LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of December 31, 2020 among States Title Holding, Inc. (formerly known as Doma Holdings, Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), each Person named as a Guarantor on the signature pages hereto, the lenders from time to time party hereto (each, a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”) and Hudson Structured Capital Management Ltd., a Bermuda limited company, as agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, “Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Borrower has asked the Lenders to extend credit to the Borrower consisting of a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000. The proceeds of the term loan shall be used as described in Section 5.10 hereunder. The Lenders are severally, and not jointly, willing to extend such credit to the Borrower subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

1. ACCOUNTING AND OTHER TERMS

(a) Accounting terms not defined in this Agreement shall be construed following GAAP. Calculations and determinations must be made following GAAP. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in Section 13. All other capitalized terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.

(b) For purposes of the Loan Documents, whenever a representation or warranty is made to a Loan Party’s knowledge or awareness or the “best of” a Loan Party’s knowledge or awareness, it will be deemed to mean the actual knowledge, after reasonable inquiry, of such Loan Party.

(c) If any changes in accounting principles or practices from GAAP required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or any successor thereto or agencies with similar functions) results in a change in calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms (including all applicable covenants, representations and warranties) in any Loan Document, the parties hereto agree that as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of such change they will enter into good faith negotiations to amend such provisions so as equitably to reflect such changes to the end that the criteria for evaluating financial and other covenants, financial condition and performance will be the same after such changes as they were before such changes. For the avoidance of doubt, until the Agreement is amended or otherwise agreed, the Loan Parties shall continue to provide calculations for all financial covenants, perform all financial covenants and otherwise observe all financial standards and terms (including all applicable covenants, representations and warranties) in the Loan Documents in accordance with GAAP as in effect immediately prior to such changes. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, to the extent that any change in GAAP after December 1, 2017 results in leases which are, or would have been, classified as operating leases under GAAP as of such date being classified as a Capital Lease under as revised GAAP, such change in classification of leases from operating leases to Capital Leases shall be ignored for purposes of this Agreement.

2. LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1 Promise to Pay. The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay Agent and the Lenders, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan and all other Obligations including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

2.2 Term Loan.

(a) Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders agree to make a term loan to the Borrower during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Term Loan Commitment Amount (the “Term Loan”). Only one Term Loan may be requested in the borrowing notice and the amount of the Term Loan may not exceed the Term Loan Commitment Amount. The obligation of the Lenders to make the Term Loan under this Agreement shall be several and not joint and several. After repayment or prepayment, the Term Loan may not be reborrowed.

(b) Termination of Term Loan Commitment. The Term Loan Commitment shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the last Business Day of the Availability Period.

(i) Payment of Principal and Interest at Maturity. All unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, prepayment premiums (including any Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any), expenses and other Obligations in respect of the Term Loan shall be due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Prepayment Premium. Upon the occurrence of a Prepayment Premium Trigger Event, the Borrower shall pay the amount of the Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, in cash to Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders.

(iii) Repayment of Principal of Term Loan. The outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan shall be repayable in installments on the last day of each calendar month, with each installment equal to the Amortization Amount commencing solely on the Amortization Start Date and (subject to clause (b), below) continuing thereafter (but solely during the continuance of an Event of Default) until the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding the Term Loan Maturity Date, with one final payment due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date in an amount necessary to repay in full the unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) the Borrower shall have the right to repay the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees, prepayment premiums (including any Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any), expenses and other Obligations in respect of the Term Loan in accordance with Section 2.2(d) hereof, and (b) if an Amortization Amount (a “Default Amortization”) is payable because an Event of Default is continuing on the last day of any calendar month (an “Amortization Month”) and such Event of Default is remedied or waived, then only such Default Amortization for such Amortization Month will be due and payable commencing on the applicable Amortization Start Date (as described in paragraph (b) of the definition of Amortization Start Date) (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Required Lenders may elect to waive the requirement of such Default Amortization (without any requirement to obtain the consent of any other Lender or the Agent)).

(iv) Promissory Note. Any Lender may request that the Term Loan made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender and its registered assigns in a form furnished by the Agent. Thereafter, the Term Loan evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 12.2) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the payee named therein.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including this Section 2.2(c)) to the contrary, until all of the obligations in respect of the TRG Credit Facility are paid in full in cash and all of the commitments in respect thereof are terminated, no payment in respect of the principal amount of the Term Loan that would otherwise be required to be made under this Section 2.2(c) shall be required to be made hereunder.

(d) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) Upon Acceleration. If the Term Loans are accelerated following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Lenders an amount equal to the sum of (A) all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loan through the date the prepayment is made, plus (B) all outstanding principal with respect to the Term Loan, plus (C) the amount of any Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, plus (D) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable hereunder in connection with the Term Loan.

(ii) Dispositions. Within five Business Days following the receipt by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Regulated Insurance ~~Subsidiary~~Company) of any Net Cash Proceeds in connection with any Dispositions (other than as permitted by Section 7.1(a) through (j) and (l) through (q)) in excess of $750,000 in any Fiscal Year, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan in accordance with the terms hereof in an amount equal to 100% of such excess Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in consideration of such Dispositions, except as otherwise agreed by the Agent.

(iii) Incurrence of Debt. Within three Business Days of any issuance or incurrence by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Regulated Insurance ~~Subsidiary~~Company) of any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan in accordance with the terms hereof in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith.

(iv) Extraordinary Receipts. Within five Business Days of receipt by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any Regulated Insurance ~~Subsidiary~~Company) of any Extraordinary Receipts, the Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan in accordance with the terms hereof in an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by such Person in connection therewith; provided that, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall have the option in lieu of making such prepayment to invest or reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within 365 days of receipt thereof in assets of the general type used in the business of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

(v) Excess Cash Flow. On the first Business Day of the first full calendar month to occur after the occurrence of a Project Beacon Failure Event and the first Business Day of each calendar month thereafter, the Borrower shall (subject to Section 2.2(d)(viii) below) prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan in accordance with the terms hereof in an amount equal to 100% of the unrestricted cash and cash Equivalents of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries (other than amounts held by any Regulated Insurance Company) (or that is subject to a Control Agreement in favor of the Agent or otherwise restricted in favor of the Agent) in excess of $7,500,000 at such time; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any prepayment be required pursuant to this Section 2.2(d)(v) for any calendar month beginning prior to October 1, 2025 if on or prior to the first Business Day of such calendar month, Agent shall have received from Borrower an analysis (prepared by the Borrower in consultation with an Approved Auditor) demonstrating that such prepayment would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of Section 6.2(c) or otherwise result in a “going concern” qualification or explanatory paragraph in respect of any financial statements delivered or to be delivered hereunder and/or required to be filed with the SEC (including financial statements or public filings of any Parent Company).

(vi) Project Rami Contingent Payments.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries have any obligation to prepay the Term Loan (or make any other payment) pursuant to this clause (vi) in an aggregate amount in excess of $16,000,000 and in no event shall the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person have any obligation to make any payment pursuant to this clause (vi) other than in respect of cash amounts actually received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in satisfaction of the Project Rami Contingent Payments. In connection with the obligations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 2.2(d)(vi), the Borrower and its Subsidiaries agree (x) to use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce on a timely basis its rights to payment of the Project Rami Contingent Payments, (y) not to waive in writing any rights to receive the Project Rami Contingent Payments and (z) not to modify the WFG Acquisition Agreement, the Near North/Illinois Acquisition Agreement or the Near North/Florida Acquisition Agreement to defer the timing for payment of, expressly reduce the amount of, or otherwise adversely affect its right to timely receive the full amount due and payable in respect of the Project Rami Contingent Payments. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) in no event shall the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person be required to make any payment pursuant to this Section 2.2(d)(vi) except to the extent of cash payments actually received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in satisfaction of the Project Rami Contingent Payments and (b) the Borrower and its Subsidiaries may use the proceeds of any Project Rami Contingent Payments prior to the date that the relevant amount of such proceeds are required to be applied to prepay the Term Loan for any purpose not prohibited under this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that the provisions of this Section 2.2(d)(vi) shall survive termination of this Agreement until the Borrower’s obligations pursuant to this Section 2.2(d)(vi) are satisfied in full. In the event that the Loan Document Termination (as defined in the Fifth Amendment) occurs prior to satisfaction of the Borrower’s obligations pursuant to this Section 2.2(d)(vi), then Agent agrees to act as paying agent for the Lenders and all such ratable payments to the Lenders shall be made in accordance with their Term Loan holdings immediately prior to the Loan Document Termination.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Applicable Prepayment Premium shall be due or payable in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.2(d)(vii); provided that solely for the avoidance of doubt, if Agent waives a prepayment otherwise required pursuant to this Section 2.2(d)(vii), the Applicable Prepayment Premium shall be due and payable in connection with any prepayment nonetheless made pursuant to this Section 2.2(d)(vii) by the Borrower in connection with such applicable Change of Control.

(viii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including this Section 2.2(d)) to the contrary, until all of the obligations in respect of the TRG Credit Facility are paid in full in cash and all of the commitments in respect thereof are terminated, no mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan that would otherwise be required to be made under this Section 2.2(d) shall be required to be made hereunder.

(A) ~~(viii)~~ ~~Application of Prepayments; Interest and Fees.~~ ~~Each~~Subject to clause (B) below, each mandatory prepayment of the Term Loan pursuant to this Section 2.2(d), shall be applied against the remaining installments due on the principal of the Term Loan pro rata.

(1) first, to reimburse Agent for its accrued and unpaid fees and expenses to the extent required by Section 12.10 hereof and to make payments owing to Indemnified Persons pursuant to Section 12.3 hereof;

(2) second, to pay any amounts received by the Borrower in respect of the Project Rami Earn-Out but not yet paid pursuant to Section 2.2(d)(vi) (it being understood that any such application under this clause shall be deemed to reduce the Borrower’s obligation pursuant to Section 2.2(d)(vi) on a dollar-for-dollar basis);

Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (d), if on any date on which any amount of the Term Loan is repaid or prepaid as a result of administrative or clerical error in an amount exceeding the amount of the Term Loan due on or about such date, such excess payment shall not constitute a prepayment for the purposes of this clause (d) if within three (3) Business Days of the date of such payment Borrower (1) informs Agent in writing of the amount of such excess payment, and (2) certifies that such excess payment was made as a result of administrative or clerical error. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including this Section 2.2(e)) to the contrary, until all of the obligations in respect of the TRG Credit Facility are paid in full in cash and all of the commitments in respect thereof are terminated, no voluntary prepayment of the Term Loan that would otherwise be permitted to be made under this Section 2.2(e) shall be made hereunder.

(f) Cumulative Prepayments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.2, payments with respect to this Section 2.2 are in addition to payments made or required to be made under any other Section of this Agreement.

Any ~~interest which capitalizes under this clause (a) (~~“~~Capitalized Interest~~”Capitalized Interest pursuant to this Section 2.3(a)(i) shall be added to the principal amount of the Term Loan on such last Business Day of such applicable fiscal quarter, shall be deemed for all purposes to be principal of the Term Loan (including, without limitation, with respect to the accrual of interest on any Capitalized Interest amounts), and interest shall begin to accrue on Capitalized Interest beginning on and including the date on which such Capitalized Interest is added to the principal amount of the Term Loan (including prior Capitalized Interest).

(ii) Subject to Section 2.3(b), from and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date until (but excluding) October 1, 2025, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan shall accrue interest at a per annum rate equal to sixteen and one-fourth percent (16.25%). Such interest shall accrue and capitalize as of the last day of each of calendar month, and such accrued Capitalized Interest shall be payable in cash in arrears on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and shall be calculated in accordance with Section 2.3(c).

Interest at the Default Rate shall accrue from the date of such Event of Default until such Event of Default is no longer continuing and shall be payable upon demand. Payment or acceptance of the Default Rate is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Agent or the Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, interest at the Default Rate shall be in lieu of other interest provided for hereunder (and not in addition thereto).

(c) Usury. It is the intention of the parties hereto that Agent and each Lender shall conform strictly to usury laws applicable to it. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document would be usurious as to Agent or any Lender under laws applicable to it (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of New York or any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable to Agent or such Lender notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement entered into in connection with or as security for the Obligations, it is agreed as follows: the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to Agent or any Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received by Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or agreements or otherwise in connection with the Obligations shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, any excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid shall be credited by Agent or such Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, to the extent that the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by Agent or such Lender, as applicable, to the Borrower). If at any time and from time to time (x) the amount of interest payable to Agent or any Lender on any date shall be computed at the highest lawful rate applicable to such Agent or such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) and (y) in respect of any subsequent interest computation period the amount of interest otherwise payable to Agent or such Lender would be less than the amount of interest payable to Agent or such Lender computed at the highest lawful rate applicable to Agent or such Lender, then the amount of interest payable to Agent or such Lender in respect of such subsequent interest computation period shall continue to be computed at the highest lawful rate applicable to Agent or such Lender until the total amount of interest payable to Agent or such Lender shall equal the total amount of interest which would have been payable to Agent or such Lender if the total amount of interest had been computed without giving effect to this Section 2.3(c).

(d) Interest Computation. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty five (365) day year for the actual number of days elapsed. With respect to all payments hereunder, including with respect to computing interest, all payments received after 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on any day shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. In computing interest, the Funding Date shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded.

For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all accrued and unpaid interest (including any interest owing in respect of Section 2.3(b)) from and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date until (but excluding) October 1, 2025 shall be Capitalized Interest (and no such amount shall be due or payable in cash) (including, for the avoidance of doubt, interest that otherwise would have become payable in cash for periods prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date).

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (including this Section 2.3) to the contrary, until all of the obligations in respect of the TRG Credit Facility are paid in full in cash and all of the commitments in respect thereof are terminated, no interest that would otherwise be required to be paid in cash pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be required to be paid hereunder.

2.4 Fees.

(a) Applicable Prepayment Premium. Without duplication of any payment of the Applicable Prepayment Premium referred to in Section 2.2, following the occurrence of an applicable Prepayment Premium Trigger Event, the Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the accounts of the Lenders, the Applicable Prepayment Premium (if any) then due and payable.

(b) Fees Fully Earned.

For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that the provisions of this Section 2.4 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

2.5 Payments; Application of Payments.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 3.00 pm New York City time on the date when due to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, to an account as shall be designated in a written notice delivered by Agent to the Borrower. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 3.00 pm New York City time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.

(b) Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement (including without limitation, Section 9.1(f)), after an Event of Default in respect of which Agent has taken any action under Section 9.1, (a) Agent has the exclusive right to determine the order and manner in which all payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied, and (b) Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Agent shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by the Borrower to Agent or otherwise received by any Secured Party under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

2.6 Withholding. (a) Payments received by Agent from the Borrower under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes except as otherwise required by Requirements of Law. If at any time any Requirements of Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of the Borrower) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Borrower, then the Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with any Requirements of Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that the sum payable by the Borrower will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction for Indemnified Taxes, Agent receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no withholding or deduction for Indemnified Taxes been required. The Borrower will, upon request, furnish Agent with proof reasonably satisfactory to Agent evidencing such payment; provided, however, that the Borrower need not make any withholding payment if the amount or validity of such withholding payment is contested in good faith by appropriate and timely proceedings and as to which payment in full is bonded or reserved against by the Borrower.

(b) (i) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Requirements of Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not the Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.6(b)(ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject the Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (if such Lender is a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC)) certifying that the Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax or applicable Form W-8 (together with all required certificates and other documentation) (if such Lender is not a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC)), in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower, documenting all applicable exemptions from or reductions in U.S. federal withholding Tax.

(iii) Each Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Borrower) on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Requirements of Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Requirements of Law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iv) If a payment made to or for the account of any Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by Requirements of Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Lender has complied with the Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(v) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(c) The Agent shall deliver to the Borrower from time to time upon the reasonable request of the Borrower executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (if the Agent is a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC)) certifying that the Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax or applicable Form W-8 (together with all required certificates and other documentation) (if the Agent is not a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the IRC)), in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower, documenting all applicable exemptions from or reductions in U.S. federal withholding Tax.

(d) The agreements and obligations of the Borrower and Lenders contained in this Section 2.6 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(e) If any party shall become aware that it is entitled to receive a refund from a relevant Governmental Authority in respect of Taxes as to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the availability of such refund and shall, within 30 days after receipt of a request by Borrower, make a claim to such Governmental Authority for such refund at the Borrower’s expense. If any party receives a refund of any Taxes with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such party receiving the refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). The Borrower, upon the request of the party receiving the refund, shall repay to such party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (d) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Government Authority) in the event that the party receiving the refund is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.

2.7 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lender. If any Lender requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.6, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Term Loan hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.6, as the case may be, in the future, and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment to the extent such costs and expenses are set forth in reasonable detail in a certificate submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent).

Upon consummation of any such sale of Collateral pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 4.7, Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold. Each such purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of any Loan Party, and each Loan Party hereby waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal that any Loan Party now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, any exercise of rights or remedies by the Agent shall be subject to applicable law, including (if applicable) the express, written approval of any Applicable Insurance Regulatory Authority.

4.8 Sale Process. Agent shall give the Loan Parties ten (10) Business Days’ written notice (which the Loan Parties agree is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the Code or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 4.7. Such notice, in the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Collateral, or the portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given. Agent may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private auction pursuant to Section 4.7 or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In the case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to Section 4.7 made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but Agent shall not incur any liability in the event that any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in the case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon notice given in accordance with provisions above. At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to Section 4.7, Agent may bid for or purchase for cash, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Loan Party (all such rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and Agent may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Loan Party therefor. For purposes of this Section 4.8, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Loan Party shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and all Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Indemnification Claims) are paid in full. Any sale pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.7 or 4.8 shall be deemed to conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the Code or its equivalent in other jurisdictions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Lenders hereby acknowledge that any actions taken under this Section 4.8 shall be subject in all respects to the express approval of any Applicable Insurance Regulatory Authority required pursuant to any applicable Requirements of Law.

Agent’s foregoing appointment as each Loan Party’s attorney in fact, and all of Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Indemnification Claims) have been fully repaid and performed.

9.3 Protective Payments. If any Loan Party fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.4 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which any Loan Party is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, the Secured Parties may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by the Secured Parties are Obligations and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide the Loan Parties with notice of the Secured Parties obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by a Secured Party are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or a Secured Party’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. At any time after Agent takes action under Section 9.1, Agent shall have the right to apply in any order any funds in its possession, whether from Loan Party account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations. Agent shall pay any surplus to the Loan Parties or to other Persons legally entitled thereto; the Loan Parties shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for any deficiency. If Agent, directly or indirectly, enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Agent shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Agent of cash therefor.

Each Loan Party bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Agent’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by any Loan Party of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of any Secured Party thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. The Secured Parties’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. The Secured Parties have all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. A Secured Party’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude any Secured Party from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and a Secured Party’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Any Secured Party’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

9.7 Demand Waiver. Each Loan Party waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Agent on which any Loan Party is liable.

11. CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, JURY TRIAL WAIVER AND JUDICIAL REFERENCE

Except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, New York law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each Loan Party, Agent and each Lender submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in New York County, New York; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude any Secured Party from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of such Secured Party. Each Loan Party expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Loan Party hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each Loan Party hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to the Loan Parties at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by the Loan Parties in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of a Loan Party’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH LOAN PARTY, AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BOTH PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12. GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1 Termination Prior to Term Loan Maturity Date; Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Indemnification Claims) have been discharged or otherwise satisfied in full. So long as the Obligations have been discharged or otherwise satisfied in full (other than Unasserted Contingent Indemnification Claims and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement), this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date by any Loan Party pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.2(e). Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination.

12.2 Successors and Assigns.

(a) This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted and registered assigns of each party. No Loan Party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Agent’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Agent’s discretion) and any such assignment without Agent’s prior written consent shall be null and void.

(b) With the prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the Agent, each Lender and its respective successors, contributees and assigns as permitted hereunder has the right to sell, transfer, assign, contribute or negotiate all or any part of, or any interest in, the Secured Parties’ obligations, rights and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any Person; provided that no such consent shall be required for any sale, transfer, assignment, contribution or negotiation to any Eligible Assignee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any Lender may at any time pledge, contribute or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any other Loan Document to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge, contribution or assignment to secure obligations to any Person; (ii) so long as such pledge, contribution or assignment is to a Person (other than an Eligible Assignee), prior written consent is required of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned); (iii) no such pledge, contribution or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee, contributee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(c) The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for its acceptance, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any promissory note subject to such assignment. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, the 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 any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) the assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other documents and information it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the assigning Lender, Agent or any 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 and the other Loan Documents; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental hereto and thereto; (vi) such assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Borrower any Tax forms required by Section 2.6 and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d) With the prior written consent of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (such consent of the Borrower not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), each Lender and its respective successors and assigns as permitted hereunder has the right to grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, the Secured Parties’ obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any Eligible Assignee; provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the Loan Parties for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Loan Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. A Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. No participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.6 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

(e) [Reserved]

(f) The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and its assignees and transferees, and the Term Loan Commitment of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Term Loan owing to, the Lender and each assignee pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, the Agent, the Lender and each transferee and transferee shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Lenders and any assignee and transferee, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

12.3 Indemnification. Each Loan Party agrees to, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold each Secured Party and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing such Secured Party (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against all obligations, demands, claims, losses, damages, penalties, fees, liabilities, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) (collectively, “Claims”) incurred by such Indemnified Persons, whether prior to or from and after the Effective Date, whether direct, indirect or consequential, as a result of or arising from or relating to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; except for Claims and/or losses (a) directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (b) arises solely from a breach by such Indemnified Person of its obligations under the Loan Documents or (c) arises solely from a dispute solely among Indemnified Persons not arising out of or resulting from any act or omission on the part of any Loan Party. This Section 12.3 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.3 to the contrary, except as set forth in Section 2.2(d)(viii)(B) in connection with any mandatory prepayment with respect to an Underwriter Dividend, any reimbursable amounts owing pursuant to this Section 12.3 shall only be payable upon the earliest of (a) the consummation of the Merger (as defined in the Project Beacon Acquisition Agreement), (b) October 1, 2025, (c) any prepayment of the Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.2(e) of this Agreement and (d) the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.4(b) and/or Section 8.4(c) of this Agreement.

This Section 12.3 shall survive until all statutes of limitation with respect to the Claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is given shall have run.

12.4 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.

12.5 Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.

12.6 Correction of Loan Documents. Agent may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties so long as Agent provides the Loan Parties with written notice of such correction and allows the Loan Parties at least ten (10) days to object to such correction. In the event of such objection, such correction shall not be made except by an amendment signed by Agent and the Loan Parties.

12.7 Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, shall be enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing and signed (a) in the case of any waiver or consent other than as contemplated by Section 12.6, by the Required Lenders (or by Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) or (b) in the case of any amendment other than as contemplated by Section 12.6, by the Required Lenders (or by Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and the Loan Parties, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall: (i) increase the Term Loan Commitment or the Term Loan Commitment Amount or increase the Pro Rata Share of any Lender’s Term Loan Commitment or Term Loan Commitment Amount, reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Term Loan or any other Obligations payable to any Lender, reduce the amount of any fee payable for the account of any Lender, or postpone or extend any scheduled date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest or fees on, the Term Loan payable to any Lender, in each case, without the written consent of such Lenders adversely affected thereby (it being understood that (A) no amendment, modification or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any condition precedent, representation, warranty, covenant, Default, Event of Default, mandatory prepayment or the implementation of the Default Rate, shall be within the scope of this clause (i), and such actions shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders (or in the case of a waiver of mandatory prepayment in connection with a Change of Control, solely the Agent without requirement for consent by any Lender or other Secured Party) and (B) any waiver of any amortization payment referred to in Section 2.2(b)(iii) shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders)); (ii) change the percentage of the Term Loan Commitment, Term Loan Commitment Amount or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan that is required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; (iii) amend the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), subordinate any Lien granted in favor of Agent for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders (except pursuant to a transaction otherwise permitted hereunder), or release any Borrower or substantially all of the guarantees provided by the Guarantors, in each case, unless otherwise provided by this Agreement, without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; (v) amend, modify or waive Section 9.4 or this Section 12.7 of this Agreement without the written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby or (vi) amend, modify, or waive any provision of this Agreement in a manner that is directly and disproportionately adverse to any Lender or directly and favorably affecting any Lender (in each case, as compared to all of the Lenders), without the consent of each Lender affected by such amendment, modification, or waiver. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower and the Agent, without requiring the consent of any other Person, shall be permitted to amend or waive the provisions hereof to address any issues of a technical nature or to cure any ambiguity or clear error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or modification of any Loan Document shall, unless signed by Agent, affect the rights or duties of Agent (but not in its capacity as a Lender) under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents.

Confidential information does not include information that is either: (i) in the public domain or in Agent’s possession when disclosed to Agent, or becomes part of the public domain (other than as a result of its disclosure by Agent in violation of this Agreement) after disclosure to Agent or any Lender Entity; or (ii) disclosed to Agent or any Lender Entity by a third party, if Agent or such Lender Entity does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information.

As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Term Loan), Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Lenders; provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in the reasonable opinion of Agent, exposes Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law.

The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender.

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Loan Party; or

(f) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Secured Parties that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety (other than the cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations) and all other amounts payable under this Section 15).

This Section 15 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Secured Parties or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

15.3 Waiver. Each Guarantor hereby waives (i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Section 15.3 and any requirement that the Secured Parties exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral, (iii) any right to compel or direct any Secured Party to seek payment or recovery of any amounts owed under this Section 15.3 from any one particular fund or source or to exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party, any other Person or any Collateral, (iv) any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against any Loan Party, any other Person or any Collateral, and (v) any other defense available to any Guarantor (other than the cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations) and all other amounts payable under this Section 15).

This Section 15.4 is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations) and all other amounts payable under this Section 15 after the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns (unless any such Guarantor has been released from its obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 14.7) and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their successors and permitted pledgees, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Term Loan Commitment owing to it) to any Eligible Assignee, and such Eligible Assignee shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in Section 12.2.

15.5 Subrogation. No Guarantor will exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Loan Party or any other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 15, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Secured Parties against any Loan Party or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Loan Party or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations) and all other amounts payable under this Section 15 shall have been paid in full in cash after the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Obligations) and all other amounts payable under this Section 15, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Secured Parties to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Section 15 after the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Section 15 thereafter arising. If (a) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Secured Parties of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (b) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Section 15 shall be paid in full in cash after the termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Secured Parties will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by such Guarantor.

15.6 Waivers. All waivers made by each party hereunder that is a Guarantor are made solely by such party in its respective capacity hereunder as a Guarantor and not in any other capacity under any Loan Documents.
