Representations and Warranties of the Company.
The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Investors and the Agent, as of the date hereof and the date of the Closing hereunder (except as set forth on a Schedule of Exceptions to be delivered by the Company not more than 15 days after the Closing Date (the “Schedule of Exceptions”), with each numbered Schedule corresponding to the section number herein), as follows:
(a)
Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted. The Company does not have any direct or indirect Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 2.1(g)) or own securities of any kind in any other entity except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(g) hereto. The Company and each such Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.1(g)) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership to do business and is in good standing in every other jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken together as a whole) and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would prohibit or otherwise materially interfere with the ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents in any material respect.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and, except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(b), no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors, stockholders or any other third party is required. When executed and delivered by the Company and the Subsidiaries, each of the Transaction Documents shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company or the Subsidiaries, as the case may be, enforceable against the Company or the Subsidiaries, as the case may be, in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
(c)
Capitalization. The authorized capital stock and the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company as of the Closing Date is set forth on Schedule 2.1(c)(i) hereto.

(d)

No Conflicts.

To the Company’s knowledge, neither this Agreement or the Schedules hereto nor any other documents, certificates or instruments furnished to any Investor or Agent by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, taken together as a whole, will, when supplemented by the Schedule of Exceptions, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
-7-
necessary in order to make the statements made herein or therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made herein or therein, not misleading.
(q)
Environmental Compliance. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have obtained all approvals, authorization, certificates, consents, licenses, orders and permits or other similar authorizations of all governmental authorities, or from any other person, that are required under any Environmental Laws. “Environmental Laws” shall mean all applicable laws relating to the protection of the environment including, without limitation, all requirements pertaining to reporting, licensing, permitting, controlling, investigating or remediating emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, chemical substances, pollutants, contaminants or toxic substances, materials or wastes, whether solid, liquid or gaseous in nature, into the air, surface water, groundwater or land, or relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of hazardous substances, chemical substances, pollutants, contaminants or toxic substances, material or wastes, whether solid, liquid or gaseous in nature.

(r)
Books and Records; Internal Accounting Controls. The records and documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries accurately reflect in all material respects the information relating to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the location and collection of their assets, and the nature of all transactions giving rise to the obligations or accounts receivable of the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company is in material compliance with all provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 which are applicable to it as of the Closing Date. The Company and its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any
-8-
differences. The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
(s)
Material Agreements. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries have performed all obligations required to be performed by them to date under any written or oral contract, instrument, agreement, commitment, obligation, plan or arrangement, filed or required to be filed with the Commission (the “Material Agreements”). Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.1(s) hereto, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice of default under any Material Agreement, which has not been waived or cured. Except as disclosed on Schedule 2.1(s) hereto, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is currently in default under any Material Agreement now in effect.
(t)
Transactions with Affiliates. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(t) hereto or in the Commission Documents, there are no loans, leases, agreements, contracts, royalty agreements, management contracts or arrangements or other continuing transactions between (a) the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective customers or suppliers on the one hand, and (b) on the other hand, any officer, employee, consultant or director of the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries, or any person owning at least 5% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary or any member of the immediate family of such officer, employee, consultant, director or stockholder or any corporation or other entity controlled by such officer, employee, consultant, director or stockholder, or a member of the immediate family of such officer, employee, consultant, director or stockholder which, in each case, is required to be disclosed in the Commission Documents or in the Company’s most recently filed definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, that is not so disclosed in the Commission Documents or in such proxy statement.

-23-
Section 6.2
Indemnification Procedure.
Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “indemnified party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnifying party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnified party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification obligations to defend the indemnified party required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party shall refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

ARTICLE VII
REGARDING AGENT
Section 7.1
Appointment
Each Investor hereby designates BAM Administrative Services LLC to act as the Agent for such Investor under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. Each Investor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and the Agent shall hold all Collateral, payments of principal and interest, fees, charges and collections received pursuant to this Agreement, for the ratable benefit of Investors. The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Investors, and such instructions shall be binding; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents or Applicable Law unless the Agent is furnished with an indemnification reasonably satisfactory to the Agent with respect thereto.
Section 7.2
Nature of Duties.
The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be (a) liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) responsible in any manner for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Company or any Subsidiary (collectively, the “Loan Parties” and each, individually, a “Loan Party”) or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, or in any of the Transaction Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, due execution, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the Transaction Documents or for any failure of a Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Investor to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, or to inspect the properties, books or records of a Loan Party. The duties of the Agent with respect to the purchase of the Notes hereunder shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Investor; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein.
Section 7.3
Lack of Reliance on Agent: Resignation.
-25-
(a)
Independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Investor, each Investor has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties in connection with the purchase of a Note hereunder and the taking or not taking of any action in connection herewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. The Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Investor with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before purchase of the Notes or at any time or times thereafter except as shall be provided by the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms hereof. The Agent shall not be responsible to any Investor for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any agreement, document, certificate or a statement delivered in connection with or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or of the financial condition of the Loan Parties, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the financial condition of the Loan Parties, or the existence of any Event of Default or any Default.
(b)
The Agent may resign on sixty (60) days’ written notice to each Investor and the Company and upon such resignation, the Investors will promptly designate a successor Agent reasonably satisfactory to the Company (provided that no such approval by the Company shall be required (i) in any case where the successor Agent is one of Investors or (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default). Any such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Agent, and shall in particular succeed to all of the Agent’s right, title and interest in and to all of the Liens in the Collateral securing the obligations created hereunder or any Transaction Document, and the term “the Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent’s rights, powers and duties as the Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of the effectiveness of the new Agent’s appointment, any further actions need to be taken in order to provide for the legally binding and valid transfer of any Liens in the Collateral from former Agent to new Agent and/or for the perfection of any Liens in the Collateral as held by new Agent or it is otherwise not then possible for new Agent to become the holder of a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien as to any of the Collateral, former Agent shall continue to hold such Liens solely as agent for perfection of such Liens on behalf of new Agent until such time as new Agent can obtain a fully valid, enforceable and perfected Lien on all Collateral, provided that the Agent shall not be required to or have any liability or responsibility to take any further actions after such date as such agent for perfection to continue the perfection of any such Liens (other than to forego from taking any affirmative action to release any such Liens). After any the Agent’s resignation as the Agent, the provisions of this ARTICLE VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement (and in the event resigning Agent continues to hold any Liens pursuant to the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, the provisions of this ARTICLE VII shall inure to its benefit a to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with such Liens).
-26-
Section 7.4
Certain Rights of the Agent.
If the Agent shall request instructions from the Investors with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Document, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Agent shall have received instructions from the Investors; and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, the Investors shall not have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of the Investors.
Section 7.5
Reliance.
The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, order or other document or telephone message reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. The Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be liable for the default or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by the Agent with reasonable care.
Section 7.6
Notice of Default.
The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Transaction Documents, unless the Agent has received notice from an Investor or the Company referring to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Investors. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Investors; provided that, unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Investors.
Section 7.7
Indemnification.
To the extent the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by a Loan Party, each Investor will reimburse and indemnify the Agent (based on the outstanding principal amount of the Notes due to such Investor and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes due to all the Investors), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in performing its duties hereunder, or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Transaction Document; provided that, Investors shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Agent’s gross (not mere) negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment).
-27-
Section 7.8
The Company’s Undertaking to Agent.
Without prejudice to their respective obligations to Investors under the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company hereby undertakes with the Agent to pay to the Agent from time to time on demand all amounts from time to time due and payable by it for the account of the Agent or the Investors or any of them pursuant to this Agreement to the extent not already paid. Any payment made pursuant to any such demand shall pro tanto satisfy the Company’s obligations to make payments for the account of the Investors or the relevant one or more of them pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 7.9
No Reliance on the Agent’s Obligor Identification Program.
Each Investor acknowledges and agrees that neither such Investor, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the Agent to carry out such Investor’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or imposed under or pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act or the regulations thereunder, including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Law, including any programs involving any of the following items relating to or in connection with the Loan Parties, their Affiliates or their agents, this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or the transactions hereunder or contemplated hereby: (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any record-keeping, (c) comparisons with government lists, (d) customer notices or (e) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.
Section 7.10
Other Agreements.

Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Investor further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so by the Agent, take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, it being the intent of Investors that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Agent or Investors.
Section 8.1
Fees and Expenses.
The Company, on the one hand, and the Agent and the Investors, on the other hand, shall pay all of their respective costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

-28-
this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.
Section 8.2
Specific Performance; Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue.
(a)
The Company, the Agent and the Investors acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.

The Company, the Agent and the Investors consent to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 8.2 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Company and the Investor hereby agree that the prevailing party in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Notes, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable legal fees from the non-prevailing party.
