If the Purchasers timely accept the First Offer Notice Terms, the parties agree to promptly consummate the transaction contemplated by such First Offer Notice Terms. If the Purchasers reject the First Offer Notice Terms or fail to timely accept the First Offer Notice Terms, the Issuer may consummate the First Offer Financing on the First Offer Notice Terms (or substantially similar terms) with any other Person(s) so long as of such Debt financing has been consummated within sixty (60) days of the First Offer Decision Date (or within ninety (90) days of the First Offer Decision Date, so long as a term sheet setting forth the terms of such Debt financing has been executed with such Person(s) within sixty (60) days of the First Offer Decision Date) without again complying with this Section.

80% of such allotment	On or before March 24, 2023
70% of such allotment	On or before April 21, 2023
60% of such allotment	After April 21, 2023 through and including the twenty-fourth (24th) month from the Effective Date

For clarity, the foregoing allotment schedule shall not apply to any Tranche B Notes that may be purchased by a Purchaser as a result of any Bridge Notes or Incremental Notes issued to a Purchaser following the Sixth Amendment Date. Senyun agrees that Senyun’s option to purchase Tranche B Notes corresponding to Bridge Notes funded by Senyun after the Sixth Amendment Date is exercisable within twelve (12) months from the funding date of such Bridge Notes.

(ii) Each Purchaser has the option upon written notice to the Issuer to purchase additional convertible senior secured notes and warrants on the same terms as the Tranche C Notes from time to time for twelve (12) months from the Sixth Amendment Date, and if such option is exercised, the Issuer shall issue to such Purchaser additional convertible senior secured notes and warrants on the same terms as the Tranche C Notes in an amount not to exceed 50% of the initial principal amount of the Tranche C Notes issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof and purchased for cash (the “Tranche D Notes”).

(g) Exchange Notes. (i) On the Sixth Amendment Date, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreements, and without requiring the payment of any cash or other additional consideration by the applicable Purchaser, the Issuer shall issue additional convertible senior secured notes (the “Exchange Notes”) to Senyun and FSV, respectively.

(ii) The Exchange Notes will constitute “Notes” hereunder, except that (A) Section 2.1(f), Section 2.2, Section 2.4(e) and Section 2.5(b) shall not be applicable to the Exchange Notes and the Purchasers holding Exchange Notes shall have no rights under such sections solely in respect of such Exchange Notes and (B) the Exchange Notes shall not be included in any determination of “Required Purchasers” or any other voting or consent provision hereunder. The Exchange Notes shall be prepayable and redeemable at par at any time by the Issuer upon fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice, without the payment of any prepayment premium or penalty.

Section 2.2 Premium Payment Amount

In the event that (a) any Note is prepaid, repaid, reduced, refinanced, or replaced in whole or in part before the Maturity Date (other than pursuant to a mandatory prepayment made under Sections 2.3(b), (c), (d) or (e)), (b) the Obligations are accelerated (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, by operation of law, or otherwise), (c) any Note is satisfied as a result of a foreclosure sale or by any other means, or (d) an Event of Default occurs under Section 8.1(f) or 8.1(g), then, on the effective date of such prepayment, repayment, reduction, refinancing, replacement, acceleration, sale or such Event of Default, the Issuer shall pay to the Purchasers, in addition to all other Obligations, an amount (the “Premium Payment Amount”) equal to the percentage (the “Premium Percentage”) of the principal amount of the Note(s) being prepaid, repaid, refinanced, replaced, accelerated, or subject to a sale through foreclosure or otherwise or an Event of Default under Section 8.1(f) or 8.1(g) (or required or deemed to be prepaid, repaid, refinanced, replaced, or subject to an acceleration, sale or such Event of Default), determined in accordance with the following chart:

Date of Redemption	Premium Percentage
Initial Bridge Closing through and including the first anniversary of the Initial Bridge Closing	10%
After the first anniversary of the Initial Bridge Closing through and including the second anniversary of the Initial Bridge Closing	5%
After the second anniversary of the Initial Bridge Closing	0%

Any Premium Payment Amount payable in accordance with this Section 2.2 shall be presumed to be equal to the liquidated damages sustained by the Purchasers as the result of the occurrence of any event triggering the prepayment of such Premium Payment Amount and the Issuer agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Premium Payment Amount shall survive acceleration of the Obligations and/or the occurrence of any insolvency proceeding, and shall automatically accrue to the principal amount of the Notes and shall constitute part of the Obligations for all purposes herein. If any Note is accelerated for any reason pursuant to the terms herein, the Premium Payment Amount shall be calculated as if the date of acceleration of such Note was the date of prepayment of such Note. THE ISSUER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACCELERATION. The Issuer expressly agrees that: (A) the Premium Payment Amount is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Premium Payment Amount shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Purchasers and the Issuer giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Premium Payment Amount; (D) the Issuer shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph; (E) their agreement to pay the Premium Payment Amount is a material inducement to the Purchasers to purchase the Notes; and (F) the Premium Payment Amount represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Purchasers and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Purchasers or profits lost by the Purchasers as a result of such event triggering payment of the Premium Payment Amount.

Section 2.3 Mandatory Payments.

There shall become due and payable and the Issuer shall prepay the Notes in the following amounts and at the following times, and, in each case, subject to Section 2.3(i) (and including any Premium Percentage solely in the case of Section 2.3(g)):

(f) [Reserved].

(g) Change of Control. Within five (5) Business Days of the occurrence of a Change of Control, an amount equal to all of the outstanding Obligations.

(h) Reinvestment Rights. With respect to any Major Casualty Proceeds or Net Cash Proceeds that are subject to Section 2.3(b) or Section 2.3(d), at the option of any of the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary, any Credit Party or Subsidiary may (in lieu of making a prepayment pursuant to Section 2.3(b) or Section 2.3(d)) elect to reinvest an amount equal to all or any portion of such Major Casualty Proceeds or Net Cash Proceeds, so long as the Major Casualty Proceeds and Net Cash Proceeds collectively do not exceed $5,000,000; provided, however, prior to the Threshold Reset Event, only $2,000,000 with respect to Net Cash Proceeds that are subject to Section 2.3(d), and following a Threshold Reset Event $10,000,000, in the aggregate, to repair, replace or reconstruct damaged property or property affected by loss, destruction, damage, condemnation, confiscation, requisition, seizure or taking, or replace such property with other capital assets used or useful in the business of the Credit Parties within six (6) months following receipt of such Major Casualty Proceeds or Net Cash Proceeds or if any Credit Party enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Major Casualty Proceeds or Net Cash Proceeds within six (6) months following receipt of such Major Casualty Proceeds or Net Cash Proceeds, no later than ninety (90) days after the end of such six (6) month period.

(i) General Provisions. The Issuer shall deliver to each Purchaser an appropriately completed Payment Notification promptly upon the occurrence of any event that gives rises to a mandatory prepayment. Any Purchaser may elect to waive all or any portion of the prepayments required to be paid to such Purchaser in this Section 2.3 (or the Required Purchasers may elect to waive all or any portion of the prepayments required to be paid to all Purchasers in this Section 2.3). Subject to the previous sentence, all mandatory prepayments of the Notes shall be applied pro rata against all Notes that are secured on a first-priority basis and all other Debt secured on a first priority basis (it being understood and agreed that the amount of any mandatory prepayment required hereunder may be reduced on a pro rata basis to the extent of any of the Additional Incremental Debt of the Credit Parties that is secured on a first priority pari passu basis), with amounts being applied to the Notes applied first to outstanding Tranche A Notes, Tranche B Notes and Exchange Notes on a pro rata basis and second to outstanding Tranche C Notes and Tranche D Notes, on a pro rata basis.

Section 2.4 Interest, Fees and Calculations.

(a) Interest. Interest shall accrue on, and be payable when and as set forth in, each Note.

(b) Default Rate of Interest. Default interest shall accrue on, and be payable when and as set forth in, each Note.

(c) [Reserved].

(d) Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest charged with respect to any Note or any other Obligation exceed the maximum amount permitted under the laws of the State of New York or of any other applicable jurisdiction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, if at any time the rate of interest payable hereunder or under any Note or other Financing Document (the “Stated Rate”) would exceed the highest rate of interest permitted under any applicable Law to be charged (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then for so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be so exceeded, the rate of interest payable shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate; provided that if at any time thereafter the Stated Rate is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Issuer shall, to the extent permitted by Law, continue to pay interest at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received is equal to the total interest which would have been received had the Stated Rate been (but for the operation of this provision) the interest rate payable. Thereafter, the interest rate payable shall be the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again would exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate, in which event this provision shall again apply. In no event shall the total interest received by any Purchaser exceed the amount which it could lawfully have received had the interest been calculated for the full term hereof at the Maximum Lawful Rate. If, notwithstanding the prior sentence, any Purchaser has received interest hereunder in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, such excess amount shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Notes or to other amounts (other than interest) payable hereunder.

(a) General. All payments to be made by Credit Parties under any Financing Document, including payments of principal and interest made hereunder and pursuant to any other Financing Document, and all fees, expenses, Premium Payment Amount, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim. Except as otherwise provided herein and unless otherwise directed by Agent, all payments by the Issuer hereunder shall be made to the Agent, for the benefit of the Purchasers, for the account of the Agent and respective Purchasers to which such payment is owed, to an account designated by the Agent in writing from time to time to the Issuer, in dollars and in immediately available funds; provided that the direction by Agent to the Credit Parties to send any payment or payments directly to the Purchasers (or otherwise to an account not held by Agent), shall not relieve Agent of its duties to ensure payments are appropriately directed to each Purchaser entitled thereto, including through the delivery to the Credit Parties of invoices, allocation schedules, wire transfer instructions and other necessary and appropriate documentation regarding such payment, which the Credit Parties may rely on in making payments to the Purchasers as directed. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Purchaser its pro rata share of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to an account designated by such Purchaser in writing from time to time to the Agent. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension (it being understood and agreed that, solely for purposes of calculating covenants and computations contained herein and determining compliance therewith, if payment is made, in full, on any such extended due date, such payment shall be deemed to have been paid on the original due date without giving effect to any extension thereto). Any payments received before 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any date shall be deemed received by the Agent or such Purchaser on such date, and any payments received after 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on any date shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day (unless otherwise agreed by the Agent or such Purchaser).

All entries in each such loan account shall be made in accordance with the Agent’s customary practices as in effect from time to time; provided, however, the failure by Agent to record the date and outstanding amount of any Note shall not adversely affect Agent or any Lender. The records of Agent with respect to the Issuer’s account shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amounts of Notes and other charges thereto and of payments applicable thereto.

(c) All Prepayments. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, all mandatory prepayments of Notes shall be applied (subject to Section 2.3(i) and to any intercreditor arrangements existing among the Notes): first, against the principal balance of the Notes, until the same shall have been paid in full; and second, to the accrued, payable, and unpaid interest in the order of maturity. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, all mandatory prepayments of Notes shall be applied (subject to Section 2.3(i) and to any intercreditor arrangements existing among the Notes): first, to the accrued, payable, and unpaid interest in the order of maturity; and second, against the principal balance of the Notes, until the same shall have been paid in full.

The Agent shall within 45 days following the Initial Bridge Closing, for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2(h), the Agent shall propose to the Issuer an allocation of the aggregate fair market value of the Warrants issued at Initial Bridge Closing (the “Valuation”). If the Issuer does not notify the Agent of any dispute or disagreement regarding the proposed Valuation within twenty (20) days of receipt, then the Valuation shall become final. If the Issuer notifies the Agent of any such dispute or disagreement within twenty (20) days of receipt, then the Issuer and the Agent shall endeavor in good faith to resolve such dispute with twenty (20) days after the Issuer so notifies the Agent. If the Issuer and the Agent are unable to resolve the dispute, then such dispute shall be submitted to an independent, nationally recognized valuation or financial advisory firm (mutually agreed to by the Issuer and the Agent) for final resolution, with the costs of such valuation or financial advisory firm to be paid one-half by the Issuer and one-half by the Agent. Neither the Credit Parties nor the Purchasers will take any position for United States federal income Tax purposes that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 2.7 unless otherwise required by the IRS or another Governmental Authority following an audit or examination.

The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Issuer has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Issuer received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration. Except as set forth in the Issuer’s filings with the SEC, the Issuer is, and has no reason to believe that in the foreseeable future it will not continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The Common Stock is currently eligible for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation and the Issuer is current in payment of the fees to the Depository Trust Company (or such other established clearing corporation) in connection with such electronic transfer.

The Issuer further understands and acknowledges that (y) one or more Purchasers may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Underlying Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interests in the Issuer at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Issuer acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of the Transaction Documents.

Section 3.35 Regulation M Compliance. The Issuer has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Issuer to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities, or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Issuer, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), compensation paid to the Placement Agent in connection with the placement of the Securities.

-26-

(b) Required Insurance Coverage. Each Credit Party will maintain, and will cause each Domestic Subsidiary to maintain, (i) casualty insurance on all real and personal property on an all risks basis (including the perils of flood and quake), covering the repair and replacement cost of all such property and coverage for business interruption and public liability insurance (including products/completed operations liability coverage), in each case, of the kinds customarily carried or maintained by Persons of established reputation engaged in similar businesses and in amounts reasonably acceptable to the Agent and (ii) after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such other insurance coverage in such amounts and with respect to such risks as the Agent may reasonably request if the Agent determines in good faith that there has been a material increase in Credit Parties’ risk profile from that in effect on the Closing Date.

In addition to the foregoing, from time to time, if the Agent reasonably determines in good faith that obtaining appraisals is necessary in order for the Agent or any Purchaser to comply with applicable Laws or regulations, and at any time if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may, at the sole cost of Credit Parties, require the Issuer to obtain and deliver to the Agent appraisal reports in form and substance and from appraisers reasonably satisfactory to the Agent stating the then current market values of all or any portion of the real estate and personal property owned by the Credit Parties and Subsidiaries.

-31-

(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.13, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:

[NEITHER] THIS SECURITY [NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS [EXERCISABLE] [CONVERTIBLE]] HAS [NOT] BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO 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. THIS SECURITY [AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON [EXERCISE] [CONVERSION] OF THIS SECURITY] MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.

The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Issuer and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Issuer 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.

(c) Certificates evidencing the Underlying Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.13(b) hereof): (i) while a registration statement (including the Registration Statement) covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Underlying Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) without time, volume or manner of sale limitations, (iii) if such Underlying Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) without time, volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Issuer shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser promptly after the Effective Date if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Purchaser, respectively, to the extent set forth in the preceding sentence. If all or any portion of a Note is converted or Warrant is exercised at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Underlying Shares, or if such Underlying Shares may be sold under Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) as to such Underlying Shares and without time, volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Underlying Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Issuer agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.13(c), it will, no later than two (2) Trading Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Issuer or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Underlying Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Issuer may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.13(c). Certificates for Underlying Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System (to the extent the Issuer is a participant in the Depository Trust Company System) as directed by such Purchaser.

(d) In addition to such Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Issuer shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Underlying Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.13(c), $5 per Trading Day for each Trading Day after the 3^rd Trading Day following the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Issuer fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Purchaser by the 3^rd Trading Day following Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Securities so delivered to the Issuer by such Purchaser that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the 3^rd Trading Day following the Legend Removal Date such Purchaser purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Purchaser of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that such Purchaser anticipated receiving from the Issuer without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Purchaser’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Underlying Shares that the Issuer was required to deliver to such Purchaser by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed.

(e) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Issuer that such Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.13(e) is predicated upon the Issuer’s reliance upon this understanding.

Section 4.14 Acknowledgment of Dilution. The Issuer acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions. The Issuer further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Underlying Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Issuer may have against any Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Issuer.

(b) If, on any date, the number of authorized but unissued (and otherwise unreserved) shares of Common Stock is less than the Required Minimum on such date, then the Board of Directors shall use reasonable best efforts to hold two special meetings of shareholders (which may also be at the annual meeting of shareholders) to amend the Issuer’s certificate or articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to at least the Required Minimum at such time, as soon as possible and in any event the first applicable Issuer stockholders meeting shall not be later than the 120th day after such date (and if the required Issuer stockholder approval is not obtained at such meeting, then the second applicable Issuer stockholders meeting shall not be later than the 120th day after the first applicable Issuer stockholders meeting, and if the required Issuer stockholder approval is not obtained at such second meeting, the Issuer shall use reasonable best efforts to seek such approval at each subsequent annual meeting until such approval is obtained).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary including Section 4.1 and Section 4.24, the Issuer expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in effecting transactions in any securities of the Issuer after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K as described in Section 4.18, (ii) no Purchaser shall be restricted or prohibited from effecting any transactions in any securities of the Issuer in accordance with applicable securities laws from and after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced pursuant to the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K as described in Section 4.18 and (iii) no Purchaser shall have any duty of confidentiality or duty not to trade in the securities of the Issuer to the Issuer, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates or agent, including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, after the issuance of the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K as described in Section 4.18.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement.

(b) At least ten (10) days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Issuer shall deliver to each such Purchaser a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). Upon the request of such Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Issuer shall promptly, but no later than three (3) days after such request, deliver a Subsequent Financing Notice to such Purchaser. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder and the Person or Persons through or with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected and shall include a term sheet or similar document relating thereto as an attachment.

If the Issuer receives no such notice from a Purchaser as of such seventh (7^th) day, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Issuer that it does not elect to participate.

(d) If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the seventh (7^th ) day after all such Purchasers have received the Subsequent Financing Notice, notifications by such Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount up to which such Purchasers may participate in the Subsequent Financing, then the Issuer may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and with the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice.

(e) The Issuer must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.25, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within ninety (90) Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.

(f) The Issuer and each Purchaser agrees that if any Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision that is intended to exclude one or more of the Purchasers from participating in a Subsequent Financing.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Agent and each Purchaser agrees that this Section 4.25 shall not apply to the Amendment Date ELOC.

Article 10
TAXES; YIELD PROTECTION

Section 10.1 Taxes.

(a) Gross Up for Taxes. All payments of principal and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder or under any Financing Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, property or franchise taxes, and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, assessments, withholdings or other charges (including interest, additions to tax and penalties thereon) imposed by any taxing authority (“Taxes”), unless otherwise required by applicable Law. If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Credit Parties to any Purchaser hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, then the Credit Parties will (1) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted, (2) promptly forward to such Purchaser an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to such Purchaser evidencing such payment to such authority, and (3) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, pay to such Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by such Purchaser will equal the full amount it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(b) Other Taxes. Each Credit Party agrees to timely pay to the applicable Governmental Authority any present or future stamp, intangible, recording or documentary Taxes or any other similar Taxes that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, recordation, or filing of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Financing Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (“Other Taxes”).

(c) Indemnification. The Credit Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Agent and the Purchasers, 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) payable or paid by the Agent or the Purchasers or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to the Agent or the Purchasers 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 the Issuer by a Purchaser shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

-60-

(d) Foreign Purchasers. Each Foreign Purchaser that is a party hereto on the Closing Date or purports to become an assignee of an interest pursuant to Section 12.6(a) after the Closing Date (unless such Purchaser was already a Purchaser hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) shall execute and deliver to the Issuer United States Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or W-8IMY (as applicable) and other applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed by the United States Internal Revenue Service or reasonably requested as to such Purchaser’s entitlement to a complete exemption from withholding or deduction of Taxes, if any, on or prior the date on which such Foreign Purchaser becomes a party hereto or becomes an assignee of an interest pursuant to Section 12.6(a) (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer). Any Foreign Purchaser that is relying on the portfolio interest exception of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, shall also provide each Issuer along with IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a certificate representing to each Issuer that such Foreign Purchaser is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code, is not a 10% holder of any Issuer described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person (within the meaning of Sections 881(c)(3)(C) and 864(d)(4) of the Code) and is not a conduit entity participating in a conduit financing arrangement as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.881-3, at such time (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer). Each Purchaser shall provide new forms (or successor forms) or certificates upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms, to the extent legally entitled to do so, and to promptly notify each Issuer of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. If a payment made to a Purchaser under any Financing Document or any payment would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser or the Agent were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Purchaser or the Agent shall deliver to the Issuer and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Issuer as may be necessary for the Issuer to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA, or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Furthermore, any Foreign Purchaser shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so and to the extent in any Purchaser’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser, deliver to the Issuer on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement or becomes an assignee of an interest pursuant to Section 12.6(a) (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer), executed originals 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 the Issuer to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

-61-

(e) United States Purchasers. Any Purchaser other than a Foreign Purchaser that is a party hereto on the Closing Date or purports to become an assignee of an interest pursuant to Section 12.6(a) after the Closing Date (unless such Purchaser was already a Purchaser hereunder immediately prior to such assignment) shall execute and deliver to the Issuer one or more (as the Issuer may reasonably request) United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, certifying to such Purchaser’s U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number and that it is not subject to United States federal backup withholding taxes on or about the date on which such Purchaser becomes a party hereto or becomes an assignee of an interest pursuant to Section 12.6(a) (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer). Each Purchaser shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms pursuant to this paragraph (e) and to promptly notify the Issuer of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(f) Agent (including any successor Agent) shall provide, on or about the date on which such Person becomes an Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer), a duly executed and completed IRS Form W-9 certifying to Agent’s U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number and that it is not subject to United States federal backup withholding taxes. Agent shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms pursuant to this paragraph (f) and shall promptly notify the Issuer of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. So long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, if Agent or any Purchaser 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 10.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 10.1), 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 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 paragraph (g) (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 paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) 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 paragraph (g) 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.

If any Purchaser shall reasonably determine that the adoption or taking effect of, or any change in, any applicable Law, in each instance, after the Closing Date, or any change after the Closing Date in the interpretation, administration or application of any Law by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation, administration or application thereof, or the compliance by any Purchaser or any Person controlling such Purchaser with any request, guideline or directive of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency: (a) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or any successor thereto), 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 Purchaser, or (b) shall impose on any Purchaser any other condition affecting its Notes, any of its Notes (if any) or its obligation to make Notes; and the result of anything described in clauses (a) and (b) above is to increase the cost to (or to impose a cost on) such Purchaser of making or maintaining any Notes, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Purchaser under this Agreement or under any of its Notes (if any) with respect thereto, then upon demand by such Purchaser (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis for such demand and a calculation of the amount thereof in reasonable detail), Credit Parties shall promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days of demand therefor, pay directly to such Purchaser such additional amount as will compensate such Purchaser or controlling Person for such increased cost or such reduction, so long as such amounts have accrued on or after the day which is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date on which such Purchaser first made demand therefor; provided that if the event giving rise to such amount has retroactive effect, such one hundred eighty (180) day period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect.

-63-

Section 10.4 Mitigation Obligations. If any Purchaser requests compensation under either Section 10.2 or Section 10.3, or requires Issuer to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.1, then, upon the written request of the Issuer, such Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Notes hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder (subject to the provisions of Section 12.6) to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Purchaser, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or materially reduce amounts payable pursuant to any such Section, as the case may be, in the future, (b) would not subject such Purchaser to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (c) would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Purchaser (as determined in its sole discretion). Without limitation of the provisions of Section 9.1, Issuer hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Purchaser in connection with any such designation or assignment.

Section 10.5 Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival. Determinations and statements of any Purchaser pursuant to Sections 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. The Purchasers may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Notes and termination of this Agreement.

Section 10.6 Dodd-Frank. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all rules, regulations, guidelines and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, shall be deemed, in each case, for all purposes of this Agreement, to be adopted after the date of this Agreement, regardless of the date actually enacted, adopted or issued.

Anything in this Agreement or any other Financing Document to the contrary notwithstanding, each Secured Party hereby agrees with each other Secured Party and with the Agent that no Secured Party shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights against any Credit Party arising out of this Agreement or any other Financing Document (including exercising any rights of set-off) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Agent, it being the intent of the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties that any such action to protect or enforce rights against any Credit Party under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Agent.

Section 11.5 Consultation with Experts. The Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

Section 11.6 Liability of the Agent. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Financing Documents, except that the Agent shall be liable with respect to its specific duties set forth hereunder, but only to the extent of its own fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct in the discharge thereof as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Financing Document or any borrowing hereunder, (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements specified in any Financing Document, (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in any Financing Document, (d) the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Financing Document, any Lien purported to be created or perfected thereby or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith, (e) the existence or non-existence of any Default or Event of Default; or (f) the financial condition of any Credit Party or Subsidiary. The Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex, facsimile or electronic transmission or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Secured Party to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Secured Parties any payment in excess of the amount to which it is determined to be entitled (and such other Secured Parties hereby agree to return to such Secured Party any such erroneous payments received by them).

Section 11.7 Indemnification. The Purchasers shall, on a ratable basis, indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Credit Parties) upon demand against any cost, expense (including counsel fees and disbursements), withholding Tax liability, claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from such the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) that the Agent may suffer or incur in connection with the Financing Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or thereunder, in each case solely in its capacity as such (and not as a Purchaser). Agent (in its capacity as a Purchaser), and all Purchasers who are Affiliates of Agent shall be responsible for their pro rata share of any such indemnity. If any indemnity furnished to the Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by Required Purchasers until such additional indemnity is furnished.

Section 11.8 Right to Request and Act on Instructions. The Agent may at any time request instructions from the Purchasers with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Financing Documents the Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, the Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Financing Documents until it shall have received such instructions from Required Purchasers or all or such other portion of the Purchasers as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Purchasers (or all or such other portion of the Purchasers as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of Required Purchasers (or such other applicable portion of the Purchasers), the Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action would violate applicable Law or exposes it to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.7.

Section 11.9 Credit Decision. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Financing Documents.

Section 11.10 Collateral Matters. Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to (a) release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent under any Security Document (i) upon Payment in Full of the Obligations or (ii) constituting property (x) sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted under any Financing Document or (y) that is or has become Excluded Property (as defined in the Guarantee and Collateral Agreement) pursuant to clause (k) of the definition thereof (it being understood and agreed that the Agent may conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the sale or other disposition of property or such property constituting or becoming such type of Excluded Property being made in full compliance with the provisions of the Financing Documents), (b) [reserved], and (c) release (i) any Guarantor of all or any portion of the Obligations if all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor is sold or otherwise ceases to be a Subsidiary in a transaction permitted hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such transaction such Credit Party would not be required to guarantee any Obligation pursuant to Section 4.11 or (ii) all Credit Parties from their Obligations under the Financing Documents upon Payment in Full of the Obligations. Upon request by the Agent at any time, Secured Parties will confirm the Agent’s authority to release and/or subordinate particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.10.

Section 11.11 Agency for Perfection. The Agent and each Secured Party hereby appoint each other Secured Party as agent for the purpose of perfecting the Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with the UCC in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Secured Party (other than the Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Secured Party shall notify the Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to the Agent or in accordance with the Agent’s instructions or transfer control to the Agent in accordance with the Agent’s instructions. Without limiting the provisions of Section 11.4(b), each Secured Party agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or to realize upon any Collateral for the Obligations unless instructed to do so by the Agent (or consented to by the Agent, as provided in Section 8.3), it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by the Agent.

Section 11.12 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Agent shall have received written notice from a Purchaser or the Issuer referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by Required Purchasers (or all or such other portion of the Purchasers as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) in accordance with the terms hereof. Unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of the Purchasers.

Section 11.13 Successor Agent. The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Purchasers and the Issuer and the Required Purchasers may at any time remove the Agent by sending notice to the Issuer and the Agent. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or delivery of any such notice of removal, the Required Purchasers shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Agent hereunder and notice of such acceptance to the resigning Agent, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning (or resigned) Agent, the resigning or removed Agent’s resignation or removal shall become immediately effective and the resigning or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents (if such resignation was not already effective and such duties and obligations not already discharged, as provided below in this paragraph). The fees payable by the Issuer to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Issuer and such successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by Required Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the resigning Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the resigning Agent, from and following the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, (a) shall have the exclusive right, upon one (1) Business Day’s notice to the Issuer and the Purchasers, to make its resignation effective immediately, and (b) may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Purchasers, appoint a successor Agent. From and following the effectiveness of its resignation or removal, (i) the resigning or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Financing Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the resigning or removed Agent shall instead be made by or to each Purchaser directly, until such time as Required Purchasers appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this paragraph. The provisions of this Agreement shall continue in effect for the benefit of any resigning or removed Agent and its sub-agents after the effectiveness of its resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Financing Documents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the resigning or removed Agent was acting or was continuing to act as the Agent.

Section 11.14 Right to Perform, Preserve and Protect. If any Credit Party fails to perform any obligation hereunder or under any other Financing Document, the Agent itself may, but shall not be obligated to, cause such obligation to be performed at Credit Parties’ expense. The Agent is further authorized by Credit Parties and Secured Parties to make expenditures (including legal and other expenses incurred from time to time) from time to time which the Agent, in its reasonable business judgment, deems necessary or desirable to (a) preserve or protect the business conducted by Credit Parties, the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (b) enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Notes and other Obligations and/or (c) to enforce its rights and claims in the Collateral and against the Credit Parties and defend Agent’s rights and interests in the Collateral and under the Financing Documents. Each Credit Party hereby agrees to reimburse the Agent for any and all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by the Agent pursuant to this Section 11.14, in accordance with Section 9.1. Each Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent upon demand for any and all costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by the Agent pursuant to this Section 11.14, in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.7. In addition, the Agent shall be entitled to request advances from time to time from the Purchasers for the purpose of covering the expenditures expected to be incurred pursuant to this Section 11.14.

Section 11.15 Additional Titled Agents. Except for rights and powers, if any, expressly reserved under this Agreement to any bookrunner, arranger or to any titled agent named on the cover page of this Agreement, other than the Agent (collectively, the “Additional Titled Agents”), and except for obligations, liabilities, duties and responsibilities, if any, expressly assumed under this Agreement by any Additional Titled Agent, no Additional Titled Agent, in such capacity, has any rights, powers, liabilities, duties or responsibilities hereunder or under any of the other Financing Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, no Additional Titled Agent shall have nor be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party.

Section 11.16 Subordinated Debt and Junior Debt. Each Purchaser hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Agent to enter into any Additional Incremental Debt Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to any Subordinated Debt, Junior Debt or other Debt permitted hereunder on its behalf and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of any such agreement (subject to the last sentence of this Section 11.16). Subject to Section 12.5, Each Purchaser further agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of any Additional Incremental Debt Intercreditor Agreement, any Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement or any other subordination or intercreditor agreement pertaining to any Subordinated Debt or Junior Debt or other Debt permitted hereunder. Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Agent to issue (and receive, as applicable) blockage notices in connection with any Subordinated Debt or Junior Debt at the direction of the Required Purchasers (it being agreed and understood that the Agent will not act unilaterally to issue such blockage notices). After the Closing Date, the Agent and the Issuer agree to negotiate a Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement with the holders of the existing Junior Debt on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Issuer, and in any event to execute such Junior Lien Intercreditor Agreement within 45 days after the Closing Date.

Section 11.17 Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Article 11 are solely for the benefit of the Secured Parties. Other than Section 11.10, Section 11.14 and Section 11.16, no Credit Party or any Subsidiary shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Article 11. The provisions of this Article 11 and the other Financing Documents relating to Collateral shall benefit each Secured Party if, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Article 11 and all other provisions of the Financing Documents running to the benefit of the Agent from any Purchaser, as if each other Secured Party was a Purchaser hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, and as a condition to its acceptance of the benefits set forth above, each other Secured Party agrees that the Agent and each of the other Secured Parties shall be entitled to act in its sole discretion without regard to the interests of the Secured Party seeking the benefit hereof, without any duty or liability to such Secured Party and without having any duty to notify or seek the consent of such Secured Party prior to taking any action or omitting to take any action.

Section 11.18 Actions in Concert. For the sake of clarity, each Purchaser hereby agrees with each other Purchaser that no Purchaser shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Financing Document (including exercising any rights of setoff) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Agent or the Required Purchasers, it being the intent of the Purchasers that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement the Notes and the other Financing Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the Agent or the Required Purchasers.

Article 12
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 12.1 Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in every other Financing Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents. The provisions of Articles 9, 10, 11 and 12 shall survive the Payment in Full of the Obligations (both with respect to any Purchaser and all Purchasers collectively) and any termination of this Agreement.

Section 12.2 No Waivers; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay by the Agent or any Purchaser in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein and therein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law. Any reference in any Financing Document to the “continuing” nature of any Event of Default shall not be construed as establishing or otherwise indicating that any Credit Party has the independent right to cure any such Event of Default, but is rather presented merely for convenience should such Event of Default be waived in accordance with the terms of the applicable Financing Documents.

Section 12.3 Notices.

(a) All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including prepaid overnight courier, facsimile transmission, e-mail, electronic submissions or similar writing, but in no event by text message) and shall be given to such party at its address, facsimile number or e-mail address set forth on the signature pages hereof (or, in the case of any such Purchaser who becomes a Purchaser after the date hereof, in an Assignment Agreement or in a notice delivered to the Issuer and the Agent and each other Purchaser by the assignee Purchaser forthwith upon such assignment) or by electronic submissions, as provided below, or at such other address, facsimile number or e-mail address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Agent, each other Purchaser and the Issuer; provided that notices, requests or other communications shall be permitted by e-mail or other electronic submissions (but in no event by text message) only in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.3(b). Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by facsimile, when such notice is transmitted to the facsimile number specified by this Section and the sender receives a confirmation of transmission from the sending facsimile machine, (ii) if given by e-mail or other electronic submissions, as set forth in Section 12.3(c) or (iii) if given by mail, prepaid overnight courier or any other means, when received at the applicable address specified by this Section.

(b) Notices and other communications to the parties hereto may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites, but in no event by text message) provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to notices sent directly to any party hereto if such party has notified the other parties in writing that it has elected not to receive notices by electronic communication (which election may be limited to particular notices).

(c) (i) Notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgment from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgment), and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor, provided, that if any such notice or other communication is not sent or posted during normal business hours, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day.

Section 12.4 Severability. In case any provision of or obligation under this Agreement or any other Financing 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.

Section 12.5 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) General Provisions. No provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document may be amended, waived or otherwise modified unless such amendment, waiver or other modification is in writing and is signed or otherwise approved by the Issuer (other than with respect to any subordination or intercreditor agreement or terms pursuant to which any Debt and/or any Liens securing such Debt is Subordinated Debt or Junior Debt and the Liens securing the Obligations, none of which shall require the signature or approval of any Issuer) and Required Purchasers (or by the Agent with the prior written approval of Required Purchasers), and, if (i) any amendment, waiver or other modification would either increase a Purchaser’s funding obligations in respect of any Note, by such Purchaser, and (ii) the rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby, by the Agent; provided that no such amendment, waiver or other modification shall, unless signed or otherwise approved in writing by all Purchasers directly affected thereby (or by the Agent with the prior written approval of each such Purchaser), (A) reduce the principal of, rate of interest on, or any fees (including any make-whole or liquidated damage provisions) with respect to the Notes or forgive any principal, interest, or fees, other than (i) as a result of a waiver of an Event of Default and/or the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.4(b), or (ii) as a result of the implementation of any pricing grid with respect to interest rate margins and fees, (B) defer, extend or postpone the date fixed for, or waive or forgive, any payment (other than a payment pursuant to Section 2.3) of principal of the Notes, or of interest (other than the default rate of interest pursuant to Section 2.4(b)) on the Notes or fees hereunder or defer, extend or postpone the date of termination of the commitment of any Purchaser hereunder, (C) change the definition of the term Required Purchasers, (D) amend Article 2 or Section 8.4 in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, (E) release all or substantially all of the Collateral, except as otherwise may be provided in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents (including in connection with any disposition permitted hereunder), (F) subordinate all or substantially all of the Collateral or subordinate the Obligations (other than in connection with (I) any Debt of the type permitted under Section 5.1(h) or Section 5.1(l), (II) any Real Estate Financing, any Sale Leaseback Transaction, any Permitted Floor Financing or any other Debt to the extent such Debt is permitted to be secured by a priority Lien under this Agreement and/or (III) any other financing that, in the case of this clause (III), is offered to each Purchaser on a pro rata basis and approved by the Required Purchasers and each Significant Purchaser), (G) amend, waive or otherwise modify compliance with Section 2.5(b), Section 4.16, Section 4.17, Sections 8.1(o), (p) or (q) or the definitions of the terms used in those Sections insofar as the definitions materially affect the substance of those Sections or (H) amend, waive or otherwise modify this Section 12.5(a) or the definitions of the terms used in this Section 12.5(a) insofar as the definitions affect the substance of this Section 12.5(a); provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the waiver of (or amendment to the terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Notes shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest and (y) a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Article 7 or the waiver of any Default or Event of Default (in each case other than pursuant to Section 8.1(a)) shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for, or a reduction in the amount of, any payment of interest or any payment of fees. It is hereby understood and agreed that all Purchasers shall be deemed directly affected by an amendment, waiver or other modification of the type described in the preceding clauses (C), (D), (E), (F) or (H) of the preceding sentence. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given. No delay on the part of the Agent or any Purchaser in the exercise of any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any of them of any right, power or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in any Financing Document (a) the Issuer and the holder of any Note hereunder may agree to amend, waive or otherwise modify the terms of such Note, and/or the Issuer and the holder of such Note may waive any right or condition under, or the protection of any provision under, this Agreement, solely with respect to, or relating to, the rights of such Purchaser, in each case, without the consent of any other Purchaser or any other party hereto and (b) any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement that is approved by the Purchasers holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate principal amount of Tranche C Notes and Tranche D Notes (subject to clauses (A) through (H) above) shall be binding on all Purchasers holding Tranche C and Tranche D Notes, notwithstanding that the Required Purchasers at the time has not approved such amendment, waiver or modification; provided, however, no such amendment, waiver or modification shall be permitted to increase the principal amount of any Tranche C Notes.

-72-

(b) Agent. No amendment, waiver, modification, or consent shall amend, modify, or waive any provision of Article 11 pertaining to the Agent, or any other rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, without the written consent of the Agent, the Issuer, and Required Purchasers; provided that any amendment reducing Agent’s obligations or increasing or adding any fees, indemnities or other charges payable to Agent (other than proportional increases or additions to fees, indemnities, or other charges payable to Agent in connection with increases in the Obligations permitted under this Agreement and the other Financing Documents) shall require the consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes that are not Affiliates of Agent.

(c) Miscellaneous. Anything in this Section 12.5 to the contrary notwithstanding, any amendment, modification, elimination, waiver, consent, termination, or release of, or with respect to, any provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document that relates only to the relationship of the Purchasers and the Agent among themselves, and that does not affect the rights or obligations of Credit Parties, shall not require consent by or the agreement of any Credit Party.

Section 12.6 Assignments; Participations.

(a) Assignments.

(i) Subject to Section 4.13, any Purchaser may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or any portion of such Purchaser’s Notes, together with all related rights and obligations of such Purchaser hereunder, including for the avoidance of doubt, the rights of such Purchaser under Section 2.1(f) and any unfunded commitment of such Purchaser. Any purported assignment to any Person that is not an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the definition thereof shall be null and void. The amount of any such assignment (determined as of the date of the applicable Assignment Agreement or, if a “Trade Date” is specified in such Assignment Agreement, as of such Trade Date) shall be in a minimum aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 (unless such assignment is made to an existing Purchaser or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Purchaser or is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in the outstanding Notes); provided that, in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more Affiliated Persons, including related Approved Funds, such Affiliated Persons and Approved Funds shall be treated as one assignee for purposes of determining compliance with the minimum assignment size referred to above. The Issuer, the Agent and the Purchasers shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with the interests so assigned to an Eligible Assignee until the Purchasers and the Agent shall have received and accepted an effective Assignment Agreement executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto.

(ii) From and after the date on which the conditions described above have been met and recordation in the register described in paragraph (iii) below, (A) such Eligible Assignee shall be deemed automatically to have become a party hereto and, to the extent of the interests assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser hereunder and (B) the assigning Purchaser, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, shall be released from its rights and obligations hereunder (other than those that survive termination pursuant to Section 12.1). Upon the request of the Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Purchaser) pursuant to an effective Assignment Agreement, each Issuer shall execute and deliver to such Eligible Assignee (and, as applicable, the assigning Purchaser) Notes in the aggregate principal amount of the Eligible Assignee’s Notes (and, as applicable, Notes in the principal amount of the Notes retained by the assigning Purchaser). Upon receipt by the assigning Purchaser of such Note (or commitments, as applicable), the assigning Purchaser shall promptly return to the Issuer any prior Note held by it.

-73-

(iii) The Issuer shall maintain at its offices a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Purchaser, and the commitments of, and principal amount and interest of the Notes owing to, such Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof. The entries in such register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Issuer, the Agent and the Purchasers may treat each Person whose name is recorded therein pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. Such register shall be available for inspection by the Agent and any Purchaser (provided that each Purchaser’s right of inspection shall be limited to information about such Purchaser), at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to the Issuer. Any assignment may be effected only upon the registration thereof as provided in this paragraph (iii).

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.6(a) or any other provision of this Agreement, any Purchaser may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Purchaser, including any pledge or grant to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or to a trustee as security for the benefit of its noteholders, other security holders or creditors of a Purchaser; provided that no such pledge or grant shall release such Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Purchaser as a party hereto.

(b) Participations. Subject to Section 4.13, any Purchaser may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Issuer or the Agent, sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Notes, commitments or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”), provided, no participation shall be made to any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates, any natural person or any Disqualified Purchaser. In the event of a sale by a Purchaser of a participating interest to a Participant, (i) such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (ii) the Issuer and the Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations hereunder and (iii) all amounts payable by the Issuer shall be determined as if such Purchaser had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Issuer agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.1 as if it were a Purchaser (provided that such Participant complies with the requirements of Section 10.1(d) and (e) as if it were a Purchaser; provided further, that no Participant shall receive any greater compensation pursuant to Section 10.1 than would have been paid to the participating Purchaser if no participation had been sold). No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any event described in Section 12.5 expressly requiring the unanimous vote of all Purchasers or, as applicable, all affected Purchasers. The Issuer agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and payable (as a result of acceleration or otherwise), each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Purchaser under this Agreement; provided that such right of setoff shall be subject to the obligation of each Participant to share with the Purchasers, as provided in Section 8.3. In the event that a Purchaser sells a participation, the Purchaser, as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of the Issuer, shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) in the United States a register (the “Participant Register”) on which it enters the name and addresses of all participants in the Obligations held by it and the rights of such participants in the Obligations (including principal amount, interest thereon, and fees of the portion of such Obligations that is subject to such participations). No Purchaser shall have an obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Note or any Obligation), except as otherwise required by applicable Law and to the Issuer at its reasonable request and then, solely to the extent that such disclosure is required to establish that such participation, Note or Obligation is in registered form under Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c) of the Treasury Regulations. Any participation or transfer thereof may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register.

-74-

(c) Credit Party Assignments. No Credit Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or other obligations hereunder or under any other Financing Document without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Purchaser.

Section 12.7 Headings. Headings and captions used in the Financing Documents (including the Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes hereto and thereto) are included for convenience of reference only and shall not be given any substantive effect.

Section 12.8 [Reserved].

Section 12.9 Waiver of Consequential and Other Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Notes or the use of the proceeds thereof.
