SECOND LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT
     THIS SECOND LIEN CREDIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of February 1, 2008, by and among the lenders identified on the signature pages hereof (such lenders, together with their respective successors and permitted assigns, are referred to hereinafter each individually as a “Lender” and collectively as the “Lenders”), PRIVATE EQUITY MANAGEMENT GROUP, INC., a Nevada corporation, as the arranger and administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “Agent”), and BAKERS FOOTWEAR GROUP, INC., a Missouri corporation (“Borrower”).
INTRODUCTION
     All defined terms not otherwise defined above or in this Introduction are as defined in Schedule 1.1 or as defined elsewhere herein.
     Borrower has requested that the Lenders agree to make Borrower a secured term loan of $7,500,000 the proceeds of which will be used for (i) the partial pay down of the Indebtedness outstanding under the Senior Loan Agreement, (ii) working capital for business operations, and (iii) fees and expenses related to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.
     To provide assurance and security for the repayment of the loans and other Obligations of Borrower hereunder, Borrower will provide or will cause to be provided to Agent (for the benefit of the Lender Group) a security interest in all of its personal property assets pursuant to the Security Agreement (as defined herein).
     As additional inducement to the Lenders, the Borrower has agreed that, on the Funding Date, the Borrower will issue to Agent or its Affiliates shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock as is set forth next to such Person’s name on Schedule E-1 hereto, which shares shall in the aggregate total 350,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Borrower. On the Funding Date, the parties will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things the Borrower will agree to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act. The Agent, each Lender and Borrower are executing and delivering this Agreement and the Loan Documents in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act.
     Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Agent is willing to act as agent for the Lenders and each Lender is willing to make loans to Borrower in an aggregate amount not in excess of its Commitment hereunder.
     Accordingly, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.   DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.
     1.1 Definitions. Except as otherwise provided herein, capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified therefor on Schedule 1.1.

1


 

     1.2 Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP. When used herein, the term “financial statements” shall include the notes and schedules thereto. Whenever the term “Borrower” is used in respect of a financial covenant or a related definition, it shall be understood to mean Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis unless the context clearly requires otherwise. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Loan Document, and either the Borrower or the Agent shall so request, the Agent and the Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP; provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Borrower shall provide to the Agent financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in GAAP.
     1.3 Code. Any terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Code shall be construed and defined as set forth in the Code unless otherwise defined herein, provided, however, that to the extent that the Code is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in different Divisions of the Code, the definition of such term contained in Article 9 shall govern.
     1.4 Construction. Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, the term “or” has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or,” and any provision that is set forth herein as part of a list or series is to be construed in a manner that does not result in duplication of any other provision in such list or series. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement or any other Loan Document refer to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). Any reference herein to the satisfaction or repayment in full of the Obligations shall mean the repayment in full in cash (or cash collateralization in accordance with the terms hereof) of all Obligations other than contingent indemnification Obligations. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained herein or in the other Loan Documents shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record and any record transmitted shall constitute a representation and warranty as to the accuracy and completeness of the information contained therein, subject to qualifications of materiality set forth in the Loan Documents.
     1.5 Schedules and Exhibits. All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.

2.   TERM LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.
     2.1 2.1 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
     2.2 Term Loan.
          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, each Lender agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make a term loan (collectively, the “Term Loan”) to Borrower in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitment.
          (b) All amounts outstanding under the Term Loan shall constitute Obligations. No portion of the Term Loan which is repaid or prepaid may be reborrowed. The Term Loan shall be repaid in installments as set forth in the tables set forth in subsections (c) and (d) below; provided, however, that the outstanding unpaid principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan shall be due and payable on the date of termination of this Agreement, whether by its terms, by prepayment, or by acceleration.
          (c) Subject to subsection (b) above and subsection (d) below, the principal of the Term Loan shall be repaid in installments as follows:
               (i) commencing on March 1, 2008, and continuing on the first day of each of the 34 consecutive months thereafter, equal installments of $208,333.33; and
               (ii) on the Maturity Date, a final installment in an amount equal to the then unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan.
          (d) If Borrower prepays any portion of the Term Loan prior to the Maturity Date, such prepayment shall be made in the inverse order of maturity, and the payment schedule for the remaining balance shall be recalculated so as to result in equal payments which fully amortize the remaining principal balance over the remaining term of the Term Loan.
     2.3 Borrowing Procedure.
          (a) Generally.
               (i) The Borrowing of the Term Loan shall be made by an irrevocable written request by an Authorized Person delivered to Agent and the Lenders. Such notice must be received by Agent and the Lenders no later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Closing Date, specifying the requested Funding Date, which shall be a Business Day.
               (ii) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
               (iii) Borrower shall borrow pursuant to Section 2.2(a) an amount equal to the Term Loan in a single drawing.
               (iv) Subject to the other conditions set forth in this Section 2.3(a), each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing

3


 

available to Agent in immediately available funds, to Agent’s Account, not later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the Funding Date. After Agent’s receipt of such funds, Agent shall make such funds available to Borrower on the Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such proceeds received by Agent to Borrower’s Designated Account; provided, however, that Agent shall not request any Lender to make, and no Lender shall have the obligation to make, any portion of the Term Loan if Agent shall have actual knowledge that one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the Borrowing unless such condition has been waived. In the event any Lender shall not have made the amount of Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3(a), Agent or its designee shall fund any such shortfall and the Lenders’ Pro Rata Shares shall be deemed to be adjusted accordingly.
               (v) Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments respecting the Term Loan made by Borrower to Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments to each other non-Defaulting Lender member of the Lender Group ratably in accordance with their Commitments (but only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s portion of the Term Loan was funded by the other members of the Lender Group). Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero. This Section shall remain effective with respect to such Lender until (x) the Obligations under this Agreement shall have been declared or shall have become immediately due and payable, (y) the non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent, and Borrower shall have waived such Defaulting Lender’s default in writing, or (z) the Defaulting Lender makes its Pro Rata Share of the applicable portion of the Term Loan and pays to Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect thereof. The operation of this Section shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to Agent or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any such failure to fund by any Defaulting Lender shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Borrower at its option, upon written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever; provided however, that any such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Group’s or Borrower’s rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund.
          (b) Notation. Agent shall record on its books the principal amount of the Term Loan owing to each Lender, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and

4


 

such records shall, absent manifest error, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of Agent, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate.
          (c) Lenders’ Failure to Perform. All portions of the Term Loan shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and subject to Section 2.2. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any portion of the Term Loan (or other extensions of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder.
     2.4 Payments.
          (a) Payments by Borrower.
               (i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and subject to the Senior Loan Subordination Agreement, all payments by Borrower shall be made in Dollars to Agent’s Account for the account of the Lender Group and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Agent later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) shall be deemed to have been received on the following Business Day, and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day.
               (ii) Unless Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrower has made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower does not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid.
          (b) Apportionment and Application.
               (i) Except as otherwise provided with respect to Defaulting Lenders and except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents (including agreements between Agent and individual Lenders), aggregate principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate held by each Lender), and payments of fees and expenses (other than fees or expenses that are for Agent’s separate account, after giving effect to any agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders. Subject to the Senior Loan Subordination Agreement, all payments shall be remitted to Agent and all such payments, and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied as follows:

5


 

                    (A) first, ratably to pay any Lender Group Expenses then due to Agent or any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,
                    (B) second, ratably to pay any fees or premiums then due to Agent (for its separate account, after giving effect to any agreements between Agent and individual Lenders) or any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents until paid in full,
                    (C) third, ratably to pay interest due in respect of the Term Loan until paid in full,
                    (D) fourth, ratably to pay any principal amount then due and payable with respect to the Term Loan until paid in full; provided that, if Borrower is making a prepayment of the Term Loan in accordance with Sections 2.4(d) or 2.4(e), in accordance with Section 2.2(d); and
                    (E) fifth, to Borrower (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.
               (ii) Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive.
               (iii) In each instance, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, this Section 2.4(b) shall not apply to any payment made by Borrower to Agent and specified by Borrower to be for the payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under any provision of this Agreement.
               (iv) For purposes of the foregoing, “paid in full” means payment of all amounts owing under the Loan Documents according to the terms thereof, including loan fees, service fees, professional fees, interest (and specifically including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding), default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, except to the extent that default or overdue interest (but not any other interest) and loan fees, each arising from or related to a default, are disallowed in any Insolvency Proceeding.
               (v) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.4 and other provisions contained in any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such priority provisions in such documents shall be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of this Section 2.4 shall control and govern.
               (vi) The provisions of this Section 2.4 constitute an agreement among Borrower and the Lender Group as to the application of payments, Collections and proceeds of Collateral and do not constitute any subordination of (x) any Obligations or (y) the right to payment of any Obligations.
          (c) Mandatory Prepayments.

6


 

               (i) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
               (ii) No later than two (2) Business Days following receipt of Net Cash Proceeds from any voluntary or involuntary sale or disposition by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of property or assets after the Closing Date (other than sales or dispositions of Inventory or Equipment or other fixed assets in the ordinary course of business and other than any proceeds from the termination of the lease for Borrower’s store located on 34th Street, New York City, NY), subject to the Senior Loan Subordination Agreement, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding Obligations in accordance with clause (d) below in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $500,000 in any fiscal year of Borrower received by such Person in connection with such sales or dispositions to the extent that the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds received by Borrower and its Subsidiaries (and not paid to Agent as a prepayment of the Obligations) for all such sales or dispositions shall exceed $500,000 in any fiscal year.

Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by Agent only if it is received into the Agent’s Account on a Business Day on or before 11:00 a.m. (California time).

SEC to disclose that it has (or that it together with such other Persons have) acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, as a result of such closing (when added to any other securities of the Borrower that it or they then own or have the right to acquire), beneficial ownership in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Borrower on a post-transaction basis that assumes that the closing at issue shall have occurred.
     4A.5 Independent Investment Decision. Agent and each Lender has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase Securities pursuant to the Loan Documents, and Agent and each Lender confirms that it has not relied on the advice of any other Person’s business, tax and/or legal counsel in making such decision. Agent and each Lender has not relied on the business, legal advice or tax advice of the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s agents, counsel or Affiliates in making its investment decision hereunder. Agent and each Lender acknowledges that the Borrower makes no representations or warranties regarding the tax consequences of the Securities to Agent and each Lender.
     4A.6 Investment Representations.
          (a) This Agreement is made with the Agent and each Lender in reliance upon each of Agent’s and Lender’s representation to the Borrower, which by its acceptance hereof Agent and each Lender hereby confirms, that the Securities to be received by it will be acquired for investment purposes and for its own account (not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof), and that neither the Agent nor any Lender has the present intention of selling, granting participation in or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, Agent and each Lender further represents that they do not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or to any third person with respect to any of the Securities. Neither the Agent nor any Lender are registered broker dealers or an entity engaged in the business of being a broker dealer.
          (b) Each of Agent and each Lender understands that the Securities are not registered under the Securities Act, on the ground that the sale provided for pursuant to this Agreement and the issuance of the Securities hereunder should be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and that the Borrower’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on such Agent’s and Lenders’ representations set forth herein. Agent and each Lender realize that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding such representations, such Agent or Lender has in mind merely acquiring the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise or for sale if the market does not rise. Agent and each Lender confirm that it has no such intention.
          (c) At the time such Agent or Lender was offered the Securities, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D, as amended, under the Securities Act. Agent and each Lender represent that each is experienced in evaluating and investing in companies such as the Borrower, is able to fend for itself in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Notes and the Common Stock, has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment. Agent and each Lender acknowledge receipt of copies of and its satisfactory review

18


 

of the SEC Filings. Agent and each Lender further represent that it has had access, during the course of the transaction and prior to its purchase of the Securities, to the same kind of information that would be provided in a registration statement filed by the Borrower under the Securities Act and that it has had, during the course of the transaction and prior to its purchase of the Securities, the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Borrower concerning the terms and conditions of the offering and to obtain additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to it or to which it had access and that it has received such information that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Securities. Neither Agent nor any Lender learned of the investment in the Securities as a result of any “general advertising” or “general solicitation” as those terms are contemplated in Regulation D, as amended, under the Securities Act. Each Lender is an Eligible Transferee and was not formed solely for the purpose of investing in the Securities.
          (d) Agent and each Lender understand that the Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. Agent and each Lender understand that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Borrower in a transaction not involving a public offering. Agent and each Lender further understand that the Securities may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Securities or an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, the Securities must be held indefinitely. In particular, Agent and each Lender is aware that the Securities may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met and that Agent or each Lender may be deemed to be an “affiliate” for purposes of the rule. Agent and each Lender represent that, in the absence of an effective registration statement covering the Securities, it will sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Securities only in a manner consistent with its representations set forth herein and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
          (e) Agent and each Lender agrees that in no event will it make a transfer or disposition of any of the Securities (other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act) unless and until (i) such Agent or Lender shall have notified the Borrower of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Borrower with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the disposition and assurance that the proposed disposition is in compliance with all applicable laws and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Borrower, at the expense of such Agent or Lender or transferee, it shall have furnished to the Borrower an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act.
     4A.7 Legends.
          (a) All certificates for the Securities may bear the following or a substantially similar legend:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES

     5.6 Maintenance of Properties. Maintain and preserve all of its properties which are necessary or useful in the proper conduct to its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear, tear, and casualty excepted (and except where the failure to do so would not be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Change), and comply in all material respects at all times with the provisions of all material leases to which it is a party as lessee, so as to prevent any material loss or forfeiture thereof or thereunder.
     5.7 Taxes. Cause all assessments and taxes, whether real, personal, or otherwise, due or payable by, or imposed, levied, or assessed against Borrower, its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective assets to be paid in full, before delinquency or before the expiration of any extension period, except to the extent that the validity of such assessment or tax shall be the subject of a Permitted Protest. Borrower will and will cause its Subsidiaries to make timely payment or deposit of all material tax payments and withholding taxes required of them by applicable laws, including those laws concerning F.I.C.A., F.U.T.A., state disability, and local, state, and federal income taxes, and will, upon request, furnish Agent with proof reasonably satisfactory to Agent indicating that Borrower or its Subsidiary has made such payments or deposits.
     5.8 Insurance.
          (a) At Borrower’s expense, maintain insurance respecting its and its Subsidiaries’ assets wherever located, covering loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, and all other hazards and risks as ordinarily are insured against by other Persons engaged in the same or similar businesses. Borrower also shall maintain business interruption, public liability, and product liability insurance, as well as insurance against larceny and embezzlement. All such policies of insurance shall be in such amounts as are ordinarily maintained by Persons engaged in the same or similar businesses and with such insurance companies as are reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Other than business interruption insurance policies, Borrower shall deliver or has delivered certificates of insurance evidencing all required coverages to Agent with an endorsement naming Agent as loss payee (under a satisfactory lender’s loss payable endorsement) or additional insured, as appropriate. Each certificate of insurance or endorsement shall contain a clause requiring the insurer to give not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to Agent in the event of cancellation of the policy for any reason whatsoever. Agent stipulates and agrees that Borrower’s insurance as set forth on Schedule 5.8(a) is satisfactory to Agent.
          (b) Borrower shall give Agent prompt notice of any loss of the Collateral exceeding $50,000 covered by such insurance. Borrower shall have the exclusive right to adjust any losses payable under any insurance policies.
     5.9 Location of Inventory and Equipment. Keep the Inventory and Equipment only at the locations identified on Schedule 4.5 or in transit from one such location to another;

21


 

provided, however, that Borrower may amend Schedule 4.5 so long as such amendment occurs by written notice to Agent not less than 5 days prior to the date on which such Inventory or Equipment is moved to such new location, so long as such new location is within the continental United States, and so long as, at the time of such written notification, if such location is not owned by Borrower, Borrower provides Agent a Collateral Access Agreement with respect thereto.
     5.10 Compliance with Laws. Comply with the requirements of all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and orders of any Governmental Authority, other than laws, rules, regulations, and orders the non-compliance with which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.
     5.11 Leases. Pay, or cause to be paid, when due all rents and other amounts payable under any material leases to which Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower is a party or by which Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties and assets are bound.

     5.14 Disclosure Updates. Promptly and in no event later than 10 Business Days after any Authorized Officer obtains actual knowledge thereof, notify Agent if any written information, exhibit, or report (taken as a whole), including the contents of the SEC Filings, furnished to the Lender Group contained, at the time it was furnished, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading in light of the facts and circumstances in which such statement was made or known by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower to exist at the time such statement was

24


 

extended Indebtedness, and (iv) the Indebtedness that is refinanced, renewed, or extended is not recourse to any Person that is liable on account of the Obligations other than those Persons which were obligated with respect to the Indebtedness that was refinanced, renewed, or extended,

     6.3 Restrictions on Fundamental Changes.
          (a) Enter into any Fundamental Transaction or other consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization (other than any merger (x) between any Domestic Subsidiary and Borrower in which Borrower is the surviving corporation or (y) between two Foreign Subsidiaries of Borrower) not otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents, or reclassify its capital stock other than pursuant to the terms of such capital stock (except for common stock dividends, splits, reverse splits or other similar transactions);

     7.3 If any material portion of the assets of Borrower or any material portion of the assets of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or is levied upon, or comes into the possession of any third Person and the same is not discharged before the earlier of 30 days after the date it first arises or 5 days prior to the date on which such property or asset is subject to forfeiture by Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary;

     7.12 Any material provision of any Loan Document (except the Registration Rights Agreement) shall at any time for any reason be declared to be null and void, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower, or a proceeding shall be commenced by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower, or by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof.
8.   THE LENDER GROUP’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.
     8.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence, and during the continuation, of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders (at their election but without notice of their election and without demand) may authorize and instruct Agent to do any one or more of the following on behalf of the Lender Group (and Agent, acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, shall do the same on behalf of the Lender Group), all of which are authorized by Borrower:
          (a) Declare all or any portion of the Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement, by any of the other Loan Documents, or otherwise, immediately due and payable;
          (b) Cease advancing money or extending credit to or for the benefit of Borrower under this Agreement, under any of the Loan Documents, or under any other agreement between Borrower and the Lender Group;
          (c) Terminate this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents as to any future liability or obligation of the Lender Group, but without affecting any of the Agent’s Liens in the Collateral and without affecting the Obligations; and
          (d) The Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or pursuant to any other Loan Document.

31


 

The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 7.4 or Section 7.5, in addition to the remedies set forth above, without any notice to Borrower or any other Person or any act by the Lender Group, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the Obligations then outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all fees and all other amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall automatically and immediately become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.
     8.2 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Lender Group under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender Group of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Lender Group shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.
9.   TAXES AND EXPENSES.
     If Borrower fails to pay any monies (whether taxes, assessments, insurance premiums, or, in the case of leased properties or assets, rents or other amounts payable under such leases) due to third Persons, or fails to make any deposits or furnish any required proof of payment or deposit, all as and to the extent required under the terms of this Agreement, then, Agent, in its sole discretion and after prior written notice to Borrower, may do any or all of the following: (a) make payment of the same or any part thereof (except to the extent Borrower has advised Agent of a good faith dispute as to the amount, timing or propriety of such payment), or (b) in the case of the failure to comply with Section 5.8 hereof, obtain and maintain insurance policies of the type described in Section 5.8 and take any action with respect to such policies as Agent deems prudent. Any such amounts paid by Agent shall constitute Lender Group Expenses and any such payments shall not constitute an agreement by the Lender Group to make similar payments in the future or a waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default under this Agreement. Agent need not inquire as to, or contest the validity of, any such expense, tax, or Lien and the receipt of the usual official notice for the payment thereof shall be conclusive evidence that the same was validly due and owing.
10. WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.
     10.1 Demand; Protest; etc. Borrower waives demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor (other than any notice required under this Agreement), notice of payment and nonpayment (other than any notice required under this Agreement), nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by the Lender Group on which Borrower may in any way be liable.
     10.2 The Lender Group’s Liability for Collateral. Borrower hereby agrees that: (a) so long as the Lender Group complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code, the Lender Group shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the

32


 

Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrower.
     10.3 Indemnification. Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the Agent-Related Persons, the Lender-Related Persons, and each Participant (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, and damages, and all reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration (including any restructuring or workout with respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or in connection with the monitoring of Borrower’s or its Subsidiaries’ compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and (b) with respect to any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or the use of the proceeds of the credit provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrower shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 10.3 with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON.
     10.4 Special Damages. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to claim or recover any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages in any legal action, suit or proceeding with respect to Loan Documents.
11.   NOTICES.
     Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all notices or demands by Borrower or Agent to the other relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing and (except for financial statements and other informational documents which may be sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid) shall be personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested), overnight courier, electronic mail (at such email addresses as Borrower or Agent, as applicable, may designate to each other in accordance herewith), or telefacsimile to Borrower or to Agent, as the case may be, at its address set forth below:

13.   ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS; SUCCESSORS.
     13.1 Assignments and Participations.
          (a) Neither Agent nor any Lender may assign or transfer all, or any part, of the Obligations, the Commitments and any other rights and obligations of such Agent or such Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents except as provided herein. The Obligations, Commitments and any other rights and obligations of Agent and each Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents must be transferred pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption from such registration. The Borrower shall be entitled to advance notice of any transfer and reasonable assurance, including an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, that such transfer complies with applicable securities laws. Any Lender may assign and delegate to one or more assignees (each an “Assignee”) that are Eligible Transferees all, or any ratable part of all, of the Obligations, the Commitments and the other rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 (except such minimum amount shall not apply to an assignment and delegation by a Lender to (x) any other Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender, (y) a group of new Lenders, each of which is an Affiliate or Related Fund of each other so long as the aggregate amount to be assigned to such

35


 

group is at least $5,000,000 or (z) if as a result of such assignment such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto); provided, however, that, Borrower and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses, and related information with respect to the Assignee, have been given to Agent by such Lender and the Assignee, (ii) such Lender and its Assignee have delivered to Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and (iii) the assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent for Agent’s separate account a processing fee in the amount of $5,000. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the payment of any fees shall not be required and the Assignee need not be an Eligible Transferee if (x) such assignment is in connection with any merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or any substantial portion of the business or loan portfolio of the assigning Lender or (y) the assignee is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund of a Lender; provided that any such assignment must otherwise comply with applicable securities laws and the other provisions of this Section 13.1(a).
          (b) From and after the date that Agent notifies the assigning Lender (with a copy to Borrower) that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance and payment of the above-referenced processing fee (if required), (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 10.3 hereof) and be released from any future obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto), and such assignment shall effect a novation between Borrower and the Assignee; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall release any assigning Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Article 15 and Section 16.7 of this Agreement.
          (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (1) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (2) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or the performance or observance by Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (3) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (4) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (5) such Assignee appoints

36


 

and authorizes Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to Agent, by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (6) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
          (d) Immediately upon Agent’s receipt of any processing fee payment (if required) and the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.
          (e) In connection with any such assignment or proposed assignment, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 16.7, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses.
          (f) Agent shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register (the “Register”) on which it shall enter the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitments of, and the principal amount of the Term Loan (and stated interest thereon) owing to, each Lender from time to time. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 13.1(f), the entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable notice.
          (g) A Registered Loan (and the Registered Note evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each Registered Note shall expressly so provide). Any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the Registered Note evidencing the same) may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the Registered Note evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such Registered Note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the Registered Note evidencing the same), Agent and Borrower shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
     13.2 Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, however, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by the Lenders shall release Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section

37


 

13.1 hereof and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, no consent or approval by Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment.
14.   AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS.
     14.1 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or by Agent at the written request of the Required Lenders) and Borrower and then any such waiver or consent shall be effective, but only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such waiver, amendment, or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all of the Lenders and Borrower, do any of the following:
          (a) increase or extend any Commitment of any Lender,
          (b) postpone or delay any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal, interest, fees, or other amounts due hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
          (c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest on, any loan or other extension of credit hereunder, or reduce any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document,
          (d) change the Pro Rata Share that is required to take any action hereunder,
          (e) amend or modify this Section or any provision of this Agreement providing for consent or other action by all Lenders,
          (f) other than as permitted by Section 15.12, release Agent’s Lien in and to any of the Collateral,
          (g) change the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share”,
          (h) contractually subordinate any of the Agent’s Liens,
          (i) release Borrower from any obligation for the payment of money, or
          (j) amend any of the provisions of Sections 2.2, 2.4(b), or 15
and, provided further, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Agent, affect the rights or duties of Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The foregoing notwithstanding, any amendment, modification, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that relates only to the relationship of the Lender Group among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of Borrower, shall not require consent by or the agreement of Borrower.

38


 

     14.2 Replacement of Holdout Lender.
          (a) If any action to be taken by the Lender Group or Agent hereunder requires the unanimous consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders, and a Lender (“Holdout Lender”) fails to give its consent, authorization, or agreement, then Agent, upon at least 5 Business Days prior irrevocable notice to the Holdout Lender, may permanently replace the Holdout Lender with one or more substitute Lenders (each, a “Replacement Lender”), and the Holdout Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Holdout Lender shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than 15 Business Days after the date such notice is given.
          (b) Prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender and each Replacement Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance, subject only to the Holdout Lender being repaid its share of the outstanding Obligations without any premium or penalty of any kind whatsoever. If the Holdout Lender shall refuse or fail to execute and deliver any such Assignment and Acceptance prior to the effective date of such replacement, the Holdout Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Holdout Lender shall be made in accordance with the terms of Section 13.1. Until such time as the Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitment, and the other rights and obligations of the Holdout Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Holdout Lender shall remain obligated to make the Holdout Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan.
     14.3 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement. Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that Agent or any Lender may have.
15.   AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP.
     15.1 Appointment and Authorization of Agent. Each Lender hereby designates and appoints PEMG as its representative under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other 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 Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 15. The provisions of this Section 15 (other than the proviso to Section 15.11(a)) are solely for the benefit of Agent, and the Lenders, and Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall have no rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or

responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any 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 Agent; it being expressly understood and agreed that the use of the word “Agent” is for convenience only, that PEMG is merely the representative of the Lenders, and only has the contractual duties set forth herein. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) make portions of the Loans, for itself or on behalf of Lenders as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute the Collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management accounts as Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes with respect to the Collateral and the Collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Borrower, the Obligations, the Collateral, the Collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents.
     15.2 Delegation of Duties. 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. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
     15.3 Liability of Agent. None of the Agent Related Persons 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 for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower, or any officer or director 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 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 for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or

40


 

performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of Borrower or the books or records or properties of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
     15.4 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the requisite Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent shall refrain from acting as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the requisite Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.
     15.5 Notice of Default or Event of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders and except with respect to Events of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 15.4, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Section 8; provided, however, that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may refrain from taking such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.
     15.6 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend

41


 

credit to Borrower. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower and any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons.
     15.7 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrower is obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from the Collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses from the Collections of Borrower and its Subsidiaries received by Agent, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to or reimburse Agent for the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Agent Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to their Pro Rata Shares, from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make any portion of the Term Loan or any other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent.
     15.8 Agent in Individual Capacity. PEMG and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and

42


 

generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though PEMG were not Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, PEMG or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include PEMG in its individual capacity.
     15.9 Successor Agent. Agent may resign as Agent upon 45 days notice to the Lenders (or such shorter period agreed to by the Agent and the Required Lenders). If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders (with Borrower’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, as long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and then be continuing) shall appoint a successor Agent for the Lenders. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor Agent. If Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a successor Agent from among the Lenders. In any such event, 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 “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the effective date of a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.
     15.10 Lender in Individual Capacity. Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Borrower and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such Lender shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

     15.11 Withholding Taxes.
          (a) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. In addition, all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Taxes, and in the event any deduction or withholding of Taxes is required, Borrower shall comply with the penultimate sentence of this Section 15.11(a), subject to receipt of the necessary forms from the Lenders. “Taxes” shall mean, any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such payments (but excluding any tax imposed by any jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein measured by or based on the net income or net profits of Lender) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto. If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, any note, or Loan Document, including any amount paid pursuant to this Section 15.11(a) after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts if the increase in such amount payable results from Agent’s or such Lender’s own willful misconduct or gross negligence (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Borrower will furnish to Lender as promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Tax is due pursuant to applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by any Borrower.
          (b) (i) If a Lender claims an exemption from United States withholding tax, such Lender shall deliver to Agent (or, in the case of an assignee of a Lender which is (x) a Qualified Affiliate or Qualified Related Fund of such Lender, and (y) for which an Assignment and Acceptance is not delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 13.1(c), to the assigning Lender only, and in the case of a participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) the following:
                    (A) if such Lender claims an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested in writing by Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable;
                    (B) if such Lender claims that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, two properly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested in writing by Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable; or
                    (C) such other form or forms, including IRS Form W-9, as may be required under the IRC or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested in writing by Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable.

44


 

                    (ii) If a Lender claims an exemption from United States withholding tax pursuant to the portfolio interest exception, such Lender represents that such Lender (v) is not a “bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (w) is not a 10% shareholder of Borrower within the meaning of Sections 871(h)(3)(B) or 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRC, (x) is not a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrower within the meaning of Sections 864(d)(4) and 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRC, (y) has no arrangement with Borrower that would cause the interest to be “contingent” within the meaning of Sections 871(h)(4) and 881(c)(4) of the IRC, and (z) does not reside in a foreign country described in Sections 871(h)(6) or 881(c)(6) of the IRC. Each such Lender shall deliver to Agent (or, in the case of an assignment to a Qualified Affiliate or Qualified Related Fund that is made pursuant to Section 13.1(c), to the assigning Lender) a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN, before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested in writing by Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Lender may provide a form W-8IMY, where applicable, with appropriate forms attached thereto.
          Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable, of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 15.11, no Lender shall be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.
          (c) If a Lender claims an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax in a jurisdiction other than the United States, such Lender shall deliver to Agent (or, in the case of an assignee of a Lender which is (x) a Qualified Affiliate or Qualified Related Fund of such Lender, and (y) for which an Assignment and Acceptance is not delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section 13.1(c), to the assigning Lender only, and in the case of a participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) any such form or forms, as may be required under the laws of such jurisdiction as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, foreign withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement and at any other time reasonably requested in writing by Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable.
          Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable, of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.
          (d) If any Lender is entitled to a reduction in the applicable withholding tax, Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax after taking into account such reduction. If the forms or other documentation required by subsection (b) or (c) of this Section 15.11 are not delivered in accordance with such subsections, then Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable, may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.
          (e) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable, did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender due to a failure on

45


 

the part of the Lender (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the proper Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable, harmless for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable, as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable by Agent or the assigning Lender, as applicable, under this Section 15.11, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent.
     15.12 Collateral Matters.
          (a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Lien on any Collateral (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or desirable in connection therewith and if Borrower certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is permitted under Section 6.4 of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries owned any interest at the time the Agent’s Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, or (iv) constituting property leased to Borrower or its Subsidiaries under a lease that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement. Except as provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders, or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders. Upon request by Agent or Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 15.12; provided, however, that (1) Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of Borrower in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.
          (b) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other

46


 

duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise provided herein.
     15.13 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.
          (a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrower or any Deposit Accounts of Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings, to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.
          (b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender’s ratable portion of all such distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (1) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (2) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.
     15.14 Agency for Perfection. Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting the Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Division 8 or Division 9, as applicable, of the Code can be perfected only by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.
     15.15 Payments by Agent to the Lenders. All payments to be made by Agent to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations.
     15.16 Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan

47


 

Documents. Each member of the Lender Group agrees that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.
     15.17 Field Audits and Examination Reports; Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender:
          (a) is deemed to have requested that Agent furnish such Lender, promptly after it becomes available, a copy of each field audit or examination report (each a “Report” and collectively, “Reports”) prepared by or at the request of Agent, and Agent shall so furnish each Lender with such Reports,
          (b) expressly agrees and acknowledges that Agent does not (i) make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of any Report, and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report,
          (c) expressly agrees and acknowledges that the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, that Agent or other party performing any audit or examination will inspect only specific information regarding Borrower and will rely significantly upon the books and records of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, as well as on representations of Borrower’s personnel,
          (d) agrees to keep all Reports and other material, non-public information regarding Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance with Section 16.7, and
          (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, agrees: (i) to hold Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or fail to take or any conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any loans or other credit accommodations that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a loan or loans of Borrower; and (ii) to pay and protect, and indemnify, defend and hold Agent, and any such other Lender preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including, attorneys fees and costs) incurred by Agent and any such other Lender preparing a Report as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.
In addition to the foregoing: (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by Borrower to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by Borrower to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information from Borrower, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request

48


 

Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of Borrower the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from Borrower, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender.
     15.18 Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section 16.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to Borrower or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for it or on its behalf in connection with its Commitment, nor to take any other action on its behalf hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.
16.   GENERAL PROVISIONS.
     16.1 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Borrower, Agent, and each Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof.

     16.3 Interpretation. Neither this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein or therein shall be construed or resolved against the Lender Group or Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement.

The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on Form S-1 or such other appropriate form for which the Company then qualifies or that counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate, which form shall be available for the sale of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the methods of distribution thereof intended by the Holders, which methods shall be communicated in writing as a plan of distribution in advance to the Company and shall be subject to comments of the staff of the Commission). Such Registration Statement may also include additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to “piggyback” or similar registration rights previously granted by the Company, but only to the extent that the Company in good faith determines that it is required by the terms of such “piggy back” or similar rights to include additional shares in such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities, taking into account the nature of the securities and manner of disposition proposed by such Holders, to the extent that the Commission or its staff advises the Company in writing that the Registrable Securities may not be registered for sale as proposed, or objects to such registration in writing, or to the extent that such registration is not allowed by law or applicable regulation. If any Registrable Securities otherwise required to be registered hereunder are not able to be registered pursuant to the prior sentence, then such securities shall not be required to be registered until the later to occur of both(a) such securities becoming registrable (taking into account the nature of securities and the method of distribution proposed) under applicable law, regulation or Commission comment, as applicable, and (b) written notice to the Company requesting such registration.
          The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the Effectiveness Date. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act, except as provided herein, until the date which is the earlier date of when (i) all Registrable Securities have been sold, (ii) the date on which all of the Shares are no longer Registrable Securities, or (iii) two years from the date hereof (the “Effectiveness Period”).

4


 

          (b) If: (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date; (ii) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date; (iii) after the Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission, the Registration Statement ceases to be effective (by suspension or otherwise) or cannot, by virtue of the provisions of Section 9(d) hereof, be used by the Holders due to any Discontinuation Event, as to all Registrable Securities to which it is required to relate at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective) for a period of time which shall exceed 60 days in the aggregate per year or more than 30 consecutive calendar days (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the Registration Statement is declared effective); or (iv) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted, or is suspended from trading on any Trading Market for a period of five (5) consecutive Trading Days (provided the Company shall not have been able to cure such trading suspension within 30 days of the notice thereof or list the Common Stock on another Trading Market); (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clause (i) or (ii) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (iii) the date which such 60 day or 30 consecutive day period (as the case may be) is exceeded or for purposes of clause (iv) the date on which such five (5) Trading Day period is exceeded, being referred to as “Event Date”), then:
               until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to two percent (2.0%) of the Registrable Securities Value held by such Holder for each thirty (30) day period (prorated for partial periods and computed on a daily basis; provided that if the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date, then for any liquidated damages with respect to such failure to file, liquidated damages shall be calculated as if the Filing Date was sixty (60) days after the date hereof. While such Event continues, such liquidated damages shall be paid not less often than each thirty (30) days. Any unpaid liquidated damages as of the date when an Event has been cured by the Company shall be paid within three (3) business days following the date on which such Event has been cured by the Company.
          (c) Within five business days of the Effectiveness Date, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a blanket opinion, in such form as is reasonably requested by the Securityholders, to the transfer agent stating that the applicable shares are subject to an effective registration statement and can be reissued free of restrictive legend upon notice of a sale by the Holder and confirmation by the Holder that it has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, provided that the Company has not advised the transfer agent orally or in writing that the opinion has been withdrawn. Copies of the blanket opinion required by this Section 2(c) shall be delivered to the Holder within the five business day time frame set forth above.
     3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act (including the registration required to be filed before the Filing Date pursuant to Section 2 above), the Company will, as soon as reasonably possible:
          (a) prepare and file with the Commission the Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the Commission, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become and remain effective for the Effectiveness Period with respect thereto, and

5


 

promptly provide to the Holders copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment relating thereto;
          (b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be reasonably necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement and to keep such Registration Statement effective until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period;
          (c) furnish to the Holders such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein (including each preliminary Prospectus) as each Holder reasonably may request to facilitate the public sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement;
          (d) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify for unsolicited purchase and sale the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder may reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified;
          (e) list the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement with any Trading Market on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;
          (f) immediately notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing;
          (g) make available for inspection by the Holders and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or any agent for the Holders designated in the Credit Agreement, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the attorney, accountant or agent of the Holders;
          (h) to the extent reasonably requested by the Holders, enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form and participate in “road shows” and similar presentations reasonably requested by any underwriters; and
          (i) cause the Company’s counsel and independent accountants to deliver to any underwriters and/or the Holders opinions and comfort letters in customary form as reasonably requested by the Holders or by any underwriting agreement entered into by the Holders and the Company.
     4. Registration Expenses. The Company shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay all Registration Expenses relating to the Company’s compliance with Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.

6


 

     5. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view toward making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Common Stock to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to:
          (a) make and keep current public information available, within the meaning of Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act until the earlier of: (i) six months after such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect without volume limitations or current information requirements, or (ii) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been resold;
          (b) file with the Commission, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
          (c) so long as any party hereto owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such party forthwith upon request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as such party may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.
     6. Obligations of the Holders.
          (a) Each Holder shall furnish in writing to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may be reasonably required to effect such registration. At least seven (7) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of any Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Holder of the information the Company requires from such Holder if such Holder elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. Each Holder shall provide such information to the Company at least two (2) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement if such Holder elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. The Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a Holder in a Registration Statement and shall not be required to pay any liquidated damages or other damages under this Agreement to a Holder resulting from any delay in registration caused by the failure of such Holder to furnish to the Company such information at least two (2) business days prior to such filing date.
          (b) Each Holder, by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Holder has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
          (c) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice (which may be oral as long as written notice is provided by the next day) from the Company of the happening of a Discontinuation Event (which notice shall contain an explanation of the nature of the Discontinuation Event without providing material non-public information), such Holder will

7


 

immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until otherwise notified in writing by the Company or until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus filed with the SEC and until any related post-effective amendment is declared effective.
          (d) The Holder acknowledges and agrees that, as described in Schedule 6(d) hereto, other security holders of the Company have the right to include such securities, in addition to the Registrable Securities, in any Registration Statement filed or maintained by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.
          (e) No Holder may use any confidential information received by it pursuant to this Agreement in violation of the Exchange Act, or other applicable state or federal securities law or reproduce, disclose, or disseminate such information to any other person (other than his or her attorneys, agents and representatives having a need to know, and then only if they expressly agree to be bound hereby), unless such information has been made available to the public generally (other than by such recipient in violation hereof) or such recipient is required to disclose such information by a governmental body or regulatory agency or by law in connection with a transaction that is not otherwise prohibited hereby, and then only after reasonable notice to the Company and it has been provided a reasonable opportunity to object to such disclosure, with the reasonable cooperation and assistance of such Holder. Each Holder agrees to comply in all material respects with the Securities Act and other applicable laws in connection with the offer or sale of any Registrable Securities; provided, however, that any failure to comply that is due to any breach by the Company of its obligations hereunder or under applicable securities laws (including any misstatements or omission of material facts by the Company in its public disclosure documents) shall not constitute a breach of this Section 6(e) by the Holder. The obligations in this Section 6(e) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
     Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing herein shall obligate the Company to provide to the Holders, or any advisors or representatives or underwriters any material nonpublic information. The Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to the Holders, or to advisors to or representatives of the Holders, pursuant to this Agreement unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides the Holders, such advisors and representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and any Holder wishing to obtain such information enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect thereto.
     7. Indemnification.
          (a) In connection with any registration or qualification of the Registrable Securities under this Agreement, (i) the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Holders, including but not limited to each Person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable expenses incurred in investigating, preparing and defending against any claim) to which a Holder or such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon or are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have

8


 

furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or Free Writing Prospectus furnished by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or insofar as the same arise out of or are based upon or are caused by any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are ultimately determined to have arisen out of or were based upon or were caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Holder or such control person specifically for inclusion in any Registration Statement, Prospectus (and any amendments or supplements thereto) or Free Writing Prospectus (it being understood that the Holders have approved the plan of distribution included in the Registration Statement for this purpose and shall be deemed to have been specifically furnished by such Holders), or in the case of an occurrence of a Discontinuation Event, the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of such amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such liability would have been corrected, (ii) each Holder, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify the Company, its affiliates, any person who signed any Registration Statement, and their respective officers, directors and control persons against all such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable expenses incurred in investigating, preparing and defending against any claim) insofar as the same are ultimately determined to have arisen out of or were based upon or were caused by any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or any such omission or alleged omission based upon written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder or any such control person specifically for the inclusion in any Registration Statement, Prospectus (and any amendments or supplements thereto) or Free Writing Prospectus, (it being understood that the Holders have approved the plan of distribution included in the Registration Statement for this purpose and shall be deemed to have been specifically furnished by such Holders), or in the case of an occurrence of a Discontinuation Event, the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of an amended or supplemented Prospectus, but only if and to the extent that following the receipt of such amended or supplemented Prospectus the misstatement or omission giving rise to such liability would have been corrected.
          (b) Notice of, and Procedures for, Collecting Indemnification. Promptly upon receipt by a party indemnified under this Agreement of notice of the commencement of any action against such indemnified party in respect of which indemnity or reimbursement may be sought against any indemnifying party under this Agreement, such indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of such action, but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it of any liability which it may have to any indemnified party under this Agreement unless such failure shall materially and adversely affect the defense of such action. In case notice of commencement of any such action shall be given to the indemnifying party as above provided, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel (other than reasonable expenses incurred in investigating, preparing and defending against any claim) shall be paid by the indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the indemnifying

9


 

party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party), or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) have been advised by such counsel that representation of such indemnified party and the indemnifying party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party). In the event that either of the circumstances described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the sentence immediately preceding shall occur, the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of any such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Holder shall be required to indemnify any person or entity in excess of the amount of the aggregate net proceeds received by such Holder in respect of Registrable Securities in connection with any such registration under the Securities Act.
          (c) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to an indemnified party under paragraphs (a) and (b) hereof, other than as expressly set forth above, in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then an indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims or damages (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Holder(s) on the other hand from the offering of the Registrable Securities, and any other securities included in the Registration Statement which gave rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holder(s) on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Holder(s) on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bears to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Holders, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the prospectus. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Holder(s) on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Holder(s) and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission
     8. Representations and Warranties. The Common Stock of the Company is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the Company has filed all reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act for the twelve months preceding the date hereof on a timely basis or has timely filed a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed such reports prior to the expiration of any such extension. The Company has filed (i) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended February 3, 2007 and (ii) its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for each of its first three fiscal quarters after February 3, 2007 (collectively, the “SEC Reports”). Each SEC

10

Schedule 6(d)
1. Registration rights granted to prior holders of the Company’s subordinated convertible debentures (2004):
The Company granted certain demand and other registration rights to the prior holders of its subordinated convertible debentures due 2007 under the terms and conditions of a certain Second Registration Rights Agreement dated January 2, 2004 by and among the Company and the selling shareholders (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 4.2.1 of Amendment No. 3 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-86332), filed with the SEC on January 8, 2004) (“Second Registration Rights Agreement”).
The Company registered 653,331 shares of common stock pursuant to this agreement. See Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 on Form S-3 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-112386) and prospectus dated May 9, 2005 (the “2005 Debenture Shares Registration Statement”).
2. Registration rights granted to representatives of the underwriters in connection with the Company’s initial public offering:
The Company granted certain demand, piggy-back and other registration rights in connection with the warrants issued in connection with our initial public offering pursuant to the terms of that certain Representatives’ Warrant Agreement, dated February 10, 2004 by and among the Company, Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. and BB&T Capital Markets, a Division of Scott & Stringfellow, Inc. (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 4.3 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2004 filed on April 2, 2004 (File No. 000-50563)) (“Representatives’ Warrant Agreement”). In connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the Company issued to the representatives of the underwriters and their designees warrants to purchase up to 216,000 shares of common stock, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, at an exercise price equal to $12.7875 per share. Warrants to purchase up to 121,500 shares of common stock remain unexercised. The warrant holders may exercise the warrants at any time during the four-year period commencing on February 10, 2005. The warrant holders are entitled to receive, at any time and from time to time, shares of common stock under a cashless exercise provision based on the value of the warrants at the time of exercise. The Company is obligated to register the shares underlying these warrants and has other obligations to the representatives of the underwriters pursuant to the Representatives’ Warrant Agreement.
Under the terms of the Representatives’ Warrant Agreement, the Company is required for a period of five years after February 10, 2004, (i) at the request of a majority of the warrant holders, to use its best efforts to file one registration statement, at its expense, covering the sale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants and (ii) at the request of any holders of warrants, to file additional registration statements covering the shares of common stock underlying the warrants at the expense of those holders. The Company is required to maintain the effectiveness of any demand registration statement for up to nine consecutive months. Except for the registration rights that it granted to the prior holders of its previously outstanding subordinated convertible debentures, the Company generally agreed not to make any registered offering of its securities, with limited exceptions, or to include any other shares on any such demand registration statement, at any time that the Company is required to maintain the effectiveness of a demand registration statement under the agreement, without first obtaining the consent of a majority of the holders of warrants

and warrant shares that are not then held by the public or by the Company or other excepted persons who have a relationship with the Company and the Company’s affiliates. See Section 7.4(g) of the Representatives’ Warrant Agreement. In connection with the Company’s April 8, 2005 private placement, the majority-in-interest of the warrant holders waived certain of these rights.
In addition, the Company is required to include the shares of common stock underlying the warrants in any appropriate registration statement that it files during the six years following the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering. In connection with the April 2005 private placement, in addition to the registration rights described above, the Company agreed to register the shares underlying the warrants described above. The Company has registered for resale the shares underlying these warrants in a registration statement which also relates to the common stock and warrants issued in our April 8, 2005 private placement although the above described registration rights still exist. See Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-124672) and prospectus dated May 25, 2005 and prospectus supplement thereto dated February 21, 2006 (the “2005 PIPE Registration Statement”).
The Company is required to provide 30 days prior written notice to the Holders under the Representatives’ Warrant Agreement prior to filing any other registration statement and to afford each of the Representatives and such Holders of the Warrants and/or Warrant Shares the opportunity to have any such Warrant Shares registered under such registration statement.
3. Registration rights granted in connection with April 2005 private placement transaction:
In connection with the Company’s private placement in April 2005, the Company issued, to the investors and the placement agent in that offering, warrants to purchase 250,000 shares and 125,000 shares, respectively, of our common stock, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments, at an exercise price of $10.18 per share. The warrants issued in the private placement are generally exercisable until April 8, 2010. We generally have the right to call the warrants issued in April 2005 to the investors, but not the placement agent, at a redemption price equal to $0.01 per share, which will likely cause their exercise into shares of common stock, in the event that the closing bid price of a share of our common stock equals or exceeds $25.00 per share for any 20 consecutive trading days commencing after the registration statement relating to the shares is declared effective.
Under the terms of the investor warrants, we are required to exercise such right within one business day immediately following the end of any such 20 day trading period. The private placement warrant holders are entitled to receive shares of our common stock under a cashless exercise provision if the registration statement required by the applicable registration rights agreement was not declared effective by April 8, 2006, or if sales of such shares cannot be made for any reason, subject to limited exceptions. The cashless exercise provision of the warrants issued to the placement agent is generally available to the placement agent and not subject to restrictions.
We were obligated to register the shares issued and underlying the warrants issued in the private placement and have other obligations to the investors and the placement agent pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated April 8, 2005 by and among the Company, the Investors named therein and Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 4.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K (File No. 000-50563), filed on April 13, 2005) (the “2005 Registration Rights Agreement”). Under the 2005 Registration Rights Agreement, the Company must file a registration statement upon the written demand of any Investor (as defined therein).

Also pursuant to the 2005 Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed, at its expense, a registration statement with the SEC which was declared effective on May 25, 2005 and covers the resale of the shares of common stock issued in the April 2005 private placement, the shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued to the investors and the placement agent in the April 2005 private placement and the 216,000 shares of common stock underlying the warrants granted to the representatives of the underwriters in connection with our initial public offering. Investor warrants relating to up to 137,500 shares of our common stock and placement agent warrants relating to up to 125,000 shares of our common stock are outstanding, respectively.
Although the Company has already registered the shares of common stock sold in connection with the Company’s 2005 private placement, the warrants issued to the investors and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the placement agent warrants, the above described registration rights still exist.
4. Registration rights granted in connection with June 2007 issuance of the Company’s subordinated convertible debentures:
Reference is made to that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated June 26, 2007 by and among the Company and the securityholders named therein (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 4.5 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 2, 2007) (the “Debenture Registration Rights Agreement”).
On June 26, 2007 the Company issued $4 million aggregate principal amount of subordinated convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) in a private placement. The Debentures are convertible into shares of the Borrower’s common stock at any time. The initial conversion price is $9.00 per share, subject to the limitations and adjustments provided in the Debentures. Based on the initial conversion price, the Debentures are convertible into an aggregate of 444,441 shares of the Borrower’s common stock, after eliminating fractional shares. The Borrower generally has the right, but not the obligation, to call the Debentures at any time prior to conversion if the closing price of the Borrower’s common stock (as adjusted for stock dividends, subdivisions or combinations) is equal to or above $16.00 per share for each of 20 consecutive trading days and certain other equity conditions and other conditions are met.
The conversion price, and thus the number of shares into which the Debentures are convertible, is subject to anti-dilution adjustments relating to stock dividends, or subdivisions or combination of the Borrower’s capital stock.
In addition, the Debentures contain a weighted average conversion price adjustment generally for future issuances, at prices less than the then current conversion price, of common stock or securities convertible into, or options to purchase, shares of common stock, excluding generally currently outstanding options, warrants or performance shares and any future issuances pursuant to any properly authorized equity compensation plans. The conversion price of the Debentures will be affected by the term loan transaction, although the exact impact will not be calculated until after closing.
The Company also entered into the Debenture Registration Rights Agreement with the debenture holders in respect of the shares of common stock underlying the Debentures. As described in more detail below, the Debenture Registration Rights Agreement generally provides for certain demand

3


 

and “piggy-back” registration rights for a period of up to two years after all of the principal amount of the Debentures cease to be outstanding. The Company also has certain other ongoing obligations, including providing the debenture holders with specified notices and certain information, making required SEC filings, indemnifying the Debenture holders for certain liabilities and generally paying expenses of the Debenture holders. Under the Debenture Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has the right to suspend use of the registration statement for not more than 30 consecutive days or for a total of more than 60 days in any 12 month period in certain circumstances.
Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company must file a registration statement upon the written demand of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities (as defined therein) until two years after all of the principal amount of the Debentures ceases to be outstanding. Furthermore, the Debenture holders have piggy-back registration rights until two years after all of the principal amount of the Debentures ceases to be outstanding. The Company is required to provide 30 days prior written notice to the Debenture holders prior to filing any other registration statement and to afford each of the securityholders the opportunity to have their Registrable Securities registered under such registration statement.

Common stock, $0.0001 par value per share; 40,000,000 shares authorized; 6,655,856 shares issued and outstanding.
Shares issuable pursuant to the Borrower’s stock plans:
     1. Bakers Footwear Group, Inc. 2003 Stock Option Plan as amended: Options relating to 1,368,992 shares of common stock, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments, are authorized under the 2003 Stock Option Plan, as amended, as follows (the “2003 Stock Option Plan”). The description of the 2003 Stock Option plan under the heading “Approval of the Bakers Footwear Group, Inc. 2003 Stock Option Plan, As Amended to Authorize Options Relating to an Additional 500,000 Shares of Common Stock (Proxy Item No. 2)” in the Borrower’s 2006 proxy statement is incorporated herein by reference. Also, please refer to the Borrower’s 2007 proxy statement for additional information on the plan.
     (A) Options relating to 4,718 shares are issued and outstanding at an exercise price of $0.01 per share; all are fully vested.
     (B) Options relating to 683,507 shares are issued and outstanding at a weighted average exercise price of $9.66 per share; the options generally vest in either three or five equal annual installments beginning on the anniversary date of the date of grant. Please see Form of Nonqualified Option Award Agreement under the Bakers Footwear Group, Inc. 2003 Stock Option Plan (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 10.2 to the Borrower’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 21, 2007 (File No. 000-50563)).
     (C) Options relating to 344,654 shares of common stock remain available for future issuance under the 2003 Stock Option Plan.
2. Bakers Footwear Group, Inc. 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan: Authorized shares issuable under the plan are 250,000, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments. Generally, awards under the plan can include performance share awards, restricted stock awards, awards based in stock other than performance share awards or restricted stock awards and long-term incentive awards. The description of the 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan under the heading “Approval of Bakers Footwear Group, Inc. 2005 Incentive Compensation Plan (Proxy Item No. 2)” in the Borrower’s 2005 proxy statement is incorporated herein by reference. Also, please refer to the Borrower’s 2007 proxy statement for additional information on the plan. Performance shares relating to a maximum of 152,376 shares of common stock have been granted and remain outstanding. These performance shares are contingent upon the achievement of performance objectives relating to compound annual growth rate in net sales and return on average assets for the three year periods ending in fiscal year 2008 and 2009.

 


 

On October 3, 2007, Borrower issued 69,000 restricted stock awards under the plan. The restricted stock fully vests on the fifth anniversary of the grant date, or October 3, 2012. However, the Compensation Committee retains the discretion to vest, in full, pro-rata or not at all, restricted stock awards upon death, disability, retirement or otherwise.
Shares issuable pursuant to warrants granted in connection with initial public offering: The Borrower issued warrants relating to 216,000 shares, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments, at an exercise price of $12.7875 per share, to the representatives of the underwriters in connection with the Borrower’s initial public offering. The warrants became exercisable on February 10, 2005 and expire on February 10, 2009. Warrants to purchase up to 121,500 shares of common stock remain unexercised.
Shares issuable pursuant to warrants granted in connection with April 2005 private placement: In connection with the Borrower’s private placement in April 2005, the Borrower issued, to the investors and the placement agent in that offering, warrants to purchase 250,000 shares and 125,000 shares, respectively, of common stock, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustments, at an exercise price of $10.18 per share. The warrants issued in that private placement are generally exercisable until April 8, 2010. The Borrower generally has the right to call the warrants issued in April 2005 to the investors, but not the placement agent, at a redemption price equal to $0.01 per share, which will likely cause their exercise into shares of common stock, in the event that the closing bid price of a share of the Borrower’s common stock equals or exceeds $25.00 per share for any 20 consecutive trading days commencing after the registration statement relating to the shares is declared effective. Under the terms of the investor warrants, the Borrower is required to exercise such right within one business day immediately following the end of any such 20 day trading period. Investor warrants relating to up to 137,500 shares of common stock and placement agent warrants relating to up to 125,000 shares of common stock are outstanding, respectively.
Shares issuable in connection with June 2007 private placement of subordinated convertible debentures. In connection with Borrower’s private placement in June 2007, Borrower issued $4 million in aggregate principal amount of subordinated convertible debentures (the “Debentures”). The Debentures are convertible into shares of the Borrower’s common stock at any time. The initial conversion price is $9.00 per share, subject to the limitations and adjustments provided in the Debentures. Based on the initial conversion price, the Debentures are convertible into an aggregate of 444,441 shares of the Borrower’s common stock, after eliminating fractional shares. The Borrower generally has the right, but not the obligation, to call the Debentures at any time prior to conversion if the closing price of the Borrower’s common stock (as adjusted for stock dividends, subdivisions or combinations) is equal to or above $16.00 per share for each of 20 consecutive trading days and certain other equity conditions and other conditions are met.
The conversion price, and thus the number of shares into which the Debentures are convertible, is subject to anti-dilution adjustments relating to stock dividends, or subdivisions or combination of the Borrower’s capital stock.
In addition, the Debentures contain a weighted average conversion price adjustment generally for future issuances, at prices less than the then current conversion price, of common stock or securities convertible into, or options to purchase, shares of common stock, excluding generally currently outstanding options, warrants or performance shares and any future issuances pursuant to any

 


 

properly authorized equity compensation plans. The issuance of shares of common stock in this transaction will trigger the weighted average conversion price adjustment.
In accordance with rules of Nasdaq, the Debentures contain limitations on the number of shares issuable pursuant to the Debentures regardless of how low the conversion price may be in the future, subject to the removal of those limitations if shareholder approval of the removal of that limitation is obtained. First, the Debentures provide that if the average conversion price is less than the market price as of the time of signing of the purchase agreement, which was $8.10, then the Borrower may not issue more than 19.99% of the outstanding share of the Borrower’s common stock as of the date of signing the Purchase Agreement, which amounts to 1,297,957 shares. Second, the Debentures provide that the number of shares that may be acquired by an Investor upon any conversion is limited to the extent necessary to insure that, following such conversion, the total number of shares beneficially owned by that Investor may not exceed 19.999% of the then outstanding total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Third, for Debentures issued to advisory directors, corporate directors or entities affiliated with such directors, the conversion price is limited so that generally it may not be less than $8.10, regardless of the operation of the weighted average conversion price adjustment. The Borrower has agreed to seek shareholder approval of the removal of those limitations if certain conditions are met.

1   The subordinated convertible debentures contain a weighted average conversion price adjustment which will affect the number of shares of Borrower’s common stock that are issuable upon conversion of such debentures. The adjustment occurs upon the occurrence of certain corporate transactions, including this term loan. In addition to the 444,441 shares of common stock that have been reserved, the Borrower’s Board of Directors has also reserved the additional shares of common stock that may be issued upon a change in the conversion price of the debentures.

 


 

Engagement Letters:
Ryan Beck & Co., Inc. (“Ryan Beck”) and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”). Under the terms of an engagement letter dated July 10, 2006, Ryan Beck (which was recently acquired by Stifel) was entitled to certain compensation for sales of securities to certain investors for a period of one year following termination of the July 10, 2006 engagement letter (the “Tail Period”). The Tail Period ends on May 7, 2008. Ryan Beck waived its right to receive compensation (during the Tail Period) solely with respect to the offer and sale of the Debentures pursuant to a certain waiver letter dated May 21, 2007. The Company and Stifel entered into a new engagement letter dated May 21, 2007 whereby Stifel agreed to provide certain services to the Company in connection with the sale of the Debentures.
(c) The Borrower does not have any subsidiaries.

The Borrower does not have the right to use “Bakers” and “Wild Pair” in certain places outside of the United States. The information under “Risk Factors—Our ability to expand into some territorial and foreign jurisdictions under the trademarks ‘Bakers’ and ‘Wild Pair’ is restricted” and “Risk Factors—Our potential inability or failure to renew, register or otherwise protect our trademarks could have a negative impact on the value of our brand names” of the Borrower’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2007 is incorporated herein by reference.
