WHEREAS, the Borrowers and each Guarantor are engaged in related businesses and/or are contractually obligated to one another via customer/supplier relationships and otherwise integrated to such an extent that the financial strength and flexibility of each Borrower and Guarantor has a direct impact on the success of each other Borrower and Guarantor;
WHEREAS, each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 6.13 of the Credit Agreement and as a condition to the agreement of the Administrative Agent and each Lender to continue to make available financial accommodations to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor is required to guarantee payment of the Obligations.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants hereinafter contained, and to induce the Lenders to provide the Loans and other financial accommodations under the Credit Agreement, it is agreed as follows:
AGREEMENT:
1. | DEFINITIONS. |
(a) Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Credit Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein.
(b) References to this “Guaranty” shall mean this Guaranty, including all amendments, modifications and supplements and any annexes, exhibits and schedules to any of the foregoing, and shall refer to this Guaranty as the same may be in effect at the time such reference becomes operative.

2. | THE GUARANTY. |
2.1Guaranty of Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrowers. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of the Obligations of the Borrowers (hereinafter the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors agree that this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and that their obligations under this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:
(a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in this Guaranty, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Borrower and/or any Guarantors are or may become a party;
(b) the absence of any action to enforce this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders with respect to any of the provisions thereof;
(c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any Collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by the Administrative Agent in respect thereof (including, without limitation, the release of any such security);
(d) the insolvency of any Borrower or any other Guarantor; or
(e) any other action or circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, it being agreed by each Guarantor that its obligations under this Guaranty shall not be discharged (subject, however, to any reinstatement provisions contained herein) until the Termination Date. Each Guarantor shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that any notice or directive given at any time to the Administrative Agent which is inconsistent with the waiver in the immediately preceding sentence shall be null and void and may be ignored by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and, in addition, may not be pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this Guaranty for the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with the written terms of this Guaranty, unless the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have specifically agreed otherwise in writing. It is agreed among each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents and that, but for this Guaranty and such waivers, Administrative Agent and the Lenders would decline to continue to perform the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement.
2
2.2Demand by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. In addition to the terms of the Guaranty set forth inSection 2.1 hereof, and in no manner imposing any limitation on such terms, it is expressly understood and agreed that, if, at any time, the outstanding principal amount of the Guaranteed Obligations under the Credit Agreement (including all accrued interest thereon) is declared to be immediately due and payable, then the Guarantors shall, without demand, pay to the holders of the Guaranteed Obligations the entire outstanding Guaranteed Obligations due and owing to such holders. Payment by the Guarantors shall be made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available Federal funds to an account designated by the Administrative Agent or at the address set forth herein for the giving of notice to the Administrative Agent or at any other address that may be specified in writing from time to time by the Administrative Agent, and shall be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations.
2.3Enforcement of Guaranty. In no event shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation (although it is entitled, at its option) to proceed against any Borrower or any Collateral pledged to secure Guaranteed Obligations before seeking satisfaction from any or all of the Guarantors, and the Administrative Agent may proceed, prior or subsequent to, or simultaneously with, the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder, to exercise any right or remedy which it may have against any Collateral, as a result of any Lien it may have as security for all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.
2.4Waiver. In addition to the waivers contained inSection 2.1 hereof, the Guarantors waive, and agree that they shall not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshaling of assets or redemption laws, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by the Guarantors of their Guaranteed Obligations under, or the enforcement by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of, this Guaranty. The Guarantors hereby waive diligence, presentment and demand (whether for non-payment or protest or of acceptance, maturity, extension of time, change in nature or form of the Guaranteed Obligations, acceptance of further security, release of further security, composition or agreement arrived at as to the amount of, or the terms of, the Guaranteed Obligations, notice of adverse change in any Borrower’s financial condition or any other fact which might increase the risk to the Guarantors) with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or all other demands whatsoever and waive the benefit of all provisions of law which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Guaranty. The Guarantors represent, warrant and jointly and severally agree that, as of the date of this Guaranty, their obligations under this Guaranty are not subject to any counterclaims, offsets or defenses of any kind against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders. The Guarantors further jointly and severally agree that their obligations under this Guaranty shall not be subject to any counterclaims, offsets or defenses against the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any kind which may arise in the future, other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.
3
2.5Benefit of Guaranty. The provisions of this Guaranty are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any Borrower and the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, the obligations of such Borrower under the Loan Documents. In the event all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations are transferred, indorsed or assigned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Person or Persons, any reference to the “Administrative Agent” or the “Lender” herein shall be deemed to refer equally to such Person or Persons.
2.6Modification of Guaranteed Obligations, Etc. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at any time or from time to time, with or without the consent of, or notice to, the Guarantors or any of them: change or extend the manner, place or terms of payment of, or renew or alter all or any portion of, the Guaranteed Obligations;
4
(a) in accordance with Section 10.03 of the Credit Agreement, take any action under or in respect of the Loan Documents in the exercise of any remedy, power or privilege contained therein or available to it at law, equity or otherwise, or waive or refrain from exercising any such remedies, powers or privileges;
(b) in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, amend or modify, in any manner whatsoever, the Loan Documents;
(c) extend or waive the time for the Borrowers’ performance of, or compliance with, any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under the Loan Documents, or waive such performance or compliance or consent to a failure of, or departure from, such performance or compliance;
(d) subject to the terms of the Security Agreement, take and hold Collateral for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby or sell, exchange, release, dispose of, or otherwise deal with, any property pledged, mortgaged or conveyed, or in which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders have been granted a Lien, to secure any Obligations;
(e) release anyone who may be liable in any manner for the payment of any amounts owed by the Guarantors or the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or any Lender;
(f) modify or terminate the terms of any intercreditor or subordination agreement, to the extent permitted by the terms of such intercreditor or subordination agreement, pursuant to which claims of other creditors of any Guarantor or any Borrower are subordinated to the claims of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; and/or
(g) subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, apply any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any amounts owing by any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such manner as the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall determine in its discretion;
and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not incur any liability to the Guarantors as a result thereof, and no such action shall impair or release the Guaranteed Obligations of the Guarantors or any of them under this Guaranty.
2.7Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Borrower or any Guarantor for liquidation or reorganization, should such Borrower or Guarantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of such Borrower’s or such Guarantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether as a “voidable preference”, “fraudulent conveyance”, or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
5
2.8Subordination of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, or in any other Loan Document, each Guarantor hereby: expressly and irrevocably subordinates to the payment and performance in full of the Obligations, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns (including any surety) until the Termination Date, any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses or other rights available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor against the principal; and acknowledges and agrees (i) that this subordination is intended to benefit the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise effect any Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty, and (ii) that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in thisSection 2.8.
2.9Election of Remedies. If the Administrative Agent may, under applicable law, proceed to realize benefits under any of the Loan Documents giving the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a Lien upon any Collateral owned by any Borrower, either by judicial foreclosure or by non-judicial sale or enforcement, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole option, determine which of such remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of such rights and remedies under this Guaranty. If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, the Administrative Agent shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, the Guarantors hereby consent to such action by the Administrative Agent and waive any claim based upon such action, even if such action by the Administrative Agent shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation which the Guarantors might otherwise have had but for such action by the Administrative Agent. Any election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of the Administrative Agent to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair each Guarantor’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations. In the event the Administrative Agent shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by law or the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may bid all or less than the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by the Administrative Agent but shall be credited against the Guaranteed Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale shall be conclusively deemed to be the fair market value of the collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed under this Guaranty, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.
6
3. | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. |
To induce the Lenders to continue make the Loans and incur L/C Obligations under the Credit Agreement, the Guarantors jointly and severally make the representations and warranties as to each Guarantor contained in the Credit Agreement, each of which is incorporated herein by reference and all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guaranty.
4. | FURTHER ASSURANCES. |
Each Guarantor agrees, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent or such Lender, from time to time, any additional instruments or documents reasonably considered necessary by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to cause this Guaranty to be, become or remain valid and effective in accordance with its terms.
5. | PAYMENTS FREE AND CLEAR OF TAXES. |
(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by the Guarantors to or on account of any obligation of the Guarantors hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require any Guarantor or Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Guarantors or Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.
(ii) If the Guarantors or Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Guarantors shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Guarantors. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Guarantors shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.
(c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, the Guarantors shall, and do hereby, jointly and severally indemnify Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by the Guarantors or Agent or paid by Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The Guarantors shall also, and do hereby, jointly and severally indemnify Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after written demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Guarantors by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and the L/C Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Guarantors and Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after written demand therefor, against any and all (A) Excluded Taxes with respect to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, (B) Taxes incurred by or asserted against the Guarantors or Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the Guarantors or Agent pursuant to subsection (e), and (C) with respect to Excluded Taxes or Taxes described in subclauses (A) or (B) of this sentence, any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Guarantors or Agent). Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document against any amount due to Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Guarantors or Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Guarantors or by Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in thisSection 5, the Guarantors shall deliver to Agent or Agent shall deliver to Guarantors, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Guarantors or Agent, as the case may be.
(e) Status of Lenders. (i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Guarantors and to Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Guarantors or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Guarantors or Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the Guarantors pursuant to this Guaranty or any Loan Document or to otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.
8
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Guarantor is resident for tax purposes in the United States,
(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to such Guarantor and Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by such Guarantor or Agent as will enable such Guarantor or Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and
(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to such Guarantor and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under the Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of such Guarantor or Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:
(I) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party,
(II) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(III) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all required supporting documentation,
(IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a “10 percent shareholder” of a Guarantor within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or
9
(V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the such Guarantor or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
(iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Guarantors and Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Guarantors or Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be. If Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Guarantor or with respect to which a Guarantor has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to such Guarantor an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Guarantor under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund),provided that the Guarantors, upon the request of Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agree, jointly and severally, to repay the amount paid over to the Guarantors (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Guarantor, any Loan Party or any other Person.

Exhibit B
JOINDER TO SECURITY AGREEMENT
The undersigned, IFC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“IFC”), as of this 1st day of April, 2011 hereby joins in the execution of that certain Security Agreement dated as of June 15, 2010 (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”) previously executed and delivered by InfuSystem Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, InfuSystem, Inc., a California corporation, First Biomedical, Inc., a Kansas corporation and each other Person that becomes a Pledgor thereunder after the date and pursuant to the terms thereof, in favor of Bank of America, N.A., as the Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for all Secured Parties. By executing this joinder (this “Joinder”), the undersigned hereby agrees that it is a “Grantor” under the Security Agreement and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Security Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, IFC agrees as follows:
1.Joinder to Security Agreement. IFC is hereby joined in, and hereby agrees that it is, and for all purposes after the date hereof shall be a “Grantor” party to the Security Agreement as if IFC were an original signatory thereto in the same manner and capacity as a “Grantor” thereunder. The term “Grantor” as used in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include IFC. IFC acknowledges the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral and agrees that the Administrative Agent’s Liens on such Collateral granted under the Security Agreement are not released or impaired in any way as a result of the execution of this Joinder to Security Agreement (this “Joinder”).
Additionally, IFC acknowledges that, by its execution of this Joinder, it has assigned and transferred to the Administrative Agent, and has granted to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in all of its Collateral, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of each and all of the Secured Obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, IFC agrees and acknowledge that the following property of IFC shall be deemed to be “Collateral” under the Security Agreement as of the date of this Joinder: (a) all of the personal property now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by IFC or in which IFC now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest, including all of IFC’s Accounts, Chattel Paper, Commercial Tort Claims, Deposit Accounts, Documents, Equipment, Fixtures, General Intangibles, Goods, Instruments, Intellectual Property, Inventory, Investment Property, Leases, Letter-of-Credit Rights, Money, Supporting Obligations and Identified Claims, (b) all books and records pertaining to any of the foregoing, (c) all Proceeds and products of any of the foregoing, and (d) all collateral security and guaranties given by any Person with respect to any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the “Collateral” pledged by IFC shall not include (a) any asset to the extent that a grant of a security interest therein is validly prohibited by or not possible under any applicable Laws or is validly prohibited by, or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or gives rise to any right of acceleration, modification or cancellation under any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to IFC’s right to use such asset, or would result in the forfeiture of IFC’s rights in the asset, but only, in each case, to the extent, and for so long as, such prohibition is not removed, terminated or rendered unenforceable or otherwise deemed ineffective by the UCC (including Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 thereof) or any other applicable Law, or (b) Equity Interests representing more than 65% of the voting stock of any direct or indirect Subsidiary of IFC that is a first-tier CFC; provided, however, that any proceeds, substitutions or replacements of any property included in subclauses (a) and (b) above shall not be excluded (unless such proceeds, substitutions or replacements would itself constitute property excluded under subclause (a) or (b)).
2.Representations and Warranties. IFC hereby represents and warrants to the Bank that, except as disclosed onSchedule 2 hereto, each of the representations and/or warranties contained in the Security Agreement applicable to IFC are true and correct as it pertains to IFC, except to the extent that such representations and warranties (a) solely relate to an earlier date or (b) have been changed by circumstances permitted by the Credit Agreement, as amended, or by this Joinder. Attached hereto as Attachment I are Schedules 1 through 7 to the Security Agreement, updated to reflect IFC as a “Grantor” under the Security Agreement. IFC and each of the existing Grantors agrees that this Joinder and the schedules and attachments hereto may be attached to the Security Agreement and shall be and become a part of the Security Agreement.
3.No Additional Amendments. Except as amended pursuant to this Joinder, the Security Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect in accordance with each of their respective terms.
4.Governing Law. This Joinder and the rights and obligations set forth herein shall be governed by and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflicts of law principles.
