PROPOSAL NO. 1: APPROVAL, IN ACCORDANCE WITH NASDAQ
MARKETPLACE RULE 5635(D), OF THE ISSUANCE CAP PROPOSAL

General

In this proposal, we are asking stockholders to approve, for the purposes of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d), the issuance in excess of 19.99% of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of June 21, 2024 (the “Nasdaq Cap”) of (i) additional shares of Common Stock, of the Company issuable pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement (as defined below) and that certain Purchase Agreement (as defined below), including pursuant to the securities issued thereunder.

Summary of the Financing

On June 21, 2024 the Company entered into (i) a credit and guaranty agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A hereto (the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and CCM Denali Debt Holdings, LP, as administrative agent and collateral agent, acting through Cerberus Capital Management II, L.P. (“Cerberus”) and (ii) a securities purchase agreement, a copy of which is attached as Appendix B hereto (the “Purchase Agreement,” together with the Credit Agreement, the “Agreements”) with CCM Denali Equity Holdings, LP (“CCM Denali Equity”), acting through Cerberus. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the lenders have agreed to provide the Company with a $210.5 million secured multi-draw facility (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan”) that is to be made in four installments (the first installment of $75 million was funded on June 21, 2024, and the remaining amount is to be funded upon three additional draws), and a $105 million revolving credit facility, to be made available at the lenders’ sole discretion and only if the Delayed Draw Term Loan is fully funded (the “Revolving Facility” and together with the Delayed Draw Term Loan, the “Facilities”), on terms and subject to conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement (the transactions contemplated by the Agreements and the Facilities, the “Financing”). The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement and the Facilities are guaranteed by subsidiaries of the Company and secured by a first-priority lien on all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company’s ability to make additional borrowings under the Delayed Draw Term Loan is subject to certain closing and drawing conditions, with each of the subsequent three future draws permitted to occur during specified availability periods set forth in the Credit Agreement and subject to the achievement of certain milestones (as described further below). Upon each future draw under the Delayed Draw Term Loan, if Stockholder Approval (as defined below) is obtained, the Company will issue Warrants (as defined below) and/or Series B Preferred Stock (as defined below) in amounts representing predetermined, fully diluted, percentages (an “Applicable Percentage”) of Common Stock. Upon any failure to achieve a milestone, in addition to not being able to receive a draw on the Delayed Draw Term Loan unless waived by the lenders, the Applicable Percentage will be subject to up to a 4.0% increase for all milestone events as to each of the four milestone measurement dates (and a maximum of 16.0% in the aggregate) (the “Equity Penalty”) which could result in the issuance of, (i) if prior to obtaining Stockholder Approval (as defined below), additional shares of a series of non-convertible preferred stock on substantially similar terms as the Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (ii) if after obtaining Stockholder Approval, additional warrants (the “Future Warrants,” and collectively with the Initial Warrant, the “Warrants”) and/or shares of Series B Preferred Stock which will be substantially similar to the Series A Preferred Stock except that the Series B Preferred Stock will be convertible into Common Stock and will have preemptive rights to participate in certain future equity offerings by the Company (any subseries, collectively, the “Series B Preferred Stock,” and, collectively with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Preferred Stock”), such allocation between the Warrants and the Preferred Stock to be made at Cerberus’s, as the purchaser, election. The Equity Penalty is subject to forfeiture if future milestones are achieved by the Company. At such time as the Delayed Draw Term Loan is fully drawn, the Company will have issued securities under the Purchase Agreement in an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage, up to an aggregate of a 33.0% ownership limitation on a fully-diluted basis, assuming the achievement of each milestone. Each holder of Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants will be prevented from converting or exercising Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants, respectively, if such conversion or exercise would result in such holder beneficially owning more than 49.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company (the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”).

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at an annual rate equal to 15.0% per annum, subject to the following increases: (i) an additional 5.0% per annum upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Credit Agreement; and (ii) if the Company fails to obtain Stockholder Approval within 90 days following the signing of the Credit Agreement, commencing on the first day of each applicable period and continuing until the date on which the Company receives Stockholder Approval: (a) from September 20, 2024 to October 19, 2024, an additional 1.0% per

annum (to a total annual rate would then equal 16.0% per annum); (b) from October 20, 2024 to November 18, 2024, an additional 1.0% increase (to a total annual rate equal to 17.0% per annum); (c) from November 19, 2024 to December 18, 2024, an additional 1.0% increase (to a total annual rate equal to 18.0% per annum); (d) from December 19, 2024 to January 17, 2025, an additional 1.0% increase (to a total annual rate equal to 19.0% per annum); and (e) from January 18, 2024 to the date the Company obtains Stockholder Approval, an additional 1.0% increase (to a total annual rate equal to 20% per annum).

The performance milestones include measures related to the Company’s automated line, materials cost, Z3 technology and backlog/cash conversion. Performance milestones related to the Company’s automated line, materials cost and Z3 technology have not yet been achieved but are in line with the Company’s internal business goals through April 30, 2025. The milestones related to backlog and cash conversion approximate the cash that would be expected to be received related to certain customer milestone payments at the lower end of the Company’s previously released revenue guidance for 2024 and potential 2025 revenue scenarios in its December 2023 strategic outlook as adjusted through April 30, 2025. In the event the Company fails to achieve any milestones on any predetermined draw date or the one additional milestone measurement date, the Company will not receive the specific draw unless waived by Cerberus and will be subject to the Equity Penalty represented by an up to 4.0% increase in the Applicable Percentage of Cerberus at each missed milestone measurement date.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company sold, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, on June 21, 2024 (the “Initial Draw Date”), (i) 59 shares of non-voting, non-convertible Series A-1 Preferred Stock of the Company, having the designation, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications and terms and conditions as specified in the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation, a copy of which is attached as Appendix D hereto (the “Series A-1 Certificate of Designation”) and (ii) a warrant to purchase 43,276,194 shares of Common Stock, a form of which is attached as Appendix C hereto (the “Initial Warrant”), representing a collective Applicable Percentage of 19.99%. In accordance with Nasdaq Interpretative Material 5635-2, shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Initial Warrant, if any, will not be entitled to vote on the Issuance Cap Proposal.

Assuming the conditions for the Company to receive the next draw, pursuant to the Delayed Draw Term Loan, in connection with the August 31, 2024 milestone measurement date are satisfied, the Company anticipates receiving $30 million. In connection therewith, the Company plans issue shares of a new series of Series A Preferred Stock, with the number of shares of such series having an Applicable Percentage of 4.9%, which as of [•], 2024 would result in the issuance of [•] shares of such series of Series A Preferred Stock.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company is required to hold this Special Meeting within 90 days of the Initial Draw Date to approve the transactions contemplated by the Agreements, including the issuance of common stock of the Company in excess of the Nasdaq Cap, by the affirmative vote from the minimum number of shareholder required to approve the transactions contemplated by the Agreements (the “Stockholder Approval”). Following the Stockholder Approval, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock issued upon the Initial Draw will be convertible into a number of shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B-1 Preferred Stock”) equal to the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the liquidation value of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock will be convertible into 1.0 million shares of Common Stock, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Cap.

Warrants

The Initial Warrant has a ten-year term and a $0.01 per share exercise price. The Initial Warrant includes anti-dilution rights, subject to certain excluded issuances, in the event any shares of Common Stock, options, warrants, convertible securities or other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Stock are issued at a price per share of less than the fair market value (as defined in the Initial Warrant) of a share of Common Stock on the issuance date of the Initial Warrant, subject to adjustment. Prior to Stockholder Approval, in lieu of receiving such anti-dilution protection, the liquidation value of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be proportionately increased to give effect to such anti-dilution protection. Until or unless the Company receives Stockholder Approval, the Company may not issue shares of Common Stock exceeding the Nasdaq Cap upon exercise of the Initial Warrant, and is required to issue Series A Preferred Stock upon a draw under the Delayed Draw Term Loan. If Stockholder Approval is obtained the Nasdaq Cap would no longer apply, and the exercise of the Initial Warrant would be subject to the Beneficial Ownership Cap.

The Initial Warrant is exercisable at the holder’s discretion for cash or on a cashless basis. The Initial Warrant is subject to automatic cashless exercise on the expiration date if the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Initial Warrant) of one share is greater than the exercise price then in effect. Upon an acceleration under the Credit Agreement, the Company will be required to purchase the Initial Warrant from the holder at an amount equal to the Closing Sale Price (as defined in the Initial Warrant) less the warrant price at the request of the holder. The terms of any Future Warrants issued pursuant to the terms of the Agreements will be substantially similar to those of the Initial Warrant issued on the Initial Draw Date, but for the number of Common Stock to which such Warrant is exercisable.

Series A-1 Preferred Stock

On June 21, 2024, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation. Under the terms of the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation, each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock has an original issue price of $455,822.59 (the “A-1 Original Issue Price”) and a liquidation value, payable pari passu with the Common Stock, as if such shares were convertible into 541,357 shares, or an aggregate of 31,940,063 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment. The Series A-1 Preferred Stock is non-voting and non-convertible into Common Stock. Holders of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends or distributions on each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock equal to dividends or distributions actually paid on each share of Common Stock, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Liquidation Value (as defined in the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation). The Series A-1 Preferred Stock will become convertible into shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock when Stockholder Approval is obtained.

Under the terms of the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation, the Certificate of Designation for any additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock, a form of which is attached hereto as Appendix F (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”), the Series B-1 Certificate of Designation and the Certificate of Designation for any additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock, a form of which is attached hereto as Appendix E (the “Series B Certificate of Designation”), at all times when the holders of the Preferred Stock beneficially own at least 10.0% of the capital stock of the Company (subject to adjustment as indicated in the applicable Certificate of Designation), such holders of the Preferred Stock, exclusively and voting together as a separate class, will have the right to appoint one (1) director to the Board. At all times holders of the Preferred Stock beneficially own at least 15.0% of the capital stock of the Company (subject to adjustment as indicated in the applicable Certificate of Designation), such holders of the Preferred Stock, exclusively and voting together as a separate class, will have the right to appoint a second director to the Board. At all times holders of the Preferred Stock beneficially own at least 30.0% of the capital stock of the Company (subject to adjustment as indicated in the applicable Certificate of Designation), such holders of the Preferred Stock, exclusively and voting together as a separate class, will have the right to appoint a third director to the Board. At all times holders of the Preferred Stock beneficially own at least 40.0% of the capital stock of the Company (subject to adjustment as indicated in the applicable Certificate of Designation), such holders of the Preferred Stock, exclusively and voting together as a separate class, will have the right to nominate and designate a fourth director, who shall be designated by the Board or the nominating committee of the Board to a class of common directors and stand for election as a common director on the Board; provided that, the nominating committee of the Board determine that such appointment of the fourth director not result in a change of control under any Company governing documents or violate any applicable laws, including requirements of the SEC and Nasdaq. In the event that any such fourth director is not approved by the stockholders of the Company at the applicable annual meeting of stockholders, the holders of record of the shares of Preferred Stock will have the right to appoint and elect a replacement for such director, pursuant to the approval requirements set forth above. To the extent any of such directors qualify to serve on any committees of the Board, for each such committee for which at least one (1) director is qualified, such director will be invited to serve on such committee of the Board. So long as the holders of Preferred Stock have a right to appoint a director, the holders thereof will be entitled to appoint a non-voting observer to the Board. At all times when the holders of Preferred Stock have a right to appoint a director, the holders of Preferred Stock shall not vote any shares of Common Stock they receive upon the conversion of any Preferred Stock or the exercise of any Warrants in any appointment of directors.

At any time after June 21, 2029, the outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock held by any holder become redeemable for cash at the redemption price. The redemption price will be an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the A-1 Original Issue Price (as defined in the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation) plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, up to and including the date of redemption and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the Series A-1 Liquidation Value (as defined in the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation) multiplied by the average of the closing sale price of the Common Stock for the 5 business days immediately prior to the date of redemption plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, up to and including the date of redemption. Subject to

certain excluded issuances (as defined in the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation), the Series A-1 Preferred Stock is subject to anti-dilution protection in the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the liquidation preference. Additionally, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock provides that, to the extent the Initial Warrant so requires, the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the Series A-1 Liquidation Value will be increased as set forth in the Initial Warrant.

Until the later of (i) such time when the holders of Preferred Stock shall no longer beneficially own at least 5% of the outstanding capital stock of the Company and (ii) June 21, 2029, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall have certain other protective provisions including, among others, limiting the ability of the Company to perform any of the following without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of the Preferred Stock: (a) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Company or effect any event that requires a distribution to the Company’s stockholders in accordance to their liquidation preference, or any other merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance; (b) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the certificate of formation or bylaws of the Company in a manner that adversely affects the special rights, powers and preferences of the Preferred Stock (or any series thereof); (c) create or issue or obligate itself to issue shares of, or reclassify, any capital stock other than excluded issuances (as defined in the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation); (d) increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of preferred stock, or create any additional class or series of capital stock of the Company (other than increases in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock); or (e) purchase or redeem (or permit any subsidiary to purchase or redeem) or pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on, any shares of capital stock of the Company other than (x) redemptions of or dividends or distributions on the Preferred Stock as expressly authorized therein or in the certificate of designation of any Preferred Stock, and (y) dividends or other distributions payable on the Common Stock solely in the form of additional shares of Common Stock.

Reasons for the Financing and Seeking Stockholder Approval

Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) requires us to obtain Stockholder Approval prior to the sale, issuance or potential issuance of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock) in connection with a transaction other than a public offering at a price less than the minimum price which either alone or together with sales by officers, directors or substantial stockholders of the Company equals 20% or more of the Common Stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance. On June 21, 2024, the initial closing date and date of execution of the Purchase Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the applicable “minimum price” was $0.844 per share. Stockholder Approval of this proposal will constitute Stockholder Approval for purposes of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d). To the extent the Financing would be considered a transaction that would be covered under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(b), approval of this proposal would also constitute Stockholder Approval for purposes of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(b).

In June 2024, our Board unanimously determined that the terms of the Financing were in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for the following reasons:

• On August 31, 2023, the Department of Energy issued a Conditional Commitment in favor of the Company for a potential approximately $400 million loan to finance four automated manufacturing lines for the Company’s Z3 batteries. In mid-2023, anticipating the Conditional Commitment, the Company began exploring additional funding that it would need, including extending or refinancing its $100 million credit facility (the “Atlas Facility”) by and among the Company, ACP Post Oak Credit I LLC (“Atlas”), as administrative agent and collateral agent and the lenders party thereto.

• After discussions with Atlas, the Company determined that its funding needs would have to include the refinancing of the Atlas Facility. Therefore, the Company began to pursue a range of debt and equity financing alternatives.

• After reviewing the identified alternatives, the Company determined that the amount of capital available, even on an aggregate basis, was not sufficient to provide the funding necessary for the Company’s future operations through profitability. Therefore, the Company explored the availability of a large, secured financing. This led to the Company and Cerberus to begin discussions and resulted in Cerberus providing in early 2024 a preliminary, non-binding indication of interest regarding an up to $300 million first lien senior secured debt facility.

• While the Company was in discussions with Cerberus, it also independently entered into an engagement letter with Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (“Wells Fargo”) in early 2024 to assist the Company in identifying third parties to provide loans or debt securities of approximately $275 million to finance ongoing working capital requirements, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. In connection therewith, 23 potential financing sources were approached, ten prospective financing sources executed non-disclosure agreements with the Company which provided them access to the virtual data room, including an investor presentation and financial model of the Company and two prospective financing sources had one-on-one management presentations with the Company; however, none of these prospective financing sources provided a term sheet.

• After reviewing the available financing alternatives, and discussions with the Company’s senior management and strategic advisors, the Board believed the Financing was the only viable solution with the highest degree of certainty available to the Company and was in the best interests of the stockholders in order to secure the financing necessary to meet the Company’s immediate needs to remain in operation and projected needs through profitability.

• An additional significant benefit of the Financing was that Cerberus facilitated a payoff of the Atlas Facility. The Atlas Facility had an aggregate principal amount outstanding at termination of $100.0. The Company refinanced it for $27 million.

• Also a benefit of the Financing is the Company’s belief that it will benefit from Cerberus’ deep operational and technical knowledge which the Company believes will enable it to expand its manufacturing capacity, streamline its supply change and strengthen its market position. The Company has already entered into agreements with Cerberus’ affiliates relating to business and operational needs of the Company and IT related services.

• The ability to access capital under the Delayed Draw Term Loan and partnership with Cerberus provides the Company with a source of capital sufficient to meet the Company’s currently projected needs, while maintaining a potential option to proceed with the Department of Energy’s Conditional Commitment if Cerberus and the Department of Energy reach agreement on certain terms. Rather than having to focus on satisfying its immediate equity needs as it has previously, the Company is now able to focus on performance and profitability, expanding its manufacturing capacity, streamlining its supply chain, and strengthening its market position. The Delayed Draw Term Loan is milestone-based for additional draws and penalties, and is anticipated to allow management to focus on meeting milestones and ultimately profitability. Although there can be no certainty that the Company will meet the performance milestones, at the time of approval of the Financing, the Company and the Board believed the performance milestones were achievable, in which case the additional funding tranches would be available and the Equity Penalty securities would not be issuable.

• Cerberus will be prevented from converting or exercising Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants, respectively, if such conversion or exercise would result in Cerberus beneficially owning more than the Beneficial Ownership Cap.

• Cerberus is subject to a lock-up restriction pursuant to which Cerberus shall not transfer any securities issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement until June 21, 2025. Such lock-up restrictions are intended to protect investors against excessive selling pressure in the market.

After giving consideration to these and other factors, our Board approved the Financing, which our Board believes was the most promising strategic path available to us.

Pursuant to our obligations under the terms of the Financing, we are seeking Stockholder Approval under this proposal to approve, for the purposes of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d), the issuance in excess of 19.99% of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of June 21, 2024 of (i) additional shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of the Initial Warrant, (ii) shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any Future Warrants issued pursuant to the terms of the Agreements, (iii) shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, pursuant to the terms of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, and (iv) the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion of any subseries of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company that may be issued in the future pursuant to the terms of the Agreements.

Impact of Approval of the Issuance Cap Proposal

Following the Stockholder Approval, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock will be convertible into a number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that are convertible into to the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the liquidation value of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Warrant will no longer be subject to the Nasdaq Cap, and the exercise of the Initial Warrant would be subject to the Beneficial Ownership Cap. Each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of Common Stock, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Cap. Subsequent to the initial $75 million draw under the Delayed Draw Term Loan, and following Stockholder Approval, additional issuances of securities pursuant to the Agreements will be Warrants and/or shares of Series B Preferred Stock, at Cerberus’s option, instead of additional Shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Warrants and the Series B Preferred Stock will be subject to the Beneficial Ownership Cap, as of the applicable measurement date.

The Certificate of Designation for each subseries of Series B Preferred Stock will contain substantially similar terms to the Series A-1 Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation except that each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock will be convertible into 1.0 million shares of Common Stock and will contain pre-emptive rights to participate in certain future offerings of equity securities by the Company.

Potential Consequences if the Issuance Cap Proposal is Not Approved

The failure of the Company’s stockholders to approve the Issuance Cap Proposal will prevent the Company from issuing securities in excess of the Nasdaq Cap under the Initial Warrant, any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, any Future Warrants or any shares underlying any Future Warrants. However, it would be possible for the Company to issue additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock to Cerberus.

In addition, borrowings under the Credit Agreement initially bear interest at an annual rate equal to 15.0% per annum. However, if the Company’s stockholders fail to approve this proposal within 90 days following the signing of the Credit Agreement, commencing on the first day of each applicable period and continuing until the date on which the Company receives Stockholder Approval, interest rate per annum will increase as follows: (a) from September 20, 2024 to October 19, 2024, an increase to an annual rate equal to 16.0% per annum; (b) from October 20, 2024 to November 18, 2024, an increase to an annual rate equal to 17.0% per annum; (c) from November 19, 2024 to December 18, 2024, an increase to an annual rate equal to 18.0% per annum; (d) from December 19, 2024 to January 17, 2025, an increase to an annual rate equal to 19.0% per annum; and (e) on January 18, 2024 to the date the Company obtains Stockholder Approval, an increase to an annual rate equal to 20% per annum. However, if Stockholder Approval is obtained after 90 days, the Company will be able to issue Series B Preferred Stock and Future Warrants pursuant to the Agreements, and the interest rate for borrowings under the Credit Agreement will return to an annual rate equal to 15.0% per annum.

In addition, if we do not obtain Stockholder Approval such that we are not permitted to issue Future Warrants or Series B Preferred Stock to Cerberus, should we need to raise additional capital, Cerberus may be less likely to invest additional sums in the Company other than those required by the Agreements, including not making available the Revolving Facility, and we may need to seek alternative sources of capital to fund our operations, which may not be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. We can provide no assurance that we would be successful in raising funds in the future or that such funds could be raised at acceptable prices. If we are unable to raise additional capital, then we may have difficulty entering into liquidity transactions, which would lead to a decrease in revenues and adversely affect our operations and business plans. Accordingly, our Board believes that providing the Company the flexibility to issue securities as described herein is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

Effect on Current Stockholders

As of [•], 2024 there were [•] shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and an aggregate of [•] shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of outstanding convertible securities, including 43,276,194 shares of Common Stock underlying the Initial Warrant. Although the Initial Warrant contains anti-dilution protection, unless Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Initial Warrant is not exercisable for more than the Nasdaq Cap on the Initial Draw Date, and upon approval of the Issuance Cap Proposal, the Initial Warrant would no longer be subject to such limitation and would instead be subject to the Beneficial Ownership Cap.

Following the Initial Draw Date, on three separate predetermined draw dates, upon the achievement of the corresponding performance milestone for each such draw date and after obtaining Stockholder Approval, the Company will receive additional funds under the Credit Agreement and will issue securities under the Purchase Agreement in an amount equal to an aggregate Applicable Percentage of 33.0% at such time the Delayed Draw Term Loan is fully drawn. Upon subsequent draws under the Delayed Draw Term Loan and the achievement of the applicable milestones, if Stockholder Approval is obtained, the Company will issue Future Warrants and/or Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with the Agreements at Cerberus’s option. In the event the Company fails to achieve any milestones on any predetermined draw date or the one additional milestone measurement date, the Company will not receive the specific draw unless waived by Cerberus and will be subject to the Equity Penalty. Cerberus will be prevented from converting or exercising Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants, respectively, if such conversion or exercise would result in Cerberus beneficially owning more than the Beneficial Ownership Cap.

If Cerberus, as the purchaser, funds all draws under the Delayed Draw Term Loan and the Company meets each of the milestones under the Delayed Draw Term Loan, Cerberus will be entitled to receive Preferred Stock or Warrants aggregating to an Applicable Percentage of 33.0% or assuming the Company issues no other securities after [•], 2024, Preferred Stock and Warrants with respect to an aggregate of [•] shares of Common Stock. If Stockholder Approval is obtained such shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants would be convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, subject only to the Beneficial Ownership Cap.

If Cerberus funds all draws under the Delayed Draw Term Loan and the Company fails to meet all of the milestones under the Delayed Draw Term Loan, Cerberus would be entitled to receive Preferred Stock or Warrants aggregating to an Applicable Percentage of 49.0%, or assuming the Company issues no other securities after [•], 2024, Preferred Stock and Warrants with respect to an aggregate of [•] shares of Common Stock. If Stockholder Approval is obtained such shares of Preferred Stock and Warrants would be convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, subject only to the Beneficial Ownership Cap.

In addition, if the Company were to issue additional shares of Common Stock or securities convertible or exercisable into Common Stock or trigger anti-dilution protection under the Preferred Stock and Warrants, the Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants may become convertible or exercisable into additional shares of Common Stock up to the Beneficial Ownership Cap. The issuance, pursuant to the terms of the Warrants and the Series B Preferred Stock, of Common Stock will dilute the percentage ownership interest of all stockholders, could dilute the book value per share of the Common Stock and will increase the number of the Company’s outstanding shares, and upon conversion or exercise would dilute the voting power of the Common Stock, which could cause the market price of our Common Stock to decrease. Depressed trading prices of our Common Stock could further impair our ability to raise sufficient capital to carry on our business.

Following the Stockholder Approval, the Series A-1 Preferred Stock will convert into a number of shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock that are convertible into the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the liquidation value of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock will be convertible into 1.0 million shares of Common Stock, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Cap.

Any holder or “group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) of holders of Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants would be prevented from converting or exercising Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants if such conversion or exercise would result in such holder or group of holders beneficially owning more than the Beneficial Ownership Cap at any given time. Because such Beneficial Ownership Cap only applies as of a moment in time, if the holder or group of holders were to transfer shares of Common Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Warrants to a third party, an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of more than the Beneficial Ownership Cap as to any single holder, could be issuable under the Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants. Given that the Warrants and Series B Preferred Stock would be exercisable and convertible into Common Stock, as applicable, the voting power of the currently outstanding Common Stock could therefore be significantly diluted.

PROPOSAL NO. 2: APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

Background of and Reasons for the Adjournment Proposal

The Board believes that (i) if the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock voted is insufficient to approve the Issuance Cap Proposal or (ii) in the absence of a quorum, it is in the best interests of the stockholders to enable the Board to continue to seek to obtain a sufficient number of additional votes to approve the Issuance Cap Proposal.

In the Adjournment Proposal, we are asking stockholders to authorize the holder of any proxy solicited by the Board to vote in favor of adjourning or postponing the Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. If our stockholders approve this proposal, we could adjourn or postpone the Special Meeting, and any adjourned session of the Special Meeting, to use the additional time to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Issuance Cap Proposal. Among other things, approval of this proposal could mean that, even if we had received proxies representing a sufficient number of votes to defeat Proposal 1, we could adjourn the Special Meeting without a vote on such proposal and seek to convince our stockholders to change their votes in favor of such proposal and/or convince our stockholders who have not voted their shares to vote them in favor of Proposal 1.

Required Vote

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Special Meeting. Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast on the Adjournment Proposal. All proposals presented at the Special Meeting are “non-routine” matters and, therefore, there will be no “broker non-votes.”

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE

FOR APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information relating to the beneficial ownership of our Common Stock as of [•], 2024 by:

• each person, or group of affiliated persons, known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock;

• each of our directors, nominees and named executive officers; and

• all directors and executive officers as a group.

A person is a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares voting or investment power over the security or if that person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power over the security within 60 days. Unless otherwise noted, these persons, to our knowledge, have sole voting and investment power over the shares listed. In computing the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding shares of Common Stock subject to options, warrants and restricted stock units held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of [•], 2024.

Unless stated otherwise, the percentage of shares beneficially owned is computed on the basis of [•] shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of [•], 2024.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker, Bank or Other Agent

If, on the Record Date, your shares were held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Special Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account.

If you are a beneficial owner as described above, you should have received a Proxy Card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from the brokerage firm, bank, dealer or other similar organization that holds your shares, rather than from us. Simply complete and mail the Proxy Card to ensure that your vote is counted. To vote online at the virtual Special Meeting, you must obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank, dealer or other agent and follow the accompanying instructions included with these proxy materials.

We provide internet proxy voting to allow you to vote your shares online before the Special Meeting, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions. However, please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your internet access, such as usage charges from internet access providers and telephone companies.

What am I voting on?

There are two matters scheduled for a vote:

• Proposal 1: To approve, for the purposes of Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d), the issuance in excess of the Nasdaq Cap of additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Agreements.

• Proposal 2: To approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting in order to solicit additional proxies (i) if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve Proposal 1 described above or (ii) in the absence of a quorum.

How does the Board recommend that I vote on the proposals?

The Board recommends that you vote as follows:

• “FOR” Proposal 1: the Issuance Cap Proposal.

• “FOR” Proposal 2: the Adjournment Proposal.

What is the required vote to approve the proposal discussed in this Proxy Statement?

With respect to Issuance Cap Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, the affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast is required for approval. Abstentions, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Special Meeting. All proposals presented at the Special Meeting are “non-routine” matters and, therefore, there will be no “broker non-votes.”

What are “broker non-votes”?

If your shares are held by your broker as your nominee (that is, in “street name”), you will need to instruct your broker to vote your shares. If you do not give instructions to your broker, the broker will determine if it has the discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter. Under NYSE rules, which are also applicable to Nasdaq-listed companies, brokers, banks and other securities intermediaries that are subject to NYSE rules may use their discretion to vote your “uninstructed” shares on matters considered to be “routine” under NYSE rules but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. All proposals presented at the Special Meeting are considered “non-routine” matters under applicable rules and, therefore, if you do not give instructions to your broker, there will be no “broker non-votes.”

How many votes do I have?

On each matter to be voted upon, you have one vote for each share of Common Stock you own as of the Record Date.

What if I return a Proxy Card but do not make specific choices?

If we receive a signed and dated Proxy Card and the Proxy Card does not specify how your shares are to be voted, your shares will be voted “FOR” the Issuance Cap Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal. If any other matter is properly presented at the Special Meeting, your proxy (one of the individuals named on your Proxy Card) will vote your shares in his or her discretion.

What does it mean if I receive more than one set of materials?

If you receive more than one set of materials, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. In order to vote all the shares you own, you must either sign and return all of the Proxy Cards or follow the instructions for any alternative voting procedure on each of the Proxy Cards.

Can I change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. You can revoke your proxy at any time before the final vote at the Special Meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of three ways:

• You may submit another properly completed proxy with a later date.

• You may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to our Investor Relations Department at 3920 Park Avenue, Edison, New Jersey 08820, 312-445-2870 or email ir@eose.com.

• You may attend the virtual Special Meeting through online presence and vote online. Simply attending the Special Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your prior proxy.

If your shares are held by your broker, bank or other agent, you should follow the instructions provided by them.

When are stockholder proposals due for next year’s Annual Meeting?

If you wish to submit a stockholder proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act to be considered for inclusion in next year’s proxy materials, your proposal must be submitted in writing by January 1, 2025 to Eos Energy Enterprises Inc., c/o Elizabeth Higley, 3920 Park Avenue, Edison, New Jersey 08820, or email at ir@eose.com.

Pursuant to our Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), in order for a stockholder to present a proposal at the annual meeting, other than 14a-8 proposals to be included in the Proxy Statement as described above, or to nominate a director, you must give timely notice thereof in writing to the Corporate Secretary at Eos Energy Enterprises Inc., 3920 Park Avenue, Edison, New Jersey 08820, which must be received between January 1, 2025 and January 31, 2025; provided that if the date of the 2025 annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after May 1, 2025, notice must be received no earlier than 120 days prior to such annual meeting and no later than the later of the 90th day prior to the annual meeting date or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the 2025 annual meeting date is first made by the Company. You are also advised to review our Bylaws, which contain additional requirements about advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements, including the timing and other requirements, under our Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must also provide notice to our Corporate Secretary that sets forth all information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, and such notice must be received no later than March 2, 2025. A shareholder seeking to utilize the universal proxy rules must comply with those rules and must also comply with our Bylaws, including the obligation to provide timely notice as described above.

What is the quorum requirement?

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote are present online at the virtual Special Meeting or represented by proxy. Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy or vote at the Special Meeting. On the record date for the Special Meeting, there were [•] shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Thus, the holders of [•] shares must be present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting to have a quorum.

If there is no quorum, either the chair of the Special Meeting or a majority in voting power of the stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, present online or represented by proxy, may adjourn the Special Meeting to another time or place. Abstentions will count toward the establishment of a quorum, but “broker non-votes” will not count toward the establishment of a quorum because no routine matters will be brought before the meeting.

How can I find out the results of the voting at the Special Meeting?

Voting results will be announced by the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the Special Meeting.

Who can help answer my questions?

If you have questions about this Proxy Statement or if you need additional copies of the proxy materials, you should contact our Investor Relations department at 312-445-2870 or email ir@eose.com. To obtain timely delivery, our stockholders must request the materials on or before [•], 2024 to facilitate timely delivery.

Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies?

Eos will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the general meeting. Eos will reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of ordinary shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of ordinary shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, mail, on the Internet or at the Special Meeting. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies. In addition, we have retained Sodali to act as a proxy solicitor in conjunction with the Special Meeting. We have agreed to pay that firm $12,500, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, for proxy solicitation services.

Tranche 1 Term Loan shall terminate immediately and without further action on the earlier of (a) the applicable Borrowing Date after giving effect to the making of the Tranche 1 Term Loan on such Borrowing Date (if made) or (b) after the lapse of the applicable Draw Period set forth in the Milestone Schedule.

(iii) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, compliance with applicable milestone event set forth in the Milestone Schedule), each Lender severally agrees to make, during the applicable Draw Period set forth in the Milestone Schedule, a Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Tranche 2 Commitment (the “Tranche 2 Term Loan”). Each Lender’s obligation to make the Tranche 2 Term Loan shall terminate immediately and without further action on the earlier of (a) the applicable Borrowing Date after giving effect to the making of the Tranche 2 Term Loan on such Borrowing Date (if made) or (b) after the lapse of the applicable Draw Period set forth in the Milestone Schedule.

(iv) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, compliance with applicable milestone event set forth in the Milestone Schedule), each Lender severally agrees to make, during the applicable Draw Period set forth in the Milestone Schedule, a Term Loan in an aggregate principal amount equal to such Lender’s Tranche 3 Commitment (the “Tranche 3 Term Loan”). Each Lender’s obligation to make the Tranche 3 Term Loan shall terminate immediately and without further action on the earlier of (a) the applicable Borrowing Date after giving effect to the making of the Tranche 3 Term Loan on such Borrowing Date (if made) or (b) after the lapse of the applicable Draw Period set forth in the Milestone Schedule.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Lenders shall have no obligation to make the Term Loans under clauses (ii) through (iv) above unless or until the applicable milestone event set forth in the Milestone Schedule has been satisfied (or otherwise waived) in accordance with the terms thereof. Any Term Loan that is subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. All amounts owed hereunder with respect to any Term Loans, including the Total Prepayment Amount, shall be paid in accordance with the payment terms set forth herein (including, without limitation, payment terms with respect to interest payments set forth in Section 2.5 and mandatory prepayments, if any, set forth in Section 2.10) and in the Fee Letter, and, in any event, the Term Loan (inclusive of Capitalized Interest) shall be paid in full in Cash no later than the Maturity Date.

(b) Revolving Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, any Lender may, in its sole discretion, agree from time to time during the Availability Period to make Loans (each, a “Revolving Loan”) to Borrower in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Revolving Loans may be prepaid, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including the agreement by a Lender to extend such Revolving Loan in its sole discretion), be reborrowed. All amounts owed hereunder with respect to any Revolving Loans shall be paid in accordance with the payment terms set forth herein (including, without limitation, payment terms with respect to interest payments set forth in Section 2.5) and, in any event, any Revolving Loan shall be paid in full in Cash no later than the Maturity Date.

(c) Borrowing Mechanics.

(i) Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a fully executed Borrowing Request no later than (1) 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) two (2) Business Days (or such shorter period as Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) for the Borrowing of the Initial Term Loan on the Closing Date and (2) 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) twelve (12) Business Days (or such shorter period as Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) prior to the proposed Borrowing Date of any Delayed Draw Term Loans or Revolving Loan, and with respect to a Revolving Loan, evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent confirming such Lender’s agreement to provide the requested Revolving Loan. Each Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable; provided that, without limiting Section 3.2(e), Borrowing Requests for a Delayed Draw Term Loan may be expressly conditioned upon the compliance with the applicable milestone event set forth in the Milestone Schedule, in each case, to the extent that Borrower reasonably believes (at such time and continuing through the Borrowing Date) such milestone event will be achieved or satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof. Promptly upon receipt by Administrative Agent of such Borrowing Request for Term Loans, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing.

(ii) Each Lender shall make its Term Loan available to Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Closing Date (or such later time as Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at Administrative Agent’s Principal Office. Upon

satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein and receipt of all funds requested in the applicable Borrowing Request, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the Term Loans available to Borrower on the Closing Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Term Loans received by Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited by wire transfer to the account of Borrower as may be designated in writing to Administrative Agent by Borrower in said Borrowing Request. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein (including, without limitation, a Lender’s irrevocable, binding agreement to extend a Revolving Loan expressly referencing this Section and its irrevocable election pursuant to this Agreement) and receipt of all funds requested in the applicable Borrowing Request from the Lender agreeing to provide such Revolving Loan, Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the Revolving Loan available to Borrower on the Borrowing Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of each such Revolving Loan received by Administrative Agent from such Lender(s) to be credited by wire transfer to the account of Borrower as may be designated in writing to Administrative Agent by Borrower in said Borrowing Request.

2.2 Pro Rata Shares. All Term Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Term Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Term Loan Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Term Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

2.3 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used to (i) fund Capital Expenditures incurred in connection with the development, design, construction, installation and operation of the Credit Parties’ Znyth 3 battery automation production lines located at the manufacturing facility in Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania (the “Turtle Creek Facility”), in each case, strictly in accordance with the CapEx Budget and Section 6.3, (ii) fund working capital needs of Borrower strictly in accordance with the CapEx Budget, (iii) with respect to the Initial Term Loan A, repay all Indebtedness owing under the Atlas Facility as contemplated by Section 3.1(a)(xviii), together with fees and expenses due and owing thereunder and (iv) pay fees, costs and expenses payable by Borrower in connection with the transactions under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents; provided that, upon request by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) provide evidence (which shall be satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) of Borrower’s compliance with the foregoing. No portion of the proceeds of any Loan shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Loan or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Federal Reserve Board or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act.

2.4 Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it (including Capitalized Interest) and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error; provided that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loans; provided, further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(b) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Borrower at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 10.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Loans.

forth below commencing on the first day of each Applicable Period and continuing until the date on which Borrower is permitted to issue its Series B Preferred Stock as contemplated herein and the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Approval Date”) (as adjusted, the “Interest Rate”).

October 20, 2024 to November 18, 2024	17	%
November 19, 2024 to December 18, 2024	18	%
December 19, 2024 to January 17, 2025	19	%
January 18, 2025 to the Approval Date	20	%

(b) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) daily (unless the cash interest election has been made or deemed made pursuant to Section 2.5(d)), (ii) upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid, and (iii) at maturity, including final maturity.

(c) Interest payable shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan (or, in the case of Capitalized Interest, the date of such capitalization, which is daily on each calendar day) shall be included, and the date of payment in cash of such Loan, shall be excluded; provided that, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one (1) day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan. In computing interest on any other Obligation, the date such Obligation is due and payable shall be included, and the date of payment of such Obligation shall be excluded; provided, further, that, if such Obligation is repaid on the same day on which it is due and payable, no interest shall accrue thereon.

(d) All accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans (other than interest accruing at the Default Rate which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be payable in cash on demand by Administrative Agent) shall be due and payable, in arrears, on a daily basis as compounded interest, added on a daily basis to the then outstanding principal balance of the Loans, which thereafter accrues interest at the then applicable rate (each such addition, “Capitalized Interest”); provided that Borrower may elect to pay interest in cash in arrears for any calendar month by providing written notice to Administrative Agent (in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the end of such calendar month (in which case the interest for such month shall not be capitalized and shall instead be paid in cash on the last calendar day of each month (or, if such date is not a Business Day, on the next Business Day, including interest to, but excluding, such Business Day)); provided, further, that upon the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, Borrower shall be deemed to have made such election and all interest shall be due and payable in cash as set forth in the preceding proviso. Interest shall also be paid on the date of any payment or prepayment of the Loans. All Capitalized Interest shall constitute additional principal on the Loans and shall begin accruing interest thereon commencing on the date on which such Capitalized Interest is added to the principal amount of the Loans on a daily basis each calendar day. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all interest due and payable on the date that the entire then outstanding principal amount of the Loans becomes due and payable (including, without limitation, all Capitalized Interest), whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, shall be due and payable in full in cash on such date. All amounts (including fees, costs, expenses, indemnification obligations or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Credit Document) shall constitute Obligations secured by the Collateral and, if not paid in cash when due, shall bear interest at the rate then applicable to Loans. Any portion of such interest that has accrued pursuant to this Section 2.5 that is not permitted to be capitalized pursuant to this clause (d) shall be paid in cash.

(e) Each determination of an interest rate by Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error.

2.6 Default Interest. Automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding (inclusive of any Capitalized Interest) and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and all Obligations (to the extent not paid when due) owed under any Credit Document, shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Debtor Relief Laws) payable on demand at a rate (the “Default Rate”) that is five percent (5.00%) per annum in excess of the Interest Rate. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest

provided for in this Section 2.6 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of any Agent or Lender. Default interest payable pursuant to this Section 2.6 shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. Interest at the Default Rate shall be payable in cash on demand.

2.7 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agents and Lenders (as applicable) all fees in the amounts and at the times set forth in the Fee Letter.

2.8 Amortization Payments. Commencing on July 31, 2026, Borrower shall repay to Administrative Agent the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding on the last day of each calendar month in equal installments of one half of one percent (0.50%) of the aggregate outstanding balance of the Term Loans (inclusive of Capitalized Interest), together with any fees required to be repaid pursuant to the Fee Letter; provided that the remaining outstanding balance of Term Loans (inclusive of Capitalized Interest) shall be repaid on the Maturity Date, together with the accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and, notwithstanding the foregoing, all remaining Obligations (including, without limitation, all fees payable pursuant to the Fee Letter) relating to the Loans shall be immediately due and payable on the Maturity Date.

Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the principal amount of the Term Loans or portion thereof to be prepaid. If such notice is given, the aggregate amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date designated in such notice. Each partial prepayment of the Term Loans shall be in an amount not less than Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) and integral multiples of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in excess of that amount. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.11(a).

first, to the payment of all fees, costs, indemnities or other expenses then due pursuant to this Agreement or in any other Credit Document (including, without limitation, expenses and indemnities specified in Sections 2.10 and 10.3), to the full extent thereof;

second, to the payment of any accrued interest at the Default Rate, if any;

third, to the payment of any accrued interest (other than Default Rate interest);

fourth, to the payment of, as applicable, the Total Prepayment Amount, if any, on any Loan;

fifth, except as otherwise set forth in Section 2.11(b) in connection with any Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, to prepay Term Loans (inclusive of any Capitalized Interest) on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof);

sixth, other than with respect to any mandatory prepayment required by Section 2.10, to prepay Revolving Loans (inclusive of any Capitalized Interest) on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof);

seventh, to the payment in full of all other Obligations; and

eighth, upon satisfaction in full of all Obligations, to Borrower or as otherwise required by law.

Subject to items “first” through “seventh” preceding, Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Obligations.

(b) Waivable Mandatory Prepayment. In the event a Credit Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Term Loans, not less than twelve (12) Business Days prior to the date (or such shorter period permitted by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion or as may be required due to the later occurrence of the event giving rise to such requirement) (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which any Credit Party (or any of its Subsidiaries) is required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 2.10(f), and Administrative Agent will thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Term Loan of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) the first (1st) Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) the first (1st) Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed not to have elected to exercise such option). On the Required Prepayment Date, Borrower shall (or cause any Subsidiary to) pay to Administrative Agent an amount (the “Required Mandatory Prepayment Amount”) equal to (x) the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment less (y) an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment that would otherwise be payable to those Lenders that have elected to exercise such option. The Required Mandatory Prepayment Amount shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans of those Lenders that have elected (or have been deemed to have elected) not to exercise such option (which prepayment shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11(a)). Such Required Mandatory Prepayment Amount shall include any fees payable pursuant to the Fee Letter (including without limitation the applicable Total Prepayment Amount).

2.12 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lenders, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office designated by Administrative Agent. For purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day (unless determined otherwise by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion).

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal.

(c) Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address or account as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due with respect thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent.

(d) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

(e) Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders, severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and

including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate reasonably determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(f) Any payment by or on behalf of Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) shall be a non-conforming payment (unless determined otherwise by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion). Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Administrative Agent shall give prompt written notice to Borrower and each applicable Lender (which may be by electronic mail) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become an Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such payment is actually received by Administrative Agent (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full and from and after the date such non-conforming payment constitutes an Event of Default such interest shall accrue at the Default Rate determined pursuant to Section 2.6.

(g) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, and the Obligations have become due and payable in full hereunder, whether by acceleration, maturity or otherwise, all payments or proceeds received by any Agent hereunder or under any Collateral Document in respect of any of the Obligations, including, but not limited to all proceeds received by any Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, shall be applied in full or in part as follows: first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including reasonable compensation to each Agent and its agents and counsel, and all other expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by any Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which any Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder or under any Collateral Document (in its capacity as an Agent and not as a Lender) and all advances made by any Agent under any Collateral Document (including, without limitation, any Administrative Agent Advances) for the account of the applicable Grantor, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by any Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any Collateral Document, all in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof; second, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of all other Obligations for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; and third, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order of such Grantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

2.13 Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable Debtor Relief Laws, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided that, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. The provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to (a) any payment made by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or the Fee Letter or (b) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement.

2.14 Increased Costs; Capital Requirements.

(a) Compensation for Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its Loans, Loan principal, Commitments, or other obligations under the Credit Documents, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or such other Recipient, Borrower will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements; Certificates for Reimbursement; Delay in Requests.

(i) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time, Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(ii) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 2.14(a) or 2.14(b) and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(iii) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to Section 2.14(a) or 2.14(b) shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.14 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

2.15 Taxes; Withholding, etc.

(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.15, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such

deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.15) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(d) Indemnification by Borrower. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.15) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that a Credit Party has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 10.6 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 2.15(e).

(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.15, such Credit Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment satisfactory to Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

(g) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of U.S withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Credit Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such 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 Sections 2.15(g)(ii)(A), 2.15(g)(ii)(B) and 2.15(g)(ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent 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 Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative 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 this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Credit Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Credit Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative 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 this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable 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 applicable law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made;

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Credit Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement; and

(E) Administrative Agent, and any successor or supplemental Administrative Agent, shall deliver to Borrower, on or prior to the date on which it becomes Administrative Agent, either (x) a properly completed and duly signed copy of IRS Form W-9 or (y) a properly completed and duly signed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI with respect to payments to be received under the Credit Documents for its own account and a properly completed and duly signed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY evidencing its agreement with Borrower to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal withholding tax purposes.

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 Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.15 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.15), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.15 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This clause (h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(i) Tax Treatment. The Credit Parties and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes,

(i) Each Term Loan shall be treated as debt (and not as equity) under Section 385 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and shall be treated as a debt instrument that is not a “contingent payment debt instrument” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1275-4;

(ii) Each draw of the Term Loan and concurrent issuance of Equity Instruments constitutes an investment unit within the meaning of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code.

(iii) As soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event later than ten (10) Business Days) after the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Term Loan, and at least ten (10) Business Days prior to each closing of a Delayed Draw Term Loan, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent its proposed determination, which determination shall be made reasonably and in good faith, of the issue price of the applicable Term Loan in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(h)(1) together with supporting calculations (including the fair market value of the Equity Instruments being issued in connection with such Term Loan), and Borrower shall consider in good faith Administrative Agent’s comments to such proposed determination;

(iv) Borrower and the Lenders shall report all income tax matters with respect to the Term Loans and Equity Instruments consistent with U.S. federal income tax treatment and issue price determinations provided for by this Section 2.15(i), and shall not take any action or file any Tax return, report or declaration inconsistent therewith, unless: (x) otherwise required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Internal Revenue Code, or (y) a Lender notifies Borrower that it is taking a different position and properly discloses such position in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(h)(2).

(j) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Credit Document.

2.16 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders and as set forth in Section 10.5(b) and Section 10.5(e); and

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.4 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

2.17 Mitigation of Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14(a) or 2.14(b), or requires 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 2.15, then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14 or 2.15 as the case may be, in the future, (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender and (iii) would not otherwise adversely affect the Loans or Commitments, as applicable, of such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

7. GUARANTY

7.1 Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment and performance in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

7.2 Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by, (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 7.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 7.2), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 7.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third-party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 7.2.

7.3 Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section 7.2, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of Borrower to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash in Dollars, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid

interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for Borrower’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against Borrower for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

7.4 Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability; this Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

(b) Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Default or Event of Default;

(c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Borrower is joined in any such action or actions;

(d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid; provided that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; and (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and

(f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission,

waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents or any agreement or instrument executed in connection therewith, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of Indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set offs or counterclaims which Borrower may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

7.5 Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against Borrower, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account, Securities Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to willful misconduct; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, under any of the Credit Documents relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to Borrower and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section 7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

7.6 Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnity Obligations for which no claim has been asserted) shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in Cash and the Commitments shall have terminated, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against Borrower, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnity Obligations for which no claim has been asserted) shall

have been indefeasibly paid in full in Cash and the Commitments shall have terminated, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section 7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against Borrower, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnity Obligations for which no claim has been asserted) shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full in Cash and the Commitments shall not have been terminated, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

7.7 Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of Borrower or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such Indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

7.8 Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in Cash and the Commitments shall have terminated. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

7.9 Authority of Guarantors or Borrower. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

7.10 Financial Condition of Borrower. Any Loans may be made to Borrower or continued from time to time may be entered into from time to time, in each case without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of Borrower at the time of any such grant or continuation. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of Borrower. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from Borrower on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of Borrower and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of Borrower now known or hereafter known by any Beneficiary.

7.11 Bankruptcy, etc.

(a) So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

(b) Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Beneficiaries), or allow the claim of Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Beneficiaries) in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

CCM Denali Debt Holdings, LP is hereby appointed Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and each Lender hereby authorizes CCM Denali Debt Holdings, LP, in such capacity, to act as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Credit Documents. Each Agent hereby agrees to act in its capacity as such upon the express conditions contained herein and the other Credit Documents, as applicable. The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of Agents and the Lenders, and no Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Section 9. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Credit Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law but instead, such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

9.2 Powers and Duties. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. In the event that any obligations (other than the Obligations) are permitted to be incurred hereunder and secured by Liens permitted to be incurred hereunder on all or a portion of the Collateral, each Lender authorizes the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as applicable, to enter into intercreditor agreements, subordination agreements and amendments to the Collateral Documents to reflect such arrangements on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as applicable. Each Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Credit Documents. Each Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. No Agent shall have, by reason hereof or any of the other Credit Documents, a fiduciary relationship or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law in respect of any Lender; and nothing herein or any of the other Credit Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Credit Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

9.3 General Immunity.

(a) No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other Credit Document, or for the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien, or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of any Credit Party to any Agent or any Lender in connection with the Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Credit Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Credit Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default or as to the value or sufficiency of any Collateral or as to the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 3 or elsewhere herein (other than confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to such Agent) or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing.

No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, managers, members, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders (i) for any action taken or omitted by any Agent (A) under or in connection with any of the Credit Documents or (B) with the consent or at the request of the Requisite Lenders (or, if so

specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement) except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) for any failure of any Credit Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document. No Agent shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose or be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by such Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Credit Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.5) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions; provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Credit Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall have no liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Borrower and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Person shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Credit Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 10.5). Each Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, each Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless such Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. No Agent shall, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

(c) Notice of Default or Event of Default. No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to such Agent by a Credit Party or a Lender. In the event that Administrative Agent shall receive such a notice, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders; provided that failure to give such notice shall not result in any liability on the part of Administrative Agent.

9.4 Agents Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that pursuant to such activities, Agents or their Affiliates may receive information regarding any Credit Party or any Affiliate of any Credit Party (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Credit Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that Agents and their Affiliates shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

9.5 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Credit Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or

through their respective and their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 9 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of such Agent and any such sub-agent.

If any indemnity furnished to any Indemnitee Related Party for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Indemnitee Related Party, be insufficient or become impaired, such Indemnitee Related Party may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Indemnitee Related Party against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; provided, further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Indemnitee Related Party against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

9.8 Successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

No Agent shall be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of Collateral Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall such Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

(d) Administrative Agent Advances. Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) from time to time make such disbursements and advances (“Administrative Agent Advances”) which Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable to preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or dispose of the Collateral or any portion thereof, to enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of repayment by Borrower of the Loans and other Obligations or to pay any other amount chargeable to Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 10.2.

Without limitation to its obligations pursuant to Section 9.7, each Lender agrees that it shall make available to Administrative Agent, upon Administrative Agent’s demand, in Dollars in immediately available funds, the amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of each such Administrative Agent Advance. If such funds are not made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such funds on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon for each day from the date such payment was due until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the rate applicable to the Loans.

(e) If Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party (any such Lender, Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under Section 9.11(b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice by Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof)), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 9.11(a) and held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent, and such Lender or Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter (or such later date as Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

9.10 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and Administrative Agent under Sections 2.7, 2.9, 10.2 and 10.3) allowed in such judicial proceeding;

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and

(c) and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Sections 2.7, 2.9, 10.2 and 10.3.

9.11 Erroneous Payments.

(a) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Secured Party or other Payment Recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment (a “Payment Notice”), (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then, in each such case:

(i) it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender, or Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one (1) Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.11(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 9.11(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 9.11(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(b) Each Lender or Secured Party hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Secured Party under any Credit Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by Administrative Agent to such Lender or Secured Party under any Credit Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).

(c) (i) In the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon Administrative Agent’s request to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to the Platform as to which Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to Borrower or Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender

hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under Section 9.7 and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) Administrative Agent and Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii) Subject to Section 10.6 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from Borrower or otherwise)), Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(d) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Credit Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Credit Parties’ Obligations under the Credit Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by Borrower or any other Credit Party; provided that this Section 9.11 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by Administrative Agent from Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

(e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine

(f) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the payment in full of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Credit Document.

9.12 Credit Bid. Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorizes Agents, on behalf of Lenders, to take any of the following actions upon the instruction of the Requisite Lenders:

(a) consent to the disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral free and clear of the Liens securing the Obligations in connection with any disposition pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 thereof;

(b) credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Section 363 thereof;

(c) credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to the applicable provisions of the UCC, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the UCC;

(d) credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations, or purchase all or any portion of the Collateral (in each case, either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles), in connection with any foreclosure or other disposition conducted in accordance with applicable law following the occurrence of an Event of Default, including by power of sale, judicial action or otherwise; and/or

(e) estimate the amount of any contingent or unliquidated Obligations of such Lender or other Secured Party.

Each Lender agrees that Agents are under no obligation to credit bid any part of the Obligations or to purchase or retain or acquire any portion of the Collateral; provided that, in connection with any credit bid or purchase described under clauses (b), (c) or (d) above, the Obligations owed to all of the Secured Parties (other than with respect to contingent or unliquidated liabilities as set forth in the next succeeding paragraph) may be, and shall be, credit bid by Agents on a ratable basis.

With respect to each contingent or unliquidated claim that is an Obligation, Agents are hereby authorized, but are not required, to estimate the amount thereof for purposes of any credit bid or purchase described above so long as the estimation of the amount or liquidation of such claim would not unduly delay the ability of Agents to credit bid the Obligations or purchase the Collateral in the relevant disposition. In the event that Agents, in their sole discretion, elects not to estimate any such contingent or unliquidated claim or any such claim cannot be estimated without unduly delaying the ability of Agents to consummate any credit bid or purchase in accordance with the above provisions, then any contingent or unliquidated claims not so estimated shall be disregarded, shall not be credit bid, and shall not be entitled to any interest in the portion or the entirety of the Collateral purchased by means of such credit bid.

In connection with any such credit bid (i) Agents shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles to make a bid, (ii) the Agents shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Agents with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or Capital Stock thereof shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by the vote of the Requisite Lenders, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Requisite Lenders contained in Section 10.5 of this Agreement), (iii) Agents shall be authorized to assign the relevant Obligations to any such acquisition vehicle pro rata by the Lenders, as a result of which each of the Lenders shall be deemed to have received a pro rata portion of any Capital Stock issued by such an acquisition vehicle on account of the assignment of the Obligations to be credit bid, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (iv) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of debt credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Lenders pro rata and the Capital Stock issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of the Obligations that had been assigned to the acquisition vehicle shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive Capital Stock issued by such acquisition vehicle) as Agents may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.

To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them. This Section 10.3(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against Lenders, Agents and their respective Related Parties, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the transmission of information through the Internet, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Credit Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon or assert any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(iv) waive or extend the time for payment of any such interest, fees or premiums (it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute an extension of any time for payment of interest, fees or premiums);

(v) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan;

(vi) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 2.11, Section 2.12(g), Section 2.13, this Section 10.5(b) or Section 10.5(c); provided that Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders may waive, in whole or in part, any prepayment so long as the application of any portion of such prepayment which is still required to be made is not altered;

(viii) (A) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents, (B) subordinate the Lien of Collateral Agent on all or substantially all of the Collateral securing the Obligations to the Liens securing any other Indebtedness of the Credit Parties or subordinate any Guaranty of the Guarantors, except in each case as expressly provided in the Credit Documents as in effect on the Closing Date, (C) subordinate all or any portion of the Obligations in right of payment to any other Indebtedness, or (D) change or have the effect of changing the priority or pro rata treatment of any payment (including voluntary and mandatory prepayment), Liens, proceeds of Collateral or reductions in Commitments (including as a result, in whole or in part, of allowing the issuance or incurrence, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, of new loans or other Indebtedness having any priority senior to any of the Obligations in respect of any payments, Liens, Collateral or proceeds of Collateral, in exchange for any Obligations or otherwise), except in each case as expressly provided in the Credit Documents as in effect on the Closing Date; or

(ix) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under any Credit Document.

(c) Other Consents. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Credit Documents, or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, shall:

(i) increase any Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender; provided that no amendment, modification or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to constitute an increase in any Commitment of any Lender; or

(ii) amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section 9 as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent.

(d) Consent of Administrative Agent and Borrower. With the consent of Borrower only, Administrative Agent may amend, modify or supplement this Agreement (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, modification or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender and (ii) to enter into additional or supplemental Collateral Documents.

(e) Defaulting Lenders; Events of Default. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (i) no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (A) the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (B) subject in all respects to Section 2.16, no amendment or waiver shall reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest on any Loan, in each case, owing to a Defaulting Lender, without the consent of such Defaulting Lender and (ii) this Agreement may be amended and restated without the consent of any Lender (but with the consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent) if, upon giving effect to such amendment and restatement, such Lender shall no longer be a party to this Agreement (as so amended and restated), the Commitments of such Lender shall have terminated (but such Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.11, Section 2.13, Section 2.14, Section 2.15, Section 10.2 and Section 10.3), such Lender shall have no other commitment or other obligation hereunder and shall have been paid in full all principal, interest and other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary, any Default or Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist (and shall be deemed to be continuing) until such time as such Default or Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.5 notwithstanding (x) any attempted cure or other action taken by Borrower or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default or (y) any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent or any Lender prior to or subsequent to the occurrence of such Default or Event of Default (other than the granting of a waiver in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.5).

(f) Execution of Amendments, etc. Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of such Lender. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 10.5 shall be binding upon each Agent, each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Credit Party, on such Credit Party.

10.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Borrower nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 10.6, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of clause (d) of this Section 10.6, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (e) of this Section 10.6 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective

successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in clause (d) of this Section 10.6 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to Approved Funds (determined after giving effect to such assignments) that equal at least the amount specified in Section 10.6(b)(i)(B) in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in Section 10.6(b)(i)(A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $1,000,000.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned (or as otherwise permitted by Administrative Agent).

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment, except that the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of any Loans to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(iv) Assignment Agreement. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500); provided that Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire, documentation required under Section 2.15(g) and any and all documentation and other information with respect to the assignee that is required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer,” Anti-Money Laundering Laws and other anti-money laundering regulations, including the Patriot Act.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Credit Party or to any Credit Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.6(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment Agreement (which for the avoidance of doubt shall be the date of recordation in the Register), the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 10.2 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with clause (d) of this Section 10.6.

(c) Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders 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 Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person, any Credit Party or any Credit Party’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 9.7 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may, at such Lender’s option, provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 10.5(b) and 10.5(c) that affects such Participant. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.14 and 2.15 subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.15 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.15(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.6(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.17 as if it were an assignee under Section 10.6(b); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14 or 2.15, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.13 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, 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 Commitment and/or the Loans or other obligations under the Credit 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 or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Proposed Treasury Regulations (or any amended or successor version). 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. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

10.7 Independence of Covenants, etc. All covenants, conditions and other terms hereunder and under the other Credit Documents shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, conditions or other terms, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant, condition or other term shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

10.8 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of the Loans. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the obligations of each Credit Party set forth in Sections 2.14, 2.15, 5.20, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.10 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections 2.13, 9.3(b) and 9.7 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the Credit Documents.

10.9 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay or course of dealing on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

10.10 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

10.11 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any Note or other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

10.12 Obligations Several; Actions in Concert. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. Anything in this

Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or any Note or otherwise with respect to the Obligations without first obtaining the prior written consent of Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders (as applicable), it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and any Note or otherwise with respect to the Obligations shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders (as applicable).

10.13 Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

10.14 Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) THEREOF.

10.15 Consent To Jurisdiction.

10.16 Waiver Of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION OR THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED.

EACH PARTY

HERETO FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT IT HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 10.16 AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO), AND THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS HERETO OR ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOANS MADE HEREUNDER. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

10.17 Confidentiality. Each Agent and Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such by Borrower and obtained by such Agent or Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Agent’s or Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by each Credit Party that, in any event, an Agent or a Lender may make (i) disclosures of such information to Affiliates or Related Parties of each Lender and Agent and to their respective current and prospective equity holders (including without limitation, partners) and Related Parties (and to other persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section 10.17), (ii) disclosures of such information reasonably required by (A) any pledgee referred to in Section 10.6(e), (B) any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender of any Commitments and/or Loans or any participations therein or (C) any direct or indirect investor or prospective investor in an Related Parties, (iii) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it; provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall be instructed to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties received by it from any Agent or any Lender, (iv) disclosure to any Lender’s financing sources; provided that prior to any disclosure, such financing source is informed of the confidential nature of the information, (v) in connection with any litigation or dispute (including with respect to the exercise of remedies) which relates to this Agreement or any other Credit Document to which any Agent or any Lender is a party or is otherwise subject and (vi) disclosures required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the NAIC) purporting to have authority over such Person or its Affiliates, respective current and prospective equity holders (including without limitation, partners) and Related Parties of such Person and of such Person’s Affiliates or pursuant to legal or judicial process or other legal proceeding; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall make reasonable efforts to notify Borrower of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. In addition, Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents, and the Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, each party hereto (and each of their respective employees, representatives or other agents) may disclose to any and all persons without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to any such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. However, any information relating to the tax treatment or tax structure shall remain subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof. For this purpose, “tax structure” means any facts relevant to the federal income tax treatment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement but does not include information relating to the identity of any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or after the Closing Date, Administrative Agent or any Lender may, at its own expense issue news releases and publish “tombstone” advertisements and other announcements relating to this transaction in newspapers, trade journals and other appropriate media (which may include use of logos of one or more of the Credit Parties) (collectively, “Trade Announcements”). No Credit Party shall issue any Trade Announcement except disclosures required by applicable law, regulation, legal process or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission; provided that Borrower shall have provided Administrative Agent a

reasonable opportunity and in any event not less than three (3) Business Days to review any such disclosures and shall revise and/or redact such disclosure as Administrative Agent may request so long as such revisions and/or redactions comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process or rules.

10.18 Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders and Agents, as applicable, an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrower to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

10.19 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile, emailed .pdf or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

10.20 Effectiveness; Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Subject to Section 3.1, this Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by Borrower and Administrative Agent of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof. This Agreement and the other Credit Documents represent the entire agreement of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries, Agents and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by any Agent or Lender relative to the subject matter hereof or thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Credit Documents. Nothing in this Agreement or in the other Credit Documents, express or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and thereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereunder and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Affiliates of each of Agents and Lenders, holders of participations in all or any part of a Lender’s Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligations, and the Indemnitees) any rights, remedies, obligations, claims or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Credit Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of any Agent or Lender in any other Credit Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement.

10.21 Patriot Act. Each Lender and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

10.22 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Credit Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Credit Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(b) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in this Agreement or any other Credit Document shall in each case be deemed to include electronic signatures, electronic deliveries, signatures exchanged by electronic transmission, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act; provided that Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent may request, and upon any such request the Credit Parties shall be obligated to provide, manually executed “wet ink” signatures to any Credit Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Credit Party hereby (i) agrees that, for all purposes, including in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Agents, the other Secured Parties and the Credit Parties, electronic images of this Agreement or any other Credit Documents (in each case, including with respect to any signature pages thereto) shall have the same

legal effect, validity and enforceability as any paper original, and (ii) waives any argument, defense or right to contest the validity or enforceability of the Credit Documents based solely on the lack of paper original copies of any Credit Documents, including with respect to any signature pages thereto.

10.26 No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this Section 10.26, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Credit Parties, their equity holders and/or their affiliates. Each Credit Party agrees that nothing in the Credit Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Credit Party, its equity holders or its affiliates, on the other. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Credit Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Credit Party, its equity holders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Credit Party, its equity holders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Credit Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Credit Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Credit Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Credit Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Credit Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

d. Fourth Milestone Adjustments. Subject to Section 2(e) below, the Applicable Percentage shall be increased by [*] percent ([*]%) for each failure to achieve any Fourth Milestone Component, in each case on the Fourth Milestone Test Date, subject to a maximum increase of four percent (4%) for the failure to achieve Fourth Milestone Components; provided, that upon the achievement of any Fourth Milestone Component (in its entirety, not including fractional achievement), if, from and after the Closing Date through and including the Fourth Milestone Test Date, none of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has received any Net Cash Proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness (other than the Term Loans, any Revolving Loans or any Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.1(i) or (j)) or the issuance of any Capital Stock, then any increase to the Applicable Percentage previously made pursuant to any of Sections 2(a), (b) and (c) above due to the failure to achieve any Milestone Component of the same category (e.g., automation) shall be of no further force and effect as of the Fourth Milestone Test Date, and as a result the cumulative increase of the Applicable Percentage due to the prior failure to achieve any Milestone Component of such category shall be reduced to [*]. By way of example, the failure to achieve any of Automation Milestone 1, Automation Milestone 2 or Automation Milestone 3, followed by the achievement of Automation Milestone 4, would result in a cumulative adjustment to the Applicable Percentage of [*] with respect to the automation category of Milestones (so long as from and after the Closing Date through and including the Fourth Milestone Test Date, none of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries has received any Net Cash Proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness (other than the Term Loans, any Revolving Loans or any Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.1(i) or (j)) or the issuance of any Capital Stock). In the foregoing example, any adjustments to the Applicable Percentage prior to the Fourth Milestone would remain in effect, notwithstanding the achievement of any Fourth Milestone Component, if after the Closing Date through and including the Fourth Milestone Test Date, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries received any Net Cash Proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness (other than the Term Loans, any Revolving Loans or any Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.1(i) or (j)) or the issuance of any Capital Stock. In the event of any decrease to the Applicable Percentage as a result of the achievement of any Fourth Milestone Component such that the Equity Instruments held by Lenders or their assignees or designees, as applicable, exceed the Equity Instruments required in order to satisfy the Equity Instruments Coverage Condition, such Lender, assignee or designee holding any Equity Instruments shall promptly, upon request, cooperate with Borrower to amend, forfeit or return such Equity Instruments as necessary to give effect to such decrease.

e. Fractional Adjustments. In the case of any Milestone Component that has more than one sub-component, if such Milestone Component has not been achieved but one or more of such sub-components have been achieved, then the total increase to the Applicable Percentage with respect to such Milestone Component shall be equal to [*] percent ([*]%) multiplied by a fraction where (x) the numerator is the number of sub-components of such Milestone Components that were not achieved and (y) the denominator is the total number of sub-components of such Milestone Component.

3. Milestone Certificates. The achievement of all Milestones and Milestone Components set forth herein shall be evidenced by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a certificate of an Authorized Officer in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion that certifies achievement or failure of such Milestone and/or Milestone Components and attaching such as the Administrative Agent may request in its sole discretion demonstrating such achievement or failure of such Milestone and/or Milestone Components. The failure to deliver such certificate on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after the applicable Test Date shall be deemed to constitute a failure to achieve each Milestone and/or Milestone Components to which such Test Date is applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties understand and agree that achievement or failure of certain Milestone Components may require evaluation of results to verify satisfaction of the criteria thereof. Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, extend or otherwise stay any termination of Commitments pending further determination of whether any such Milestone Component has been satisfied or failed. Upon determination by Agent in its sole discretion that any such Milestone Component has been satisfied after the occurrence of the applicable Test Date or the date on which such certificate is required, such Milestone Component shall be deemed to have been satisfied as of the applicable Test Date. Any Applicable

Percentage increase resulting from the failure to achieve any Milestone Component shall be deemed to have occurred immediately and automatically upon (i) delivery of the certificate or (ii) upon the failure to deliver such certificate on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after the applicable Test Date.

Other than as expressly disclosed in the SEC Reports filed at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date hereof, there has been no material change in the Company’s accounting methods or principles that would be required to be disclosed in the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP. There are no financial statements (historical or pro forma) that are required to be included in the SEC Reports that are not so included as required. The interactive data in extensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the SEC Reports fairly present the information called for in all material respects and have been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto. Except as set forth in the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports filed at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date hereof, the Company has not incurred any liabilities, contingent or otherwise, except those incurred in the ordinary course of business, consistent (as to amount and nature) with past practices since the date of such financial statements, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, have had or would reasonably be expected to be material to the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The books of account and other financial records of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries are true and complete in all material respects.

(h) Independent Accountants. Deloitte & Touche LLP, who have certified certain financial statements of the Company and delivered their report with respect to the audited financial statements included in the SEC Reports, have at all times since the date of enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act been (i) a registered public accounting firm (as defined in Section 2(a)(12) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), (ii) to the Company’s Knowledge, “independent” with respect to the Company within the meaning of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act and (iii) to the Company’s Knowledge, in compliance with subsections (g) through (l) of Section 10A of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Commission and the Public Accounting Oversight Board thereunder.

(i) Compliance with Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and orders of, and all applicable restrictions imposed by, all Governmental Authorities in respect of the conduct of its business and the ownership of its assets and property, except, in each case, for violations or possible violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company is not in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of the Principal Trading Market and, to the Company’s Knowledge, there exist no facts or circumstances that would reasonably lead to delisting or suspension of the Common Stock by the Principal Trading Market in the foreseeable future.

(j) Insurance. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries are insured by recognized, financially sound and reputable institutions with policies in such amounts and with such deductibles and covering such risks as are generally deemed adequate and customary for their businesses including, but not limited to, policies covering real and personal property owned or leased by the Company and its Subsidiaries against theft, damage, destruction, acts of vandalism and earthquakes and policies covering the Company and its Subsidiaries for product liability claims and clinical trial liability claims. The Company has no reason to believe that it or any of its Subsidiaries will not be able to (i) renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such policies expire or (ii) obtain comparable coverage from similar institutions as may be necessary or appropriate to conduct its business as now conducted and at a cost that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Since December 31, 2021, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been denied any insurance coverage which it has sought or for which it has applied.

(k) Transactions with Affiliates and Employees. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, since the date of the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Commission on April 2, 2024, no event has occurred that would be required to be reported by the Company pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

(l) Company’s Accounting System. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries makes and keeps accurate books and records and maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance that: (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences, except as would not, individually or the in aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Since January 1, 2022, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary nor, to the Company’s Knowledge, any director, officer, employee, auditor, accountant or representative of the Company or any Subsidiary has received or otherwise had or obtained knowledge of any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim, whether written or oral, regarding the accounting or auditing practices, procedures, methodologies or methods of the Company or any Subsidiary or their respective internal accounting controls, including any material complaint, allegation, assertion or claim that the Company or any Subsidiary has engaged in questionable accounting or auditing practices.

(m) Sarbanes-Oxley; Disclosure Controls. The Company is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls designed to ensure that (i) material information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities and (ii) that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files, furnishes or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the

Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Except as set forth in the SEC Reports, the Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company has established internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (collectively, “internal controls”) as of the end of the period covered by the most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of such internal controls based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or, to the Company’s Knowledge, in other factors that could materially affect the Company’s internal controls and there have been no material weaknesses in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated). The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP and the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act.

(n) Certain Fees. No Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Company or a Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of the Company. The Purchaser shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section 3.1(n) that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company shall indemnify, pay, and hold the Purchaser harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such right, interest or claim.

(o) Private Placement. The issuance and sale of the Securities hereunder (including, subject to the Company obtaining Requisite Stockholder Approval, the issuance of Conversion Shares upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock and the issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants) does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Principal Trading Market.

(p) Investment Company Status. The Company has never been, is not, and will not be, immediately after receipt of payment for the Preferred Stock and Warrants, required to register as an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(q) Registration Rights. Other than registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights, any piggy back rights that will be honored in connection with the Registration Rights or as set forth in the SEC Reports, no Person has any right to cause the Company to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the offer and sale of any securities of the Company other than those offers and sales which are currently registered on an effective registration statement on file with the Commission.

(r) Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Company’s Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to terminate the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act, nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission or the Principal Trading Market is contemplating terminating such registration or listing. Except as otherwise publicly disclosed, the Company is, and immediately following the Closing will be, in compliance with all applicable listing requirements of the Principal Trading Market. The Company has filed with the Principal Trading Market a Listing of Additional Shares Notification covering the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares and has not received any written objection from the Principal Trading Market with respect to such notification with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(s) No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, none of the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any of its Affiliates or any Person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the past six (6) months, made any offers or sales of any Company security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under the Securities Act, including Regulation D, in connection with the offer and sale by

the Company of the Preferred Stock and Warrants as contemplated hereby or (ii) cause the offering of the Preferred Stock and Warrants pursuant to the Transaction Documents to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable law, regulation or stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.

(t) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on behalf of the Company has, directly or indirectly, offered or sold any of the Securities, or solicited any offers to buy any Securities, under any circumstances that would require registration under the Securities Act of the Securities, including by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.

(u) Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company (or any Subsidiary) and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in SEC Reports and is not so disclosed and would have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(v) Acknowledgment Regarding Purchaser’s Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company further acknowledges that no Purchaser is acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and any advice given by a Purchaser or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Purchaser’s purchase of the Preferred Stock and Warrants. The Company further represents to the Purchaser that the Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives. Furthermore, it is understood and acknowledged by the Company that: (i) none of the Purchaser have been asked by the Company to agree, nor has any Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specific term; (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions made before or after the closing of the transactions contemplated hereunder or future private placement transactions may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities; and (iii) the Purchaser shall not be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counterparty in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further understands and acknowledges that, (a) the Purchaser may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding and (b) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

(w) No Price Stabilization or Manipulation; Compliance with Regulation M. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that might cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities or otherwise, and has taken no action which would directly or indirectly violate Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

(x) No Additional Agreements. The Company does not have any agreement or understanding (including side letters) with any Purchaser with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents other than as specified in the Transaction Documents.

(y) No Disqualification Events. No “bad actor” disqualifying event described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i)-(viii) of the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”) is applicable to the Company or, to the Company’s Knowledge, any Company Covered Person (as defined below), except for a Disqualification Event as to which Rule 506(d)(2)(ii)-(iv) or (d)(3), is applicable. “Company Covered Person” means, with respect to the Company as an “issuer” for purposes of Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act, any person listed in the first paragraph of Rule 506(d)(1). The Company is not aware of any Person (other than any Company Covered Person) that has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with the sale of the Securities or the Conversion Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby, for itself and for no other Purchaser, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

(a) Organization; Authority. Such Purchaser is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its organization with the requisite corporate or, if such Purchaser is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Purchaser and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or, if such Purchaser is not a corporation, such partnership, limited liability company or other applicable like action, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, examinership, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

(b) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Purchaser of this Agreement and the Registration Rights and the consummation by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Purchaser, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Purchaser is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any Law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including U.S. federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Purchaser, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder.

(c) Investment Intent. Such Purchaser understands that the Preferred Stock and Warrants are (and the Warrant Shares and Conversion Shares will be) “restricted securities” and the offer and sale thereof have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable U.S. state securities law and is acquiring the Preferred Stock and Warrants as principal for its own account and not with a view to, or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable U.S. state or other securities laws, provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum period of time and reserves the right, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights, at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable U.S. federal, state and other securities laws. Such Purchaser is acquiring the Preferred Stock and Warrants hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.

Such Purchaser does not presently have any agreement, plan or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute or effect any distribution of any of the Securities (or any securities which are derivatives thereof) to or through any person or entity in violation of federal securities law; such Purchaser is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered as a broker-dealer.

(d) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Preferred Stock and Warrants, it was, at the date hereof it is, and at the date of any exercise of the Warrants for cash it will be, (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and (ii) an “institutional account” as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c) or a type of Person otherwise specified in FINRA Rule 5123(b).

(e) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Preferred Stock and Warrants as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or any other general advertisement. The purchase of the Preferred Stock and Warrants by such Purchaser has not been solicited by or through anyone other than the Company.

(f) Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Preferred Stock and Warrants, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Preferred Stock and Warrants.

(g) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Preferred Stock and Warrants and the merits and risks of investing in the Preferred Stock and Warrants; (ii) access to information about the Company and the Subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is requested in order to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the SEC Reports and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Documents. Such Purchaser has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed decision with respect to its acquisition of the Preferred Stock and Warrants.

(h) Brokers and Finders. No Person will have, as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any valid right, interest or claim against or upon the Purchaser for any commission, fee or other compensation pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by or on behalf of the Purchaser. No Purchaser shall have any obligation with respect to any fees, or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees, in each case of the type contemplated by this Section 3.2(h) that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.

(i) Independent Investment Decision. Such Purchaser has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase Preferred Stock and Warrants pursuant to the Transaction Documents, and such Purchaser confirms that it has not relied on the advice of any other Purchaser’s business and/or legal counsel in making such decision. Such Purchaser understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Purchaser in connection with the purchase of the Preferred Stock and Warrants constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Such Purchaser has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Preferred Stock and Warrants.

(j) Reliance on Exemptions. Such Purchaser understands that the Preferred Stock and Warrants are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgements and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Purchaser to acquire the Preferred Stock and Warrants.

(k) No Governmental Review. Such Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Preferred Stock and Warrants or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Preferred Stock and Warrants nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Preferred Stock and Warrants.

The Company and the Purchaser each acknowledges and agrees that no party to this Agreement has made or makes any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in this Article 3 and the Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE 4

OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, the Purchaser covenants that the Securities may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement under, and in compliance with the requirements of, the Securities Act, or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction

not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in compliance with any applicable U.S. state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of the Securities other than (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement, (ii) to the Company, (iii) pursuant to Rule 144, or (iv) in connection with a bona fide pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act and, as a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and the Registration Rights and shall have the rights of a Purchaser under this Agreement and the Registration Rights with respect to such transferred Securities.

(b) Legends. Certificates and book-entry statements evidencing the Securities and any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” Laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (“SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. ACCORDINGLY, THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

A Purchaser may request that the Company remove, and, to the extent the Purchaser delivers to the Company or its Transfer Agent its legended certificate representing such Securities (or a request for legend removal, in the case of Securities issued in book-entry form), the Company agrees to cause the removal of, any legend from such Securities: (i) if there is an effective registration statement covering the resale of such Securities (the date of effectiveness thereof, the “Registration Statement Effective Date”), (ii) if such Securities are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations permitted to be removed in accordance with pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC), in each case of the foregoing, provided that any contractual lock-up period applicable to such Purchaser’s Securities (if any) has expired (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”). If a legend removal request is made pursuant to the foregoing, the Company will, no later than the Standard Settlement Period following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s Transfer Agent of a legended certificate representing such Securities (or a request for legend removal, in the case of Securities issued in book-entry form) together with any reasonable and customary representation letter(s) requested by the Company or its legal counsel (the “Unlegended Share Delivery Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive legends, or an equivalent book-entry position, as requested by the Purchaser. In the event that Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares are issued upon conversion or exercise, as applicable, after the Registration Statement Effective Date, the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares shall be issued without restrictive legends. Without limiting the foregoing, either (a) upon request of the Purchaser or (b) as contemplated by the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions, the Company shall reasonably promptly cause a restrictive legend to be removed from any certificate or book-entry statement for any Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and deliver, or cause to be delivered, to any Purchaser new certificate(s) or book entry statement(s) representing the Securities that are free from all restrictive and other legends or, at the request of such Purchaser, via DWAC (as defined below) transfer to such Purchaser’s account. If so requested by a Purchaser, Securities free from all restrictive legends shall be transmitted by the Company’s Transfer Agent to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through DTC’s Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”), as directed by such Purchaser. The Company warrants that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. If a Purchaser effects a transfer of the Securities in accordance with this Section 4.1(b), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates or credit the Securities to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Purchaser to effect such transfer. Without limiting the obligations of the Company pursuant to the foregoing, if required by the Transfer Agent, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a blanket legal opinion

to its Transfer Agent promptly after the Registration Statement Effective Date, or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions has been met, to effect the removal of any legends hereunder. If the Company shall fail to issue to any Purchaser (other than a failure caused by incorrect, incomplete or untimely information provided by the Purchaser to the Company or its Transfer Agent), by the applicable Unlegended Share Delivery Date, a certificate, or a book-entry statement, as applicable, representing such Securities without restrictive legend or to issue such Securities to such Purchaser without restrictive legend through DWAC to the applicable balance account at DTC, as applicable, and after the Unlegended Share Delivery Date such Purchaser is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases the Securities to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of the Securities which such Purchaser anticipated receiving without restrictive legend (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay in cash to such Purchaser the amount by which (if any) (X) such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Securities so purchased in the Buy-In exceeds (Y) the amount obtained by multiplying (I) the number of shares of the Securities that the Company was required to deliver without restrictive legend to such Purchaser on the Unlegended Share Delivery Date multiplied by (II) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed. Nothing herein shall limit any Purchaser’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder or under the Registration Rights, or otherwise at law or in equity, including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver the Securities without restrictive legend as required pursuant to the terms hereof. The Purchaser hereby agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that such Purchaser will only sell any such Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or an exemption therefrom. Any fees (with respect to the Company’s Transfer Agent, Company counsel or otherwise) associated with the issuance of any required opinion or the removal of such legend shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall not be responsible for any fees incurred by the Purchaser in connection with the delivery of such unlegended Securities.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge, and/or grant a security interest in, some or all of the legended Securities in connection with applicable securities laws, pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement in compliance with a bona fide margin loan. Such a pledge would not be subject to approval or consent of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel to the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection with the pledge, but such legal opinion shall be required in connection with a subsequent transfer or foreclosure following default by the Purchaser transferee of the pledge. No notice shall be required of such pledge, but Purchaser’s transferee shall promptly notify the Company of any such subsequent transfer or foreclosure. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company shall not be responsible for any pledges relating to, or the grant of any security interest in, any of the Securities or for any agreement, understanding or arrangement between any Purchaser and its pledgee or secured party. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities, including the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) of the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders thereunder. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(c), any Securities subject to a pledge or security interest as contemplated by this Section 4.1(b) shall continue to bear the legend set forth in this Section 4.1(b) and be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth herein.

(c) Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 4.1(c) (or instructions that are consistent therewith) will be given by the Company to its Transfer Agent in connection with this Agreement, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and applicable law. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 4.1(c) will cause irreparable harm to a Purchaser. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 4.1(c) may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 4.1(c) that a Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing irreparable harm or economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

(d) Lock-up Restriction.

(i) The Purchaser agrees it shall not Transfer any Securities issued hereby until one year following the Initial Closing Date (the “Lock-up Restriction”). For a period of one year following the Initial Closing Date, certificates and book-entry statements evidencing the Securities and any Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares shall bear the following restrictive legend:

THE SECURITIES REPRSENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANFSER UNDER THAT CERTAIN SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF June 21, 2024, BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE PURCHASER NAMED ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES THERETO.

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions set forth in paragraph 4(d)(i), the Lock-up Restriction shall not apply to transfers of Securities (a) to the officers or directors of the Purchaser or its affiliates, any affiliate of the Purchaser or entity under common control, any family member of any of the Purchaser’s or its affiliates’ officers or directors, any members or partners of the Purchaser or their affiliates, or any employees of such affiliates; (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of one of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (c) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (e) by virtue of the Purchaser’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of the Purchaser or pursuant to a distribution by the Purchaser; (f) to the Company for no value for cancellation; (g) in the event of the Company’s liquidation; (h) in the event of completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction by the Company in which shareholders generally have a right to exchange shares that results in a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (i) in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Credit Agreement); provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (d) these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions.

4.2 Furnishing of Information. In order to enable the Purchaser to sell the Securities under Rule 144, until such time as Purchaser may sell the Securities without limitation under Rule 144, the Company shall timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act and, if during such period, the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Purchaser and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for the Purchaser to sell the Securities under Rule 144.

4.3 Integration. The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Preferred Stock and Warrants in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Preferred Stock, the Warrants to the Purchaser or that will be integrated with the offer or sale of the Preferred Stock and Warrants for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

4.4 Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement or Law (including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law) (a “Shareholder Rights Plan”) in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, in either case solely by virtue of receiving Preferred Stock and Warrants under the Transaction Documents, and no such Shareholder Rights Plan is currently in effect.

4.5 Non-Public Information. If at any time the Purchaser has not designated a director or a board observer to the Board of Directors pursuant to its rights to do so as set forth in the Certificate of Designations, then except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, including this Agreement, or as expressly required by any applicable securities law, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf including its representatives, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents, will provide the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s Affiliates, representatives, agents or counsel with any information regarding the Company or any Subsidiary that constitutes, or that the Company

reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information without the express written (email being sufficient) consent of the Purchaser, unless prior thereto the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser’s Affiliates, attorneys, agents or representatives shall have previously consented in writing to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential until such time as such information is publicly disclosed or such time as set forth in such written agreement. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information to the Purchaser without the Purchaser’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality or trust to the Company or any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company or any of its officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, not to trade while aware of such material non-public information. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company understands and confirms that the Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

4.6 Principal Trading Market Listing. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all steps necessary to cause the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares to be approved for listing on the Principal Trading Market as promptly as possible.

4.7 Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Certificate of Designation or the Warrants, the Company shall not effect any conversion of any share of Preferred Stock or any exercise of any Warrant, and a Purchaser shall not have the right to convert any portion of its Preferred Stock or exercise any portion of its Warrant, to the extent that, after giving effect to such attempted conversion set forth on an applicable Notice of Conversion (as defined in the Certificate of Designation) with respect to the Preferred Stock or such attempted exercise set forth on an applicable Notice of Exercise (as defined in the Warrant), as the case may be, such Purchaser (or any of such Purchaser’s Affiliates or any other Person who would be a beneficial owner of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, including any “group” of which the Purchaser is a member (the foregoing, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Purchaser and its Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant subject to the Notice of Exercise or conversion of Preferred Stock subject to the Notice of Conversion or the automatic conversion, as applicable, with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Purchaser or any of its Attribution Parties, (ii) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of the Warrants beneficially owned by such Purchaser or any of its Attribution Parties and (iii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by such Purchaser or any of its Attribution Parties that are subject to and would exceed a limitation on conversion or exercise similar to the limitation contained herein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 4.7, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and the terms “beneficial ownership” and “beneficially own” have the meanings ascribed to such terms therein. In addition, for purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission. For purposes of this Section 4.7, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Purchaser may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (a) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (b) a more recent public announcement by the Company that is filed with the Commission, or (c) a more recent notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent to the Purchaser setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon the written request of a Purchaser (which may be by e-mail), the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days of such request, confirm in writing to such Purchaser (which may be by e-mail) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any actual conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants, by such Purchaser or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported or confirmed to the Purchaser. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” (y) shall initially be set at the discretion of the Purchaser to a percentage between 0% and 19.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding

or deemed to be outstanding as of the Initial Closing Date, and (z) following receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, shall be set at the discretion of the Purchaser to a percentage between 0% and 49.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or deemed to be outstanding as of the applicable measurement date. The Company shall be entitled to rely on representations made to it by any Purchaser in any Notice of Conversion regarding its Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by written notice to the Company, upon receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, any Purchaser may amend the Beneficial Ownership Limitation percentage with respect to such Purchaser to any percentage that is lower than or equal to 49.9%. The provisions of this Section 4.7 shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Securities in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Purchaser for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act.

4.8 Requisite Stockholder Approval. The Company shall take all action necessary under applicable law to call, give notice of and hold a special meeting of stockholders (a “Stockholder Meeting”) within 90 days from the Initial Closing (the “Stockholder Meeting Deadline”) for the purpose of obtaining stockholder approval of the Transactions (the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such resolution and to cause the Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such resolution.

4.9 Conversion and Exercise Procedures. The form of Notice of Conversion included in any Series B Certificate of Designation and the form of Notice of Exercise included in the Warrants set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchaser in order to convert the Series B Preferred Stock or to exercise the Warrants. No additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Purchaser to convert their Series B Preferred Stock or to exercise their Warrants. Without limiting the preceding sentence, no ink-original Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise form be required in order for the registered holder thereof to convert or exercise the Series B Preferred Stock or Warrants. The Company shall honor conversions of the Series B Preferred Stock and exercises of the Warrants and shall deliver Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Transaction Documents.

4.10 Indemnification of Purchaser. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.10, the Company will indemnify and hold the Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, investment advisers and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls such Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners, investment advisers or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “Purchaser Party”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (i) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents or (ii) any Action instituted against a Purchaser in any capacity, or any Purchaser Party, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of such Purchaser seeking indemnification, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such Action is based upon a breach of such Purchaser’s representations, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents). Promptly after receipt by any such Person (the “Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances that would or may give rise to a claim or the commencement of any Proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 4.10, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses relating to such Proceeding or investigation; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to notify. In any such Proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel; provided, that the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (a) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (b) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person in such Proceeding; or

(c) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. In the event of the circumstances described in the foregoing clause (c), if the Indemnified Person notifies the Company in writing that such Indemnified Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, then the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Indemnified Person. The Company shall not be liable for any (x) settlement of any Proceeding effected without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned or (y) to the extent fees or costs incurred pursuant to this Section 4.10 are attributable to the Indemnified Person’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Purchaser in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or any violations by such Purchaser Party of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by such Purchaser Party which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Proceeding and does not include any admission to fault. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Indemnified Person against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

4.11 Subsequent Equity Sales.

(a) From the date hereof until the one year anniversary of the Initial Closing Date, neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.11(a) shall not apply during any period in which the Purchaser has failed to fund a Delayed Draw Term Loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement), irrespective of whether the applicable Milestone (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with respect thereto has been achieved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.11(a) shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.

(b) From the date hereof until the date that is the earlier of nine (9) months after the Initial Closing Date and the date that no Securities are outstanding, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction. For purposes hereof, “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company (i) issues or sells any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock, or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price (but not including an “at-the-market” offering).

4.12 Registration Rights. The Company and the Purchaser agree to be bound by the Registration Rights set forth on Annex A, the term of which are incorporated by reference herein.

6.4 Amendments; Waivers; No Additional Consideration. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company and the Purchaser.

6.5 Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents. As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

6.6 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by the Company without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. Any Purchaser may assign its rights hereunder in whole or in part to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Preferred Stock or Warrants in compliance with the Transaction Documents and applicable law, provided such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Preferred Stock or Warrants, by the terms and conditions of this Agreement that apply to the Purchaser.

6.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

6.8 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all Proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the New York Courts. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such New York Court, or that such Proceeding has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such Proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

6.9 Survival. Subject to applicable statute of limitations, the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Initial Closing and the delivery of the Preferred Stock and Warrants.

6.10 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, or by any electronic signature complying with the U.S. ESIGN Act of 2000 or the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act, such signature shall create a legally valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

6.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

6.12 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights; provided, however, that, in the case of a rescission of an exercise of Warrants, the applicable Purchaser shall be required to return any Warrant Shares subject to any such rescinded exercise notice concurrently with the return to such Purchaser of the aggregate exercise price paid to the Company for such Warrant Shares and the restoration of such Purchaser’s right to acquire such Warrant Shares pursuant to such Purchaser’s Warrant (including, issuance of a replacement warrant certificate evidencing such restored right).

6.13 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company may issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Transfer Agent of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Transfer Agent for any losses in connection therewith or, if required by the Transfer Agent, a bond in such form and amount as is required by the Transfer Agent. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities. If a replacement certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is requested due to a mutilation thereof, the Company may require delivery of such mutilated certificate or instrument as a condition precedent to any issuance of a replacement.

6.14 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by Law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchaser and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents, without the requirement of posting a bond. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for a temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

6.15 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any Law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

6.16 Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in shares of Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly shares of Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, each reference in any Transaction Document to a number of shares or a price per share shall be deemed to be amended to appropriately account for such event.

6.17 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and issuance of the Preferred Stock and Warrants abandoned at any time at the sole discretion of the Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, no such abandonment shall release Purchaser from any obligations under any other Transaction Document. Nothing in this Section 6.17 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or to impair the right of any party to compel specific performance by any other party of its obligations under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

6.18 Arm’s Length Transaction. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the transactions described in this Agreement are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the parties, (ii) the Purchaser have not assumed nor will they assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in the Company’s favor with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the process leading thereto, and the Purchaser have no obligation to the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except those obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to which they are a party, and (iii) the Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives.

6.19 No Use of Names. Except as otherwise required by applicable law or regulation, the Company shall not use the Purchaser’ names or the name of any of their Affiliates in any advertisement, announcement, press release or other similar public communication unless it has received the prior written consent of the applicable Purchaser for the specific use contemplated. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.19 shall not prevent the Company from making disclosures concerning the Transaction Documents in filings made with the Commission.

6.20 Tax Treatment. For so long as any Securities issued to Purchaser or any shares of Common Stock issued and delivered to Purchaser upon conversion of such Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall be classified as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code. The Company and the Purchaser intend and agree that: (i) the Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the Subsequent Series A Preferred Stock, and the Series B Preferred Stock shall be treated as stock that is not preferred stock for U.S. federal and applicable state income tax purposes, including Section 305 of the Code, (ii) the Company shall not report on IRS Form 1099-DIV (or any applicable successor or substitute form) any amount, including accrued but unpaid dividends, as a dividend paid in respect of such Preferred Stock unless and until such amount is paid to Purchaser in cash, (iii) each of the conversion of Series A Preferred Stock into Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to the Series A Certificate of Designation and the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock pursuant to the Series B Certificate of Designation shall constitute a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code or an exchange under Section 1036 of the Code, and (iv) solely for U.S. federal and applicable state income tax purposes, ownership of the Warrants shall be treated as ownership of the underlying Warrant Shares. The Company and Purchaser shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, report all income tax matters with respect to the Securities consistent with the U.S. federal income tax treatment provided for by this Section 6.20, and shall not take any action or file any Tax return, report or declaration inconsistent therewith, unless otherwise required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.

ANNEX A

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Capitalized terms used in this Annex A shall have the meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined in the body of this Annex A.

(a) No later than the date that is sixty (60) days prior to the date of the expiration of the Lock-Up Restriction, the Company shall submit to or file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of the Conversion Shares, the Warrant Shares, and any securities issued or issuable with respect to the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares by way of a stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off, reclassification or other reorganization or similar transaction (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares issued pursuant to any Subsequent Closings) (the “Registrable Securities”) (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such filing) on any form of registration statement (a “Registration Statement”) as is then available to effect a registration for resale of such Registrable Securities, which may be on Form S-1, for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by the Purchaser(s) (or a bona fide pledgee thereof) of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Purchaser (or bona fide pledgee thereof) (the “Initial Registration Statement”). The Purchaser shall not be named as an underwriter on any Registration Statement, provided, that if the SEC requires that the Purchaser be identified as a statutory underwriter in a Registration Statement, the Purchaser will have the option, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (i) withdraw from the Registration Statement, it being understood that such withdrawal shall not relieve the Company of its obligation to register for resale such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities at a later date or (ii) be included as such in the Registration Statement. In the event that a Purchaser elects to include its Registrable Securities on a Registration Statement in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii), the Company shall provide such Purchaser with a draft of such Registration Statement (and any amendments or supplements thereto) as soon as reasonably practicable, and any disclosures contained therein relating to such Purchaser shall be subject to the approval of such Purchaser (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Such Registrable Securities will cease to become Registrable Securities upon the earliest to occur of: (A) a Registration Statement with respect to the sale of such securities shall have become effective under the Securities Act and all Registrable Securities held by the Purchaser shall have been sold, transferred, disposed of or exchanged in accordance with such Registration Statement by the applicable Purchaser; (B) such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding; (C) such securities may be sold without restriction on volume or manner of sale in any three-month period pursuant to Rule 144 or any successor rule promulgated under the Securities Act; and (D) all Registrable Securities held by the Purchaser have been sold to, or through, a broker, dealer or underwriter in a public distribution or other public securities transaction.

(b) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following the filing date thereof if the SEC notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement and (ii) the tenth (10th) business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. The Company shall notify the Purchasers as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective and shall simultaneously or prior thereto file with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) promulgated under the Securities Act, and provide the Purchasers with copies of, any related prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby (each, a “Prospectus”). The Registration Statement shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Purchaser to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement, and shall provide that such Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Purchasers.

(c) The Company shall maintain the Initial Registration Statement and any subsequent Registration Statement in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep the Initial Registration Statement and any subsequent Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit the Purchasers named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities (the “Effectiveness Period”).

(d) In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall:

i. provide copies to, and permit the Purchaser to review, the Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto not less than two (2) business days prior to the filing of the Registration Statement and not less than one (1) business day prior to the filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (except any amendment or supplement in relation to annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K and any similar or successor reports) and provide the Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon, and the Company shall consider such comments in good faith before filing any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto;

ii. use commercially reasonable efforts to (x) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and (y) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order as soon as practicable;

iii. prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Purchaser and its counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for the offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions upon notice and as requested by the Purchaser and do any and all other commercially reasonable acts or things necessary or advisable as requested by the Purchaser to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this provision; (ii) subject itself to general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject but for this provision; or (iii) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

iv. use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each national securities exchange or other market on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

v. provide a transfer agent or warrant agent, if any, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

vi. promptly notify the Purchaser at any time prior to the end of the Effectiveness Period, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact required to be stated in a Registration Statement or Prospectus or necessary to make the statements in a Registration Statement or Prospectus (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading (a “Misstatement”), which the Purchaser will maintain in confidence, and (i) promptly prepare, file with the SEC and furnish to such Purchaser a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that such Prospectus shall not include such Misstatement or (ii) suspend the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of any Registration Statement in accordance with Section (g) of this Annex A below;

vii. use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

viii. otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Purchaser, consistent with the terms of this Securities Purchase Agreement and the Securities offered thereunder, in connection with such registration.

(e) In the event that any Purchaser holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon written request of such Purchaser (a “Registration Request”), shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s option, any then available Registration Statement (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or by filing a subsequent Registration Statement (each such Registration Statement, an “Additional Registration Statement”), with such Additional Registration Statement to be (i) filed in accordance with the requirements of Section (a) of this Annex A, provided that, any Additional Registration Statement shall be filed as soon as practicable following the date of a Registration Request but no later than thirty (30) calendar days following the date of such Registration Request, and causing the same to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing in accordance with Section (b) of this Annex A, and such Additional Registration Statement shall be subject to the terms of this Annex A.

(f) If the Initial Registration Statement or any Additional Registration Statement ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable to cause such Initial Registration Statement or Additional Registration Statement, as applicable, to again become effective under the Securities Act or file an Additional Registration Statement registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) business days prior to such filing) pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to the Company.

(g) For not more than ninety (90) consecutive days or for a total of not more than one-hundred twenty (120) days, in each case, in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may suspend the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of any Registration Statement in respect of any registration contemplated by this Annex A in the event that the Company determines in good faith that such suspension is necessary to (A) delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company; (B) amend or supplement the affected Registration Statement or the related prospectus so that such Registration Statement or prospectus shall not include any misstatement; or (C) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control (each, an “Allowed Delay”); provided that the Company shall promptly (1) notify the Purchaser in writing of the commencement of an Allowed Delay, but shall not (without the prior written consent of a Purchaser) disclose to such Purchaser any material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (2) advise the Purchaser in writing to cease all sales under such Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, any sale pursuant to Rule 144 or other applicable exemption under the Securities Act) and (3) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as reasonably practicable.

(h) The Company will pay all expenses associated with each Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Annex A, including filing and printing fees, the fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws and listing fees, but excluding discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold.

(i) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, and each of its officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, managers, equityholders, attorneys, advisors and agents, and each person or entity, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities and Exchange Act) the Purchaser (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, actions, claims, proceedings (whether commenced or threatened), damages, liabilities or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (each a “Loss” and collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or based upon any Misstatement contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus or summary Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus or summary Prospectus, or any free writing prospectus relating to such Registration Statement, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company or any state securities (or Blue Sky) law, rule or regulation and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration; and the Company shall promptly reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified Party for any reasonable, customary and documented out-of-pocket legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred, as incurred, by such Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such Losses, except to the extent the Purchaser is liable to indemnify the Company for such Losses pursuant to Section (j) of this Annex A below; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section (i) of this Annex A shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such losses, judgments, claims, damages, liabilities or out-of-pocket expenses arises out of or is based upon any Misstatement made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company, in writing, by the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party expressly for use therein.

(j) The Purchaser will, in the event that any registration of any Registrable Securities held by the Purchaser is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement and the Company has required the Purchaser to provide such an undertaking on the same terms, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter (if any), and each other person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any Losses, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any Misstatement

contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus or summary Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, if the Misstatement was made (or not made, in the case of an omission) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Purchaser expressly for use therein, and shall reimburse the Company and its directors and officers for any reasonable, customary and documented out-of-pocket legal or other expenses incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such Loss.

(k) No holder shall be entitled to include any of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement pursuant to this Annex A unless such holder furnishes to the Company in writing, within 10 days after receipt of a written request therefor (such written request, a “Notice and Questionnaire”), such information as the Company, after conferring with counsel with regard to information relating to holders that would be required by the SEC to be included in the Registration Statement or prospectus included therein, may reasonably request for inclusion in any Registration Statement or Prospectus included therein. The Company shall mail the Notice and Questionnaire to the holders no later than 20 days prior to the date of initial filing of the Registration Statement with the SEC. No Holder shall be entitled to be named as a selling securityholder in the Registration Statement as of the initial effective date of the Registration Statement, and no holder may use the prospectus forming a part thereof for resales of Registrable Securities at any time, unless such holder has returned a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company by the deadline for response set forth therein; provided, however, that holders shall have at least 10 days from the date on which the Notice and Questionnaire is first mailed to such holders to return a completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) upon the request of any holder that did not return a Notice and Questionnaire on a timely basis or did not receive a Notice and Questionnaire because it was a subsequent transferee of Registrable Securities after the Company mailed the Notice and Questionnaire, the Company shall distribute a Notice and Questionnaire to such holders at the address set forth in the request and (y) upon receipt of a properly completed Notice and Questionnaire from such holder, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to name such holder as a selling securityholder in the Registration Statement by means of a pre-effective amendment, or, if permitted by the SEC, by means of a post-effective amendment or a prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company will have no obligation to add holders to the Registration Statement as selling securityholders more frequently than once every 30 calendar days.

SECTION 6. VOTING.

6.1 General. Except as required by applicable law and as set forth below, the holders of the Series A-[•] Preferred Stock shall not be entitled as such to receive notice of or to attend any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation or to vote at any such meeting or any matters of the Corporation.

At all times when the holders of the Investor Preferred Stock shall beneficially own at least thirty percent (30%) of the capital stock of the Corporation (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock), the holders of record of the shares of Investor Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive right, voting together as a separate class, to appoint and elect three (3) directors of the Corporation. At all times when the holders of Investor Preferred Stock shall beneficially own at least forty percent (40)% of the capital stock of the Corporation (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock), the holders of record of the shares of Investor Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive right, voting together as a separate class, to nominate and designate a fourth director of the Corporation, provided, however, that any fourth director proposed to be appointed pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) would be subject to the reasonable, good faith review and determination of the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board (the “Nominating Committee”) that the election of such director not result in either (i) the Corporation being in violation of any rules and regulations (including the independence and other director qualification requirements) of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange on which the Corporation’s securities are then listed or any other applicable law or (ii) a determination that such appointment would constitute a change in control of the Company under the Company’s governing documents or applicable law, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) as reasonably determined in good faith by the Nominating Committee upon the written advice of counsel (which such advice shall be shared with the holders of the Investor Preferred Stock), and any such director following appointment shall be designated by the Nominating Committee (or Board) to a class of common directors for approval by the stockholders of the Company at the applicable annual meeting of stockholders. In the event that any such fourth director designated pursuant to the foregoing sentence is not approved by the stockholders of the Company at the applicable annual meeting of stockholders, the holders of record of the shares of Investor Preferred Stock shall have the right to appoint and elect a replacement for such director, in each case pursuant to the Nominating Committee approval requirements set forth above, which such director following Nominating Committee approval shall be designated to the same class of common directors as the prior appointee for approval by the stockholders of the Company at the applicable annual meeting of stockholders to approve directors of such class. To the extent one or more directors are appointed and elected as provided in this Section 6.2(a), for each committee of the Board for which at least one such director is qualified under applicable law and the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Corporation’s securities are then listed to serve, the Board shall invite at least one such director, so qualified, to serve on such committee. The appointment and election of any director pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) may be made by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of record of a majority of the Investor Preferred Stock, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called by such stockholders for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of such stockholders. Any director appointed and elected as provided in this Section 6.2(a) may be removed without cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Investor Preferred Stock, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called by such stockholders for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of such stockholders, and any such notification may be made by electronic mail directed to the Secretary of the Corporation. In the event that a director appointed and elected by the holders of Investor Preferred Stock resigns or is unable to serve as a member of the Board, the holders of record of the shares of Investor Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive right, voting together as a separate class, to appoint and elect a director to full such vacancy. Any appointment or removal of any director pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) shall be effective immediately upon delivery to the Corporation of a notification of the results of the applicable special meeting or upon delivery of the applicable written consent, as the case may be. If the holders of the Investor Preferred Stock fail to appoint a sufficient number of directors to fill all directorships for which they are entitled to appoint directors pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) (including following the removal or resignation of any such director or the inability of any such director to serve on the Board), then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such time as the holders of the Investor Preferred Stock appoint and elect an individual to fill such directorship voting exclusively and together as a separate class, pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.2(a); and no such directorship may be filled other than by the holders of the Investor Preferred Stock, voting exclusively and together as a separate class, pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.2(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the rights provided by this Section 6.2(a) shall not be duplicative of similar rights provided in any other series of Investor Preferred Stock, and the holders of the Investor Preferred Stock, at any time, shall only be entitled to appoint and elect a maximum of four (4) directors of the Corporation pursuant to the designation rights provided by the certificates of designations governing the Investor Preferred Stock.

(b) At all times when the holders of Investor Preferred Stock have a right to appoint at least one (1) director under Section 6.2(a), the holders of Investor Preferred Stock share the right to appoint one non-voting observer to the Board (the “Board Observer”). The Board shall permit the Board Observer to attend all meetings of the Board and of any committee thereof as a non-voting observer, in each case to the extent permissible under applicable law or the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Corporation’s securities are then listed, and will give such individual notice of such meetings at the same time and in the same manner as notice is provided to the members of the Board. The Board Observer shall be entitled to concurrent receipt of any materials provided to the Board or any committee thereof, provided, that the Board Observer shall agree to hold in confidence and trust all information so provided; and provided further, that the Board may withhold any information and exclude the Board Observer from any meeting or portion thereof for any legitimate business or legal reason (as determined in the Board’s sole discretion). The Board will provide expense reimbursement to any Board Observer on the same basis as if such Board Observer were a director of the Corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights provided by this Section 6.2(b) shall not be duplicative of similar rights provided in any other series of Investor Preferred Stock, and the holders of the Investor Preferred Stock, at any time, shall only be entitled to appoint one (1) Board Observer pursuant to the designation rights provided by the certificate of designations governing the Investor Preferred Stock.

(c) At all times when the holders of Investor Preferred Stock have a right to appoint at least one (1) director under Section 6.2(a), the holders of the Investor Preferred Stock shall, by exercise of any warrants issued to such holders pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement or conversion of the Investor Preferred Stock, be deemed to have agreed to not vote any shares of Common Stock they receive upon the conversion of any Investor Preferred Stock or the exercise of any warrants issued to such holders pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement in any election of directors.

6.3 Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. Until the later of (i) such time when the holders of Investor Preferred Stock shall no longer beneficially own at least 5% of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation and (ii) five (5) years following the Original Issue Date, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation, domestication, transfer, continuance, recapitalization, reclassification, waiver, statutory conversion, or otherwise, effect or validate any of the following acts or transactions without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Restated Certificate) the written consent or affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of preferred stock (the “Investor Preferred Stock”) issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2024, by and among the Corporation and CCM Denali Equity Holdings, LP (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) or that certain Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Corporation, the guarantors party thereto, the various lenders thereto and CCM Denali Debt Holdings, LP, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (the “Credit Agreement”), and any such act or transaction that has not been approved by such consent or vote prior to such act or transaction being effected shall be null and void ab initio, and of no force or effect:

(a) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Corporation or effect any event that requires a distribution to the Corporation’s stockholders in accordance with their liquidation preference, or any other merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance;

(b) amend, alter, repeal or waive any provision of the Restated Certificate or Bylaws of the Corporation in a manner that would adversely affect the special rights, powers, preferences or privileges of the Preferred Stock (or any series thereof);

(c) create or issue, or obligate itself to issue, shares of, or reclassify, any capital stock of the Corporation other than Excluded Issuances;

(d) increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock, or create any additional class or series of capital stock of the Corporation (other than increases in the number of the authorized shares of Common Stock); or

(e) purchase or redeem (or permit any subsidiary to purchase or redeem) or pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, other than (i) redemptions of or dividends or distributions on the Investor Preferred Stock as expressly authorized herein or in the certificate of designations of any Investor Preferred Stock, and (ii) dividends or other distributions payable on the Common Stock solely in the form of additional shares of Common Stock;

provided, however, holders of Investor Preferred Stock shall have the right set forth in Section 6.3(b) so long as any shares of Investor Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

SECTION 7. CONVERSION. The shares of Series A-[•] Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into shares of Common Stock or any other securities of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the second (2nd) business day after the date that the Corporation receives the Requisite Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Credit Agreement), each share of Series A-[•] Preferred Stock shall convert into a number of shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, having the terms and conditions set forth in Exhibit B to the Securities Purchase Agreement, initially convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the Series A-[•] Liquidation Value, provided that the holders of Series A-[•]Preferred Stock shall have the option to request, in writing, that any portion of the Series A-[•]Preferred Stock not be so converted. With respect to any shares of Series A-[•]Preferred Stock that remain outstanding after the Corporation receives the Requisite Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Credit Agreement), the Corporation shall be required to convert such shares into shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 7 within five (5) business days of receiving a written request (which may be by electronic mail) from the holders of such shares. The Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall have substantively similar terms to the Series A-[•]Stock, except that the Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall be convertible into Common Stock, and include conversion and antidilution terms related thereto, shall provide the holders thereof certain pre-emptive rights to participate in future offerings of equity securities by the Corporation and shall include a provision that limits the beneficial ownership of the holders thereof (together with any group of which such holders are a member) to no more than 49.9% (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding, all as set forth in Exhibit B to the Securities Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by written notice to the Corporation, any holder may amend the Beneficial Ownership Limitation percentage with respect to such holder to any percentage that is lower than or equal to 49.9%.

SECTION 8. REDEMPTION.

8.1 Redemption and Redemption Price. At any time after the fifth anniversary of the Original Issue Date, any holder of the shares of Series A-[•] Preferred Stock may, at its option, require the Corporation to redeem the Series A-[•] Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, owned by such holder at the Redemption Price (as defined below); provided, however, that the Corporation shall not redeem or be required to redeem any shares of Series A- [•]Preferred Stock or give notice of any redemption unless the Corporation has sufficient and lawful funds to redeem the shares to be redeemed. The redemption price of the Series A-[•]Preferred Stock shall be an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Original Issue Price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, up to and including the Redemption Date and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the Series A-[•] Liquidation Value multiplied by the average of the closing sale price of the Common Stock for the five (5) Business Days immediately prior to the Redemption Date plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, up to and including the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). The Redemption Price must be paid in cash.

8.2 Redemption Notice. A holder of Series A-[•] Preferred Stock shall, not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of redemption, give written notice to the Corporation of the shares of Series A-[•] Preferred Stock required to be redeemed. For purposes of this Certificate of Designation, the date upon which a holder of Series A-[•] Preferred Stock desires the redemption to take effect, shall be the “Redemption Date,” and the written notice given by a holder of Series A-[•]Preferred Stock to the Corporation in connection with such redemption, shall be the “Redemption Notice.” The Redemption Notice shall state the total number of shares required by the holder of Series A-[•] Preferred Stock to be redeemed and the Redemption Date. Promptly following receipt of a Redemption Notice given by a holder of Series A-[•]Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall notify such holder of the time, place and manner in which the holder is to surrender to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series A-[•] Preferred Stock required to be redeemed.

8.3 Payment of Redemption Price and Surrender of Stock. On the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price of the Series A-[•] Preferred Stock required by the holder thereof to be redeemed shall be payable to the holder(s) of the Series A-[•] Preferred Stock being so redeemed. On or before the Redemption Date, each holder of Series A-[•] Preferred Stock required by the holder thereof to be redeemed shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the notice of the Corporation described in Section 8.2 above, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled and retired.

8.4 Termination of Rights. If the Redemption Notice is duly given, and if at least ten (10) days prior to the Redemption Date the Redemption Price is either paid or made available for payment through the arrangement specified in Section 8.5 below, then notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series A-[•] Preferred Stock so called for redemption by the Corporation or required by a holder thereof to be redeemed, as the case may be, have not been surrendered, all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date cease, except only the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificates therefor.

8.5 Deposit of Funds. At least ten (10) days prior to the Redemption Date, the Corporation may, but shall not be obligated to, deposit with any bank or trust company in San Francisco, California, having a capital and surplus of at least $1 billion as a trust fund, a sum equal to the aggregate Redemption Price of all shares of the Series A-[•] Preferred Stock called for redemption by the Corporation or required by a holder thereof to be redeemed, as the case may be, and not yet redeemed, with irrevocable instructions and authority to the bank or trust company to pay, on or after the Redemption Date or prior thereto, the Redemption Price to the respective holders upon the surrender of their share certificates. The deposit, if made, shall constitute full payment of the shares of Series A- [•] Preferred Stock to their holders, and from and after the date of such deposit (even if prior to the Redemption Date), the shares of Series A-[•] Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be redeemed and no longer outstanding, and the holders thereof shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares and shall have no rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive from the bank or trust company payment of the Redemption Price of the shares, without interest, upon surrender of their certificates therefor. Any monies so deposited and unclaimed at the end of one (1) year from the Redemption Date shall be released or repaid to the Corporation, after which the holders of shares of Series A-[•] Preferred Stock called for redemption by the Corporation or required by a holder thereof to be redeemed, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Price only from the Corporation.

SECTION 9. ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS.

9.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Corporation declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or which otherwise entitles the holder thereof to acquire, any shares of Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) then the Series A-[•] Liquidation Value of each share of Series A-[•] Preferred Stock shall be increased by the total shares of Common Stock issued (or issuable in the case of Convertible Securities) that would have been issued to a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the Series A- [•] Liquidation Value immediately prior to such dividend or distribution. If the Corporation subdivides the Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the Series A-[•] Liquidation Value shall be proportionately increased, provided the Original Issue Price shall remain the same. If the outstanding shares of the Common Stock are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Series A-[•] Liquidation Value shall be proportionately decreased, provided the Original Issue Price shall remain the same.

9.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Corporation securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, the Series A-[•]Liquidation Value should be equal to the number, class and series of Corporation securities that a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Series A-[•]Liquidation Value immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, combination or substitution would have received, provided the Original Issue Price shall remain the same, subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof. The provisions of this Section 9.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations, substitutions, replacements or other similar events.

9.3 Adjustment for Issuance of Applicable Shares. If the Corporation shall issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (other than shares included in the Excluded Issuances, as defined below) (“Applicable Shares”), or options, warrants, or Convertible Securities or similar instruments exercisable or otherwise convertible or exchangeable for Applicable Shares, in each case without consideration or for a consideration per share initially deliverable upon issuance, conversion or exchange of such securities less than the quotient of the then applicable Original Issue Price divided by the number of shares of Common Stock represented by the then applicable Series A- [•] Liquidation Value, as may be adjusted to account for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or other distributions and

recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock (the “Original Issue Price Per Share”), then effective immediately upon such issuance or sale, the Series A-[•] Liquidation Value immediately prior to any such issuance or sale shall be increased, and shall not be reduced, in accordance with the following formula:

LV1 = LV0 x [(OS + D) / (OS + PS)]

LV1	=	new number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Series A-[•] Liquidation Value
LV0	=	then applicable number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Series A-[•]Liquidation Value
OS	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such securities
D	=	the maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon issuance of such securities
PS	=	the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate amount of consideration received by the Corporation upon such issuance or sale would have purchased at the Original Issue Price Per Share.

9.4 Exceptions to Adjustments. Except as specifically provided for herein, there shall be no adjustment or readjustment to the Series A-[•] Liquidation Value in the following circumstances (each of the following, an “Excluded Issuance”): (1) securities issued to the Corporation’s lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement or Securities Purchase Agreement or upon the exercise of warrants or conversion of preferred stock issued to the Corporation’s lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement or Securities Purchase Agreement; (2) upon conversion, exercise or exchange of securities, including convertible debt securities and convertible debt securities issued as payment-in-kind interest thereon, outstanding prior to the date of this Certificate of Designation without alteration; (3) pursuant to agreements in effect as of date of this Certificate of Designation (provided that such agreements are not amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented after the date of this Certificate of Designation to increase the number of securities, reduce the consideration payable in connection with such securities, or otherwise change the terms of such agreements so as to have a dilutive effect on this Certificate of Designation (or any securities issued or issuable hereunder)); (4) the issuance of Common Stock (or options or other similar instruments convertible into Common Stock) to the Corporation’s management, directors or other service providers pursuant to compensation and incentive programs approved by the Board; and (5) the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to any registered offering of Common Stock or a private placement of Common Stock in accordance with the exemptions provided under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as amended, each as principally for bona fide equity financing purposes; provided, however, that clause (5) of the definition of Excluded Issuance shall only be an Excluded Issuance for the purposes of Section 6.3(c) of this Certificate of Designation (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not an “Excluded Issuance” for any other purposes (including, without limitation, any anti-dilution adjustments in this Certificate of Designation)).

9.5 Expiration of Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised options, warrants, or Convertible Securities or similar instruments exercisable or otherwise convertible or exchangeable for Applicable Shares (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Series A-[•] Liquidation Value, the Series A-[•]Liquidation Value shall be readjusted to such Series A-[•] Liquidation Value as would have been in effect had such options, warrants, or Convertible Securities or similar instruments exercisable or otherwise convertible or exchangeable for Applicable Shares (or portion thereof) never been issued.

9.6 Reserved.

9.7 Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 9.7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features) occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of the Series A-[•] Liquidation Value so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Series A-[•] Preferred Stock in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 9.7 shall decrease the Original Issue Price or decrease the Series A-[•]Liquidation Value.

9.8 Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9.8 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 9.8, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

9.9 Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Series A-[•]Liquidation Value is adjusted as provided under this Section 9, the Corporation shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires such adjustment (or if the Corporation is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming so aware), provide a written notice to the holders of the Series A-[•] Preferred Stock of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the method by which the adjustment to the applicable Series A-[•] Liquidation Value was determined and setting forth the adjusted applicable Series A-[•] Liquidation Value.

SECTION 10. NO RE-ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK. No shares of Series A-[•] Preferred Stock redeemed, purchased or acquired by the Corporation shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be canceled and eliminated from the shares the Corporation shall be authorized to issue.

SECTION 11. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Without the consent of a majority of holders of the Series A-[•] Preferred Stock, the Corporation may amend or supplement this Certificate of Designation to make any change that would grant any additional rights or benefits to the holders of the Series A-[•] Preferred Stock or that does not affect the legal rights under this Certificate of Designation of any such holder.

SECTION 12. LOST OR MUTILATED SERIES A-[•] PREFERRED STOCK CERTIFICATE. If a holder’s Series A-[•] Preferred Stock certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the shares of Series A-[•] Preferred Stock so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, and of the ownership thereof, reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation and, in each case, customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a new certificate under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures as the Corporation may prescribe.

SECTION 13. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Restated Certificate or Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Certificate of Designation and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holders against impairment.

SECTION 14. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Certificate of Designation is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Certificate of Designation shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

SECTION 15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

15.1 Submission to Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute relating to an Original Issuance Price, a Redemption Price, a Series A-[•] Liquidation value and fair market value or any other computation to be made hereunder (each of the foregoing a “Disputed Calculation” and together the “Disputed Calculations”) or the arithmetic calculation of any of the foregoing (as the case may be) (including, without limitation, a dispute relating to the determination of any of the foregoing), the Corporation or the applicable holder (as the case may be) (the “Disputing Party”) shall notify the other party (the “Responding Party”) of the dispute via electronic mail (A) if by the Corporation, within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute or (B) if by such holder at any time after such holder learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If the Disputing Party and the Responding Party are unable to promptly resolve such dispute relating to such Disputed Calculation, or the arithmetic calculation of such Disputed Calculation (as the case may be), at any time after the fifth (5th) Business Day following such initial notice by the Disputing Party to the Responding Party, then the Disputing

Party may select and submit to the Responding Party via electronic email a list of independent, reputable investment banks to resolve such dispute (the “Disputing Party’s Selection List”). If the Responding Party objects to all such independent, reputable investment banks included in the Disputing Party’s Selection List, then the Responding Party may submit to the Disputing Party via electronic mail an alternative list of independent, reputable investment banks (the “Responding Party’s Selection List”) within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the Disputing Party’s Selection List. If the Disputing Party objects to all such independent, reputable investment banks on the Responding Party’s Selection List, then the Disputing Party must notify the Responding Party via electronic mail of such objection within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the Responding Party’s Selection List (the “Selection Deadline”). Following which, each of the Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall select an independent, reputable investment bank within five (5) Business Days of the Selection Deadline (the “Alternative Selection Deadline”), and the two selected independent, reputable investment banks shall have five (5) Business Days from the Alternative Selection Deadline to select a third independent, reputable investment bank to resolve the dispute (the “Final Selection Deadline”). The Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall take all such reasonable steps necessary to jointly engage the appointed bank as shortly thereafter as reasonably possible, and in any event, within ten (10) Business Days of the Final Selection Deadline.

15.2 The Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall each deliver to the investment bank engaged pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 15.1 (A) a copy of the initial dispute submission so delivered in accordance with the first sentence of Section 15.1 and (B) written documentation supporting such respective party’s position with respect to such dispute, in each case, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) by the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the date on which such investment bank was engaged (the “Dispute Submission Deadline”) (the documents referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) are collectively referred to herein as the “Required Dispute Documentation”) (it being understood and agreed that if either the Disputing Party and the Responding Party fails to raise any claims in the Required Dispute Documentation it submits by the Dispute Submission Deadline, then the party who fails to raise such claim in the Required Dispute Documentation shall no longer be entitled to (and hereby waives its right to) raise such claim to such investment bank with respect to such dispute and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on the claims raised in the Required Dispute Documentation that was delivered to such investment bank prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the Disputing Party and the Responding Party or otherwise requested by such investment bank, neither the Disputing Party nor the Responding Party shall be entitled to deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank in connection with such dispute (other than the Required Dispute Documentation).

15.3 The Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the investment bank engaged pursuant to Section 15.1 to determine the resolution of such dispute and notify the Disputing Party and the Responding Party of such resolution no later than ten (10) Business Days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline. The fees and expenses of such investment bank shall be borne solely by the Corporation, and such investment bank’s resolution of such dispute shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error.

15.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 15, nothing in this Section 15 shall limit a holder’s right to pursue any and all remedies available to it, at law, in equity or otherwise, including, without limitation, any action seeking the entry of an order specifically enforcing the terms and conditions hereof, granting injunctive relief and/or awarding damages arising from any breach or threatened breach of this Section 15 or any other Section hereof. Any holder may choose to seek an alternative remedy in lieu of or in addition to effectuating the dispute resolution procedures provided in this Section 15 by providing written notice to the Corporation of its intent to do so at any time prior to the Selection Deadline.

SECTION 16. CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), each of the holders of Investor Preferred Stock, any of their respective Affiliates and any of its or their respective directors, officers, employees and consultants, including any director appointed to the Board pursuant to Section 6.2(a) (collectively, the “Investor Related Parties”), may freely offer to any other Person or effect on behalf of itself or any other Person any other investment or business opportunity or prospective economic advantage, including those competitive with the business of the Corporation, or other transactions in which the Corporation, its subsidiaries, any member of the Board or any other shareholder of the Corporation may have an interest or expectancy, including as a result of any fiduciary duties applicable to such Person (“Investor Transactions”), unless such matter, transaction or interest is presented to, or

acquired, created or developed by, or otherwise comes into the possession of, such Investor Related Party expressly and solely in such Investor Related Party’s capacity as a director of the Corporation, in each case without any prior Corporation, Board or stockholder notification or approval; provided, that if the Corporation, to the Investor Related Party’s knowledge, is considering the same Investor Transaction, the Investor Related Party will promptly notify the Corporation of its interest in such Investor Transaction and cause each member of the Board that is an Investor Related Party to recuse himself from all Board discussions and activities relating to such Investor Transaction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Corporation agrees and acknowledges that Investor Related Parties and their respective Affiliates may have both passive and non-passive interests in Persons deemed competitors of the Corporation, and that the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applicable to such competitors, their respective Affiliates and any of their respective directors, officers and employees in respect thereof. Any person or entity purchasing, holding or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the provisions of this Section 16.

SECTION 6. VOTING.

6.1 General. Except as required by applicable law and as set forth below, the holders of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock shall not be entitled as such to receive notice of or to attend any meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation or to vote at any such meeting or any matters of the Corporation.

(a) At all times when the holders of Investor Preferred Stock shall beneficially own at least ten percent (10%) of the capital stock of the Corporation (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock), the holders of record of the shares of Investor Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive right, voting together as a separate class, to appoint and elect one (1) director of the Corporation. At all times when the holders of Investor Preferred Stock shall beneficially own at least fifteen percent (15%) of the capital stock of the Corporation (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock), the holders of record of the shares of Investor Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive right, voting together as a separate class, to appoint and elect two (2) directors of the Corporation. At tall times when the holders of the Investor Preferred Stock shall beneficially own at least thirty percent (30%) of the capital stock of the Corporation (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock), the holders of record of the shares of Investor Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive right, voting together as a separate class, to appoint and elect three (3) directors of the Corporation. At all times when the holders of Investor Preferred Stock beneficially own at least forty percent (40)% of the capital stock of the Corporation (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Preferred Stock or the Common Stock), the holders of record of the shares of Investor Preferred Stock shall have

the exclusive right, voting together as a separate class, to nominate and designate a fourth director of the Corporation, provided, however, that any fourth director proposed to be appointed pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) would be subject to the reasonable, good faith review and determination of the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board (the “Nominating Committee”) that the election of such director not result in either (i) the Corporation being in violation of any rules and regulations (including the independence and other director qualification requirements) of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any national securities exchange on which the Corporation’s securities are then listed or any other applicable law or (ii) a determination that such appointment would constitute a change in control of the Company under the Company’s governing documents or applicable law, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) as reasonably determined in good faith by the Nominating Committee upon the written advice of counsel (which such advice shall be shared with the holders of the Investor Preferred Stock) and any such director following appointment shall be designated by the Nominating Committee (or Board) to a class of common directors for approval by the stockholders of the Company at the applicable annual meeting of stockholders. In the event that any such fourth director designated pursuant to the foregoing sentence is not approved by the stockholders of the Company at the applicable annual meeting of stockholders, the holders of record of the shares of Investor Preferred Stock shall have the right to appoint and elect a replacement for such director, in each case pursuant to the Nominating Committee approval requirements set forth above, which such director following Nominating Committee approval shall be designated to the same class of common directors as the prior appointee for approval by the stockholders of the Company at the applicable annual meeting of stockholders to approve directors of such class. To the extent one or more directors are appointed and elected as provided in this Section 6.2(a) for each committee of the Board for which at least one such director is qualified under applicable law and the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Corporation’s securities are then listed to serve, the Board shall invite at least one such director, so qualified, to serve on such committee. The appointment and election of any director pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) may be made by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of record of a majority of the Investor Preferred Stock, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called by such stockholders for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of such stockholders. Any director appointed and elected as provided in this Section 6.2(a) may be removed without cause by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Investor Preferred Stock, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called by such stockholders for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of such stockholders, and any such notification may be made by electronic mail directed to the Secretary of the Corporation. In the event that a director appointed and elected by the holders of Investor Preferred Stock resigns or is unable to serve as a member of the Board, the holders of record of the shares of Investor Preferred Stock shall have the exclusive right, voting together as a separate class, to appoint and elect a director to full such vacancy. Any appointment or removal of any director pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) shall be effective immediately upon delivery to the Corporation of a notification of the results of the applicable special meeting or upon delivery of the applicable written consent, as the case may be. If the holders of the Investor Preferred Stock fail to appoint a sufficient number of directors to fill all directorships for which they are entitled to appoint directors pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) (including following the removal or resignation of any such director or the inability of any such director to serve on the Board), then any directorship not so filled shall remain vacant until such time as the holders of the Investor Preferred Stock appoint and elect an individual to fill such directorship voting exclusively and together as a separate class, pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.2(a); and no such directorship may be filled other than by the holders of the Investor Preferred Stock, voting exclusively and together as a separate class, pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.2(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the rights provided by this Section 6.2(a) shall not be duplicative of similar rights provided in any other series of Investor Preferred Stock, and the holders of the Investor Preferred Stock, at any time, shall only be entitled to appoint and elect a maximum of four (4) directors of the Corporation pursuant to the designation rights provided by the certificates of designations governing the Investor Preferred Stock.

(b) At all times when the holders of Investor Preferred Stock have a right to appoint at least one (1) director under Section 6.2(a), the holders of Investor Preferred Stock share the right to appoint one non-voting observer to the Board (the “Board Observer”). The Board shall permit the Board Observer to attend all meetings of the Board and of any committee thereof as a non-voting observer, in each case to the extent permissible under applicable law or the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange on which the Corporation’s securities are then listed, and will give such individual notice of such meetings at the same time and in the same manner as notice is provided to the members of the Board. The Board Observer shall be entitled to concurrent receipt of any materials provided to the Board or any committee thereof, provided, that the Board Observer shall agree to hold in confidence and trust all information so provided; and provided further, that the Board may withhold any information and exclude the Board Observer from any meeting or portion thereof for any legitimate business or legal reason (as determined in the Board’s sole discretion). The Board will provide expense reimbursement to any Board Observer on the same basis

as if such Board Observer were a director of the Corporation. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights provided by this Section 6.2(b) shall not be duplicative of similar rights provided in any other series of Investor Preferred Stock, and the holders of the Investor Preferred Stock, at any time, shall only be entitled to appoint one (1) Board Observer pursuant to the designation rights provided by the certificate of designations governing the Investor Preferred Stock.

(c) At all times when the holders of Investor Preferred Stock have a right to appoint at least one (1) director under Section 6.2(a), the holders of the Investor Preferred Stock shall, by exercise of any warrants issued to such holders pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement or conversion of the Investor Preferred Stock, be deemed to have agreed to not vote any shares of Common Stock they receive upon the conversion of any Investor Preferred Stock or the exercise of any warrants issued to such holders pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement in any election of directors.

6.3 Preferred Stock Protective Provisions. Until the later of (i) such time when the holders of Investor Preferred Stock shall no longer beneficially own at least 5% of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation and (ii) five (5) years following the Original Issue date, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly, by amendment, merger, consolidation, domestication, transfer, continuance, recapitalization, reclassification, waiver, statutory conversion, or otherwise, effect or validate any of the following acts or transactions without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Restated Certificate) the written consent or affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of preferred stock (the “Investor Preferred Stock”) issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2024, by and among the Corporation and CCM Denali Equity Holdings, LP (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) or that certain Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Corporation, the guarantors party thereto, the various lenders thereto and CCM Denali Debt Holdings, LP, as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent (the “Credit Agreement”), and any such act or transaction that has not been approved by such consent or vote prior to such act or transaction being effected shall be null and void ab initio, and of no force or effect:

(a) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Corporation or effect any event that requires a distribution to the Corporation’s stockholders in accordance with their liquidation preference, or any other merger, consolidation, statutory conversion, transfer, domestication or continuance;

(b) amend, alter, repeal or waive any provision of the Restated Certificate or Bylaws of the Corporation in a manner that would adversely affect the special rights, powers, preferences or privileges of the Preferred Stock (or any series thereof);

(c) create or issue or obligate itself to issue shares of, or reclassify, any capital stock of the Corporation, other than Excluded Issuances;

(d) increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock, or create any additional class or series of capital stock of the Corporation (other than increases in the number of the authorized shares of Common Stock); or

(e) purchase or redeem (or permit any subsidiary to purchase or redeem) or pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, other than (i) redemptions of or dividends or distributions on the Investor Preferred Stock as expressly authorized herein or in the certificate of designations of any Investor Preferred Stock, and (ii) dividends or other distributions payable on the Common Stock solely in the form of additional shares of Common Stock;

provided, however, holders of the Investor Preferred Stock shall have the right set forth in Section 6.3(b) so long as any shares of Investor Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

SECTION 7. CONVERSION.

7.1 Conversions at Option of Holder. Each share of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the Original Issue Date and through the Maturity Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement), at the option of the holder thereof, into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio (as defined below). Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”), duly completed and executed. Other than a conversion pursuant to Section 5.4 or Section 9.2, or following a notice provided for under Section 7.4(b) hereof, the Notice of Conversion must specify a number of shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock to be converted.

Conversion Shares issuable hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the holder by either, as the Notice of Conversion so specifies, (i) by crediting the account of the holder’s (or its designee’s) balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Transfer Agent is then a participant in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (a “DWAC Delivery”) and such Conversion Shares may be so issued in compliance with the requirements of the Securities Act and DTC, or (ii) by physical or electronic delivery, at the election of the holder, of a book entry statement(s), registered in the name of the holder (or its designee), for the number of Conversion Shares to which the holder is entitled pursuant to such conversion to the address or e-mail, as applicable, specified by the holder in the Notice of Conversion. The “Conversion Date,” or the date on which a conversion shall be deemed effective, shall be defined as the Trading Day that the Notice of Conversion, completed and executed, is sent by email to, and received during regular business hours by, an officer of the Corporation provided that, to the extent there are such officers, each such notice shall be sent to each of the chief executive officer, chief financial officer and general counsel of the Corporation; provided, further, that the original share certificate(s) (if applicable) representing such shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed, and the accompanying Notice of Conversion, are received by the Corporation within two (2) Trading Days thereafter. In all other cases, the Conversion Date shall be defined as the Trading Day on which the original share certificate(s) (if applicable) of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed, and the accompanying Notice of Conversion, are received by the Corporation. The calculations set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error. No ink original Notice of Conversion shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Conversion form be required.

7.2 Conversion Ratio. Each share of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock is convertible at a rate of one million (1,000,000) shares of Common Stock for each share of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 9 below (this rate, as adjusted from time to time, the “Conversion Ratio”).

7.3 Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock, and a holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to an attempted conversion set forth on an applicable Notice of Conversion, such holder (together with such holder’s Affiliates, and any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission, including any “group” of which the holder is a member (the foregoing, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock subject to the Notice of Conversion with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Series B-[•] Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such holder or any of its Attribution Parties, and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation beneficially owned by such holder or any of its Attribution Parties that are subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise similar to the limitation contained herein. For purposes of this Section 7.3, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission. In addition, for purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission. For purposes of this Section 7.3, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (A) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual filing with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation that is filed with the Commission, or (C) a more recent notice by the Corporation or the Corporation’s transfer agent to the holder setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Upon the written request of a holder (which may be by email), the Corporation shall, within two (2) Trading Days thereof, confirm in writing to such holder (which may be via email) the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any actual conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock and Warrant Shares (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and Credit Agreement, by such holder or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported or confirmed to the holder. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall initially be 49.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of

Common Stock pursuant to such Notice of Conversion (to the extent permitted pursuant to this Section 7.3); provided, however, that by written notice to the Corporation, which will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation, the holder may waive or amend the provisions of this Section 7.3 to change the Beneficial Ownership Limitation to any other number less than or equal to 49.9%, and the provisions of this Section 7.3 shall continue to apply. The Corporation shall be entitled to rely on representations made to it by the holder in any Notice of Conversion regarding its Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by written notice to the Corporation, any holder may amend the Beneficial Ownership Limitation percentage with respect to such holder to any percentage that is lower than or equal to 49.9%. The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the Exchange Act.

7.4 Mechanics of Conversion

(a) Delivery of Certificate or Electronic Issuance Upon Conversion. Not later than three (3) Trading Days after the applicable Conversion Date, or if the holder requests the issuance of physical certificate(s) for its Conversion Shares, two (2) Trading Days after receipt by the Corporation of the original certificate(s) representing such shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed, and the accompanying Notice of Conversion (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall (a) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting holder a physical certificate or certificates (or electronic book entry statements) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock or (b) in the case of a DWAC Delivery, electronically transfer such Conversion Shares by crediting the account of the holder’s (or its designee’s) prime broker with DTC through its DWAC system. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates (or electronic book entry statements) are not delivered to or as directed by or, in the case of a DWAC Delivery, such shares are not electronically delivered to or as directed by, the applicable holder by the Share Delivery Date, the applicable holder shall be entitled to elect to rescind such Notice of Conversion by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates (or electronic book entry statements) for Conversion Shares or electronic receipt of such shares, as applicable, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to such holder any original Series B-[•] Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and such holder shall promptly return to the Corporation any Common Stock certificates (or electronic book entry statements) or otherwise direct the return of any shares of Common Stock delivered to the holder through the DWAC system, representing the shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Corporation.

(b) Obligation Absolute. Subject to Section 7.3 hereof and subject to holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 7.4(a) above, the Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver (or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. Subject to Section 7.3 hereof and subject to holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 7.4(a) above, in the event a holder shall elect to convert any or all of its Series B-[•] Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock of such holder shall have been sought and obtained by the Corporation, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such holder in the amount of 150% of the value of the Conversion Shares into which would be converted the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock which is subject to such injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall, subject to Section 7 hereof and subject to holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 7.4(a) above, issue Conversion Shares upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Corporation fails to deliver (or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) to a holder such certificate or certificates (or book entry statements), or electronically deliver (or cause its transfer agent to electronically deliver) such shares in the case of a DWAC Delivery, pursuant to Section 7.4(a) on or prior to the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Share Delivery

Date applicable to such conversion (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by holder to the Corporation), then, unless the holder has rescinded the applicable Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 7.4(a) above, the Corporation shall pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to such holder an amount payable, at the holder’s option, either (a) in cash or (b) to the extent that it would not cause the holder or its Attribution Parties to exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, in shares of Common Stock that are valued for these purposes at the Closing Sale Price on the date of such calculation, in each case equal to the product of (x) the number of Conversion Shares required to have been issued by the Corporation on such Share Delivery Date, (y) an amount equal to the Daily Failure Amount and (z) the number of Trading Days actually lapsed after such fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date during which such certificates (or book entry statements) have not been delivered, or, in the case of a DWAC Delivery, such shares have not been electronically delivered; provided, however, the holder shall only receive up to such amount of shares of Common Stock such that holder and its Attribution Parties and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) shall not collectively beneficially own greater than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Nothing herein shall limit a holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver (or failure to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief; provided, that holder shall not receive duplicate damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver (or failure to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) Conversion Shares within the period specified herein. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

(c) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. If the Corporation fails to deliver (or cause the Transfer Agent to electronically deliver) to a holder the applicable certificate or certificates or book entry statement or statements or to effect a DWAC Delivery, as applicable, by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 7.4(a) (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by holder to the Corporation), and if after such Share Delivery Date such holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such holder of the Conversion Shares which such holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to such holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such holder) the amount by which (x) such holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock submitted for conversion or deliver to such holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied (or caused the Transfer Agent to timely comply) with its delivery requirements under Section 7.4(a). For example, if a holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock with respect to which the actual sale price (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay such holder $1,000. The holder shall provide the Corporation written notice, within three (3) Trading Days after the occurrence of a Buy-In, indicating the amounts payable to such holder in respect of such Buy-In together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Corporation. Nothing herein shall limit a holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation’s failure to timely deliver (or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) certificates (or book entry statements) representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the holder shall not be entitled to both (i) require the reissuance of the shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock submitted for conversion for which such conversion was not timely honored and (ii) receive the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied (or caused the Transfer Agent to timely comply) with its delivery requirements under Section 7.4(a).

(d) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the holders of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments of Section 9) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which a holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such conversion, such fraction shall be rounded down to the next whole share.

(f) Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates (or book entry statements) for shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates (or book entry statements), provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate (or book entry statement) upon conversion in a name other than that of the registered holder(s) of such shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates (or book entry statements) unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

(g) Status as Stockholder. Upon each Conversion Date, (i) the shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock being converted shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock; (ii) the holders of such converted shares shall assume the rights, privileges, and obligations of a holder of Common Stock of the Corporation; and (iii) the holder’s rights as a holder of such Converted Shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates (or book-entry statements) or otherwise electronic delivery for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. In all cases, the holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies for the Corporation’s failure to convert Series B-[•] Preferred Stock.

7.5 Register. The Corporation or the Transfer Agent shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each share of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock (the “Series B-[•] Preferred Stock Register”). The Corporation may deem and treat the registered holder as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of any conversion thereof and for all other purposes. The Corporation shall register the transfer of any shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock in the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock Register, upon surrender of the certificates evidencing such shares to be transferred, duly endorsed by the holder thereof, to the Corporation at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new certificate evidencing the shares of Series B- [•] Preferred Stock so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a new certificate evidencing the remaining portion of the shares not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring holder, in each case, within three (3) Business Days. The provisions of this Certificate of Designation are intended to be for the benefit of all holders from time to time and shall be enforceable by any such holder.

SECTION 8. REDEMPTION

8.1 Redemption and Redemption Price. At any time after the fifth anniversary of the Original Issue Date any holder of the shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock may, at its option, require the Corporation to redeem the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, owned by such holder at the Redemption Price (as defined below); provided, however, that the Corporation shall not redeem or be required to redeem any shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock or give notice of any redemption unless the Corporation has sufficient and lawful funds to redeem the shares to be redeemed. The redemption price per share of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock shall be an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Original Issue Price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, up to and including the Redemption Date and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Conversion Ratio multiplied by the average of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for the five (5) Business Days immediately prior to the date of the Redemption Notice (defined below) plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, up to and including the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). The Redemption Price must be paid in cash.

8.2 Redemption Notice. A holder of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock shall, not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of redemption, give written notice to the Corporation of the shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock required to be redeemed. For purposes of this Certificate of Designation, the date upon which a holder of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock desires the redemption to take effect, shall be the “Redemption Date,” and the written notice given by a holder of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock to the Corporation in connection with such redemption, shall be the “Redemption Notice.” The Redemption Notice shall state the total number of shares required by the holder of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock to be redeemed and the Redemption Date. Promptly following receipt of a Redemption Notice given by a holder of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall notify such holder of the time, place and manner in which the holder is to surrender to the Corporation the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock required to be redeemed.

8.3 Payment of Redemption Price and Surrender of Stock. On the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock required by the holder thereof to be redeemed shall be payable to the holder(s) of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock being so redeemed. On or before the Redemption Date, each holder of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock required by the holder thereof to be redeemed shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares to the Corporation, in the manner and at the place designated in the notice of the Corporation described in Section 8.2 above, and thereupon the Redemption Price for such shares shall be payable to the order of the person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall be cancelled and retired.

8.4 Termination of Rights. If the Redemption Notice is duly given, and if at least ten (10) days prior to the Redemption Date the Redemption Price is either paid or made available for payment through the arrangement specified in Section 8.5 below, then notwithstanding that the certificates evidencing any of the shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock so called for redemption by the Corporation or required by a holder thereof to be redeemed, as the case may be, have not been surrendered, all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith after the Redemption Date cease, except only the right of the holders to receive the Redemption Price without interest upon surrender of their certificates therefor.

8.5 Deposit of Funds. At least ten (10) days prior to the Redemption Date, the Corporation may, but shall not be obligated to, deposit with any bank or trust company in San Francisco, California, having a capital and surplus of at least $1 billion as a trust fund, a sum equal to the aggregate Redemption Price of all shares of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock called for redemption by the Corporation or required by a holder thereof to be redeemed, as the case may be, and not yet redeemed, with irrevocable instructions and authority to the bank or trust company to pay, on or after the Redemption Date or prior thereto, the Redemption Price to the respective holders upon the surrender of their share certificates. The deposit, if made, shall constitute full payment of the shares of Series B- [•] Preferred Stock to their holders, and from and after the date of such deposit (even if prior to the Redemption Date), the shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be redeemed and no longer outstanding, and the holders thereof shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares and shall have no rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive from the bank or trust company payment of the Redemption Price of the shares, without interest, upon surrender of their certificates therefor. Any monies so deposited and unclaimed at the end of one (1) year from the Redemption Date shall be released or repaid to the Corporation, after which the holders of shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock called for redemption by the Corporation or required by a holder thereof to be redeemed, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive payment of the Redemption Price only from the Corporation.

SECTION 9. ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS.

9.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Corporation declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or which otherwise entitles the holder thereof to acquire, any shares of Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) then the Conversion Ratio shall be increased by the total shares of Common Stock issued (or issuable in the case of Convertible Securities) that would have been issued to a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio immediately prior to such dividend or distribution. If the Corporation subdivides the Common Stock by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, then the Conversion Ratio shall be proportionately increased, provided the Original Issue Price shall remain the same. If the outstanding shares of the Common Stock are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Conversion Ratio shall be proportionately decreased, provided the Original Issue Price shall remain the same.

9.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of Common Stock are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Corporation securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, a share of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the number, class and series of Corporation securities that a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, combination or substitution would have received, provided the Original Issue Price shall remain the same, subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions hereof. The provisions of this Section 9.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations, substitutions, replacements or other similar events.

9.3 Adjustment for Issuance of Applicable Shares. If the Corporation shall issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (other than shares included in the Excluded Issuances, as defined below) (“Applicable Shares”), or options, warrants, or Convertible Securities or similar instruments exercisable or otherwise convertible or exchangeable for Applicable Shares, in each case without consideration or for a consideration per share initially deliverable upon issuance, conversion or exchange of such securities less than the then applicable Conversion Price, then effective immediately upon such issuance or sale, the Conversion Ratio shall be increased, and shall not be reduced, in accordance with the following formula:

CR1 = CR0 x [(OS + D) / (OS + PS)]

CR1	=	the new Conversion Ratio
CR0	=	the then applicable Conversion Ratio
OS	=	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such securities
D	=	the maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon issuance of such securities
PS	=	the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate amount of consideration received by the Corporation upon such issuance or sale would have purchased at the Conversion Price

9.4 Exceptions to Adjustments. Except as specifically provided for herein, there shall be no adjustment or readjustment to the Conversion Ratio in the following circumstances (each of the following, an “Excluded Issuance”): (1) securities issued to the Corporation’s lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement or Securities Purchase Agreement or upon the exercise of warrants or conversion of preferred stock issued to the Corporation’s lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement or Securities Purchase Agreement; (2) upon conversion, exercise or exchange of securities, including convertible debt securities and convertible debt securities issued as payment-in-kind interest thereon, outstanding prior to the date of this Certificate of Designation without alteration; (3) pursuant to agreements in effect as of date of this Certificate of Designation (provided that such agreements are not amended, amended and restated, modified or supplemented after the date of this Certificate of Designation to increase the number of securities, reduce the consideration payable in connection with such securities, or otherwise change the terms of such agreements so as to have a dilutive effect on this Certificate of Designation (or any securities issued or issuable hereunder)); (4) the issuance of Common Stock (or options or other similar instruments convertible into Common Stock) to the Corporation’s management, directors or other service providers pursuant to compensation and incentive programs approved by the Board; and (5) the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to any registered offering of Common Stock or a private placement of Common Stock in accordance with the exemptions provided under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, each as principally for bona fide equity financing purposes; provided, however, that clause (5) of the definition of Excluded Issuance shall only be an Excluded Issuance for the purposes of Section 6.3(c) of this Certificate of Designation (and, for the avoidance of doubt, not an “Excluded Issuance” for any other purposes (including, without limitation, any anti-dilution adjustments in this Certificate of Designation)).

9.5 Expiration of Securities. Expiration of Securities. Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised options, warrants, or Convertible Securities or similar instruments exercisable or otherwise convertible or exchangeable for Applicable Shares (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Conversion Ratio, the Conversion Ratio shall be readjusted to such Conversion Ratio as would have been in effect had such options, warrants, or Convertible Securities or similar instruments exercisable or otherwise convertible or exchangeable for Applicable Shares (or portion thereof) never been issued.

9.6 Pre-emptive Rights.

(a) If the Corporation proposes to offer or sell any New Securities (as defined below), the Corporation shall first offer such New Securities to the holders of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock. The holder shall be entitled to participate in the such offering of New Securities (the “Offering”) on a pro rata basis, determined by dividing (i) the number of shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock, on as converted basis, held by the holder, by the (ii) total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at the time of such offering plus the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, on an as converted basis. The Corporation shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to the Purchaser, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such New Securities, (ii) the number of such New Securities to be offered, and (iii) the price and terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such New Securities, provided that if the New Securities are to be sold in an underwritten public offering, the price with respect to such New Securities shall be such public offering price that the Corporation anticipates in such offering, as determined by the Corporation in good faith at the time of the Offer Notice. The holder may elect by written notice delivered to the Corporation within two (2) Business Days, or, in the case of a registered offering, one (1) Business Day, of the date the Offer Notice is given to purchase or otherwise acquire, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, up to that portion of such New Securities which equals the proportion that shares of Common Stock then held by the holder (including all shares of Common Stock represented by Preferred Stock or other Convertible Securities) bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation then outstanding; provided that, if such holder elects to participate in the Offering pursuant to this Section 9.6, upon the request of the holder, the Corporation shall be required to extend the closing for the holder’s purchase of New Securities in the Offering to a date selected by such holder, which date shall be no later than the date that is ten (10) Business Days following the closing of the Offering.

(b) For the purposes of Section 9.6(a), “New Securities” shall mean any Securities other than (i) Common Stock or Convertible Securities to give effect to the transactions contemplated under the Securities Purchase Agreement and Credit Agreement; (ii) Common Stock, Convertible Securities, or Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options or restricted stock under the Corporation’s equity plans; (iii) Common Stock upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities; (iv) Common Stock issuable upon stock dividend or distribution, stock split, share subdivision, recapitalization, reclassification or similar transaction affecting the holders of Common Stock on a pro rata basis or (v) Common Stock issuable pursuant to the adjustments provided in Section 9 hereof and similar provisions contained in equity issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and Credit Agreement.

9.7 Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 9.7 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features) occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment to the Conversion Ratio so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 9.7; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 9.7 shall decrease the Conversion Ratio or decrease the Original Issue Price.

9.8 Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9.8 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 9.8, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

9.9 Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Ratio is adjusted as provided under this Section 9.9, the Corporation shall, as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires such adjustment (or if the Corporation is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as reasonably practicable after becoming so aware), provide a written notice to the holders of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock of the occurrence of such event and a statement in reasonable detail setting forth the method by which the adjustment to the applicable Conversion Ratio was determined and setting forth the adjusted applicable Conversion Ratio.

SECTION 10. NO RE-ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK. No shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock redeemed, purchased or acquired by the Corporation shall be reissued, and all such shares shall be canceled and eliminated from the shares the Corporation shall be authorized to issue.

SECTION 11. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Without the consent of a majority of holders of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock, the Corporation may amend or supplement this Certificate of Designation to make any change that would grant any additional rights or benefits to the holders of the Series B-[•] Preferred Stock or that does not affect the legal rights under this Certificate of Designation of any such holder.

SECTION 12. LOST OR MUTILATED SERIES B-[•] PREFERRED STOCK CERTIFICATE. If a holder’s Series B-[•] Preferred Stock certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the shares of Series B-[•] Preferred Stock so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, and of the ownership thereof, reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation and, in each case, customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a new certificate under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures as the Corporation may prescribe.

SECTION 13. NO IMPAIRMENT. The Corporation will not, by amendment of its Restated Certificate or Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Certificate of Designation and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the holders against impairment.

SECTION 14. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Certificate of Designation is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Certificate of Designation shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

SECTION 15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

15.1 Submission to Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute relating to a Closing Sale Price, Conversion Ratio, Original Issue Price, Redemption Price, Buy-In and fair market value or any other computation required to be made hereunder (each of the foregoing a “Disputed Calculation” and together the “Disputed Calculations”) or the arithmetic calculation of any of the foregoing (as the case may be) (including, without limitation, a dispute relating to the determination of any of the foregoing), the Corporation or the applicable holder (as the case may be) (the “Disputing Party”) shall notify the other party (the “Responding Party”) of the dispute via electronic mail (A) if by the Corporation, within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute or (B) if by such holder at any time after such holder learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If the Disputing Party and the Responding Party are unable to promptly resolve such dispute relating to such Disputed Calculation, or the arithmetic calculation of such Disputed Calculation (as the case may be), at any time after the fifth (5th) Business Day following such initial notice by the Disputing Party to the Responding Party, then the Disputing Party may select and submit to the Responding Party via electronic email a list of independent, reputable investment banks to resolve such dispute (the “Disputing Party’s Selection List”). If the Responding Party objects to all such independent, reputable investment banks included in the Disputing Party’s Selection List, then the Responding Party may submit to the Disputing Party via electronic mail an alternative list of independent, reputable investment banks (the “Responding Party’s Selection List”) within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the Disputing Party’s Selection List. If the Disputing Party objects to all such independent, reputable investment banks on the Responding Party’s Selection List, then the Disputing Party must notify the Responding Party via electronic mail of such objection within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the Responding Party’s Selection List (the “Selection Deadline”). Following which, each of the Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall select an independent, reputable investment bank within five (5) Business Days of the Selection Deadline (the “Alternative Selection Deadline”), and the two selected independent, reputable investment banks shall have five (5) Business Days from the Alternative Selection Deadline to select a third independent, reputable investment bank to resolve the dispute (the “Final Selection Deadline”). The Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall take all such reasonable steps necessary to jointly engage the appointed bank as shortly thereafter as reasonably possible, and in any event, within ten (10) Business Days of the Final Selection Deadline.

15.2 The Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall each deliver to the investment bank engaged pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 15.1 (A) a copy of the initial dispute submission so delivered in accordance with the first sentence of Section 15.1 and (B) written documentation supporting such respective party’s position with respect to such dispute, in each case, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) by the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the date on which such investment bank was engaged (the “Dispute Submission Deadline”) (the documents referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) are collectively referred to herein as the “Required Dispute Documentation”) (it being understood and agreed that if either the Disputing Party and the Responding Party fails to raise any claims in the Required Dispute Documentation it submits by the Dispute Submission Deadline, then the party who fails to raise such claim in the Required Dispute Documentation shall no longer be entitled to (and hereby waives its right to) raise such claim to such investment bank with respect to such dispute and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on the claims raised in the Required Dispute Documentation that was delivered to such investment bank prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline).

This Warrant is issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by that certain Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of June 21, 2024, among the Company, as the borrower, the guarantors party thereto, CCM Denali Debt Holdings, LP and various lenders party thereto and CCM Denali Debt Holdings, LP, as administrative and collateral agent (the “Credit Facility”).

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, Cerberus (together with any successor or permitted assignee or transferee of this Warrant or of any shares issued upon exercise hereof, “Holder”) is entitled to purchase the above-stated number of fully paid and non-assessable shares (the “Shares”) of the above- stated Type/Series of Stock (the “Class”) of the above-named company (the “Company”) at the above-stated Warrant Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to Section 3 of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant. Capitalized terms used in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement unless otherwise defined in the body of this Warrant or in Section 4.17 below.

SECTION 1. EXERCISE.

1.1 Method of Exercise. Holder may at any time and from time to time through the above-stated expiration date (the “Expiration Date”) exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, by (i) delivering to the Company the duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix 1 (a “Notice of Exercise”) (such date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the “Exercise Date”) and (ii) unless Holder is exercising this Warrant pursuant to a cashless exercise set forth in Section 1.3, payment of the aggregate above-stated warrant price (the “Warrant Price”) (by cash, check or wire transfer (to an account designated by the Company), or other form of payment acceptable to the Company) for the Shares being purchased.

1.2 Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the Share Delivery Date (as defined below):

(a) if the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) is not participating in The Depositary Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Transfer Program (“FAST”), the Company is not then required to have a Registration Statement (as defined below) available for the resale of Shares pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Company is otherwise unable to deliver (or to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) the Shares electronically without any restrictive legend pursuant to applicable securities laws upon the advice of counsel, shall fail to issue and deliver (or to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate (which may be an electronic book entry statement) for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Shares on the Company’s share register;

(b) if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST and the Company is not otherwise prohibited from delivering the Shares electronically without any restrictive legend pursuant to applicable securities laws upon the advice of counsel, shall fail to credit (or to cause the Transfer Agent to credit) the balance account of the Holder (or its designee) with DTC for such number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant; or

(c) if a registration statement meeting the requirements set forth in Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement and covering the resale (as provided for in Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement) of the Shares by the Holder (a “Registration Statement”) that are the subject of the Notice of Exercise (the “Unavailable Warrant Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares and a Registration Statement is then required to be available pursuant to the terms of Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement, shall fail to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement, so notify the Holder and deliver (or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) the Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s (or its designee’s) balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in this clause (b) is herein referred as a “Notice Failure”; and each of the events described in the foregoing clause (a) and this clause (b) is herein referred to as a “Delivery Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Date and for so long as such Delivery Failure is continuing an amount equal to 2.0% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Shares not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Exercise Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Notice of Exercise with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Notice of Exercise (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as to the Shares that were the subject of such voided Notice of Exercise); provided, however, that the voiding of a Notice of Exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued up to but excluding the date of such notice of voiding pursuant to this Section 1.2 or otherwise.

(d) In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Date either (I) (a) the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST and the Company is not then required to have a Registration Statement available for the resale of Shares pursuant to the terms of Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement, and the Company shall fail to issue and deliver (or to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate (or electronic book entry statement) and register such Shares on the Company’s share register, or, (b) if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST or the Company is then required to have a Registration Statement available for the resale of Shares pursuant to the terms of Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall fail (or shall fail to cause to the Transfer Agent) to credit the balance account of the Holder (or its designee) with DTC for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below or (II) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Share Delivery Date the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of the Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of Shares issuable upon such exercise (i.e., equivalent to the Shares in respect of which an exercise has been made) that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from

the Company in connection with such Delivery Failure or Notice Failure, as applicable, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either

(i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of the Common stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or certificates (which may be an electronic book entry statement or statements) representing such Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder (or its designee)with DTC for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder and to issue such Shares (as the case may be) shall terminate, or

(ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates (which may be an electronic book entry statement or statements) representing such Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder (or its designee) with DTC for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Shares multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (ii).

Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing the Shares (or to electronically deliver such Shares) upon the exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. In addition to the foregoing rights, (I) if the Company fails to deliver the applicable number of Shares upon an exercise pursuant to Section 1 by the applicable Share Delivery Date, then the Holder shall have the right to rescind such exercise in whole or in part and retain and/or have the Company return, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Notice of Exercise (including the Shares that were the subject of such rescinded exercise); provided, however that the rescission of an exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1.2 or otherwise, and (II) if a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Shares that are subject to a Notice of Exercise is not available, but is then required to be available pursuant to Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement for the resale of such Shares, and the Holder has submitted a Notice of Exercise prior to receiving notice of the non-availability of such Registration Statement and the Company has not already delivered the Shares underlying such Notice of Exercise electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s (or its designee’s) balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, the Holder shall have the option, by delivery of notice to the Company, to (x) rescind such Notice of Exercise in whole or in part and retain and/or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Notice of Exercise (including the Shares that were the subject of such rescinded exercise); provided, however, that the rescission of a Notice of Exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued up to but excluding the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1.2 or otherwise, and/or (y) switch some or all of such Notice of Exercise from a cash exercise to a Cashless Exercise.

1.3 Cashless Exercise. On any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Warrant Price in the manner as specified in Section 1.1 above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1, Holder shall have the right to elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant, or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is being exercised (“Cashless Exercise”). Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares as are computed using the following formula:

X

=

(Y(A-B))/A

where:

X	=	the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder;
Y	=	the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Shares surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Warrant Price);
A	=	the fair market value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.4 below) of one Share; and
B	=	the Warrant Price.

If the Shares are issued in a Cashless Exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Shares take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the above-stated Issue Date (the “Issue Date”), it is intended that the Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and Credit Facility.

1.4 Fair Market Value.

(a) If the Common Stock is then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market, the fair market value of a Share shall be the lesser of (i) the closing price or last sale price of a share of Common Stock reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company or (ii) the average closing price or last sale price of the Common Stock reported for the five (5) Business Days immediately before the date on which Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company (or, if the Shares have not been actively trading during the five (5) business days prior to the applicable date of determination, the last sale price of the Common Stock for the Business Day immediately prior to the applicable date of determination).

(b) If the fair market value cannot be calculated for a security as of the particular time of determination on any of the foregoing bases, the fair market value of such security as of such time of determination shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder.

(c) In the case of any dispute as to the determination of fair market value as determined in accordance with this Section 1.4, any closing price or sales price of the Shares, the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Price or the number of Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable, or any other computation required to be made hereunder (each a “Disputed Calculation”), the Company or the holder (as the case may be) (the “Disputing Party”) shall notify the other party (the “Responding Party”) of the dispute via electronic mail (A) if by the Company, within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute or (B) if by such holder at any time after such holder learned of the circumstances giving risk to such dispute. If the Disputing Party and the Responding Party are unable to properly resolve such dispute relating to such Disputed Calculation, or the arithmetic calculation of such Disputed Calculation (as the case may be), at any time after the fifth (5th) Business Days following such initial notice by the Disputing Party to the Responding Party, then the Disputing Party may select and submit to the Responding Party via electronic email a list of independent reputable investment banks to resolve such dispute (the “Disputing Party’s Selection List”). If the Responding Party objects to all such independent, reputable investment banks included in the Disputing Party’s Selection List, then the Responding Party may submit to the Disputing Party via electronic mail an alternative list of an independent, reputable investment banks (the “Responding Party’s Selection List”) within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the Disputing Party’s Selection List. If the Disputing Party objects to all such independent, reputable investment banks on the Responding Party’s Selection List, then the Disputing Party must notify the Responding Party via electronic mail of such objection within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the Responding Party’s Selection List (the “Selection Deadline”). Following which, each of the Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall select an independent, reputable investment bank within five (5) Business Days of the Selection Deadline (the “Alternative Selection Deadline”), and the two selected independent, reputable investment banks shall have five (5) Business Days from the Alternative Selection Deadline to select a third independent, reputable investment bank to resolve the dispute (the “Final Selection Deadline”). The Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall take all such reasonable steps necessary to jointly engage the appointed bank as shortly thereafter as reasonably possible, and in any event, within ten (10) Business Days of the selection.

(i) The Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall each deliver to the investment bank engaged pursuant to the procedures of Section 1.4(c) (A) a copy of the initial dispute submission so delivered in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 1.4(c) and (B) written documentation supporting such respective party’s position with respect to such dispute, in each case, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) by the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the date on which such investment bank was engaged (the “Dispute Submission Deadline”) (the documents referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) are collectively referred to herein as the “Required Dispute Documentation”) (it being understood and agreed that if either the Disputing Party and the Responding Party fails to raise any claims in the Required Dispute Documentation it submits by the Dispute Submission Deadline, then the party who fails to raise such claim in the Required Dispute Documentation shall no longer be entitled to (and hereby waives its right to) raise such claim to such investment bank

with respect to such dispute and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on claims raise in the Required Dispute Documentation that was delivered to such Third-Party Advisor prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the Disputing Party and the Responding Party or otherwise requested by such investment bank, neither the Disputing Party nor the Responding Party shall be entitled to deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such Third-Party Advisor in connection with such dispute (other than the Required Dispute Documentation).

(ii) The Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the investment bank engaged pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) to determine the resolution of such dispute and notify the Disputing Party and the Responding Party of such resolution no later than ten (10) Business Days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline. Such investment bank’s determination of such disputed matter(s) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. The fees and expenses of such investment bank shall be borne solely by the Company.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.4(c), nothing in this Section 1.4(c) shall limit a holder’s right to pursue any and all remedies available to it, at law, in equity or otherwise, including, without limitation, any action seeking the entry of an order specifically enforcing the terms and conditions hereof, granting injunctive relief and/or awarding damages arising from any breach or threatened breach of this Section 1.4(c) or any other Section hereof. Any holder may choose to seek an alternative remedy in lieu of or in addition to effectuating the dispute resolution procedures provided in this Section 1.4(c) by providing written notice to the Corporation of its intent to do so at any time prior to the Selection Deadline.

1.5 Delivery of Shares. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of a Notice of Exercise with respect to less than all of the Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant (for the avoidance of doubt, containing the same terms, rights and conditions, as would be contained in a Warrant issued in compliance with Section 1.7) evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Shares underlying the Warrant. Execution and delivery of a Notice of Exercise for all of the then-remaining Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.

On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received a Notice of Exercise, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Notice of Exercise, in the form attached hereto as Appendix 2, to the Holder. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received such Notice of Exercise (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Shares initiated on the applicable Exercise Date), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST and the Company is not otherwise prohibited from delivering the Shares electronically without any restrictive legend pursuant to applicable securities laws upon advice of counsel, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s (or its designee’s) balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST and the Company is otherwise unable to deliver the Shares electronically without any restrictive legend pursuant to applicable securities laws upon the advice of counsel, upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier or electronic mail, as applicable) to the address as specified in the Notice of Exercise, a certificate (which may be an electronic book entry statement), registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of a Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates (or electronic book entry statements) evidencing such Shares (as the case may be). Notwithstanding that the Holder shall not be required to deliver or submit this Warrant in order effectuate an exercise, if the original of this Warrant is submitted in connection with an exercise pursuant to this Section 1 and the number of Shares represented by this Warrant is greater than the number of Shares being acquired upon such exercise and submission of this Warrant to the Company by the Holder, then, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after such exercise and submission and at the Company’s own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 1.7) representing the right to purchase a number of Shares equal to (i) the number of Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less (ii) the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is so exercised. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance

and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company’s failure to deliver Shares to the Holder on or prior to the later of (i) one (1) Trading Day after receipt of the applicable Notice of Exercise (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the Exchange Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Shares initiated on the applicable Exercise Date) and (ii) one (1) Trading Day after the Company’s receipt of the aggregate Warrant Price (or valid notice of a Cashless Exercise) (such later date, the “Share Delivery Date”) shall be a breach of this Warrant. From the Issue Date through and including the Expiration Date, the Company shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in FAST.

1.6 Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount in accordance with Section 1.7 below.

1.7 Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant (whether to the Holder or a transferee thereof), such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 1.6 or Section 4.5, the Shares underlying this Warrant designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of Shares underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issue Date, and (iv) shall have the same terms, rights and conditions as this Warrant.

1.8 Reservation of Shares.

(a) Required Reserve Amount. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock that is not less than 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under all of the Warrants (the “SPA Warrants”) then outstanding or issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Credit Facility (without regard to any limitations on exercise) (the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided, however, that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 1.8 be reduced other than proportionally to the number of Shares delivered in connection with any exercise of the SPA Warrants or such other event covered by Section 3.

(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 1.8(a), and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the SPA Warrants remain outstanding, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock such that the Company shall have sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock in order to enable the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then outstanding. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors (the “Board”) to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of two-thirds of the shares of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock in order to enable the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then outstanding, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the Commission an Information Statement on Schedule 14C. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock upon an exercise of this Warrant due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common

Stock, the “Authorization Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorization Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the cancellation of such portion of this Warrant exercisable into such Authorization Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorization Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Notice of Exercise with respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 1.8(b); plus (ii) to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Authorization Failure Shares, any Buy-In Price payment amount, brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith. Nothing contained in this Section 1.8(b) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement. An Authorized Share Failure which remains uncured for more than thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days shall be an “Event of Default” under the Credit Facility.

1.9 Voting in Director Elections. At all times when the holders of preferred stock issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement have a right to appoint at least one (1) director, Holder agrees not to vote any shares of Common Stock it receives upon exercise of this Warrant in any election of directors.

SECTION 2. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

2.1 Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3 below, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Cap (as defined below)) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties (as defined below) exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Cap, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of such excess of the Beneficial Ownership Cap (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Cap, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

2.2 Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2 pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the Warrant Price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction). Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued

upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 2.1, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section 2 hereof, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 2.2 to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 2.1, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) (the “Corporate Event Consideration”). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.

2.3 Acceleration Redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing and the provisions of Section 2.2 above, at the request of the Holder delivered at any time after the occurrence of an acceleration under the Credit Facility, the Company or the Successor Entity (as the case may be) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder on the date of such request by paying to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the Closing Sale Price on the date of such request less the Warrant Price.

2.4 Equity Issuance Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not issue to any Holder, and no Holder may acquire, a number of shares of Common Stock upon any exercise of this Warrant to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (including shares held by any “group” of which such Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of any securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) (collectively, the “Attribution Parties”) (i) prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Credit Facility), would exceed 19.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding as of the Initial Funding Date and (ii) and following receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, would exceed 49.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (such percentage limits on the shares of Common Stock pursuant to (i) and (ii), the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”); provided, however, that the Beneficial Ownership Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by written notice to the Company, upon receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, any Holder may amend the Beneficial Ownership Cap percentage with respect to such Holder to any percentage that is lower than or equal to 49.9%. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the percentage held by any Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of a Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) trading days, confirm orally and in writing (which may be by e-mail) to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any actual conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including Series B Preferred Stock (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and SPA Warrants, by such Holder or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported or confirmed to the Holder.

SECTION 3. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.

3.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the Class payable in Common Stock or other securities or property (including in the form of cash), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property (including cash) which Holder would have received had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased, provided the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares shall remain the same. If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased, provided the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares shall remain the same.

3.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Class are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, provided the aggregate Warrant Price of the Shares shall remain the same and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 3.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations, substitutions, replacements or other similar events.

3.3 Adjustment for Issuance of Applicable Shares.

(a) Subject to the requirements of Section 3.3(b) below, if the Company shall issue or sell any Shares (other than shares included in the Excluded Issuances, as defined below) (the “Applicable Shares”), Options, warrants, Convertible Securities and similar instruments exercisable or otherwise convertible or exchangeable for Applicable Shares, in each case without consideration or for a consideration per Share initially deliverable upon issuance, conversion or exchange of such securities less than the quotient of (x) the product of (i) the fair market value (as calculated in accordance with Section 1.4) of the Common Stock on the Issue Date (as proportionately adjusted to account for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or other distributions and recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock) (the “Original Price”) multiplied by (ii) the number Shares originally issuable upon exercise of this Warrant on the Issue Date (as adjusted to account for any transfers or exercises of this Warrant and as proportionately adjusted to account for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or other distributions and recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock) divided by (y) the number of Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (the “Original Issue Price Per Share”), then, effective immediately upon such issuance or sale, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such issuance or sale shall be increased (such number of additional Shares, the “Anti-dilution Shares”), and shall not be reduced, in accordance with the following formula:

S1 = S x [(OS + D) / (OS + PS)]

S1	=	new number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
S	=	then applicable number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the issuance or sale
OS	=	the number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such securities
D	=	the maximum number of Shares deliverable upon issuance of such securities
PS	=	the aggregate number of Shares which the aggregate amount of consideration received by the Company upon such issuance or sale would have purchased at the Original Issue Price Per Share.

(b) Prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall not be increased by Anti-dilution Shares in connection with any issuance or sale, however, provided, that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Series A-1 Liquidation Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designations for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock) of all of the outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be increased by the number of Anti-Dilution Shares that would otherwise be required to be added to the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant by this Section 3.3 in connection with such issuance or sale.

(c) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Options, warrants, Convertible Securities and similar instruments exercisable or otherwise convertible or exchangeable for Applicable Shares (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares issuable under this Warrant shall be readjusted to such number of shares as would have been issuable had such Options, warrants, Convertible Securities and similar instruments exercisable or otherwise convertible or exchangeable for Applicable Shares (or portion thereof) never been issued.

3.4 Exceptions to Adjustments. Except as specifically provided for herein, there shall be no adjustment or readjustment to the number of Shares issuable in the following circumstances (each of the following, an “Excluded Issuance”): (1) securities issued to the Company’s lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement or Securities Purchase Agreement or upon the conversion of preferred stock issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement or Securities Purchase Agreement or the exercise of this Warrant or any of the other SPA Warrants; (2) upon conversion, exercise or exchange of securities, including convertible debt securities and convertible debt securities issued as payment-in-kind interest thereon, outstanding prior to the Initial Closing Date (as defined in the Credit Facility); (3) pursuant to agreements in effect as of the Initial Closing Date (provided that such agreements are not amended after the Initial Closing Date to increase the number of securities, reduce the consideration payable in connection with such securities, or otherwise change the terms of such agreements so as to have a dilutive effect on this Warrant); and (4) pursuant to the Company’s management, directors or other service providers as part of compensation and incentive programs approved by the Board.

3.5 Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3.5 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features that is not an Excluded Issuance) occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 3; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall increase the Warrant Price or decrease the number of the Shares issuable hereunder.

3.6 No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (a) the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.4 above) of a full Share, less (b) the then-effective Warrant Price.

3.7 Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares, the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall notify Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from Holder, furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price, Class and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.

SECTION 4. MISCELLANEOUS.

4.1 (a) Term and Automatic Conversion Upon Expiration. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2 above, this Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on or before 5:00 P.M. Eastern time, on the Expiration Date and shall be void thereafter.

(b) Automatic Cashless Exercise upon Expiration. In the event that, upon the Expiration Date, the fair market value of one Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.4 above is greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.3 above as to all Shares (or such

other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised, and the Company shall, within a reasonable time, deliver a certificate representing the Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to Holder (and if the Company’s shares are uncertificated, the Company shall deliver reasonably satisfactory evidence to the Holder signifying the valid issuance of such uncertificated shares) in accordance with Section 1.5 above.

4.2 Legends. The Shares (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THAT CERTAIN WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK ISSUED BY THE ISSUER TO CCM DENALI EQUITY HOLDINGS, LP DATED , MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SAID ACT AND LAWS OR IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, SUCH OFFER, SALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.

4.3 Compliance with Securities Laws on Transfer. This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including, without limitation, the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company). The Company shall not require Holder to provide an opinion of counsel if the transfer is to any Affiliate of Holder, provided that any such transferee is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act. Additionally, the Company shall also not require an opinion of counsel if there is no material question as to the availability of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, provided that, Holder represents that it has complied with Rule 144 in reasonable detail, the selling broker represents that it has complied with Rule 144, and the Company is provided with a copy of Holder’s proposed notice of sale.

4.4 No Impairment; Further Assurances. The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, each as in effect as of the Issue Date, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by Holder in order to protect the exercise privilege of Holder against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant. The Company (i) will not increase the par value of any Shares above the Warrant Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.

4.5 Transfer Procedure. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3 and upon providing the Company with written notice, Holder may transfer all or part of this Warrant or the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or the securities issuable directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) to any transferee, provided, however, in connection with any such transfer, Holder will give the Company notice of the portion of the Warrant being transferred with the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee and Holder will surrender this Warrant to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and Holder if applicable); and provided further, that any subsequent transferee shall make to the Company each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement and agree in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Warrant.

4.6 Binding on Successors. This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

4.7 Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes (other than taxes based upon income) and other lock-up governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the issuance or delivery of the Shares, other than any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of the Shares in a name other than that of the Holder.

4.8 Notices.

Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

4.17 Certain Definitions.

(a) “Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any other Person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person, it being understood for purposes of this definition that “control” of a Person means the power directly or indirectly either to vote 10% or more of the stock having ordinary voting power for the election of directors of such Person or direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person whether by contract or otherwise.

1.2 Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the Share Delivery Date (as defined below):

(a) if the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) is not participating in The Depositary Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Transfer Program (“FAST”), the Company is not then required to have a Registration Statement (as defined below) available for the resale of Shares pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Company is otherwise unable to deliver (or to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) the Shares electronically without any restrictive legend pursuant to applicable securities laws upon the advice of counsel, shall fail to issue and deliver (or to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate (which may be an electronic book entry statement) for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Shares on the Company’s share register;

(b) if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST and the Company is not otherwise prohibited from delivering the Shares electronically without any restrictive legend pursuant to applicable securities laws upon the advice of counsel, shall fail to credit (or to cause the Transfer Agent to credit) the balance account of the Holder (or its designee) with DTC for such number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant; or

(c) if a registration statement meeting the requirements set forth in Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement and covering the resale (as provided for in Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement) of the Shares by the Holder (a “Registration Statement”) that are the subject of the Notice of Exercise (the “Unavailable Warrant Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares and a Registration Statement is then required to be available pursuant to the terms of Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement, shall fail to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement, so notify the Holder and deliver (or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) the Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s (or its designee’s) balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in this clause (b) is herein referred as a “Notice Failure”; and each of the events described in the foregoing clause (a) and this clause (b) is herein referred to as a “Delivery Failure”),

then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Date and for so long as such Delivery Failure is continuing an amount equal to 2.0% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Shares not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Exercise Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Notice of Exercise with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Notice of Exercise (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as to the Shares that were the subject of such voided Notice of Exercise); provided, however, that the voiding of a Notice of Exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued up to but excluding the date of such notice of voiding pursuant to this Section 1.2 or otherwise.

(d) In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Date either (I) (a) the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST and the Company is not then required to have a Registration Statement available for the resale of Shares pursuant to the terms of Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement, and the Company shall fail to issue and deliver (or to cause the Transfer Agent to deliver) to the Holder (or its designee) a

certificate (or electronic book entry statement) and register such Shares on the Company’s share register, or, (b) if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST or the Company is then required to have a Registration Statement available for the resale of Shares pursuant to the terms of Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall fail (or shall fail to cause to the Transfer Agent) to credit the balance account of the Holder (or its designee) with DTC for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below or (II) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Share Delivery Date the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of the Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of Shares issuable upon such exercise (i.e., equivalent to the Shares in respect of which an exercise has been made) that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Delivery Failure or Notice Failure, as applicable, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either

(i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of the Common stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or certificates (which may be an electronic book entry statement or statements) representing such Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder (or its designee)with DTC for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder and to issue such Shares (as the case may be) shall terminate, or

(ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates (which may be an electronic book entry statement or statements) representing such Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder (or its designee) with DTC for the number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Shares multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (ii).

Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing the Shares (or to electronically deliver such Shares) upon the exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. In addition to the foregoing rights, (I) if the Company fails to deliver the applicable number of Shares upon an exercise pursuant to Section 1 by the applicable Share Delivery Date, then the Holder shall have the right to rescind such exercise in whole or in part and retain and/or have the Company return, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Notice of Exercise (including the Shares that were the subject of such rescinded exercise); provided, however that the rescission of an exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1.2 or otherwise, and (II) if a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Shares that are subject to a Notice of Exercise is not available, but is then required to be available pursuant to Annex A of the Securities Purchase Agreement for the resale of such Shares, and the Holder has submitted a Notice of Exercise prior to receiving notice of the non-availability of such Registration Statement and the Company has not already delivered the Shares underlying such Notice of Exercise electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s (or its designee’s) balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, the Holder shall have the option, by delivery of notice to the Company, to (x) rescind such Notice of Exercise in whole or in part and retain and/or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Notice of Exercise (including the Shares that were the subject of such rescinded exercise); provided, however, that the rescission of a Notice of Exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued up to but excluding the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1.2 or otherwise, and/or (y) switch some or all of such Notice of Exercise from a cash exercise to a Cashless Exercise.

1.3 Cashless Exercise. On any exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of payment of the aggregate Warrant Price in the manner as specified in Section 1.1 above, but otherwise in accordance with the requirements of Section 1.1, Holder shall have the right to elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant, or portion hereof as to which this Warrant is being exercised (“Cashless Exercise”). Thereupon, the Company shall issue to the Holder such number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares as are computed using the following formula:

	X =	(Y(A-B))/A
where:
	X =	the number of Shares to be issued to the Holder;
	Y =	the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the Shares surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Warrant Price);
	A =	the fair market value (as determined pursuant to Section 1.4 below) of one Share; and
	B =	the Warrant Price.

If the Shares are issued in a Cashless Exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Shares take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the Securities Act, as in effect on the above-stated Issue Date (the “Issue Date”), it is intended that the Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and Credit Facility.

1.4 Fair Market Value.

(a) If the Common Stock is then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market, the fair market value of a Share shall be the lesser of (i) the closing price or last sale price of a share of Common Stock reported for the Business Day immediately before the date on which Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company or (ii) the average closing price or last sale price of the Common Stock reported for the five (5) Business Days immediately before the date on which Holder delivers its Notice of Exercise to the Company (or, if the Shares have not been actively trading during the five (5) business days prior to the applicable date of determination, the last sale price of the Common Stock for the Business Day immediately prior to the applicable date of determination).

(b) If the fair market value cannot be calculated for a security as of the particular time of determination on any of the foregoing bases, the fair market value of such security as of such time of determination shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Holder.

(c) In the case of any dispute as to the determination of fair market value as determined in accordance with this Section 1.4, any closing price or sales price of the Shares, the arithmetic calculation of the Warrant Price or the number of Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable, or any other computation required to be made hereunder (each a “Disputed Calculation”), the Company or the holder (as the case may be) (the “Disputing Party”) shall notify the other party (the “Responding Party”) of the dispute via electronic mail (A) if by the Company, within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute or (B) if by such holder at any time after such holder learned of the circumstances giving risk to such dispute. If the Disputing Party and the Responding Party are unable to properly resolve such dispute relating to such Disputed Calculation, or the arithmetic calculation of such Disputed Calculation (as the case may be), at any time after the fifth (5th) Business Days following such initial notice by the Disputing Party to the Responding Party, then the Disputing Party may select and submit to the Responding Party via electronic email a list of independent reputable investment banks to resolve such dispute (the “Disputing Party’s Selection List”). If the Responding Party objects to all such independent, reputable investment banks included in the Disputing Party’s Selection List, then the Responding Party may submit to the Disputing Party via electronic mail an alternative list of an independent, reputable investment banks (the “Responding Party’s Selection List”) within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the Disputing Party’s Selection List. If the Disputing Party objects to all such independent, reputable investment banks on the Responding Party’s Selection List, then the Disputing Party must notify the Responding Party via electronic mail of such objection within ten (10) Business Days of receiving the Responding Party’s Selection List (the “Selection Deadline”). Following which, each

of the Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall select an independent, reputable investment bank within five (5) Business Days of the Selection Deadline (the “Alternative Selection Deadline”), and the two selected independent, reputable investment banks shall have five (5) Business Days from the Alternative Selection Deadline to select a third independent, reputable investment bank to resolve the dispute (the “Final Selection Deadline”). The Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall take all such reasonable steps necessary to jointly engage the appointed bank as shortly thereafter as reasonably possible, and in any event, within ten (10) Business Days of the selection.

(i) The Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall each deliver to the investment bank engaged pursuant to the procedures of Section 1.4(c) (A) a copy of the initial dispute submission so delivered in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 1.4(c) and (B) written documentation supporting such respective party’s position with respect to such dispute, in each case, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) by the fifth (5th) Business Day immediately following the date on which such investment bank was engaged (the “Dispute Submission Deadline”) (the documents referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) are collectively referred to herein as the “Required Dispute Documentation”) (it being understood and agreed that if either the Disputing Party and the Responding Party fails to raise any claims in the Required Dispute Documentation it submits by the Dispute Submission Deadline, then the party who fails to raise such claim in the Required Dispute Documentation shall no longer be entitled to (and hereby waives its right to) raise such claim to such investment bank with respect to such dispute and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on claims raise in the Required Dispute Documentation that was delivered to such Third-Party Advisor prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the Disputing Party and the Responding Party or otherwise requested by such investment bank, neither the Disputing Party nor the Responding Party shall be entitled to deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such Third-Party Advisor in connection with such dispute (other than the Required Dispute Documentation).

(ii) The Disputing Party and the Responding Party shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the investment bank engaged pursuant to this Section 1.4(c) to determine the resolution of such dispute and notify the Disputing Party and the Responding Party of such resolution no later than ten (10) Business Days immediately following the Dispute Submission Deadline. Such investment bank’s determination of such disputed matter(s) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. The fees and expenses of such investment bank shall be borne solely by the Company.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.4(c), nothing in this Section 1.4(c) shall limit a holder’s right to pursue any and all remedies available to it, at law, in equity or otherwise, including, without limitation, any action seeking the entry of an order specifically enforcing the terms and conditions hereof, granting injunctive relief and/or awarding damages arising from any breach or threatened breach of this Section 1.4(c) or any other Section hereof. Any holder may choose to seek an alternative remedy in lieu of or in addition to effectuating the dispute resolution procedures provided in this Section 1.4(c) by providing written notice to the Corporation of its intent to do so at any time prior to the Selection Deadline.

1.5 Delivery of Shares. The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of a Notice of Exercise with respect to less than all of the Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant (for the avoidance of doubt, containing the same terms, rights and conditions, as would be contained in a Warrant issued in compliance with Section 1.7) evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Shares underlying the Warrant. Execution and delivery of a Notice of Exercise for all of the then-remaining Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.

On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received a Notice of Exercise, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Notice of Exercise, in the form attached hereto as Appendix 2, to the Holder. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received such Notice of Exercise (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Shares initiated on the applicable Exercise Date), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST and the Company is not otherwise prohibited from delivering the Shares electronically without any restrictive legend pursuant to applicable securities laws upon advice of counsel, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s (or its designee’s) balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system,

or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST and the Company is otherwise unable to deliver the Shares electronically without any restrictive legend pursuant to applicable securities laws upon the advice of counsel, upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier or electronic mail, as applicable) to the address as specified in the Notice of Exercise, a certificate (which may be an electronic book entry statement), registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of a Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates (or electronic book entry statements) evidencing such Shares (as the case may be). Notwithstanding that the Holder shall not be required to deliver or submit this Warrant in order effectuate an exercise, if the original of this Warrant is submitted in connection with an exercise pursuant to this Section 1 and the number of Shares represented by this Warrant is greater than the number of Shares being acquired upon such exercise and submission of this Warrant to the Company by the Holder, then, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after such exercise and submission and at the Company’s own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 1.7) representing the right to purchase a number of Shares equal to (i) the number of Shares purchasable pursuant to this Warrant immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less (ii) the number of Shares with respect to which this Warrant is so exercised. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. The Company’s failure to deliver Shares to the Holder on or prior to the later of (i) one (1) Trading Day after receipt of the applicable Notice of Exercise (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the Exchange Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Shares initiated on the applicable Exercise Date) and (ii) one (1) Trading Day after the Company’s receipt of the aggregate Warrant Price (or valid notice of a Cashless Exercise) (such later date, the “Share Delivery Date”) shall be a breach of this Warrant. From the Issue Date through and including the Expiration Date, the Company shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in FAST.

1.6 Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form, substance and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender of this Warrant to the Company for cancellation, the Company shall, within a reasonable time, execute and deliver to Holder, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount in accordance with Section 1.7 below.

1.7 Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant (whether to the Holder or a transferee thereof), such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 1.6 or Section 4.5, the Shares underlying this Warrant designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of Shares underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issue Date, and (iv) shall have the same terms, rights and conditions as this Warrant.

1.8 Reservation of Shares.

(a) Required Reserve Amount. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock that is not less than 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under all of the Warrants (the “SPA Warrants”) then outstanding or issuable pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Credit Facility (without regard to any limitations on exercise) (the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided, however, that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 1.8 be reduced other than proportionally to the number of Shares delivered in connection with any exercise of the SPA Warrants or such other event covered by Section 3.

(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 1.8(a), and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the SPA Warrants remain outstanding, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the

Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock such that the Company shall have sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock in order to enable the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then outstanding. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors (the “Board”) to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of two-thirds of the shares of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock in order to enable the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then outstanding, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the Commission an Information Statement on Schedule 14C. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock upon an exercise of this Warrant due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorization Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorization Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the cancellation of such portion of this Warrant exercisable into such Authorization Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorization Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Notice of Exercise with respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 1.8(b); plus (ii) to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Authorization Failure Shares, any Buy-In Price payment amount, brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith. Nothing contained in this Section 1.8(b) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement. An Authorized Share Failure which remains uncured for more than thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days shall be an “Event of Default” under the Credit Facility.

1.9 Voting in Director Elections. At all times when the holders of preferred stock issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement have a right to appoint at least one (1) director, Holder agrees not to vote any shares of Common Stock it receives upon exercise of this Warrant in any election of directors.

SECTION 2. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

2.1 Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3 below, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Cap (as defined below)) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties (as defined below) exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Cap, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of such excess of the Beneficial Ownership Cap (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Cap, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

2.2 Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2 pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the Warrant Price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction). Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 2.1, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section 2 hereof, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 2.2 to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 3 and 2.1, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) (the “Corporate Event Consideration”). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.

2.3 Acceleration Redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing and the provisions of Section 2.2 above, at the request of the Holder delivered at any time after the occurrence of an acceleration under the Credit Facility, the Company or the Successor Entity (as the case may be) shall purchase this Warrant from the Holder on the date of such request by paying to the Holder cash in an amount equal to the Closing Sale Price on the date of such request less the Warrant Price.

2.4 Equity Issuance Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not issue to any Holder, and no Holder may acquire, a number of shares of Common Stock upon any exercise of this Warrant to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (including shares held by any “group” of which such Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of any securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein)

(collectively, the “Attribution Parties”) (i) prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval (as defined in the Credit Facility), would exceed 19.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding as of the Initial Funding Date and (ii) and following receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, would exceed 49.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (such percentage limits on the shares of Common Stock pursuant to (i) and (ii), the “Beneficial Ownership Cap”); provided, however, that the Beneficial Ownership Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by written notice to the Company, upon receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, any Holder may amend the Beneficial Ownership Cap percentage with respect to such Holder to any percentage that is lower than or equal to 49.9%. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the percentage held by any Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of a Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) trading days, confirm orally and in writing (which may be by e-mail) to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any actual conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including Series B Preferred Stock (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and SPA Warrants, by such Holder or its Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported or confirmed to the Holder.

SECTION 3. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND WARRANT PRICE.

3.1 Stock Dividends, Splits, Etc. If the Company declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of the Class payable in Common Stock or other securities or property (including in the form of cash), then upon exercise of this Warrant, for each Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property (including cash) which Holder would have received had Holder owned the Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. If the Company subdivides the outstanding shares of the Class by reclassification or otherwise into a greater number of shares, the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased, provided the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares shall remain the same. If the outstanding shares of the Class are combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares, the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased and the number of Shares shall be proportionately decreased, provided the aggregate Warrant Price for the Shares shall remain the same.

3.2 Reclassification, Exchange, Combinations or Substitution. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Class are reclassified, exchanged, combined, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by Company securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, this Warrant will be exercisable for the number, class and series of Company securities that Holder would have received had the Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, provided the aggregate Warrant Price of the Shares shall remain the same and subject to further adjustment thereafter from time to time in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 3.2 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations, substitutions, replacements or other similar events.

3.3 Adjustment for Issuance of Applicable Shares.

(a) Subject to the requirements of Section 3.3(b) below, if the Company shall issue or sell any Shares (other than shares included in the Excluded Issuances, as defined below) (the “Applicable Shares”), Options, warrants, Convertible Securities and similar instruments exercisable or otherwise convertible or exchangeable for Applicable Shares, in each case without consideration or for a consideration per Share initially deliverable upon issuance, conversion or exchange of such securities less than the quotient of (x) the product of (i) the fair market value (as calculated in accordance with Section 1.4) of the Common Stock on the Issue Date (as proportionately adjusted to account for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or other distributions and recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock) (the “Original Price”) multiplied by (ii) the number Shares originally issuable upon exercise of this Warrant on the Issue Date (as adjusted to account for any transfers or exercises of this Warrant and as proportionately adjusted to account for stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends or other distributions and recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock) divided by (y) the number of Shares then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant

(the “Original Issue Price Per Share”), then, effective immediately upon such issuance or sale, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to any such issuance or sale shall be increased (such number of additional Shares, the “Anti-dilution Shares”), and shall not be reduced, in accordance with the following formula:

		S1 = S x [(OS + D) / (OS + PS)]
		S1 =		new number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
		S =		then applicable number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to the issuance or sale
		OS =		the number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such securities
		D =		the maximum number of Shares deliverable upon issuance of such securities
		PS =		the aggregate number of Shares which the aggregate amount of consideration received by the Company upon such issuance or sale would have purchased at the Original Issue Price Per Share.

(b) Prior to the receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approval, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall not be increased by Anti-dilution Shares in connection with any issuance or sale, however, provided, that the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Series A-1 Liquidation Value (as defined in the Certificate of Designations for the Series A-1 Preferred Stock) of all of the outstanding shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall be increased by the number of Anti-Dilution Shares that would otherwise be required to be added to the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant by this Section 3.3 in connection with such issuance or sale.

(c) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Options, warrants, Convertible Securities and similar instruments exercisable or otherwise convertible or exchangeable for Applicable Shares (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares issuable under this Warrant shall be readjusted to such number of shares as would have been issuable had such Options, warrants, Convertible Securities and similar instruments exercisable or otherwise convertible or exchangeable for Applicable Shares (or portion thereof) never been issued.

3.4 Exceptions to Adjustments. Except as specifically provided for herein, there shall be no adjustment or readjustment to the number of Shares issuable in the following circumstances (each of the following, an “Excluded Issuance”): (1) securities issued to the Company’s lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement or Securities Purchase Agreement or upon the conversion of preferred stock issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement or Securities Purchase Agreement or the exercise of this Warrant or any of the other SPA Warrants; (2) upon conversion, exercise or exchange of securities, including convertible debt securities and convertible debt securities issued as payment-in-kind interest thereon, outstanding prior to the Initial Closing Date (as defined in the Credit Facility); (3) pursuant to agreements in effect as of the Initial Closing Date (provided that such agreements are not amended after the Initial Closing Date to increase the number of securities, reduce the consideration payable in connection with such securities, or otherwise change the terms of such agreements so as to have a dilutive effect on this Warrant); and (4) pursuant to the Company’s management, directors or other service providers as part of compensation and incentive programs approved by the Board.

3.5 Certain Events. If any event of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3.5 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features that is not an Excluded Issuance) occurs, then the Board shall make an appropriate adjustment in the number of the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the Holder in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 3; provided, that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall increase the Warrant Price or decrease the number of the Shares issuable hereunder.

3.6 No Fractional Share. No fractional Share shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional Share interest arises upon any exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional Share interest by paying Holder in cash the amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by (a) the fair market value (as determined in accordance with Section 1.4 above) of a full Share, less (b) the then-effective Warrant Price.

3.7 Notice/Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares, the Company, at the Company’s expense, shall notify Holder in writing within a reasonable time setting forth the adjustments to the Warrant Price, Class and/or number of Shares and facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Company shall, upon written request from Holder, furnish Holder with a certificate of its Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, including computations of such adjustment and the Warrant Price, Class and number of Shares in effect upon the date of such adjustment.

SECTION 4. MISCELLANEOUS.

4.1 (a) Term and Automatic Conversion Upon Expiration. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2 above, this Warrant is exercisable in whole or in part at any time and from time to time on or before 5:00 P.M. Eastern time, on the Expiration Date and shall be void thereafter.

(b) Automatic Cashless Exercise upon Expiration. In the event that, upon the Expiration Date, the fair market value of one Share (or other security issuable upon the exercise hereof) as determined in accordance with Section 1.4 above is greater than the Warrant Price in effect on such date, then this Warrant shall automatically be deemed on and as of such date to be exercised pursuant to Section 1.3 above as to all Shares (or such other securities) for which it shall not previously have been exercised, and the Company shall, within a reasonable time, deliver a certificate representing the Shares (or such other securities) issued upon such exercise to Holder (and if the Company’s shares are uncertificated, the Company shall deliver reasonably satisfactory evidence to the Holder signifying the valid issuance of such uncertificated shares) in accordance with Section 1.5 above.

4.2 Legends. The Shares (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) shall be imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THAT CERTAIN WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK ISSUED BY THE ISSUER TO CCM DENALI EQUITY HOLDINGS, LP DATED ____________, MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER SAID ACT AND LAWS OR IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, SUCH OFFER, SALE, PLEDGE OR OTHER TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.

4.3 Compliance with Securities Laws on Transfer. This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including, without limitation, the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company). The Company shall not require Holder to provide an opinion of counsel if the transfer is to any Affiliate of Holder, provided that any such transferee is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act. Additionally, the Company shall also not require an opinion of counsel if there is no material question as to the availability of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, provided that, Holder represents that it has complied with Rule 144 in reasonable detail, the selling broker represents that it has complied with Rule 144, and the Company is provided with a copy of Holder’s proposed notice of sale.

4.4 No Impairment; Further Assurances. The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, each as in effect as of the Issue Date, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by Holder in order to protect the exercise privilege of Holder against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant. The Company (i) will not increase the par value of any Shares above the Warrant Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant.

4.5 Transfer Procedure. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.3 and upon providing the Company with written notice, Holder may transfer all or part of this Warrant or the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (or the securities issuable directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) to any transferee, provided, however, in connection with any such transfer, Holder will give the Company notice of the portion of the Warrant being transferred with the name, address and taxpayer identification number of the transferee and Holder will surrender this Warrant to the Company for reissuance to the transferee(s) (and Holder if applicable); and provided further, that any subsequent transferee shall make to the Company each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement and agree in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Warrant.

4.6 Binding on Successors. This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.

4.7 Taxes. The Company will pay all taxes (other than taxes based upon income) and other lock-up governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the issuance or delivery of the Shares, other than any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of the Shares in a name other than that of the Holder.

4.8 Notices.
