(a) The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Tranche One Loan for the period commencing on the Tranche One Funding Date until such Tranche One Loan is Paid in Full, at a rate payable in cash per annum equal to 13.5%.

In the event that the Obligations in respect of the Tranche One Loan are not Paid in Full as of the Tranche One Maturity Date or any existing Obligations are not Paid in Full as of the Tranche Two Maturity Date, or in the event that the Obligations shall be declared or shall become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.2, the Obligations shall bear interest subsequent thereto at the Default Rate and such interest shall be payable in cash on demand. In no event shall interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lender hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law, and if any such provision of this Agreement is in contravention of any such law, (x) any amounts paid hereunder shall be deemed to be and shall be applied against the principal amount of the Obligations to the extent necessary such that the amounts paid hereunder do not exceed the maximum rate under Applicable Law and (y) such provision shall otherwise be deemed modified as necessary to limit such amounts paid to the maximum rate permitted under Applicable Law.

Any Lender that is not the beneficial owner of payments made under this Agreement, such as an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, will (but only so long as the Lender remains lawfully able to do so) provide (x) an IRS Form W-8IMY on behalf of itself and (y) on behalf of each such beneficial owner, the forms set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of the preceding sentence that would be required of such beneficial owner if such beneficial owner were a Lender. If a payment made to the Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, the Lender shall (but only so long as the Lender remains lawfully able to do so) deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times prescribed by law or reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower, such documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that the Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(e) If the Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, the Lender shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by the Lender, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant taxing authority) to the Lender in the event the Lender is required to repay such refund to such taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (e), in no event will the Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this clause (e) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This clause (e) shall not be construed to require the 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.
(f) The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment of all Obligations.
(a) If, after the Closing Date, the adoption or taking effect of, or any change in, any Applicable Law, rule, regulation or treaty, or any change in the interpretation or administration of any Applicable Law, rule, regulation or treaty by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender with any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (i) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the FRB), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by the Lender; (ii) shall subject the Lender or the Agent to any Taxes (other than Taxes described in clauses (b) and (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, Taxes indemnified pursuant to Section 3.1 and Connection Income Taxes); or (iii) shall impose on the Lender any other condition affecting its Loan, its Note or its obligation to make the Loan; and the result of anything described in clauses (i) through (iii) above is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) such Lender of making or maintaining its Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or under its Note with respect thereto, then, upon demand by such Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay directly to the Lender such additional amount as will compensate the Lender for such increased cost or such reduction.
| 24 |
(b) If the Lender shall reasonably determine that any change in, or the adoption or phase-in of, any Applicable Law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or the compliance by the Lender or any Person controlling the Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s Commitments hereunder to a level below that which the Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for such change, adoption, phase-in or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender’s or such controlling Person’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender or such controlling Person to be material, then from time to time, upon demand by the Lender (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail, a copy of which shall be furnished to the Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amount as will compensate the Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in Applicable Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.2, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Lender for any amounts in this Section 3.2 (excluding Taxes described in Section 3.2(a)(ii)) incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that the Lender delivers the statement making the demand for such payment.
3.3 Mitigation of Circumstances. The Lender will use commercially reasonable efforts available to it (and not, in such Lender’s sole judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid, any obligation by the Borrower to pay any amount pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2; provided, that this Section 3.3 shall not apply to, or operate to prevent, any assignment of the Loan and the rights and obligations of the Lender pursuant to Section 10.13. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with this Section 3.3.
3.4 Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival. Determinations and statements of the Lender pursuant to Sections 3.1 or 3.2 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error provided that the Lender or the Agent provides the Borrower with written notification of such determinations and statements. The Lender may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 3.1 or 3.2 and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Loan, cancellation of the Notes and termination of this Agreement.

Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with the Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Agent.
9.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects with reasonable care.
9.3 Limited Liability. None of the Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner to the Lender for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, 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 other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its Obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to the Lender 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 other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party.
9.4 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign as the Agent at any time upon 10 days’ prior notice to the Lender and the Borrower. If the Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Lender shall, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), appoint a successor agent for the Lender. If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, the Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Lender after consulting with the Lender and (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the Borrower, a successor agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “the Agent” shall mean such successor agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Agent shall be terminated. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 and Sections 10.4 and 10.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring the Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lender shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time as the Lender shall appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
| 60 |
9.5 Collateral Matters. Lender irrevocably authorizes the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent under any Collateral Document (i) when all Obligations have been Paid in Full; (ii) constituting property sold or to be sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder (it being agreed and understood that the Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an officer of Holdings or the Borrower as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in compliance with this Agreement); or (iii) subject to Section 10.1, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Lender. The Agent shall have the right, in accordance with the Collateral Documents, to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any Collateral for cash, credit or any combination thereof, and the Agent may purchase any Collateral at public or, if permitted by law, private sale and, in lieu of actual payment of the purchase price, may credit bid and setoff the amount of such price against the Obligations.
9.6 Collateral Agent. Lender hereby appoints PDL BioPharma, Inc. as its collateral agent under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement and agrees that in so acting PDL BioPharma, Inc. will have all the rights, protections, exculpations, indemnities and other benefits provided to PDL BioPharma, Inc. under Section 9 hereof, and authorizes and directs PDL BioPharma, Inc. to take or refrain from taking any and all action that it deems necessary or advisable in fulfilling its role as Collateral Agent under the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement.
| Section 10. | Miscellaneous. |
10.1 Waiver; Amendments. No delay on the part of the Agent or the Lender in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. No amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents (or any subordination and intercreditor agreement or other subordination provisions relating to any other Debt) shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and approved by the Agent and the Lender, and then any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

If and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under Applicable Law.

| 62 |
10.5 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Agent nor the Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.

Execution of this Agreement by Holdings and the Borrower constitutes a full, complete and irrevocable release of any and all claims which Holdings or the Borrower may have at law or in equity in respect of all prior discussions and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. None of Holdings, the Borrower, the Agent or the Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Holdings, the Borrower, the Agent and the Lender each hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx for, any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages or liabilities.

10.8 Captions. Captions used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Agreement.
10.9 Nature of Remedies. All Obligations of the Loan Parties and rights of the Agent and the Lender expressed herein or in any other Loan Document shall be in addition to and not in limitation of those provided by Applicable Law. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Agent or the Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

The Lender may sell, transfer, or assign any or all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any Person acceptable to the Lender pursuant to assignment documentation reasonably acceptable to Lender and such assignee; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lender shall not assign or transfer any of its rights and obligations hereunder to any Person which is a direct competitor of Holdings or the Borrower (as reasonably determined by Agent) without Holdings’ prior written consent. Such assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such assignment documentation, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder. The Agent (acting solely for this purpose as the agent of the Borrower) shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender and its assignees and participants, and the amounts of principal and interest owing to any of them hereunder from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Holdings, the Borrower, the Agent and the Lender and its assignees and participants shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement and all references to the Lender in this Agreement shall include any such assignee of the Lender.
