent Delaware”) and (ii) SAGENT PHARMACEUTICALS, a Wyoming corporation (“Sagent Wyoming”; and together with Sagent Delaware, jointly and severally, individually and collectively, “Borrower”), provides the terms on which Bank shall lend to Borrower and Borrower shall repay Bank. The parties agree as follows:

1 ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or financial requirement set forth in Section 6.7 (or in any related definition) or any other provision in any Loan Document, and either Borrower or Bank shall so request, Bank and Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP: provided, however, that until so amended, (a) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (b) Borrower shall provide to Bank the financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement, which shall include a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, to the extent that any change in GAAP after the Effective Date results in leases which are, or would have been, classified as operating leases under GAAP as it exists on the Effective Date being classified as a capital lease under revised GAAP, such change in classification of leases from operating leases to capital leases shall be ignored for purposes of this Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. 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.

2 LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Bank the outstanding principal amount of all Credit Extensions and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

2.1.1 Revolving Advances.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Bank shall make Advances not exceeding the Availability Amount. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Line may be repaid and, prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date, reborrowed, subject to the applicable terms and conditions precedent herein.

(b) Termination; Repayment. The Revolving Line terminates on the Revolving Line Maturity Date, when the principal amount of all Advances, the unpaid interest thereon, and all other Obligations relating to the Revolving Line shall be immediately due and payable.

2.2 Overadvances. If, at any time, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of any Advances exceeds the lesser of either the Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to Bank in cash such excess.

2.3 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(a) Interest Rate; Advances. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to (x) the Base Rate plus one and one half of one percent (1.50%) or (y) the Eurodollar Rate plus two and one half of one percent (2.50%). Pursuant to the terms hereof, interest on outstanding Advances shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. All accrued but unpaid interest on the Revolving Line shall be due and payable on the Revolving Line Maturity Date.

(b) Default Rate. At the election of Bank, 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 (5.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”) unless Bank otherwise elects from time to time in


its sole discretion to impose a smaller increase. Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Bank Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. 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 Bank.

(c) Adjustment to Interest Rate. (i) Changes to the interest rate of any Credit Extension based on changes to the Base Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and/or Federal Funds Rate (as applicable) and to the extent of any such change; and (ii) the interest rate applicable to each Eurodollar Loan shall be determined in accordance with Section 3.6(a) hereunder. Subject to Sections 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7, such rate shall apply during the entire Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan, and interest calculated thereon shall be payable on the Interest Payment Date applicable to such Eurodollar Loans.

(d) Computation; 360-Day Year. In computing interest, the date of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed, except with respect to interest computed under the Prime Rate, which shall be computed based upon the actual number of days occurring during the current calendar year.

(e) Debit of Accounts. Bank may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or, upon Bank’s reasonable attempt to notify Borrower, any other amounts Borrower owes Bank when due. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

2.4 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Bank:

(a) Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee. A fee (the “Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee”), payable quarterly, in arrears, on a calendar year basis, commencing on the first (1st) day of the first (1st) full calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the Effective Date occurs, in an amount equal to three-tenths of one percent (0.30%) per annum of the average unused portion of the Revolving Line, as determined by Bank. The unused portion of the Revolving Line, for purposes of this calculation, shall equal the difference between (x) the Revolving Line amount (as it may be reduced from time to time) and (y) the average for the period of the daily closing balance of the Revolving Line outstanding. Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate or repayment of any Unused Revolving Line Facility Fee previously earned by Bank pursuant to this Section notwithstanding any termination of the Agreement or the suspension or termination of Bank’s obligation to make loans and advances hereunder;

(b) Early Termination Fees. The Deferred Termination Fee when due hereunder; and

(c) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due.

2.5 Payments. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 12:00 p.m. eastern time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 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.

Each Credit Extension is Borrower’s representation and warranty on that date that the representations and warranties in this Agreement remain true, accurate, and complete in all material respects; provided, however, that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof; and provided, further that those representations and warranties expressly referring to a specific date shall be true, accurate and complete in all material respects as of such date.

Borrower expressly agrees that a Credit Extension made prior to the receipt by Bank of any such item shall not constitute a waiver by Bank of Borrower’s obligation to deliver such item, and the making of any Credit Extension in the absence of a required item shall be in Bank’s sole discretion.

3.4 Procedures for Borrowing. Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of an Advance set forth in this Agreement, to obtain an Advance, Borrower shall notify Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable) by electronic mail, facsimile, or telephone by 12:00 p.m. eastern time on the Funding


Date of the Advance. Together with any such electronic or facsimile notification, Borrower shall deliver to Bank by electronic mail or facsimile a completed Notice of Borrowing and/or Payment/Advance Form executed by a Responsible Officer or his or her designee. Bank may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Bank believes is a Responsible Officer or designee. Bank shall credit Advances to the Designated Deposit Account. Bank may make Advances under this Agreement based on instructions from a Responsible Officer or his or her designee or without instructions if the Advances are necessary to meet Obligations which have become due.

3.5 Conversion and Continuation Elections.

(a) So long as (i) no Event of Default exists; (ii) Borrower shall not have sent any notice of termination of this Agreement; and (iii) Borrower shall have complied with such customary procedures as Bank has established from time to time for Borrower’s requests for Eurodollar Loans, Borrower may, upon irrevocable written notice to Bank:

(1) elect to convert on any Business Day, Base Rate Loans, in an amount equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) or any integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in excess thereof, into Eurodollar Loans;

(2) elect to continue on any Interest Payment Date any Eurodollar Loans maturing on such Interest Payment Date (or any part thereof in an amount equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) or any integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in excess thereof); provided, that if the aggregate amount of Eurodollar Loans shall have been reduced, by payment, prepayment, or conversion of part thereof, to be less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), such Eurodollar Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans, and on and after such date the right of Borrower to continue such Eurodollar Loans as, and convert such Eurodollar Loans into, Eurodollar Loans shall terminate; or

(3) elect to convert on any Interest Payment Date any Eurodollar Loans maturing on such Interest Payment Date into Base Rate Loans.

(b) Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation in accordance with Section 10 to be received by Bank prior to 12:00 p.m. eastern time (i) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the Conversion Date or Continuation Date, if any Loans are to be converted into or continued as Eurodollar Loans; and (ii) on the Conversion Date, if any Loans are to be converted into Base Rate Loans, in each case specifying the:

(1) proposed Conversion Date or Continuation Date;

(2) aggregate amount and Type of the Loans to be converted or continued;

(3) nature of the proposed conversion or continuation; and

(4) duration of the requested Interest Period.

(c) all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) or any integral multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in excess thereof and (b) no more than seven (7) Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time.

(d) If upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Loans, Borrower shall have timely failed to select a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Loans, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Loans into Base Rate Loans.

(e) Any Eurodollar Loans shall, at Bank’s option, convert into Base Rate Loans in the event that the aggregate principal amount of the Base Rate Loans which have been previously converted to Eurodollar Loans, or the aggregate principal amount of existing Eurodollar Loans continued, as the case may be, at the beginning of an Interest Period shall at any time during such Interest Period exceed the Revolving Line. Borrower agrees to pay Bank, upon demand by Bank (or Bank may, at its option, charge the Designated Deposit Account or any other account Borrower maintains with Bank) any amounts required to compensate Bank for any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost, or expense incurred by Bank, as a result of the conversion of Eurodollar Loans to Base Rate Loans pursuant to any of the foregoing.


(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Bank shall not be required to purchase United States Dollar deposits in the London interbank market or other applicable Eurodollar Base Rate market to fund any Eurodollar Loans, but the provisions hereof shall be deemed to apply as if Bank had purchased such deposits to fund the Eurodollar Loans.

3.6 Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Loans.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern with respect to Eurodollar Loans as to the matters covered:

(a) Determination of Applicable Interest Rate. As soon as practicable on each Interest Rate Determination Date, Bank shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error in calculation, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower.

(b) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that Bank shall have determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto), on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Eurodollar Loan on the basis provided for in the definition of Eurodollar Base Rate, Bank shall on such date give notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Borrower of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Loans until such time as Bank notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower.

(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. Borrower shall compensate Bank, upon written request by Bank (which request shall set forth the manner and method of computing such compensation), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities, if any (including any interest paid by Bank to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Loans and any loss, expense or liability incurred by Bank in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds) such that Bank may incur: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by Bank or due to any failure of Bank to fund Eurodollar Loans due to impracticability or illegality under Sections 3.7(d) and 3.7(e)) a borrowing or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Loan does not occur on a date specified in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, or (ii) if any principal payment or any conversion of any of its Eurodollar Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan.

(d) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to Bank under this Section 3.6 and under Section 3.5 shall be made as though Bank had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to the definition of Eurodollar Rate in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, that Bank may fund each of its Eurodollar Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 3.6 and under Section 3.5.

(e) Eurodollar Loans after Default. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Bank, (i) Borrower may not elect to have any Loan be made or continued as, or converted into, a Eurodollar Loan after the expiration of any Interest Period then in effect for such Loan and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 3.7(c), any Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by Borrower with respect to a requested conversion/continuation that has not yet occurred shall be deemed to be rescinded by Borrower and be deemed a request to convert or continue Loans referred to therein as Base Rate Loans.

3.7 Additional Requirements/Provisions Regarding Eurodollar Loans.

(a) If for any reason (including voluntary or mandatory prepayment or acceleration), Bank receives all or part of the principal amount of a Eurodollar Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loan, Borrower shall immediately notify Borrower’s account officer at Bank and, on demand by Bank, pay Bank the amount (if any) by which (i) the additional interest which would have been payable on the amount so received had it not been received until the last day of such Interest Period exceeds (ii) the interest which would have been recoverable by Bank by placing the amount so received on deposit in the certificate of deposit markets, the


offshore currency markets, or United States Treasury investment products, as the case may be, for a period starting on the date on which it was so received and ending on the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined by Bank in its reasonable discretion. Bank’s determination as to such amount shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Borrower shall pay Bank, within fifteen (15) days of written demand (including a statement of the type described in the immediately succeeding paragraph) by Bank, from time to time such amounts as Bank may determine to be necessary to compensate it for any costs incurred by Bank that Bank determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any amount receivable by Bank hereunder in respect of any Loans relating thereto (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), in each case resulting from any Regulatory Change which:

(i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to Bank under this Agreement in respect of any Eurodollar Loans (except for Indemnified Taxes paid or reimbursed pursuant to Section 3.8 and the imposition of, or change in the rate with respect to, any Excluded Taxes payable by Bank);

(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with, or other liabilities of Bank (including any Eurodollar Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of Eurodollar Base Rate); or

(iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities).

Bank will notify Borrower of any event occurring after the Effective Date which will entitle Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section 3.7 as promptly as practicable after it obtains knowledge thereof and determines to request such compensation. Bank will furnish Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Bank for compensation under this Section 3.7. Determinations and allocations by Bank for purposes of this Section 3.7 of the effect of any Regulatory Change on its costs of maintaining its obligations to make Eurodollar Loans, of making or maintaining Eurodollar Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Eurodollar Loans, and of the additional amounts required to compensate Bank in respect of any Additional Costs, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(c) If Bank shall determine that the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation, or treaty regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank, or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, in each case, after the Effective Date, or compliance by Bank (or its applicable lending office) with any respect or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank, or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of Bank or any person or entity controlling Bank (“Bank’s Parent”) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Bank (or Bank’s Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, or compliance (taking into consideration policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Bank to be material, then from time to time, within fifteen (15) days after demand by Bank, (including a statement of the type described in the last paragraph of clause (b) above), Borrower shall pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Bank for such reduction. A statement of Bank claiming compensation under this Section 3.7(c) and setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) If, at any time, Bank, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines that (i) the amount of Eurodollar Loans for periods equal to the corresponding Interest Periods are not available to Bank in the offshore currency interbank markets, or (ii) the Eurodollar Base Rate does not accurately reflect the cost to Bank of lending the Eurodollar Loans, then Bank shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower. Upon the giving of such notice, Bank’s obligation to make the Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended until Bank revokes such notice; provided, however, Eurodollar Loans shall not be suspended if Bank and Borrower agree in writing to a different interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans.

(e) If it shall become unlawful for Bank to continue to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Loans, or to otherwise perform its obligations with respect to Eurodollar Loans, upon demand by Bank, Borrower shall prepay the Eurodollar Loans in full with accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder (including, without limitation, any amount payable in connection with such prepayment pursuant to Section 3.7(a)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by Bank as described above relates to a Eurodollar Loan then being requested by Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation,


Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 3.5(c), to (i) rescind such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation by giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such rescission on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above, or (ii) modify such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation to obtain a Base Rate Loan or to have outstanding Loans converted into or continued as Base Rate Loans by giving notice (by facsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to Bank of such modification on the date on which Bank gives notice of its determination as described above.

3.8 Taxes.

(a) All payments of principal and interest on the Credit Extensions and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, payroll, employment, property or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, assessments, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever (including interest and penalties thereon) imposed by any taxing authority, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured by Bank’s income (and franchise taxes solely to the extent imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdictions (or any political subdivisions thereof) under which Bank is organized or in which its principal office or applicable lending office is located or in which it conducts business (other than solely as the result of entering into any of the Loan Documents or taking any action thereunder), (ii) taxes imposed by a jurisdiction as a result of a present or former connection between Bank and the jurisdiction of the governmental authority imposing such tax (other than any such connection arising solely from Bank having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, any Loan Document), (iii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or any similar taxes imposed by another jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, (iv) any taxes imposed on or required to be withheld with respect to Bank as a result of Bank’s failure to comply with Section 3.8(c), (v) any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to an assignee, pursuant to Section 12.1, of Bank, pursuant to the laws in effect at the time such assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent Bank was entitled, at the time of such assignment, to receive additional amounts from Borrower with respect to such taxes pursuant to this Section 3.8, or (iv) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed by FATCA (all excluded items being called “Excluded Taxes” and all non-excluded items being called “Indemnified Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Indemnified Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, then Borrower will: (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) within thirty (30) days, forward to Bank an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to Bank evidencing such payment to such authority; and (iii) within thirty (30) days, pay to Bank such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by Bank will equal the full amount Bank would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. If any Indemnified Taxes are directly asserted against Bank with respect to any payment received by Bank hereunder, Bank may pay such Indemnified Taxes and Borrower will, within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice thereof, pay such additional amounts (including any penalty, interest or expense) as are necessary in order that the net amount received by Bank after the payment of such Indemnified Taxes (including any Indemnified Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount Bank would have received had such Indemnified Taxes not been asserted.

(b) If Borrower fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to Bank the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrowers shall indemnify Bank for any incremental Indemnified Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Bank as a result of any such failure.

(c) If Bank is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, Bank shall deliver to Borrower from time to time as requested by Borrower to the extent required by applicable law, two original copies of properly completed and executed documentation as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding, provided Bank is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in Bank’s judgment, such completion, execution and delivery would not materially prejudice the legal position of Bank. In addition, Bank shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Bank is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(i) If required by applicable law, Bank shall deliver to Borrower, one or more properly completed and executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Bank is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(ii) If required by applicable law, any assignee of Bank that is not a United States Person under Section 7701(a)(30) of the Tax Code shall execute and deliver to Borrower on or prior the


date on which such assignee becomes a party to this Agreement, one or more IRS Forms W-8ECI, W-8EXP, W-8BEN, W-8IMY (as applicable) and other applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service certifying as to such assignee’s entitlement to a complete exemption from withholding or deduction of any taxes.

(iii) If a payment made to Bank under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if Bank were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), Bank shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that Bank has complied with Bank’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to Bank pursuant to this Section 3.8 with respect to any United States withholding taxes that are Indemnified Taxes to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for the failure of Bank to comply with this paragraph (c).

(d) The obligations of Borrower and Bank under this Section 3.8 are binding on any assignee of this Agreement under Section 12.1, including any Lender.

4 CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants Bank, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Bank, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof.

Borrower acknowledges that it previously has entered, and/or may in the future enter, into Bank Services Agreements with Bank. Regardless of the terms of any Bank Services Agreement, Borrower agrees that any amounts Borrower owes Bank thereunder shall be deemed to be Obligations hereunder and that it is the intent of Borrower and Bank to have all such Obligations secured by the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted herein (subject only to Permitted Liens that are expressly permitted hereunder to have superior priority to Bank’s Lien in this Agreement).

If this Agreement is terminated, Bank’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are satisfied in full, and, at such time, the security interest in the Collateral shall automatically terminate and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, Bank shall evidence such termination and release as Borrower shall reasonably request. In the event (a) all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), except for Bank Services, are satisfied in full, and (b) this Agreement is terminated, Bank shall terminate the security interest granted herein upon Borrower providing cash collateral acceptable to Bank in its good faith business judgment for Bank Services, if any. In the event such Bank Services consist of outstanding Letters of Credit, Borrower shall provide to Bank cash collateral in an amount equal to the sum of (i) one hundred-two percent (102.0%) of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars, plus (ii) one hundred-seven percent (107.0%) of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in Foreign Currency, plus, in each case, all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit.

Any Collateral no longer owned by Borrower pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be free of all Liens on such Collateral granted to Bank and such Liens shall be deemed to be released and terminated. At Borrower’s sole cost and expense, Bank shall promptly provide evidence of such termination and release as Borrower shall reasonably request by amending any financing statements and all other notices of Liens previously filed by Bank to release or terminate the Liens on such Collateral.

4.2 Priority of Security Interest. 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 are expressly permitted hereunder to have superior priority to Bank’s Lien under this Agreement), if and to the extent perfection may be achieved, as pertaining to the Intellectual Property of Borrower, by the filing of financing statements under the UCC in the applicable jurisdictions and the


recording of security agreements with the U.S. Copyright Office. If Borrower shall acquire a commercial tort claim with a value in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), Borrower shall promptly notify Bank in a writing signed by Borrower of the general details thereof and grant to Bank 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 Bank.

4.3 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Bank to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Bank’s interest or rights hereunder. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in Bank’s discretion.

5 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

5.1 Due Organization, Authorization; Power and Authority. Each of Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is duly existing and in good standing as a Registered Organization, if applicable, in its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation and is qualified and licensed to do business and is in good standing in any jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or its ownership of property requires that it 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, each Borrower has delivered to Bank a completed certificate signed by such Borrower, entitled “Perfection Certificate” (individually and collectively, the “Perfection Certificate”). Borrower represents and warrants to Bank that, except as notified by Borrower to Bank in writing in accordance with Section 7.2: (a) each Borrower’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (b) each 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 each Borrower’s organizational identification number or accurately states that such Borrower has none; (d) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth each 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) except as set forth in the Perfection Certificate, each 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 in all material respects (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 one or more specific provisions in this Agreement). If Borrower is not now a Registered Organization but later becomes one, Borrower shall promptly notify Bank of such occurrence and provide Bank 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 organizational 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 is bound, in each of clauses (ii) through (v) above, except as could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business. 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.

or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business is, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, valid and enforceable, and no part of the Intellectual Property which Borrower owns or purports to own and which is material to Borrower’s business has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part. 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 would 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 it bound by, any Restricted License (other than for any commercially available, over-the-counter software).

All sales and other transactions underlying or giving rise to each Eligible Account shall comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations. Borrower has no knowledge of any actual or imminent Insolvency Proceeding of any Account Debtor whose accounts are Eligible Accounts in any Borrowing Base Certificate. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all signatures and endorsements on all documents, instruments, and agreements relating to all Eligible Accounts are genuine, and all such documents, instruments and agreements are legally enforceable in accordance with their terms.

5.7 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. 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 the best of Borrower’s knowledge, by previous Persons, in disposing, producing, storing, treating, or transporting any hazardous substance other than legally. 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, except where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals and/or authorizations could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.

Except as disclosed in writing to Bank, Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower in an aggregate amount in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00). Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all present pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in, and has not permitted partial or complete termination of, or permitted the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Borrower in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.

For purposes of the Loan Documents, whenever a representation or warranty is made to Borrower’s knowledge or awareness, to the “best of” Borrower’s knowledge, or with a similar qualification, knowledge or awareness means the actual knowledge, after reasonable investigation, of the Responsible Officers.

9 BANK’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

9.1 Rights and Remedies. While an Event of Default occurs and continues Bank may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Bank);

(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and Bank;

(c) for any Letters of Credit, demand that Borrower (i) deposit cash with Bank in an amount equal to one hundred five percent (102.0%) of the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit remaining undrawn denominated in Dollars and one hundred eight percent (107.0%) of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit remaining undrawn denominated in Foreign Currency (plus all interest, fees, and


costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by Bank in its good faith business judgment)), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all letter of credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letters of Credit;

(d) terminate any FX Forward Contracts;

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

(f) 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 Bank requests and make it available as Bank designates. Bank 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 Bank a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Bank’s rights or remedies;

(g) apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Bank owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

(h) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Bank 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, 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 Bank’s exercise of its rights under this Section, Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Bank’s benefit;

(i) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Bank 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;

(j) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and

(k) exercise all rights and remedies available to Bank 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).

9.2 Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable only 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 Bank 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 Bank or a third party as the Code permits. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Bank’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and Bank is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Bank’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Bank’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Bank’s 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, Bank may, upon notice to Borrower provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Bank are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Bank will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Bank obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Bank are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default.


9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Bank may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Bank shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Bank for any deficiency. If Bank, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Bank shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Bank of cash therefor.

9.5 Bank’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Bank complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Bank, Bank 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, except in each case as a result of Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. As between Bank and Borrower, Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral, except as a result of Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Bank’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 Bank thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Bank’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Bank has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Bank’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Bank from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Bank’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Bank’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

9.7 Demand Waiver. Borrower waives 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 Bank on which Borrower is liable.

11 CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

Illinois law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Borrower and Bank each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Chicago, Illinois; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Bank from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Bank. Borrower and Bank expressly submit and consent in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower and Bank hereby waive any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consent to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower and Bank hereby waive personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agree that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower or Bank, as applicable, 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 or Bank’s, as applicable, 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 AND BANK 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 TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH 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 Bank’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Bank’s discretion). Bank has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, Bank’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

12.2 Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Bank and its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Bank (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or documented, out-of-pocket expenses (including Bank Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from transactions between Bank and Borrower contemplated by the Loan Documents (including reasonable, documented attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

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. Bank may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties.

12.6 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 enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by the party against which enforcement or admission is sought. 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 between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into 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 paid in full and satisfied. Without limiting the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1, the grant of security interest by Borrower in Section 4.1 shall survive until the termination of all Bank Services Agreements. The obligation of Borrower in Section 12.2 to indemnify Bank shall survive until the statute of limitations with respect to such claim or cause of action shall have run.

12.9 Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information, Bank shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, and shall not disclose such confidential information to any Person, except as permitted in this Section 12.9. Disclosure of information may be made: (a) to Bank’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates (such Subsidiaries and Affiliates, together with Bank, collectively, “Bank Entities”) which agree to maintain such information confidential; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions (provided, however, that any prospective transferee or purchaser shall have entered into an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as this Section); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to Bank’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with Bank’s examination or audit; (e) as Bank considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of Bank so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with Bank with terms no less restrictive than those contained herein. Confidential information does not include information that is either: (i) in


the public domain or in Bank’s possession when disclosed to Bank, or becomes part of the public domain after disclosure to Bank through no fault of Bank; or (ii) disclosed to Bank by a third party if Bank does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.

Bank Entities may use the confidential information for reporting purposes and the development and distribution of databases and market analyses so long as such confidential information is aggregated and anonymized prior to distribution unless otherwise expressly permitted by Borrower. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.10 Right of Set Off. Borrower hereby grants to Bank, a lien, security interest and right of set off as security for all Obligations to Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising upon and against all deposits, credits, (other than Excluded Accounts) collateral and property, now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Bank or any entity under the control of Bank (including a Bank subsidiary) 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, Bank 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 BANK 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 (OTHER THAN EXCLUDED ACCOUNTS) OF BORROWER ARE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.

12.11 Electronic Execution of Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

12.12 Captions. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

12.13 Construction of Agreement. The parties mutually acknowledge that they and their attorneys have participated in the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement. In cases of uncertainty this Agreement shall be construed without regard to which of the parties caused the uncertainty to exist.

12.14 Relationship. The relationship of the parties to this Agreement is determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement. The parties do not intend to create any agency, partnership, joint venture, trust, fiduciary or other relationship with duties or incidents different from those of parties to an arm’s-length contract.

12.15 Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to: (a) confer any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any persons other than the express parties to it and their respective permitted successors and assigns; (b) relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any person not an express party to this Agreement; or (c) give any person not an express party to this Agreement any right of subrogation or action against any party to this Agreement.

12.16 Commitment Reduction. Borrower may permanently reduce the Revolving Line upon at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice to Bank (or such lesser time as Bank may agree), which notice shall specify the amount of the reduction. Each reduction shall be in a minimum amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) or an increment of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).

12.17 Termination Prior to Maturity Date. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date (a) by Borrower, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to Bank and all outstanding Obligations are repaid and satisfied in full, and (b) by Bank upon the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an Event of Default (the “Early Termination Event”).

12.18 Deferral of Fees. Notwithstanding the terms of the Existing MidCap Revolving Line Agreement or the Existing Midcap Term Loan Agreement, the Deferred Termination Fee owing to Bank upon the termination of such agreements shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower to Bank upon the occurrence of an Early Termination Event. Borrower shall pay the Deferred Termination Fee to Bank in connection with the payoff of the Existing Midcap Loans, and Bank shall, within five (5) Business Days thereafter, return the Deferred Termination Fee to Borrower provided that no Early Termination Event has occurred.


12.19 Lender Register and Participations.

(a) In the event of a sale by a Lender of a participation to a Participant, (i) such Lender’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (ii) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, and (iii) all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender.

(b) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain (or cause to be maintained) 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 any Credit Extension or any 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 Credit Extension or any other Obligations under the Loan Documents) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is absolutely necessary to establish that the Revolving Line and any other Obligation under the Loan Documents 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 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, Borrower shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(c) Bank, as non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each assignment agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Bank and each other Lender, and the principal amount (and interest thereon) of the portion of any Credit Extension or any other Obligations under the Loan Documents owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Lender Register). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and Bank, Borrower and each Lender may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
