To assist each Commitment Party in its syndication efforts, you agree to promptly prepare and provide to each Commitment Party such customary and reasonably available information with respect to you and the Transactions as such Commitment Party may reasonably request, including, without limitation, (a) financial information and projections as such Commitment Party may reasonably request, including a business plan for fiscal years 2015 through 2016 (on a quarterly basis;provided, that availability and liquidity projections shall be provided on a monthly basis) and fiscal years 2017 through 2019 (on an annual basis), and a written analysis of the business and prospects of you and your respective subsidiaries for such period (the “Projections”), (b) a customary confidential information memorandum that includes information customarily included in confidential memoranda for a credit facility similar to the Facility with respect to you and the Transactions as such Commitment Party may reasonably request, including the Projections (the “Marketing Materials”), and (c) a version of the Marketing Materials (the “Public Information Materials”) that does not contain Projections or other material non-public information concerning you and your respective affiliates or securities for purposes of the United States federal and state securities laws (“Material Non-Public Information”). You understand that in arranging and syndicating the Facility, each Commitment Party may use and rely on the Marketing Materials without independent verification thereof and that you will promptly notify each Commitment Party of any changes in circumstances that could be expected to call into question the continued reasonableness of any assumption underlying the Projections.
Before distribution of any Marketing Materials (a) to prospective lenders that do not wish to receive Material Non-Public Information concerning you, and your respective affiliates or securities (such lenders, “Public Lenders;” all other lenders, “Private Lenders”), BMHC (with respect to information relating to BMHC and its subsidiaries) and Stock (with respect to information relating to Stock and its subsidiaries) agrees to provide each Commitment Party with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of the Public Information Materials and confirming the absence of Material Non-Public Information therein, and (b) to prospective Private Lenders, you agree to provide each Commitment Party with a customary letter authorizing the dissemination of those materials. In addition, at any Commitment Party’s request, you will identify Public Information Materials by clearly and conspicuously marking the
same as “PUBLIC.” You agree that each Commitment Party may distribute the following documents in the form provided to you or your counsel a reasonable time prior to their distribution to all prospective lenders, unless you or your counsel advise such Commitment Party in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions that such material should only be distributed to prospective Private Lenders: (i) administrative materials for prospective lenders such as lender meeting invitations and funding and closing memoranda, (ii) drafts and final versions of the definitive documentation for the Facility, (iii) the Term Sheet and any “marketing term sheet”, and (iv) notification of changes in the terms of the Facility. If you advise any Commitment Party that any of the foregoing items should be distributed only to Private Lenders, then such Commitment Party agrees not to distribute such materials to Public Lenders without your prior written consent (including by email).
To ensure an orderly and effective syndication of the Facility you agree that (a) from the date hereof until the earlier of the completion of a Successful Syndication and 90 days following the Closing Date, you will not, and will not permit any of your subsidiaries to, syndicate or issue, attempt to syndicate or issue, or announce or authorize the announcement of the syndication or issuance of, any debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities (other than (x) the syndication of the Facility as contemplated hereby, (y) any increase in commitments under the BMHC Facility (as defined in the Term Sheet) that are contemplated to go effective concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Commitment Letter, and (z) any indebtedness permitted to be incurred in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement in effect on the date hereof), including any renewals or refinancings of any existing debt facility, without the prior written consent of each Commitment Party, and (b) it is a condition to each Commitment Party’s several commitments hereunder that each Commitment Party shall have a period (commencing on the date after delivery of information required to be provided by you for the final Marketing Materials (excluding information customarily provided by an arranger in the preparation of a confidential information memorandum) (the “Required Information”)) of not less than 25 consecutive days prior to the Closing Date to seek to syndicate their respective portions of the Facility (the “Marketing Period”). If you in good faith reasonably believe that you have delivered the Required Information, you may deliver to each Commitment Party a written notice to that effect (stating when it believes it completed any such delivery), in which case you shall be deemed to have delivered the Required Information as of the date of delivery of such notice unless any Commitment Party in good faith reasonably believes that you have not completed delivery of the Required Information and, within three business days after the delivery of such notice by you, such Commitment Party delivers a written notice to you to that effect (stating with specificity which portion of the Required Information you have not delivered).

Without the prior written consent of Goldman, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise any claim of any Goldman Indemnified Person, permit a default or consent to the entry of any judgment in respect thereof.
In order to provide for just and equitable contribution, if a claim for indemnification pursuant to these Indemnification Provisions is made but is found by a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, even though the express provisions hereof provide for indemnification in such case, then the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, shall contribute to the losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements to which the Indemnified Persons may be subject in accordance with the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, and also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the Indemnified Persons collectively and in the aggregate, on the other hand, in connection with the statements, acts or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses and disbursements and the relevant equitable considerations shall also be considered.

(B) “Present Fair Salable Value” means the amount that could be obtained by an independent willing seller from an independent willing buyer if the assets (both tangible and intangible) of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries taken as a whole are sold on a going concern basis with reasonable promptness in an arm’s-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises insofar as such conditions can be reasonably evaluated.
(C) “Stated Liabilities” means the recorded liabilities (including contingent liabilities that would be recorded in accordance with GAAP) of the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries taken as a whole, as of the date hereof after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

(E) “Will be able to pay their Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as they mature” means for the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries taken as a whole will have sufficient assets and cash flow to pay their respective Stated Liabilities and Identified Contingent Liabilities as those liabilities mature or (in the case of Identified Contingent Liabilities) otherwise become payable, in light of business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Loan Parties as reflected in the projected financial statements and in light of the anticipated credit capacity.
(F) “Do not have Unreasonably Small Capital” means for the period from the date hereof through the Maturity Date, the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries taken as a whole after consummation of the Transactions is a going concern and has sufficient capital to reasonably ensure that it will continue to be a going concern for such period. I understand that “unreasonably small capital” depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and I have reached my conclusion based on the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the business conducted or anticipated to be conducted by the Loan Parties as reflected in the projected financial statements and in light of the anticipated credit capacity.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have executed this Solvency Certificate as of the date first written above.
