(e)    any representation or warranty made by the Issuer to the Holders herein or by the Guarantors in the Guaranty is incorrect in any material respect on the date as of which such representation or warranty was made; or

(f)    any Obligor (i) fails to pay when due any of its Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness arising under this Note), or any interest or premium thereon, when due and such failure continues after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or instrument relating to such Indebtedness, or (ii) fails to perform or observe any covenant, term, condition or agreement relating to any of its Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness arising under this Note) or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing or relating thereto, or any other event occurs or condition exists, the effect of which failure or other event or condition is to cause, with the giving of notice, if required, such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity (or, in the case of any such Indebtedness constituting direct or indirect guarantees or other contingent Liabilities, to become payable), or any such Indebtedness is declared to be due and payable, or required to be prepaid or redeemed (other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment or redemption or as a mandatory prepayment), purchased or defeased, or an offer to prepay, redeem, purchase or defease such Indebtedness shall be required to be made, in each case prior to the stated maturity thereof; provided that, a default, event or condition described in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 11(f) shall not at any time constitute an Event of Default unless, at such time, one or more defaults, events or conditions of the type described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 11(f) has occurred and is continuing with respect to Indebtedness the outstanding principal amount of which exceeds in the aggregate $50,000,000; or

(h)    any material provision of this Note or the Guaranty, at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason other than as expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder or satisfaction in full of the outstanding Principal Amount on this Note, all unpaid interest accrued hereunder and all other amounts payable hereunder, ceases to be in full force and effect, or the Issuer or any other Person contests in writing the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Note or the Guaranty, or the Issuer denies in writing that it has any or further liability or obligation under this Note or the Guaranty, or purports in writing to revoke, terminate or rescind this Note or the Guaranty.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Required Holders may, but with no obligation on any Holder to do so and without incurring any liability to the Issuer, declare by written notice to the Issuer that the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all unpaid interest accrued hereunder are due and payable in full, whereupon the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all unpaid interest accrued hereunder shall immediately be due and payable in full; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default comprised of any of the events described in sub-paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 11, the outstanding Principal Amount of this Note and all unpaid interest accrued hereunder shall, automatically and without the requirement of any declaration or other action by the Holders, immediately be due and payable in full.

14.    Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each of the Holders and their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held, and other obligations at any time owing, by each such Holder or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Issuer against any and all of the obligations of the Issuer now or hereafter existing under this Note to each such Holder or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Holder or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Note and although such obligations of the Issuer may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of such Holder different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each of the Holders and their respective Affiliates under this Section 13 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that each such Holder or Affiliate may have.

15.    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations.

16.    Waivers; Acknowledgments; Reservation of Rights and Remedies under Applicable Law. The Issuer expressly waives presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, diligence in collection and any and all other notices and demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note. The Issuer acknowledges and agrees as follows:

(a)    All rights and remedies available to the Holders under applicable Law in respect of any default by the Issuer in the performance of its obligations under this Note or otherwise in respect of enforcement of this Note are reserved by the Holders.

(b)    Without limitation, the rights reserved hereunder include all rights of the Holders to receive, before the holders of shares or other interests in the equity of the Issuer, for application toward satisfaction in part or in whole of the Issuer’s obligations under this Note, assets, or the value thereof, of the Issuer upon the dissolution or bankruptcy of the Issuer or otherwise as may exist or arise under applicable Law, including without limitation the law of the jurisdiction of the Issuer’s organization or conduct of business and any federal, national, state, regional, provincial or other governmental division bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or similar law now or hereafter in effect. Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the Issuer and the Holders that the Holders shall have the right to receive indefeasible payment in full of all obligations of the Issuer under or arising from this Note before the holders of shares or other equity interests of the Issuer are entitled to receive any assets, or the value thereof, of the Issuer upon the dissolution or bankruptcy of the Issuer.

(c)    No forbearance, failure or delay by the Holder in the exercise of any right or remedy under this Note or under applicable Law shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Holder of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies provided in this Note are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.

17.    Amendments. Neither this Note nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Issuer, the Required Holders and the Principal Holder; provided that no such agreement shall (i) result in any commitment on the part of any Holder to issue any additional notes or otherwise commit such Holder to lend without the written consent of each Holder affected thereby, (ii) other than any reduction of the Principal Amount pursuant to the terms of Article 8 of the Purchase Agreement, reduce the Principal Amount of this Note or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Holder affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the Principal Amount of this Note, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled maturity date hereunder, without the written consent of each Holder affected thereby, (iv) alter pro rata sharing of payments required hereby to each Holder, without the written consent of each Holder, (v) change the payment waterfall provisions of Section 6(b) without the written consent of each Holder, or (vi) change any of the provisions of this Section 16 or the definition of “Required Holders” or any

 

12


other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Holders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Holder. Any such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Any amendment necessary to change the terms of this Note or any provision hereof to effectuate the changes contemplated herein in connection with a Qualifying Spin-off Transaction (including changing the definition of “Interest Rate”) shall require only the consent of the Principal Holder and the Issuer.

18.    PATRIOT Act. The Holders hereby notify the Issuer that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies the Issuer, which information includes the name and address of the Issuer and other information that will allow the Holders to identify the Issuer in accordance with the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, and the Issuer agrees to provide such information from time to time to the Holders at such time.

19.    Expenses; Limitation of Liability; Indemnity. The Issuer shall reimburse the Holders for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses, and fees, including the reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel, incurred by the Holders from time to time in connection with (a) the administration of this Note or the Guaranty and (b) the enforcement or protection of such Holders’ rights hereunder or under the Guaranty, including all such reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of this Note or the Guaranty. To the extent permitted by applicable law none of the Obligors shall assert, and each Obligor hereby waives, any liabilities against any other party hereto, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Note or the Guaranty; provided that, nothing in this Section 18 shall relieve each Obligor of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee, as provided in this Section 18, against any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party. The Obligors shall indemnify the Holders and their Affiliates (each, an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the performance by the parties hereto and to the Guaranty of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any action taken in connection with this Agreement or the Guaranty, including, but not limited to, the payment of principal, interest and fees, and (iii) any actual or prospective proceeding relating to any of the foregoing; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such Liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.

20.    Governing Law. All matters arising out of or relating to this Note and all of the transactions it contemplates, including its validity, interpretation, construction, performance and enforcement and any disputes or controversies arising therefrom or related thereto, shall be governed by the internal Laws of the State of New York (including section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law), without giving effect to any other choice or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any other jurisdiction.

(a)    Each of the parties (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, solely in the event that such United States District Court does not have or will not exercise jurisdiction over such matter, any New York state court sitting in New York, New York, United States of America and, in any case, any appellate court thereof for the purpose of a Proceeding between the parties arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Note, (ii) subject to sub-paragraph (i), hereby waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such Proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such Proceeding brought in one of the above-named courts should be dismissed on grounds of forum non conveniens, should be transferred or removed to any court other than one of the above-named courts, or should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other Proceeding in any other court other than one of the above-named courts, or that this Note or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court and (iii) subject to sub-paragraph (i), hereby agrees not to commence any such Proceeding other than before one of the above-named courts.

22.    Waiver of Jury Trial.

EACH OF THE PARTIES KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, CLAIM, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS NOTE OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY TO THIS NOTE IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT OF THIS NOTE.

23.    Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing and are deemed duly delivered when using one of the delivery methods set forth at Section 11.2 of the Purchase Agreement; provided that notices required to be sent to the Holders hereunder must be sent to each such Holder individually (and shall not be deemed delivered hereunder if sent to the Seller Representative or the Principal Holder only). Each Holder as of the date hereof shall have provided on or before the date hereof, and any assignee of an interest in this Note from a Holder shall have provided on or before the date of such assignment, to the Issuer its designated address or e-mail address and the details of the individual to whose attention any notice should be marked and each Holder may change such designated address, email or individual details from time to time by notice to the Issuer in compliance with this Section 22.

24.    Cancellation.
