(4) Any Foreign Recipient that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is resident for tax purposes, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by Applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender or Foreign Recipient, if requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender or Foreign Recipient is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements.

(5) If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Credit Party or with respect to which a Credit Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 8.1 or that, because of the payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes, it has benefited from a reduction in Excluded Taxes otherwise payable by it, it shall pay to such Credit Party an amount equal to such refund or reduction (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Credit Party under this Section 8.1 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund or reduction), net of all expenses of the Agent, or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any net after Tax interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Each Credit Party, upon the request of the Agent, or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Credit Party (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender if the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund or reduction to such Governmental Authority. This Section 8.1(5) shall not be construed to require the Agent, or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person, to arrange its affairs in any particular manner or to claim any available refund or reduction.

-34-

(6) The provisions of this Section 8.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations.

Without limiting the rights and remedies of the Agent or any Lender under any other provisions of any Credit Document or under applicable law or at equity,

The terms and conditions of such enforcement are set forth below:

-36-

(a) Concurrently with the delivery of the Notice of Intent, the Agent shall provide the Third Party a written offer (the “Third Party Offer”) to sell to the Third Party all of the Intellectual Property at a price equal to $110,000,000 (the “Third Party Purchase Price”). The Third Party Offer shall be open for a period of 30 days following the Third Party’s receipt of the Third Party Offer.

(b) In the event that the Third Party provides written acceptance of the Third Party Offer (the “Acceptance Notice”) to the Agent (i) the IP Guarantor shall transfer the Intellectual Property to the Agent on or before the Third Party IP Purchase Deadline, and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event not later than five days following the date the IP Guarantor transfers the Intellectual Property to the Agent), the Agent shall transfer the Intellectual Property to the Third Party, each pursuant to an intellectual property purchase agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit 9.3 (the “Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement”). The “Third Party IP Purchase Deadline” shall be the date that is 30 days after the date that the Agent receives the Acceptance Notice; provided that if the parties are proceeding in good faith to transfer the Intellectual Property pursuant to an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement, the Third Party IP Purchase Deadline shall be extended until such time as reasonably determined by the Agent and the Borrower. Simultaneously with the transfer of the Intellectual Property by the Agent to the Third Party, the Agent shall pay to the Borrower in cash an amount equal to the amount by which the proceeds of the Third Party Purchase Price exceeds the amount of the Obligations then due and payable.

(2) In the event that the Obligations have not been indefeasibly paid in full after the exercise of the remedies set out in Section 9.3(1) above, the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Creditors, may elect to enforce its rights under the IP Security Agreement in relation to the IP Collateral and all proceeds of such enforcement shall be applied in repayment of the Aggregate Principal Amount of the First Advance.

(3) In the event that the Obligations have not been repaid in full after the exercise of the remedies set out in Section 9.3(1) and Section 9.3(2) above, the Borrower shall, within 60 days thereafter, cause certain Subsidiaries of the Parent to sell all or any portion of the Pennsylvania Assets. Upon the consummation of the sale of all or any portion of such Pennsylvania Assets, the Borrower shall cause an amount equal to the amount by which the Obligations have not been repaid to be transferred to the Agent for the account of the First Advance Lender.

(4) In the event that the Obligations have not been repaid in full after the exercise of the remedies set out in Section 9.3(1), Section 9.3(2) and Section 9.3(3) above, the Agent shall (for the benefit of the Secured Creditors), upon the written direction of the Secured Creditors, direct the Borrower to cause the Parent to use commercially reasonable efforts to offer for sale (whether by private placement or prospectus or registered offering) within 30 days following the written request to do so received from the Agent up to 1,400,000 Fixed Shares and up to 600,000 Floating Shares at the then prevailing market price for such Fixed Shares and Floating Shares, as applicable, as quoted on the Exchange (the “Parent Share Offering”), with the number of Fixed Shares and/or Floating Shares to be offered to be determined in the sole discretion of the Parent. The Borrower shall cause all of the net proceeds of the Parent Share Offering to be used to repay the Obligations (with any remaining proceeds being retained by the Borrower or the Parent, as the case may be).

-37-

(5) Notwithstanding anything in this Article 9, immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(h), the Agent and the Lender shall have all of the rights described in Section 9.3.

(6) All rights and remedies granted to the Agent and the Lender in this Agreement, and any other documents or instruments in existence between the parties or contemplated hereby, and any other rights and remedies available to the Agent and the Lenders at law or in equity, shall be cumulative. The exercise or failure to exercise any of the said remedies shall not constitute a waiver or release thereof or of any other right or remedy, and shall be non-exclusive (except to the extent such remedy is expressly stated to be exclusive in this Agreement).

-38-

(b) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Credit Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Lender, but the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, (i) may expose the Agent to liability, (ii) is contrary to any Credit Document or Applicable Law, (iii) would require the Agent to become registered to do business in any jurisdiction, or (iv) would subject the Agent to taxation; and

(2) The Agent shall not be (and none of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be) liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Lender or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment.

(4) The Agent is not obliged to (i) take or refrain from taking any action or exercise or refrain from exercising any right or discretion under the Credit Documents, or (ii) incur or subject itself to any cost in connection with the Credit Documents, unless it is first specifically indemnified or furnished with security by the Secured Creditors, in form and substance satisfactory to it (which may include further agreements of indemnity or the deposit of funds).

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making, extension, renewal or increase of the First Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of the First Advance. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

Section 10.5     Indemnification of Agents. 

Each Credit Party jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Agent and hold it harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel, which may be incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Credit Documents or the transactions therein contemplated or any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent.

(2) If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Lender or shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of the Lender, appoint a successor Agent, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents (except that in the case of any Security held by the Agent on behalf of the Secured Creditors under any of the Credit Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such Security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through such Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Lender appoints a successor Agent pursuant to Section 10.8(1).

The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the termination of the service of the former Agent, the provisions of this Article 10 and of Section 11.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such former Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the former Agent was acting as an Agent.

Section 10.9     Non-Reliance on Agents.

The Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. The Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

Section 11.5     Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(1) The Borrower shall indemnify the Agent, (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any Credit Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (a) the execution, delivery or enforcement of this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance or non-performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation or non-consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) the First Advance or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (c) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a Credit Party or Parent and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee or the breach of any Credit Document by such Indemnitee.

-43-

(2) To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 11.5(1) to be paid by it to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s rateable portion (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.

(3) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, neither the Agent nor any Lender or any Credit Party nor Parent shall assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for indirect, consequential, punitive, aggravated or exemplary damages (as opposed to direct damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby (or any breach thereof), the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the First Advance or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(4) All amounts due under this Section 11.5 shall be payable promptly after demand therefor. A certificate of the Agent, or a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts owing to the Agent, Lender or a sub-agent or Related Party, as the case may be, as specified in this Section, including reasonable detail of the basis of calculation of the amount or amounts, and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(5) The provisions of this Section 11.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Aggregate Principal Amount of the First Advance or all other Obligations. To the extent required by law to give full effect to the rights of the Indemnitees under this Section 11.5, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Agent and Lender is acting as agent for its respective Related Parties and agrees to hold and enforce such rights on behalf of such Related Parties as they may direct. The Borrower acknowledges that neither its obligation to indemnify nor any actual indemnification by it of the Lender, the Agent or any other Indemnitee in respect of such Person’s losses for legal fees and expenses shall in any way affect the confidentiality or privilege relating to any information communicated by such Person to its counsel.

Section 11.8     Interest on Amounts.

Except as may be expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, all amounts owed by the Borrower to the Agent and to any of the Lenders, which are not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, on demand, by acceleration or otherwise) shall bear interest (both before and after default and judgment) in cash, from the date on which such amount is due until such amount is paid in full, payable on demand, at a rate per annum equal to five percent (5%) in excess of the indicative interest rates set forth in Section 3.3(1)(a) and Section 3.3(1)(b).

(b) shall provide to the Lender copies of all information obtained in such regard without any representation or warranty as to its accuracy or completeness.

Section 11.10   Governing Law: Jurisdiction: Etc.

(1) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to any laws of the State of New York that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

(2) The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its Assets, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the City and State of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other Credit Document shall affect any right that the Agent, or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document against any Credit Party or its Assets in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(3) The Borrower irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or proceeding to the Borrower at the address provided for it in Section 11.4. Nothing in this Section 11.10(3) limits the right of the Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

(4) The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document in any court referred to in Section 11.10(2). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(5) Notwithstanding anything else contained in the Credit Documents, the Borrower and each Credit Party hereby agrees, for the sole benefit of the Lender, upon demand by the Agent, to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents), whether in tort, contract or otherwise arising out of or relating to in any way (i) the First Advance, Security and related Credit Documents which are the subject of this Agreement and its negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination; or (ii) requests for additional credit. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in a location in New York, New York selected by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon; (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code), notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the documents between the parties; and (iii) be conducted by the AAA, or such other administrator as the parties shall mutually agree upon, in accordance with the AAA’s (or such other administrator’s) commercial dispute resolution procedures, unless the claim or counterclaim is at least $1,000,000.00 exclusive of claimed interest, arbitration fees and costs in which case the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the AAA’s (or such other administrator’s) optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes (the commercial dispute resolution procedures or the optional procedures for large, complex commercial disputes to be referred to, as applicable, as the “Rules”). If there is any inconsistency between the terms hereof and the Rules, the terms and procedures set forth herein shall control. Any party who fails or refuses to submit to arbitration following a demand by any other party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling arbitration of any dispute. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under 12 U.S.C. §91 or any similar applicable state law. Any arbitration proceeding in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000.00 or less will be decided by a single arbitrator selected according to the Rules, and who shall not render an award of greater than $5,000,000.00. Any dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5,000,000.00 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators; provided that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all hearings and deliberations. The arbitrator(s) will be a neutral attorney licensed in the State of New York or a neutral retired judge of the state or federal judiciary of New York, in either case with a minimum of ten years’ experience in the substantive law applicable to the subject matter of the dispute to be arbitrated. The arbitrator(s) will determine whether or not an issue is arbitrable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator(s) will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the discretion of the arbitrator(s)) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication. The arbitrator(s) shall resolve all disputes in accordance with the substantive law of New York and may grant any remedy or relief that a court of such state could order or grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make effective any award. The arbitrator(s) shall also have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other action as the arbitrator deems necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the New York Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable law. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The institution and maintenance of an action for judicial relief or pursuit of a provisional or ancillary remedy shall not constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the plaintiff, to submit the controversy or claim to arbitration if any other party contests such action for judicial relief. In any arbitration proceeding discovery will be permitted in accordance with the Rules. All discovery shall be expressly limited to matters directly relevant to the dispute being arbitrated and must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date and within 180 days of the filing of the dispute with the AAA. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator(s) upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available. The arbitrator(s) shall award all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding.

Section 11.11   Waiver of Jury Trial.

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other Person has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Person would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the other Credit Documents by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section. 

Section 11.12   Counterparts: Integration: Effectiveness: Electronic Execution. 

(1) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original, and such counterparts together constitute one and the same instrument. Transmission of an executed signature page by facsimile, email or other electronic means is as effective as a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it has been executed by the Agent and when the Agent has received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.

(2) The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Credit 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 Parts 2 and 3 of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada), the Electronic Transactions Act (Alberta) and other similar federal or provincial laws based on the Uniform Electronic Commerce Act of the Uniform Law Conference of Canada or its Uniform Electronic Evidence Act and equivalent laws of the United States including Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act of 2000 (15 USC § 7001 et seq.), the Electronic Signatures and Records Act of 1999 (N.Y. State Tech. Law §§ 301-309), or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as the case may be.

-48-

Section 11.13   Treatment of Certain Information: Confidentiality.

(1) Each of the Agent and the Lender agrees, and each of the Credit Parties agree, to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to it, its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, managers, administrators, trustees, agents, auditors, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement in favour of the Credit Parties with privity of contract containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 11.13 to (i) any assignee of, or any prospective assignee of, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its partners, directors, officers, employees, managers, administrators, trustees, agents, advisors or other representatives) to any swap, derivative, credit-linked note or similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Credit Parties and their obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, or the advisors of the Persons referred to in (i) and (ii), (g) with the consent of the Credit Party or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Agent or the Lender on a non-confidential basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to impose any duty on the Lender to refrain from trading in securities of the Parent, including the Tranche A Interest Shares, provided that the Lender is in compliance with all applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules related thereto. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that they will not provide the Lender with material, non-public information concerning Parent and none of the Lender and the Agent shall have any duty of confidentiality with respect to Information that may constitute non-public information of Parent.

-49-

(2) For purposes of this Section, “Information” means: (a) with respect to the Agent and the Lender, all information received in connection with this Agreement from each Credit Party relating to such Credit Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or the Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to such receipt; and (b) with respect to the Credit Parties, all information contained in this Agreement and all other Credit Documents and all information received from the Agent and the Lender, including the identity of Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, managers, administrators, trustees, agents, auditors, advisors and representatives. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 11.13 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. In addition, the Agent may disclose to any agency or organization that assigns standard identification numbers to loan facilities such basic information describing the facilities provided hereunder as is necessary to assign unique identifiers (and, if requested, supply a copy of this Agreement), it being understood that the Person to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to make available to the public only such Information as such person normally makes available in the course of its business of assigning identification numbers.

(3) The Credit Parties agree to provide the Agent with the opportunity to review and comment on any press release in respect of any matter contemplated in any Credit Document. In respect of any Credit Document or other document to be filed on SEDAR (or on any other public filing repository), the Credit Parties agree to redact the names of all parties other than the Agent, the Lender and direct members of the Lender; provided, however, that the foregoing obligations of the Credit Parties are subject to applicable securities laws in the relevant jurisdiction in which the public filings are to be made.

Section 11.14   Severability.

If any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal exists or is taken, determines any provision of this Agreement to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

Section 11.15   Time of the Essence.

Time is of the essence in this Agreement.

Section 11.16    USA PATRIOT Act.

Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.

-50-

Section 11.17   No Fiduciary Duty.

The Agent, the Lender and their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 11.17, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower, its members and its Affiliates. The Borrower agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and the Borrower, its members or its Affiliates, on the other hand. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, and (b) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (i) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favour of the Borrower, its members or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise the Borrower, its members or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to the Borrower except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (ii) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of the Borrower, its management, members, creditors or any other person. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Borrower has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Borrower, in connection with such transactions or the process leading thereto.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, upon an Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and a declaration that all Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) are immediately due and payable, the Administrative and Collateral Agent, on behalf of Assignor, has provided Assignee with a written offer to sell, transfer, and assign Assignee all of the Assigned IP (as defined below) in exchange for the payment of $[_] (the “Third Party Offer”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, terms, and conditions set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.            Assignment . Assignor hereby irrevocably conveys, transfers, and assigns to Assignee all of Assignor’s right, title, and interest in and to the following (the “Assigned IP”):

(a)           the trademark registrations and applications set forth on Schedule 1 hereto and all issuances, extensions, and renewals thereof (the “Trademarks”), together with the goodwill of the business connected with the use of, and symbolized by, the Trademarks;

(b)           all rights of any kind whatsoever of Assignor accruing under any of the foregoing provided by applicable law of any jurisdiction, by international treaties and conventions, and otherwise throughout the world;

(c)           any and all royalties, fees, income, payments, and other proceeds now or hereafter due or payable with respect to any and all of the foregoing; and

(d)           any and all claims and causes of action with respect to any of the foregoing, whether accruing before, on, or after the date hereof, including all rights to and claims for damages, restitution, and injunctive and other legal and equitable relief for past, present, and future infringement, dilution, misappropriation, violation, misuse, breach, or default, with the right but no obligation to xxx for such legal and equitable relief and to collect, or otherwise recover, any such damages.

The parties acknowledge and agree that Assignor is selling, assigning, transferring, and conveying whatever interest Assignor has or may have in the Assigned IP, if any, without any representations or warranties of any kind. 

2.            Consideration. As consideration in full for the Assigned IP, Assignee shall pay Assignor a one-time fee in the amount of $[_].
