In order to induce Lender to enter into this Agreement and to continue to make the Loans, each of Holdings and Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as follows, and each of Holdings and Borrower covenants that the following representations will continue to be true, and that Holdings (as applicable) and Borrower will at all times comply with all of the following covenants, throughout the term of this Agreement and until all Obligations have been paid and performed in full:

3.1 Corporate Existence and Authority. Each of Holdings and Borrower is and will continue to be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization. Each of Holdings and Borrower is and will continue to be qualified and licensed to do business in all jurisdictions in which any failure to do so would result in a Material Adverse Change. The execution, delivery and performance by Holdings and Borrower of this Agreement, and all other documents contemplated hereby (i) have been duly and validly authorized, (ii) are enforceable against Holdings and Borrower in accordance with their terms (except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally), and (iii) do not violate Holdings’ or Borrower’s articles or certificate of incorporation, or Holdings’ or Borrower’s by-laws, Holdings’ or Borrower’s partnership agreement or operating agreement (as the case may be), or any law or any material agreement or instrument which is binding upon Holdings or Borrower or their applicable property, and (iv) do not constitute grounds for acceleration of any indebtedness or obligation under any agreement or instrument which is binding upon Holdings or Borrower or their applicable property.

3.2 Name; Trade Names and Styles. The name of Holdings and Borrower set forth in the heading to this Agreement is its correct name. Listed in the Perfection Certificate are all prior names of Holdings and Borrower used in the last 5 years and all of Holdings’ and Borrower’s present and prior trade names. Each of Holdings and Borrower shall give Lender 30 days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period as agreed by Lender) before changing its name or doing business under any other name. Each of Holdings and Borrower has complied, and will in the future comply, in all material respects, with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a fictitious business name.

3.3 Place of Business; Location of Collateral. The address set forth in the heading to this Agreement is Borrower’s chief executive office. In addition, each of Holdings and Borrower has places of business and Collateral is located only at the locations set forth in the Perfection Certificate. Each of Holdings and Borrower will give Lender at least 30 days prior written notice (or such shorter period as agreed by Lender) before opening any additional place of business, changing its chief executive office, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than Borrower’s Address or one of the locations set forth in the Perfection Certificate.

3.4 Title to Collateral; Perfection; Permitted Liens.

(a) Except as set forth on the Perfection Certificate, each of Holdings and Borrower is now, and will at all times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items of Equipment which are leased to Borrower. The Collateral now is and will remain free and clear of any and all Liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. Lender now has, and will continue to have, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, a super-priority perfected and enforceable security interest in all of the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens, and Holdings and Borrower will at all times defend Lender and the Collateral against all claims of others.

(b) Each of Holdings and Borrower has set forth in the Perfection Certificate all of Holdings’ and Borrower’s Deposit Accounts, and each of Holdings and Borrower will give Lender five Business Days advance written notice before establishing any new Deposit Accounts and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, will cause the institution where any such new Deposit Account is maintained to execute and deliver to Lender a control agreement in form sufficient to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Deposit Account and otherwise satisfactory to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.

(c) In the event that Holdings or Borrower shall at any time after the date hereof have any commercial tort claims against others, which it is asserting or intends to assert, and in which the potential recovery exceeds $250,000 (as determined by Borrower in good faith), Holdings or Borrower shall promptly notify Lender thereof in writing and provide Lender with such information regarding the same as Lender shall request. Such notification to Lender shall constitute a grant of a security interest in the commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof to Lender, and Holdings and Borrower shall execute and deliver all such documents and take all such actions as Lender shall request in connection therewith.

(d) None of the Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real property in such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture. Holdings and Borrower are not and will not become a lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the lessor may obtain any rights in any of the Collateral and no such lease now prohibits, restrains, impairs or will prohibit, restrain or impair Holdings’ and Borrower’s rights to remove any Collateral from the leased premises. Whenever any Collateral is located upon real property in which any third party has an interest, Holdings and Borrower shall, whenever reasonably requested by Lender, cause such third party to execute and deliver to Lender, in form acceptable to Lender, such waivers and subordinations as Lender shall specify.

3.5 Maintenance of Collateral. Each of Holdings and Borrower will maintain the Collateral in good working condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and Holdings and Borrower will not use the Collateral for any unlawful purpose. Holdings and Borrower will immediately advise Lender in writing of any material loss or material damage to the Collateral.

3.6 Books and Records. Holdings and Borrower has maintained and will maintain at Borrower’s Address complete and accurate, in all material respects, books and records, comprising an accounting system in accordance with GAAP.

3.7 Financial Condition, Statements and Reports. All financial statements now or in the future delivered to Lender have been, and will be, prepared in conformity with GAAP and, except as set forth in the Perfection Certificate, now and in the future will fairly present, in all material respects, the results of operations and financial condition of Holdings and Borrower, in accordance with GAAP, at the times and for the periods therein stated. Between the last date covered by any such statement provided to Lender and the date hereof, there has been no Material Adverse Change.

3.8 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Each of Holdings and Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and each of Holdings and Borrower has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions required to be paid by Holdings and Borrower, as applicable. Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Holdings’ or Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Holdings or Borrower. Each of Holdings and Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and each of Holdings and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in or permitted partial or complete termination of any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Holdings or Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.

3.9 Compliance with Law. Borrower has complied, and will comply, in all material respects, with all material provisions of all foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations applicable to Borrower, including, but not limited to, those relating to Borrower’s ownership of real or personal property, the conduct and licensing of Borrower’s business, and all environmental matters.

3.10 Litigation. Except as set forth on the Litigation Annex, there is no material claim, suit, litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or affecting Holdings or Borrower in any court or before any governmental agency (or any basis therefor known to Borrower). Borrower will promptly inform Lender in writing of any material claim, proceeding, litigation or investigation in the future threatened or instituted against Holdings or Borrower (in each case, if known to Borrower).

3.11 Use of Proceeds(a) . All proceeds of the Loan shall be used solely for Borrower’s working capital. Borrower is not purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation G of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and no part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used to purchase or carry any “margin stock” or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock,” or for any other purpose, in any such case, that would violate or be inconsistent with Regulations U or X.

3.12 Budget and Variance Reports. Each Budget delivered was prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed by the Loan Parties to be reasonable at the time made and upon information believed by the management of the Borrower to have been accurate based upon the information available to the management of the Borrower at the time such Budget was furnished. On and after the delivery of any Variance Report in accordance with this Agreement, such Variance Report shall be complete and correct and fairly represent in all respects the results of operations of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries for the period covered thereby and in the detail to be covered thereby.

3.13 Overdue Accounts Payable. Annex B sets forth a complete and correct list of all Outstanding Accounts Payable (including, without limitation the applicable vendor and outstanding balance in respect thereof) known to Borrower on the Restatement Date.

4. PREPAYMENTS OF THE LOAN.

4.1 Voluntary Prepayments.

In each case under this Section 4.1, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements:

Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay the Loan in whole or in part, subject to the concurrent payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.3, in an aggregate principal amount not less than $1,000,000.00 (or, if less, in the amount of the Loan outstanding), by providing an irrevocable written notice to Lender by 3:00 PM (New York time) at least one Business Day in advance of the date of such proposed prepayment; provided that any repayment or prepayment in full of the Loans and other Obligations hereunder shall be subject to the consent of Emblem.

4.2 Mandatory Prepayments.

In each case under this Section 4.2, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements:

(a) Non COI Equipment Asset Sales. No later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the date of receipt by Borrower of any Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any non-ordinary course Asset Sale (excluding any sales of COI Equipment), Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to the prepayment of the Loans, the Emblem Facility and, solely after the occurrence of the Additional Loan Funding Date, the loans outstanding under the Amended and Restated Term Loan B Agreement, on a pro rata basis.

(b) COI Equipment Asset Sales. No later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the date of receipt by Borrower of any Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any non-ordinary course Asset Sale of COI Equipment, Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to the prepayment of the Loan.

(c) Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds. No later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the date of receipt by Borrower of any Net Cash Proceeds of the type described in clause (b) of the definition thereof in excess of $100,000, Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to prepayment of the Loans, the Emblem Facility and, solely after the occurrence of the Additional Loan Funding Date, the loans outstanding under the Amended and Restated Term Loan B Agreement, on a pro rata basis.

(d) Non-Permitted Debt. On the date of receipt by Borrower of any Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of any Indebtedness of Borrower (other than with respect to any Permitted Indebtedness), Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to the prepayment of the Loans, the Emblem Facility and, solely after the occurrence of the Additional Loan Funding Date, the loans outstanding under the Amended and Restated Term Loan B Agreement, on a pro rata basis.

4.3 Applicable Premium. If any Applicable Premium Event occurs, then Borrower shall pay to Lender, the Applicable Premium. In any such case, the Applicable Premium shall constitute part of the Obligations payable by Borrower (and guaranteed by the Guarantors) in respect of the Loan, which Obligations are guaranteed by the Guarantors and secured by the Collateral, and constitutes liquidated damages, not unmatured interest or a penalty, as the actual amount of damages to Lender as a result of the relevant Applicable Premium Event would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain. The Applicable Premium is provided by mutual agreement of Borrower and the Guarantors and Lender as a reasonable estimation and calculation of such actual lost profits and other actual damages of Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that upon the occurrence of any Applicable Premium Event, the Applicable Premium shall be automatically and immediately due and payable and shall constitute part of the Obligations payable by Borrower (and guaranteed by the Guarantors) in respect of the Loan which Obligations are secured by the Collateral. The Applicable Premium shall also be automatically and immediately due and payable if the Obligations are satisfied, released or discharged by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding or otherwise), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. BORROWER, FOR ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF THE GUARANTORS, HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR OTHER LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING APPLICABLE PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH EVENTS, ANY RESCISSION OF SUCH ACCELERATION OR THE COMMENCEMENT OF ANY BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY EVENT. Borrower, for itself and on behalf of the Guarantors, expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it and they may lawfully do so) that with respect to the Applicable Premium payable under the terms of this Agreement: (i) the Applicable Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business parties, ably represented by counsel; (ii) the Applicable Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then-prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (iii) there has been a course of conduct between Lender and Borrower and the Guarantors giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Premium; and (iv) Borrower and the Guarantors shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Borrower, for itself and on behalf of and the Guarantors, expressly acknowledges that their agreement to pay the Applicable Premium as herein described is a material inducement to Lender’s agreement to enter into this Agreement and to extend the Loan to Borrower.

Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of all material reports made to insurance companies.

The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower’s expense and the charge therefor shall be $900 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent Lender’s then current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

5.5 Negative Covenants. Except as may be permitted in the Schedule, Borrower shall not, without Lender’s prior written consent (in its sole and absolute discretion), do any of the following:

10.4 this amendment and restatement of the Existing Loan Agreement shall be limited as written and not be a consent to any other amendment, restatement, supplement, waiver or other modification of any other provisions under any Loan Documents, without regard to whether similar, and, except as expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, all terms and conditions of the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect unless otherwise specifically amended hereby.

11. Counterparts; Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement or any other 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 or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

1.3 Loan Requests(a) . To obtain the Loan, Borrower shall make a request to Lender by facsimile or telephone, such request to provide Lender with at least one Business Day’s notice. Loan requests received after 3:00 PM (California time) will not be considered by Lender until the second Business Day after such request. Lender may rely on any telephone request for the Loan given by a person whom Lender believes is an authorized representative of Borrower, and Borrower will indemnify Lender for any loss Lender suffers as a result of that reliance.

2. SECURITY INTEREST. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, to secure the payment and performance of all of the Obligations when due, each of Borrower and Holdings hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all of the following (collectively, the “Collateral”): all right, title and interest of Borrower and Holdings, respectively, in and to all of the following, whether now owned or hereafter arising or acquired and wherever located: all Accounts; all Inventory; all Equipment; all assets constituting Capital Expenditures; all Deposit Accounts (including, without limitation, the Designated Account and all funds maintained therein); all General Intangibles (including without limitation all Intellectual Property); all Investment Property; all Other Property; and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above, and all guaranties and security for any of the above, and all substitutions and replacements for, additions, accessions, attachments, accessories, and improvements to, and proceeds (including proceeds of any insurance policies, proceeds of proceeds and claims against third parties) of, any and all of the above, and all Borrower’s books relating to any and all of the above; provided, that in no event shall the “Collateral” include any Excluded Assets; provided, however, that the security interest of Lender shall immediately attach to, and the Collateral shall immediately include, any such asset (or portion thereof) upon such asset (or such portion) ceasing to be an Excluded Asset.

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, during an Event of Default, monies to be applied to the Obligations, whether arising from payments by Borrower, realization on the Collateral, setoff or otherwise, shall be allocated as follows:

(i) FIRST, to all costs and expenses owing to Lender in connection with the Loan Documents;

(ii) SECOND, to premium (including without limitation, Applicable Premium) and fees incurred in connection with the Loans;

3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF HOLDINGS AND BORROWER.

In order to induce Lender to enter into this Agreement and to continue to make the Loan, each of Holdings and Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as follows, and each of Holdings and Borrower covenants that the following representations will continue to be true, and that Holdings (as applicable) and Borrower will at all times comply with all of the following covenants, throughout the term of this Agreement and until all Obligations have been paid and performed in full:

3.1 Corporate Existence and Authority. Each of Holdings and Borrower is and will continue to be, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization. Each of Holdings and Borrower is and will continue to be qualified and licensed to do business in all jurisdictions in which any failure to do so would result in a Material Adverse Change. The execution, delivery and performance by Holdings and Borrower of this Agreement, and all other documents contemplated hereby (i) have been duly and validly authorized, (ii) are enforceable against Holdings and Borrower in accordance with their terms (except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally), and (iii) do not violate Holdings’ or Borrower’s articles or certificate of incorporation, or Holdings’ or Borrower’s by-laws, Holdings’ or Borrower’s partnership agreement or operating agreement (as the case may be), or any law or any material agreement or instrument which is binding upon Holdings or Borrower or their applicable property, and (iv) do not constitute grounds for acceleration of any indebtedness or obligation under any agreement or instrument which is binding upon Holdings or Borrower or their applicable property.

3.2 Name; Trade Names and Styles. The name of Holdings and Borrower set forth in the heading to this Agreement is its correct name. Listed in the Perfection Certificate are all prior names of Holdings and Borrower used in the last 5 years and all of Holdings’ and Borrower’s present and prior trade names. Each of Holdings and Borrower shall give Lender 30 days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period as agreed by Lender) before changing its name or doing business under any other name. Each of Holdings and Borrower has complied, and will in the future comply, in all material respects, with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a fictitious business name.

3.3 Place of Business; Location of Collateral. The address set forth in the heading to this Agreement is Borrower’s chief executive office. In addition, each of Holdings and Borrower has places of business and Collateral is located only at the locations set forth in the Perfection Certificate. Each of Holdings and Borrower will give Lender at least 30 days prior written notice (or such shorter period as agreed by Lender) before opening any additional place of business, changing its chief executive office, or moving any of the Collateral to a location other than Borrower’s Address or one of the locations set forth in the Perfection Certificate.

3.4 Title to Collateral; Perfection; Permitted Liens.

(a) Except as set forth on the Perfection Certificate, each of Holdings and Borrower is now, and will at all times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items of Equipment which are leased to Borrower. The Collateral now is and will remain free and clear of any and all Liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. Lender now has, and will continue to have, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, a perfected and enforceable security interest in all of the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens, and Holdings and Borrower will at all times defend Lender and the Collateral against all claims of others.

(b) Each of Holdings and Borrower has set forth in the Perfection Certificate all of Holdings’ and Borrower’s Deposit Accounts, and each of Holdings and Borrower will give Lender five Business Days advance written notice before establishing any new Deposit Accounts and, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, will cause the institution where any such new Deposit Account is maintained to execute and deliver to Lender a control agreement in form sufficient to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Deposit Account and otherwise satisfactory to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.

(c) In the event that Holdings or Borrower shall at any time after the date hereof have any commercial tort claims against others, which it is asserting or intends to assert, and in which the potential recovery exceeds $250,000 (as determined by Borrower in good faith), Holdings or Borrower shall promptly notify Lender thereof in writing and provide Lender with such information regarding the same as Lender shall request. Such notification to Lender shall constitute a grant of a security interest in the commercial tort claim and all proceeds thereof to Lender, and Holdings and Borrower shall execute and deliver all such documents and take all such actions as Lender shall request in connection therewith.

(d) None of the Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real property in such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture. Holdings and Borrower are not and will not become a lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the lessor may obtain any rights in any of the Collateral and no such lease now prohibits, restrains, impairs or will prohibit, restrain or impair Holdings’ and Borrower’s rights to remove any Collateral from the leased premises. Whenever any Collateral is located upon real property in which any third party has an interest, Holdings and Borrower shall, whenever reasonably requested by Lender, cause such third party to execute and deliver to Lender, in form acceptable to Lender, such waivers and subordinations as Lender shall specify.

3.5 Maintenance of Collateral. Each of Holdings and Borrower will maintain the Collateral in good working condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted), and Holdings and Borrower will not use the Collateral for any unlawful purpose. Holdings and Borrower will immediately advise Lender in writing of any material loss or material damage to the Collateral.

3.6 Books and Records. Holdings and Borrower has maintained and will maintain at Borrower’s Address complete and accurate, in all material respects, books and records, comprising an accounting system in accordance with GAAP.

3.7 Financial Condition, Statements and Reports. All financial statements now or in the future delivered to Lender have been, and will be, prepared in conformity with GAAP, and, except as set forth in the Perfection Certificate, now and in the future will fairly present, in all material respects, the results of operations and financial condition of Holdings and Borrower, in accordance with GAAP, at the times and for the periods therein stated. Between the last date covered by any such statement provided to Lender and the date hereof, there has been no Material Adverse Change.

3.8 Tax Returns and Payments; Pension Contributions. Each of Holdings and Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and each of Holdings and Borrower has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions required to be paid by Holdings and Borrower, as applicable. Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Holdings’ or Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Holdings or Borrower. Each of Holdings and Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and each of Holdings and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in or permitted partial or complete termination of any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Holdings or Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.

3.9 Compliance with Law. Borrower has complied, and will comply, in all material respects, with all material provisions of all foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations applicable to Borrower, including, but not limited to, those relating to Borrower’s ownership of real or personal property, the conduct and licensing of Borrower’s business, and all environmental matters.

3.10 Litigation. Except as set forth on the Litigation Annex, there is no material claim, suit, litigation, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or affecting Holdings or Borrower in any court or before any governmental agency (or any basis therefor known to Borrower). Borrower will promptly inform Lender in writing of any material claim, proceeding, litigation or investigation in the future threatened or instituted against Holdings or Borrower (in each case, if known to Borrower).

3.11 Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of the Loan shall be used solely for Borrower’s working capital. Borrower is not purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation G of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and no part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used to purchase or carry any “margin stock” or to extend credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” or for any other purpose in any such case, that would violate or be inconsistent with Regulations U or X.

3.12 Budget and Variance Reports. Each Budget delivered was prepared in good faith based on assumptions believed by the Loan Parties to be reasonable at the time made and upon information believed by the management of the Borrower to have been accurate based upon the information available to the management of the Borrower at the time such Budget was furnished. On and after the delivery of any Variance Report in accordance with this Agreement, such Variance Report shall be complete and correct and fairly represent in all respects the results of operations of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries for the period covered thereby and in the detail to be covered thereby.

3.13 Overdue Accounts Payable. Annex B sets forth a complete and correct list of all Outstanding Accounts Payable (including, without limitation the applicable vendor and outstanding balance in respect thereof) known to Borrower on the Restatement Date.

4. PREPAYMENTS OF THE LOAN.

4.1 Voluntary Prepayments.

In each case under this Section 4.1, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements:

Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay the Loan in whole or in part, subject to the concurrent payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 4.3, in an aggregate principal amount not less than $1,000,000.00 (or, if less, in the amount of the Loan outstanding), by providing an irrevocable written notice to Lender by 3:00 PM (New York time) at least one Business Day in advance of the date of such proposed prepayment; provided that any repayment or prepayment in full of the Loans and other Obligations hereunder shall be subject to the consent of Emblem.

4.2 Mandatory Prepayments.

In each case under this Section 4.2, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements:

(a) Non COI Equipment Asset Sales. No later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the date of receipt by Borrower of any Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any non-ordinary course Asset Sale (excluding any sales of COI Equipment), Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to the prepayment of the PMC Super-Priority Facility, the Emblem Facility and solely after the occurrence of the Additional Loan Funding Date (as defined in the Emblem Facility), the Loan, on a pro rata basis.

(b) COI Equipment Asset Sales. No later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the date of receipt by Borrower of any Net Cash Proceeds in respect of any non-ordinary course Asset Sale of COI Equipment, Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to the prepayment of the PMC Super-Priority Facility.

(c) Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds. No later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the date of receipt by Borrower of any Net Cash Proceeds of the type described in clause (b) of the definition thereof in excess of $100,000, Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to the prepayment of the PMC Super-Priority Facility, the Emblem Facility and solely after the occurrence of the Additional Loan Funding Date (as defined in the Emblem Facility), the Loan, on a pro rata basis.

(d) Non-Permitted Debt. On the date of receipt by Borrower of any Net Cash Proceeds from the issuance or incurrence of any Indebtedness of Borrower (other than with respect to any Permitted Indebtedness), Borrower shall apply an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds to the prepayment of the PMC Super-Priority Facility, the Emblem Facility and solely after the occurrence of the Additional Loan Funding Date (as defined in the Emblem Facility), the Loan, on a pro rata basis.

4.3 Applicable Premium. If any Applicable Premium Event occurs, then Borrower shall pay to Lender, the Applicable Premium. In any such case, the Applicable Premium shall constitute part of the Obligations payable by Borrower (and guaranteed by the Guarantors) in respect of the Loan, which Obligations are guaranteed by the Guarantors and secured by the Collateral, and constitutes liquidated damages, not unmatured interest or a penalty, as the actual amount of damages to Lender as a result of the relevant Applicable Premium Event would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain. The Applicable Premium is provided by mutual agreement of Borrower and the Guarantors and Lender as a reasonable estimation and calculation of such actual lost profits and other actual damages of Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that upon the occurrence of any Applicable Premium Event, the Applicable Premium shall be automatically and immediately due and payable and shall constitute part of the Obligations payable by Borrower (and guaranteed by the Guarantors) in respect of the Loan which Obligations are secured by the Collateral. The Applicable Premium shall also be automatically and immediately due and payable if the Obligations are satisfied, released or discharged by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding or otherwise), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. BORROWER, FOR ITSELF AND ON BEHALF OF THE GUARANTORS, HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THEY MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR OTHER LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING APPLICABLE PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH EVENTS, ANY RESCISSION OF SUCH ACCELERATION OR THE COMMENCEMENT OF ANY BANKRUPTCY OR INSOLVENCY EVENT. Borrower, for itself and on behalf of the Guarantors, expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it and they may lawfully do so) that with respect to the Applicable Premium payable under the terms of this Agreement: (i) the Applicable Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business parties, ably represented by counsel; (ii) the Applicable Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then-prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (iii) there has been a course of conduct between Lender and Borrower and the Guarantors giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Premium; and (iv) Borrower and the Guarantors shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Borrower, for itself and on behalf of and the Guarantors, expressly acknowledges that their agreement to pay the Applicable Premium as herein described is a material inducement to Lender’s agreement to enter into this Agreement and to extend the Loan to Borrower.

5. ADDITIONAL DUTIES OF BORROWER.

5.1 Financial and Other Covenants. Borrower shall at all times comply with the financial and other covenants set forth in the Schedule.

5.2 Insurance. Borrower shall, at all times insure all of the tangible personal property Collateral and carry such other business insurance, with insurers reasonably acceptable to Lender, in such form and amounts as Lender may require in its sole and absolute discretion, and Borrower shall provide evidence of such insurance to Lender. All such insurance policies shall name Lender as loss or co-loss payee, and shall contain a lenders loss payee endorsement in form reasonably acceptable to Lender. If Borrower fails to provide or pay for any insurance, Lender may, but is not obligated to, obtain the same at Borrower’s expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of all material reports made to insurance companies.

Such inspections or audits shall be conducted no more often than four times during each calendar year, but nothing herein restricts Lender’s right to conduct such audits more frequently if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. The foregoing inspections and audits shall be at Borrower’s expense and the charge therefor shall be $900 per person per day (or such higher amount as shall represent Lender’s then current standard charge for the same), plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

5.5 Negative Covenants. Except as may be permitted in the Schedule, Borrower shall not, without Lender’s prior written consent (in its sole and absolute discretion), do any of the following:

(a) merge or consolidate with another corporation or entity unless Borrower is the surviving entity and the security interest of Lender in the Collateral is unimpaired;

(b) acquire any assets except (i) assets acquired in the ordinary course of business and (ii) other asset acquisitions (including without limitation, any assets constituting Capital Expenditures) so long as the purchase consideration for all such assets in the aggregate does not at any time exceed $250,000;

Each of Holdings and Borrower agrees, at its expense, on request by Lender, to execute all documents and take all actions, as Lender, may, in its sole and absolute discretion, deem necessary or useful in order to perfect and maintain Lender’s perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens and the Intercreditor Agreements), and in order to fully consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

5.9 Right to Appoint Observer.

In the event that Borrower is required to withhold any amounts in respect of taxes under applicable law, Borrower shall (i) withhold or deduct any taxes required to be withheld or deducted from any payment due hereunder and (ii) pay such additional amounts to Lender so that after taking into account all taxes withheld or deducted from payments to Lender (including on any additional amounts payable pursuant to this clause) Lender receives the amount that it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Borrower shall pay to the appropriate Governmental Authority any such taxes withheld or deducted before penalties are payable thereon, and if any such penalties are payable, Borrower shall also make payment thereof when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority. Within thirty (30) days after each such payment of taxes or penalties, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a receipt evidencing such payment.

The execution, delivery and performance by Holdings and Borrower of this Agreement, and all other documents contemplated hereby (i) have been duly and validly authorized, (ii) are enforceable against Holdings and Borrower in accordance with their terms (except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally), and (iii) do not violate Holdings’ or Borrower’s articles or certificate of incorporation, or Holdings’ or Borrower’s by-laws, Holdings’ or Borrower’s partnership agreement or operating agreement (as the case may be), or any law or any material agreement or instrument which is binding upon Holdings or Borrower or its property, and (iv) do not constitute grounds for acceleration of any indebtedness or obligation under any agreement or instrument which is binding upon Holdings and Borrower or its property.

3.2 Name; Trade Names and Styles. The name of Holdings and Borrower set forth in the heading to this Agreement is its correct name. Listed in the Perfection Certificate are all prior names of Borrower used in the last 5 years and all of Borrower’s present and prior trade names. Borrower shall give Administrative Agent 30 days’ prior written notice (or such shorter period as agreed by Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Lenders)) before changing its name or doing business under any other name. Borrower has complied, and will in the future comply, in all material respects, with all laws relating to the conduct of business under a fictitious business name.

(a) Except as set forth on the Perfection Certificate, each of Holdings and Borrower is now, and will at all times in the future be, the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items of Equipment which are leased to Borrower. The Collateral now is and will remain free and clear of any and all Liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances and adverse claims, except for Permitted Liens. Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) now has, and will continue to have, subject to the Intercreditor Agreements, a super-priority perfected and enforceable security interest in all of the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens, and Holdings and Borrower will at all times defend the Secured Parties and the Collateral against all claims of others.

(c) In the event that Holdings or Borrower shall at any time after the date hereof have any commercial tort claims against others, which it is asserting or intends to assert, and in which the potential recovery exceeds $250,000 (as determined by Borrower in good faith), Holdings or Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent thereof in writing and provide Administrative Agent with such information regarding the same as Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Lenders) shall request.

(d) None of the Collateral now is or will be affixed to any real property in such a manner, or with such intent, as to become a fixture. Holdings and Borrower are not and will not become a lessee under any real property lease pursuant to which the lessor may obtain any rights in any of the Collateral and no such lease now prohibits, restrains, impairs or will prohibit, restrain or impair Holdings’ and Borrower’s rights to remove any Collateral from the leased premises.

Each of Holdings and Borrower has timely filed all required tax returns and reports, and each of Holdings and Borrower has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions required to be paid by Holdings and Borrower, as applicable. Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Holdings’ or Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Holdings or Borrower. Each of Holdings and Borrower has paid all amounts necessary to fund all pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms, and each of Holdings and Borrower has not withdrawn from participation in or permitted partial or complete termination of any such plan which could reasonably be expected to result in any liability of Holdings or Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.
