2.3Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (which under the laws of the State of California shall be deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans) (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that Borrower has actually paid to Lenders an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Secured Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of the Secured Obligations consisting of the outstanding principal; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Lenders’ accrued interest, reasonable costs and documented out-of-pocket costs, expenses, and professional fees and
37



any other Secured Obligations; and third, after all Secured Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrower.
2.4Default Interest. In the event any payment is not paid on the scheduled payment date, an amount equal to four percent (4%) of such past due amount shall be payable on demand.

In the event any interest is not paid when due hereunder, delinquent interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on interest, compounded at the rate set forth in Section 2.2(d) or 2.4, as applicable.
2.5Prepayment. At its option, Borrower may prepay all or a portion of the outstanding Advances by paying the entire principal balance (or such portion thereof), all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all unpaid Lenders’ fees and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses due hereunder accrued to the date of the repayment (including, without limitation, the End of Term Charge when due in accordance with Section 2.6(a)), together with a prepayment charge equal to the following percentage of the outstanding principal amount of such Advance being so prepaid: with respect to each Advance (which Advance amount shall include, for the avoidance of doubt, any principal that has been added to the principal balance of such Advance pursuant to Section 2.2(d)(ii)) (a) if the principal amount of such Advance is prepaid on or prior to the date which is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, three percent (3.00)%; (b) if the principal amount of such Advance is prepaid after the date which is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date but on or prior to the date which is twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date, two percent (2.00)%; and (c) thereafter through the day before the Term Loan Maturity Date, one percent (1.00)% (each, a “Prepayment Charge”). Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Charge is a reasonable calculation of Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Advances. Borrower shall prepay the outstanding amount of all principal and accrued interest through the prepayment date and the Prepayment Charge upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or any other prepayment hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Lenders agree the Prepayment Charge shall be waived if Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates (in their sole and absolute discretion) refinance the Advances prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date. Any amounts paid under this Section shall be applied by Agent to the then unpaid amount of any Term Loan Advances pro rata (together with any interest thereon). For the avoidance of doubt, if a payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately succeeding Business Day.
2.6End of Term Charge.
(a)On any date that Borrower partially prepays the outstanding Term Loan Advances pursuant to Section 2.5, Borrower shall pay Lenders a charge of equal to two
38



and one-half of one percent (2.50%) multiplied by the principal amount of such Term Loan Advances being prepaid.
(a)On the earliest to occur of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii) the date that Borrower prepays the entirety of the outstanding Secured Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations), and (iii) the date that the outstanding Secured Obligations become due and payable, Borrower shall pay Lenders a charge equal to (x) two and one-half of one percent (2.50%) multiplied by the aggregate original principal amount of such Term Loan Advances made hereunder minus (y) the aggregate amount of payments made pursuant to Section 2.6(a) (each payment under Section 2.6(a) and Section 2.6(b), individually and collectively, the “End of Term Charge”).
(b)Notwithstanding the required payment date of such End of Term Charge, the applicable pro rata portion of the End of Term Charge shall be deemed earned by Lenders as of each date that an applicable Term Loan Advance is made. For the avoidance of doubt, if a payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately succeeding Business Day.
2.7Pro Rata Treatment. Each payment (including prepayment) on account of any fee and any reduction of the Term Loan Advances shall be made pro rata according to the Term Commitments of the relevant Lenders.
2.8Taxes; Increased Costs. Each Loan Party, Agent and Lenders each hereby agree to the terms and conditions set forth on Addendum 1 attached hereto.
2.9Treatment of Prepayment Charge and End of Term Charge. Each Loan Party agrees that any Prepayment Charge and any End of Term Charge payable shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination, and each Loan Party agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing and existing as of the Closing Date. The Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge shall also be payable in the event the Secured Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by any other means. Each Loan Party expressly waives (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) the provisions of any present or future statute or law that prohibits or may prohibit the collection of the foregoing Prepayment Charge and End of Term Charge in connection with any such acceleration. Each Loan Party agrees (to the fullest extent that each may lawfully do so): (a) each of the Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (b) each of the Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (c) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge as a charge (and not interest) in the event of prepayment or acceleration; and (d) Borrower shall be estopped from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section. Each Loan Party expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay each of the Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge to Lenders
39



as herein described was on the Closing Date and continues to be a material inducement to Lenders to provide the Term Loan Advances.
SECTION 3. SECURITY INTEREST
3.1Grant of Security Interest. As security for the prompt and complete payment when due (whether on the payment dates or otherwise) of all the Secured Obligations, each Loan Party grants to Agent a security interest in all of such Loan Party’s right, title, and interest in, to and under all of such Loan Party’s personal property and other assets including without limitation the following (except as set forth herein) whether now owned or hereafter acquired (collectively, but excluding the Excluded Assets, the “Collateral”): (a) Receivables; (b) Equipment; (c) Fixtures; (d) General Intangibles; (e) Inventory; (f) Investment Property; (g) Deposit Accounts; (h) Cash; (i) Goods; and all other tangible and intangible personal property of such Loan Party whether now or hereafter owned or existing, leased, consigned by or to, or acquired by, such Loan Party and wherever located, and any of such Loan Party’s property in the possession or under the control of Agent; and, to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds of each of the foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, and rents, profits and products of each of the foregoing.

Section 1051(c) (or any successor provision) such intent-to-use application shall constitute Collateral, (b) licenses or contracts, which by their terms require the consent of the licensor thereof or another party (but only to the extent such prohibition on transfer is enforceable under applicable law, including, without limitation, Sections 9406, 9407 and 9408 of the UCC (or any successor provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction and the Bankruptcy Code or under principles of equity (except where the terms of such license or contract would otherwise permit the grant of a Lien thereon upon obtaining the consent of a Loan Party or any of its Affiliates), (c) any Excluded Account and the cash and cash equivalents contained therein (including securities entitlements and related assets), (d) any interest of any Loan Party as a lessee under an equipment lease if such Loan Party is prohibited by the terms of such lease from granting a security interest in such lease or under which such an assignment or Lien would cause a default to occur under such lease; provided, however, that upon termination of such prohibition, such interest shall immediately become Collateral without any action by any Loan Party, Agent or any Lender, (e) any commercial tort claim (as defined in the UCC) that does not exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), (f) any property or asset to the extent that such grant of a security interest is prohibited by any Requirement of Law of a Governmental Authority or constitutes a breach or default under or results in the termination of or requires any consent not obtained under, any contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document evidencing or giving rise to such property, except to the extent that such Requirement of Law or the term in such contract, license, agreement, instrument or other document providing for such prohibition,
40



breach, default or termination or requiring such consent is ineffective under Section 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 or 9-409 of the UCC (or any successor provision or provisions) of any relevant jurisdiction or any other applicable law (including the Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity; provided, however, that such security interest shall attach immediately at such time as such Requirement of Law is not effective or applicable, or such prohibition, breach, default or termination is no longer applicable or is waived, and to the extent severable, shall attach immediately to any portion of the Collateral that does not result in such consequences, (g) any assets owned by an Excluded Subsidiary, (h) with respect to any Excluded Subsidiary that is a CFC or a CFC Holdco, Equity Interests of such CFC or CFC Holdco; provided that one hundred percent (100%) of the non-voting equity interests and sixty-five percent (65%) of the voting equity interests of any such Excluded Subsidiary that is a CFC or a CFC Holdco directly owned by a Loan Party shall not be Excluded Assets, (i) those assets as to which Agent in consultation with the Company determines (acting reasonably) in writing that (x) the cost of obtaining a Lien or perfection thereof are excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lenders of the security to be afforded thereby, or (y) would result in adverse tax consequences to the Loan Parties or their respective Subsidiaries, (k)(i) motor vehicles, aircraft, aircraft engines and other assets subject to certificates of title to the extent perfection of the security interest in such assets cannot be accomplished by the filing of a UCC financing statement (or equivalent), and (ii) letter-of-credit rights not constituting supporting obligations of other Collateral, and (l) (i) to the extent and for so long as the grant of a Lien in the same is prohibited by applicable law, any Equity Interests issued by Bright Health Insurance Company of New York, a New York corporation and (ii) to the extent and for so long as the grant of a Lien in the same is prohibited by its Organizational Documents, any Equity Interests issued by PMAF (together, “Excluded Assets”).
3.3 Upon termination of all commitments and obligations of the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to make any further Advances and repayment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations), all security interests in the Collateral granted under the Loan Documents shall immediately terminate and all rights on the Collateral shall automatically revert to each Loan Party without the need for any other action by any Person. Upon any Transfer of any assets not prohibited by this Agreement or upon any Loan Party becoming any Excluded Subsidiary, all security interests in such assets or the assets of such Excluded Subsidiary shall immediately terminate without the need for any other action by any Person. Agent shall promptly on request and at Borrower’s expense execute such documents and take such other steps as are reasonably necessary for the Loan Parties to evidence such termination, all at Borrower’s sole cost and expense.
3.4The security interest granted in Section 3.1 shall continue until the Secured Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations) have been paid in full and Lender has no further commitment or obligation hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to make any further Advances, and Agent shall, at Borrower’s expense, take all actions reasonably requested by Borrower to evidence such termination.

Each Loan Party’s present name, former names (if any), locations, place of formation, tax identification number, organizational identification number and other information are correctly set forth in Exhibit B, as may be updated by such Loan Party in a written notice (including any Compliance Certificate) provided to Agent after the Closing Date in accordance with this Agreement.

44



Collateral Agreement, if (to the extent any Physician Group, Joint Venture Counterparty or Joint Venture Company has such right of termination) a Loan Party has received notice, has become aware or has reason to believe that such Physician Group, Joint Venture Counterparty or Joint Venture Company intends to exercise such right of termination. Each Loan Party has the power and authority to collaterally assign each Collateral Agreement (to which such Loan Party is party thereto) to Agent; provided, the representation under this clause (b) relating to any Collateral Agreement entered into after the Closing Date is given in relation to that Collateral Agreement on or after the date such Collateral Agreement is delivered in accordance with Section 4.1(h) or Section 7.25 (as appropriate). No Collateral Agreement has been collaterally assigned or pledged to any other party other than a Loan Party; and any consent of any Physician Group, Joint Venture Company, Joint Venture Counterparty or any other Person required for any Collateral Assignment in accordance with this Agreement has been obtained or, in relation to any Collateral Agreement delivered after the Closing Date, will be obtained on or before the date such Collateral Assignment is required to be entered into in accordance with this Agreement.

5.5Actions Before Governmental Authorities. There are no actions, suits claims, disputes or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened in writing against or affecting any Loan Party or its property, that, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

No Loan Party is in default in any manner under any agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound for which such default could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.6 does not apply to compliance with Healthcare Laws, which is set forth in Section 5.16.
(b)No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company,” a company that would be an “investment company” except for the exclusion from the definition of “investment company” in Section 3(c) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” under the 1940 Act. No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors). Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act.

None of the funds to be provided under this Agreement will be used, directly or indirectly, (a) for any activities in violation of any applicable Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Terrorism Laws or for the purpose of financing any activities or business of or with any Person that, at the time of such financing, is a Sanctioned Person or in any Sanctioned Country, in each case, except to the extent authorized under applicable Sanctions laws, or (b) for any payment to any governmental official or employee, political
46



party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.
5.7Information Correct and Current. No written information, report, Advance Request, financial statement, exhibit or schedule furnished, by or on behalf of any Loan Party to Agent in connection with any Loan Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto (other than financial or business projections, or information of a general economic or industry nature) (“Information”) contained as of the date such Information was furnished, when taken as a whole with all other Information given or furnished to Agent or any Lender, any material misstatement of fact or, when taken together with all other such Information, omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which such Information was furnished (after giving effect to all supplements and updates), not materially misleading at the time such statement was made or deemed made provided, however, that no representation is made with respect to (i) any information of a general economic or industry nature, (ii) any forward looking statements or estimates or (iii) any pro forma financial statements or financial projections. Additionally, any and all financial or business projections provided by any Loan Party to Agent under the Loan Documents, were provided in good faith and based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time prepared (it being understood that such projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of any Loan Party, that no assurance is given that any particular projections will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections and forecasts may differ from the projected or forecasted results by a material amount).
5.8Tax Matters.

5.9Intellectual Property Claims. Each Loan Party is the sole owner of, or otherwise has the right to use, the Intellectual Property used in or otherwise necessary for such Loan Party’s business. Except as described on Schedule 5.9, (i) each of the Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents owned by each Loan Party is, to such Loan Party’s knowledge, valid and enforceable (other than applications for registration), (ii) no part of the Intellectual Property owned by such Loan Party has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or
47



in part, and (iii) no written claim has been made to such Loan Party that the ownership of or use of any part of the Intellectual Property violates the intellectual property rights of any third party, in each case to the extent such lack of validity and enforceability, judgment or claim would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect such Loan Party’s ability to perform or pay the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents. Exhibit C is a true, correct and complete list, in all material respects, of each of such Loan Party’s registered Patents, registered Trademarks, registered Copyrights, and material agreements under which each Loan Party licenses Intellectual Property from third parties (other than shrink-wrap software licenses or other than “off-the-shelf” licenses or open-source software or other licenses which, if terminated, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect), together with application or registration numbers, as applicable, owned by such Loan Party or any Subsidiary. No Loan Party is in breach of, and no Loan Party has failed to perform any obligations under, any of the foregoing contracts, licenses or agreements and, to such Loan Party’s knowledge, no third party to any such contract, license or agreement is in breach thereof or has failed to perform any obligations thereunder, in each case to the extent such breach or failure would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect such Loan Party’s ability to perform or pay the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents.
5.10Intellectual Property.
(a)Except as described on Schedule 5.10, each Loan Party owns or has the right to use all Intellectual Property necessary or material in the operation or conduct of such Loan Party’s business as currently conducted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for restrictions that are unenforceable under Division 9 of the UCC or otherwise permitted under this Agreement with respect to Licenses, each Loan Party has the right, to the extent necessary or material in the operation or conduct of such Loan Party’s business as currently conducted, to freely transfer, license or assign Intellectual Property necessary or material in the operation or conduct of such Loan Party’s business as currently conducted (other than Intellectual Property licensed to such Loan Party under a Restricted License), without material condition, restriction or payment of any kind (other than customary conditions, restrictions and covenants in inbound license agreements, payments in the ordinary course of business, and conditions or requirements customarily associated with licenses of Trademarks) to any third party, and such Loan Party owns or has the right to use, to the extent necessary or material in the operation or conduct of such Loan Party’s business as currently conducted, pursuant to valid licenses, all material software development tools, library functions, compilers and all other third-party software and other technology or works of authorship that are material in the operation or conduct of such Loan Party’s business and used by such Loan Party in the design, development, promotion, sale, license, manufacture, import, export, use or distribution of Borrower Products except customary conditions, restrictions and covenants in inbound license agreements and equipment leases where such Loan Party is the licensee or lessee. Except as disclosed on Schedule 5.10 (as updated from time to time after the Closing Date), no Loan Party is a party to, nor is it bound by, any Restricted License (other than software as a service agreements or click-through agreements for off-the-shelf software that are commercially available to the public).
48



(b)No Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries have used any material software or other materials that are subject to an open-source or similar license (including but not limited to the General Public License, Lesser General Public License, Mozilla Public License, or Affero License) in a manner that would require such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries to (other than with respect to such open-source software or materials themselves) (i) distribute to third parties any Borrower Product at no charge or a minimal charge (royalty-free basis); (ii) license to any third parties the right to modify, make derivative works based on, decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer any Borrower Product; or (iii) disclose or distribute any Borrower Product in source code form.
(c)Each License that is a Material Agreement is in full force and effect and is legal, valid, binding, and enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.10(c), to the knowledge of any Loan Party, (i) neither such Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, is in breach of or default in any manner that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Borrower Products under any Material Agreement to which it is a party or may otherwise be bound, and (ii) no circumstances or grounds exist that would give rise to a claim of breach or right of rescission, termination, revision, non-renewal or amendment of any of the Licenses that are Material Agreements, in each case to an extent that such breach or right would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect such Loan Party’s ability to perform or pay the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents.
5.11Borrower Products. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.11, no Intellectual Property owned by any Loan Party, Borrower Product owned by any Loan Party, or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, Borrower Product licensed to any Loan Party has been or is subject to any actual or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened in writing litigation, proceeding (including any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any corresponding foreign office or agency, except for routine prosecution of such Intellectual Property in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any corresponding foreign office or agency) or outstanding decree, order, judgment, settlement agreement or stipulation that restricts in any manner such Loan Party’s use, transfer or licensing thereof or that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the validity, use or enforceability thereof in each case to an extent that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect such Loan Party’s ability to perform or pay the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents. There is no decree, order, judgment, agreement, stipulation, arbitral award or other provision entered into in connection with any litigation or proceeding that obligates any Loan Party to grant licenses or ownership interest in any future Intellectual Property to be used in the operation or conduct of the business of such Loan Party or Borrower Products to an extent that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect such Loan Party’s ability to perform or pay the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents. No Loan Party has received any written notice or claim challenging or questioning such Loan Party’s ownership in any Intellectual Property used in the operation or conduct of the business of such Loan Party (or written notice of any claim challenging or questioning the ownership in any licensed
49



Intellectual Property of the owner thereof) or alleging that any third party has any claim of legal or beneficial ownership with respect to any Intellectual Property owned by or purported to be owned by any Loan Party, in each case that would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect such Loan Party’s ability to perform or pay the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents.

Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Company with notice of Agent obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter.

6.2Certificates. All certificates of insurance of the Loan Parties must (a) evidence each Loan Party’s compliance with its insurance obligations in Section 6.1 and the obligations contained in this Section 6.2, including reflecting Agent (shown as “Hercules Capital, Inc., as Agent, and its successors and/or assigns”) as an additional insured for commercial general liability, a lenders loss payable for all risk property damage insurance, subject to the insurer’s approval, and a lenders loss payable for property insurance and additional insured for liability insurance for any future insurance that the Loan Parties may acquire from such insurer, (b) include additional insured endorsements for liability and lender’s loss payable endorsements for all risk property damage insurance, and (c) provide for a minimum of thirty (30) days advance written notice to Agent of cancellation (other than cancellation for non-payment of premiums, for which ten (10) days’ advance written notice shall be sufficient) .

SECTION 10. REMEDIES
10.1General. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any one or more Events of Default, Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, accelerate and demand payment of all or any part of the outstanding Secured Obligations together with a Prepayment Charge and declare them to be immediately due and payable (provided, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of the type described in clause (b) or (c) of Section 9.5, all of the Secured Obligations (including, without limitation, the Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge) shall automatically be accelerated and made due and payable, in each case without any further notice or act). Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to: (a) exercisable following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) sign such Loan Party’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any account or drafts against account debtors; (ii) demand, collect, sue, and give releases to any account debtor for monies due, settle and adjust disputes and claims about the accounts directly with account debtors, and compromise, prosecute, or defend any action, claim, case, or proceeding about any Collateral (including filing a claim or voting a claim in any bankruptcy case in Agent’s or such Loan Party’s name, as Agent may elect); (iii) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Loan Party’s insurance policies; (iv) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, or other claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (v) transfer the Collateral into the name of Agent or a third party as the UCC permits; and (vi) receive, open and dispose of mail addressed to a Loan Party; and (b) (i) endorse such Loan Party’s name on any checks, payment instruments, or other forms of payment or security; and (ii) notify all account debtors to pay Agent directly.  Each Loan Party hereby appoints Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign such Loan Party’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Agent’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Secured Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations) have been paid in full and Lender has no further commitment or obligation hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to make any further Advances.  Agent’s foregoing appointment as each Loan Party’s attorney in fact, and all of Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Secured Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations) have been fully repaid and performed and Lender has no further commitment or obligation thereunder or under the other Loan Documents to make any further Advances. Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, exercise all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents or otherwise available to it under the UCC and other applicable law, including the right to release, hold, sell, lease, liquidate, collect, realize upon, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and the right to occupy, utilize, process and commingle the Collateral. All Agent’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive.
75



10.2Collection; Foreclosure. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may, and at the direction of the Required Lenders shall, at any time or from time to time, apply, collect, liquidate, sell in one or more sales, lease or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as Agent may elect. Any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere. Each Loan Party agrees that any such public or private sale may occur upon ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice to Company. Agent may require a Loan Party to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at a place designated by Agent that is reasonably convenient to Agent and such Loan Party. The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by Agent in the following order of priorities:
    First, to Agent, in an amount equal to the sum of all fees owing to Agent hereunder and under any other Loan Document;
    Second, to Agent and Lenders in an amount sufficient to pay in full Agent’s and Lenders’ reasonable documented out of pocket costs and professionals’ and advisors’ fees and expenses as described in Section 11.12;
    Third, to Lenders, ratably, in an amount equal to the sum of all accrued interest owing to Lenders on the Term Loan Advances hereunder;
    Fourth, to Lenders, ratably, in an amount equal to the sum of the outstanding principal and premium, if any owing to Lenders from Borrower on the Term Loan Advances hereunder;
    Fifth, to Lenders and Agent, ratably (in proportion to all remaining Secured Obligations owing to each), in an amount equal to the sum of all other outstanding and unpaid Secured Obligations (including principal, interest, and the default rate interest set forth in Section 2.4, if required under this Agreement), in such order and priority as Agent may choose in its sole discretion; and
    Finally, after the full and final payment in Cash of all of the Secured Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations) to Borrower or its representatives or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

10.5Cumulative Remedies. The rights, powers and remedies of Agent hereunder shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given by statute or rule of law and are cumulative.

11.3Entire Agreement; Amendments.
(a)This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede and replace in their entirety any prior proposals, term sheets, non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements, letters, negotiations or other documents or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof or thereof (including Agent’s proposal letter dated May 10, 2024 and the Non-Disclosure Agreement).
(b)Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.3(b). The Required Lenders and Loan Parties party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, Agent and Loan Parties party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of Lenders or of Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (A) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan Advance, reduce the stated rate of any interest (or fee payable hereunder) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (B) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.3(b) without the written consent of such Lender; (C) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon the applicable Loan Parties, Lenders, Agent and all future holders of the Loans.
11.4No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto 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.
11.5No Waiver. The powers conferred upon Agent and Lenders by this Agreement are solely to protect their rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and their interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent or Lenders to exercise any such powers. No omission or delay by Agent or Lenders at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to them, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by any Loan Party at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which Agent or Lenders is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of Agent or Lenders to enforce such provisions thereafter.
11.6Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

Sections 6.3, 11.9, 11.10, 11.11, 11.14, 11.15, 11.17 and 11.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
11.7Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on each Loan Party and its permitted assigns (if any). No Loan Party shall assign its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without Agent’s express prior written consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. Agent and the Lenders may assign, transfer, or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents without prior notice to the Loan Parties, and all of such rights shall inure to the benefit of Agent’s and the Lenders’ successors and assigns; provided that as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither Agent nor any Lender may assign, transfer or endorse its rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents to any Person that is a direct competitor of Borrower (whether as an operating company or direct or indirect parent with voting control over such operating company) or a distressed debt or vulture fund (in each case, as reasonably determined by Agent), it being acknowledged that in all cases, any transfer to an
79



Affiliate of any Lender or Agent shall be allowed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) in connection with any assignment by a Lender as a result of a forced divestiture at the request of any regulatory agency, the restrictions set forth herein shall not apply and Agent and Lenders may assign, transfer or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any Person or party and (y) in connection with a Lender’s own financing or securitization transactions, the restrictions set forth herein shall not apply and Agent and Lenders may assign, transfer or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any Person or party providing such financing or formed to undertake such securitization transaction and any transferee of such Person or party upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of a default, event of default or similar occurrence with respect to such financing or securitization transaction; provided that no such sale, transfer, pledge or assignment under this clause (y) shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Person or party for such Lender as a party hereto until Agent shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement from such Person or party in form satisfactory to Agent executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto, and shall have received such other information regarding such assignee as Agent reasonably shall require. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender(s), and the Term 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 the Loan Parties, Agent and Lender(s) 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 any Loan Party and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
11.8Participations. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Loan Parties, 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 Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. Each Loan Party agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions in Addendum 1 attached hereto (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 7 of Addendum 1 attached hereto (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 7 of Addendum 1 attached hereto shall be
80



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 11.7; provided that (A) such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Addendum 1 attached hereto, 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, (B) each Lender agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Addendum 1 with respect to its participant(s), (C) no such participation shall release any Lender from any of its obligations under any Loan Document and (D) if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no participant may be a direct competitor (whether as an operating company or direct or indirect parent with voting control over such operating company) of Borrower (as reasonably determined by Agent).
11.9Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated and delivered to Agent and Lenders in the State of New York, and shall have been accepted by Agent and Lenders in the State of New York. Payment to Agent and Lenders by Borrower of the Secured Obligations is due in the State of New York. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.
11.10Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings (to the extent that the reference requirement of Section 11.11 is not applicable) arising in or under or related to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court located in the State of New York. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Federal (to the extent permitted by law) or New York State court; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue referred to in clause (a) of this Section; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 11.2 and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 11.2. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
81



11.11Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial / Judicial Reference.
(a)Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert Person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF THE LOAN PARTIES, AGENT AND LENDERS SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY ANY LOAN PARTY AGAINST AGENT, LENDERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE OR BY AGENT, LENDERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than Agent, any Loan Party or any Lenders; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship among Loan Parties, Agent and Lenders; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, tort, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document.
(b)If the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 11.11(a) is ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all Claims shall be resolved by reference to a private judge sitting without a jury, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, before a mutually acceptable referee or, if the parties cannot agree, a referee selected by the Presiding Judge of New York, New York. Such proceeding shall be conducted in New York, New York, with New York rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such proceeding.
(c)In the event Claims are to be resolved by judicial reference, either party may seek from a court identified in Section 11.10, any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise subject to resolution by judicial reference.
11.12Professional Fees. Each Loan Party promises to pay Agent’s and Lenders’ reasonable, documented out of pocket fees and expenses necessary to finalize the Loan Documents, including but not limited to reasonable documented out of pocket attorneys’ fees, UCC searches, filing costs, and other related expenses. In addition, each Loan Party promises to pay any and all reasonable documented out of pocket attorneys’ and other reasonable documented out of pocket professionals’ fees (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, costs of in-house counsel) and reasonable documented out of pocket expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders in connection with or related to: (a) the Loan; (b) the administration, collection, or enforcement of the Loan; (c) the amendment or modification of the Loan Documents; (d) any waiver, consent, release, or termination under the Loan Documents; (e) the protection, preservation, audit, field exam, sale, lease, liquidation, or disposition of Collateral or the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral; (f) any legal, litigation, administrative, arbitration, or out of court proceeding in connection with or related to any Loan Party or the Collateral, and any appeal or review thereof; and (g) any
82



bankruptcy, restructuring, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, workout, foreclosure, or other action related to any Loan Party, the Collateral, the Loan Documents, including representing Agent or Lenders in any adversary proceeding or contested matter commenced or continued by or on behalf of any Loan Party’s estate, and any appeal or review thereof.
11.13Confidentiality. Agent and Lenders acknowledge that items of Collateral and information provided to Agent and Lenders by the Loan Parties are confidential and proprietary information of the Loan Parties (the “Confidential Information”). Accordingly, Agent and Lenders agree that any Confidential Information it may obtain in connection with the Loan Documents or in the course of acquiring, administering, or perfecting Agent’s security interest in the Collateral shall not be disclosed to any other Person or entity in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Company, except that Agent and Lenders may disclose any such information:
(a)to its Affiliates and its partners, investors, lenders, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, counsel, accountants, representative and other professional advisors if Agent or Lenders in their reasonable discretion determines that access to such information is needed in connection with such party’s responsibilities in connection with the Loan or this Agreement and, provided that such recipient of such Confidential Information either (i) agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this Section or (ii) is otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of Confidential Information and in any case are no less restrictive than this Section 11.13;
(b)if such information is generally available to the public or to the extent such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or becomes available to Agent or any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party;
(c)if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony required by law or order of any Governmental Authority to be submitted to any Governmental Authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over Agent or Lenders and any rating agency;

83



(g)to any participant or assignee of Agent or Lenders or any bona fide prospective participant or assignee, provided, that such participant or assignee or prospective participant or assignee is subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of Confidential Information which are no are no less restrictive than this Section 11.13;

(j)otherwise with the prior written consent of Company; provided, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Agent’s and Lenders’ obligations under this Section 11.13 shall supersede all of their respective obligations under the Non-Disclosure Agreement.
11.14Assignment of Rights. Each Loan Party acknowledges and understands that Agent or Lenders may, subject to Section 11.7, sell and assign all or part of its interest hereunder and under the Loan Documents to any Person or entity (an “Assignee”). After such assignment the term “Agent” or “Lender” as used in the Loan Documents shall mean and include such Assignee, and such Assignee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Agent and Lenders hereunder with respect to the interest so assigned; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, Agent and Lenders shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given. No such assignment by Agent or Lenders shall relieve any Loan Party of any of its obligations hereunder. Lenders agree that in the event of any transfer by it of the promissory note(s) (if any), it will endorse thereon a notation as to the portion of the principal of the promissory note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and as to the date to which interest shall have been last paid thereon.
11.15Revival of Secured Obligations. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against a Loan Party for liquidation or reorganization, if such Loan Party becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of such Loan Party’s assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered from Agent or Lenders. The Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations and Collateral security shall continue to be effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Agent, or any part thereof is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by, or is recovered from, Agent, Lenders or by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer of Collateral had not been made. In the event that any payment, or
84



any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or recovered, the Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or documentation, to have been revived and reinstated except to the extent of the full and final payment to Agent or Lenders in Cash.

SECTION 12. GUARANTY.
12.1Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to Agent on behalf of the Lenders the due and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise and at all times thereafter), performance and discharge of all Secured Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that the Secured Obligations may be increased, amended, extended, renewed or otherwise modified in whole or in part without notice to or consent from such Guarantor, and that such actions will not affect the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty. All terms of this Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Secured Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for this Guaranty. This guaranty of the Secured Obligations includes in all cases all such Secured Obligations which arise after the filing of a bankruptcy petition with respect to any Loan Party and all such Secured Obligations which would become due but
86



for the operation of (i) the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) Section 502(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) Section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, including interest accruing under the Loan Documents after the filing of a bankruptcy petition, whether or not allowed or allowable as a claim in the Insolvency Proceeding. This Guaranty is a guaranty of prompt and punctual payment of the Secured Obligations, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and is not merely a guaranty of collection.
12.1Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, the amount guaranteed by each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations under this Guaranty will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance and not be subject to avoidance under any applicable Debtor Relief Law or any state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, Uniform Voidable Transactions Act or similar statute or common law.
12.2Term; Reinstatement.
(a)This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall terminate only upon repayment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations). If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantor shall have any nonwaivable right under applicable law or otherwise to terminate or revoke this Guaranty, such Guarantor agrees that such termination or revocation shall not be effective until such applicable Lender receives written notice of such termination or revocation. Such notice shall not affect any Lender’s right and power to enforce rights arising prior to receipt thereof. If any Lender makes Advances or takes any other action after such Guarantor’s termination or revocation but prior to receipt of the requisite notice, any such Lender’s rights with respect thereto shall be the same as if such termination or revocation had not occurred.
(b)Each Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and any Lender’s rights shall continue, if at any time all or part of any payment of any Secured Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Lender or any other Person upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Borrower or any other Guarantor or for any other reason, all as though such payment had not been made and this Guaranty shall be reinstated if the Agreement had expired or terminated and all of the Secured Obligations had been satisfied prior to the restoration or return of the payment.
12.3Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional; Waiver of Defenses. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty is irrevocable, continuing, unconditional and absolute and the obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty will not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, subject to setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination, or otherwise affected for any reason (other than repayment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations)), and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses to enforcement it may have (now or in the future) based on or arising out of any defense of any Loan Party or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Secured Obligations or any Loan Document or any related agreement or instrument from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Loan Party or any other Person liable for the Secured Obligations, other than repayment in full of all Secured Obligations (other
87



than Surviving Obligations). Without limiting the foregoing, the obligations of any Loan Party hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by, without limitation: (a) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, change in terms or compromise of any of the Secured Obligations or any other obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document, by operation of law or otherwise; (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of any Loan Document or any other agreement, including any increase in the Secured Obligations; (c) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries; (d) any Insolvency Proceeding affecting any Person, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Person; (e) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Party may have at any time against any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions; (f) any sale, disposition, application of proceeds, taking, exchange, substitution, release, impairment, or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release, impairment, amendment, waiver, or other modification of any guaranty, for the Secured Obligations; (g) any default in the performance of the Secured Obligations; (h) any failure of any Lender or such Lender’s Affiliates to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition, operations, performance, properties, or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Person; (i) the release or reduction of liability of any Loan Party, or other guarantor or surety, with respect to the Secured Obligations; (j) the failure of any Loan Party to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise; or (k) any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Loans or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Lender that might vary the risk of any Loan Party or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety (other than repayment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations)). Each Loan Party agrees that the payment of all sums payable under the Loan Documents or any part thereof or other act which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to the Loan Documents shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to such Loan Party’s liability under this Guaranty.
12.4Waivers and Acknowledgments.
(a)Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all presently existing and future Secured Obligations, (ii) promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor, and any other notice with respect to any of the Secured Obligations and this Guaranty, and any requirement that any Lender protect, secure, perfect, or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto and (iii) any defense based on any right of set-off or recoupment or counterclaim against or in respect of the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty.
(b)Each Guarantor acknowledges that it has received adequate consideration for entering into this Guaranty and that all waivers and acknowledgments under this
88



Section 12 by such Guarantor are knowingly made and that the Lenders would not enter into the Agreement but for this Guaranty.
(c)Each Guarantor (i) acknowledges and agrees that any Lender will not have any duty to advise of or otherwise disclose any information known to it regarding Borrower’s financial condition or assets or of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Secured Obligations or the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Guaranty and (ii) assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of such circumstances and risks.
(d)Each Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder.
(e)Each Guarantor acknowledges that any Lender may, at its election and without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor, foreclose on any Collateral or other collateral held by it by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral or other collateral in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Secured Obligations, make any other accommodation with Borrower or any other Loan Party or guarantor, or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against Borrower or any other Loan Party or guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except on the occurrence of the repayment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations). Each Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising out of such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification, or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against Borrower or any other Loan Party or guarantor or any Collateral or any other collateral.
12.5Agreement to Pay; Subrogation; Etc. Without limiting any other right that any Lender has at law or in equity against any Loan Party, if any Loan Party fails to pay any Secured Obligation when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment, or otherwise, each other Loan Party agrees to promptly pay the amount of such unpaid Obligations to Agent in cash. Each Loan Party hereby waives and no Loan Party shall exercise any rights which it may acquire by reason of any payment made under this Guaranty, whether by way of subrogation, reimbursement or otherwise, in each case, until the prior repayment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations). Any amount paid to any Loan Party on account of any payment made under this Guaranty prior to repayment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations) shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent and promptly turned over to Agent. So long as any Secured Obligations remain outstanding, each Loan Party will not take any action or commence any proceeding against any Loan Party, whether in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, to recover any amounts in respect of payments made to any Lender under this Guaranty.
89



12.6Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, each Guarantor agrees to observe and perform each of the terms and conditions set forth in Addendum 1 as it relates to such Guarantor in connection with any payments or performance under this Guaranty.
12.7Additional Guarantors. Each Person that is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to Section 7.13 will become a Guarantor, with the same force and effect as if they were originally named as a Guarantor herein, for all purposes of this Agreement upon the execution and delivery by such Person of a joinder in form and substance acceptable to Agent. Each reference to “Guarantor” or “Loan Party” (or any words of like import referring to a Guarantor) in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall also mean such additional Guarantor; and each reference in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to this “Guaranty” or “Agreement” (or words of like import referring to this Agreement) shall mean this Agreement as supplemented by such joinder. No consent of any other Loan Party will be required for the execution and delivery of any such joinder. The rights and obligations of each Loan Party will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.
12.8Cumulative Liability. The liability of each Loan Party as a Guarantor under this Section 12 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of such Loan Party to any Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.
SECTION 13. NON-RELIANCE.
Each Lender is (a) is a sophisticated institutional accredited investor with extensive expertise and experience in financial and business matters and in evaluating private companies and purchasing and selling their securities and indebtedness; (b) has conducted and relied upon its own due diligence investigation of the Company and its own in-depth analysis of the merits and risks of this Agreement in making its investment decision and has not relied upon any information provided by Moelis & Company, LLC (“Moelis”) or any investigation of the Company conducted by Moelis; and (c) agrees that Moelis shall have no liability to any Lender in connection with entering into this Agreement.

a.Connection Income Taxes” means Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes.
b.Excluded Taxes” means any of the following Taxes imposed on or with respect to a Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to a Recipient, (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated), franchise Taxes, and branch profits Taxes, in each case, (A) imposed as a result of such Recipient being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office or, in the case of any Lender, its applicable lending office located in, the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (or any political subdivision thereof) or (B) that are Other Connection Taxes, (ii) in the case of a Lender, U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan or Term Commitment pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (A) such Lender acquires such interest in the Loan or Term Commitment or (B) such Lender changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to Section 2 or Section 4 of this Addendum 1, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office, (iii) Taxes attributable to such Recipient’s failure to comply with Section 7 of this Addendum 1 and (iv) any withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA.

g.Other Taxes” means all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment.

2.Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.

A certificate describing the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay, and to hold Agent and any Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, including IRS Form W-9, as will enable Borrower or 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 7(b)(i), 7(b)(ii) and 7(b)(iv) of this Addendum 1) shall not be required if in such 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.
b.Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person,
7


i.any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and 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 Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; provided, however, that if the Lender is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it shall provide the appropriate withholding form of its beneficial owner;
ii.any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
A.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 Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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 Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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;
B.executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
C.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
D.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, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or Exhibit J-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a
8


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 J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
iii.any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or 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 Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
iv.if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan 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 Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent 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 Borrower or Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and 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, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Closing Date.
a.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 Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
b.To the extent legally permissible, (i) in the event that Agent is a U.S. Person, Agent shall deliver an IRS Form W-9 to Borrower and (ii) if Agent is not a U.S. Person, Agent shall deliver to Borrower the applicable IRS Form W-8 certifying its exemption or reduction from U.S. withholding Taxes with respect to amounts payable hereunder, on or prior to the date Agent becomes a party to this Agreement. Upon reasonable request of Borrower, Agent shall provide updated documentation previously provided (or a successor form thereto), provided that the Agent
9


acknowledges that such request shall be considered reasonable when any documentation previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or invalid.
8.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 the provisions of this Addendum 1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to the provisions of this Addendum 1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under the provisions of this Addendum 1 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 Section 8 (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 Section 8, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 8 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 Section 8 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.
9.Increased Costs. If any change in applicable law shall subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result shall be to increase the cost to such Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Term Loan Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Recipient (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon the request of such Recipient, Borrower will pay to such Recipient such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
10.Mitigation Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 9 of this Addendum 1 or otherwise requires that the Borrower pay any Indemnified Taxes to any Lender or Governmental Authority pursuant to this Addendum 1, then at the request of the Borrower, such Lender shall 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 this Addendum 1 in the future, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.
10


The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
11.Survival. Each party’s obligations under the provisions of this Addendum 1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

ADDENDUM 2 to LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
[Reserved]




























ADDENDUM 3 to LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Agent and Lender Terms
(a)Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Hercules Capital, Inc. to act on its behalf as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent shall have only those duties which are specified in this Agreement, and it may perform such duties by or through its agents, representatives or employees. In performing its duties on behalf of Lenders, Agent shall exercise the same care which it would exercise in dealing with loans made for its own account, but it shall not be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of all or any of the Loan Documents, or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made therein or made in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents furnished or delivered in connection herewith or therewith by Agent to any Lender or by or on behalf of any Loan Party to Agent or any Lender, or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein, as to the use of the proceeds of the Term Loan Advances, the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent. Agent shall not be responsible for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of any Taxes, assessments, charges or any other charges or liens of any nature whatsoever upon the Collateral or otherwise for the maintenance of the Collateral, except in the event Agent enters into possession of a part or all of the Collateral, in which event Agent shall preserve the part in its possession. Unless the officers of Agent acting in their capacity as officer of Agent on Borrower’s account have actual knowledge thereof or have been notified in writing thereof by Lenders, Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default.
(b)Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, representatives or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or in connection herewith or therewith unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. No provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on Agent to perform any act or to exercise any power in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on Agent to perform any act or exercise any right or power if such performance or exercise (a) would subject Agent to a Tax in a jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a Tax or (b) would require Agent to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified. Without prejudice to the generality of the



foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Lenders. Agent shall be entitled to refrain from exercising any power, discretion or authority vested in it under this Agreement unless and until it has obtained the written instructions of Lenders. 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, Agent in its individual capacity. With respect to its participation in the Loan Agreement hereunder, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” or any similar term shall unless the context clearly indicates otherwise include Agent in its individual capacity.
(c)Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in acting, or refraining to act, upon, any resolution, statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond or other paper or document that it has no reason to believe to be other than genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or, in the case of e-mail, to have been sent by the proper party or parties. In the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to Agent and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Agent may consult with counsel, and any opinion or legal advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, not taken or suffered by Agent hereunder or under any Loan Documents in accordance therewith. Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of the Collateral from any court of competent jurisdiction. Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers granted to Agent by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at the request or direction of Lenders unless Agent shall have been provided by Lenders with adequate security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.
(d)Each Lender agrees to indemnify Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to its respective Term Commitment percentages (based upon the total outstanding Term Commitments) in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Addendum 3, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
2


(e)To the extent not reimbursed either by Borrower or from the application of Collateral proceeds pursuant to Section 10.2, a Lender (the “Indemnified Lender”) shall be indemnified by the other Lender (an “Indemnifying Lender”), on a several basis in proportion to each Lender’s pro rata portion of the Term Commitment, and each Indemnifying Lender agrees to reimburse the Indemnified Lender for the Indemnifying Lender’s pro rata share of the following items (an “Indemnified Payment”):
(i)all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Indemnified Lender incurred by the Indemnified Lender in connection with the discharge of its activities under this Agreement or the Loan Agreement, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees; provided, that the Indemnified Lender shall consult with the other Lender regarding the incurrence of such costs and expenses at reasonable intervals (but not more often than monthly) and any such reasonable costs and expenses shall be “Claims” hereunder notwithstanding any disagreement by the other Lender as to their incurrence; and
(ii)from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Lender in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any action taken or omitted by the Indemnified Lender hereunder;
provided, however, that the Indemnified Lender shall not be reimbursed or indemnified for an Indemnified Payment, except to the extent that the Indemnified Lender paid more than its ratable share of such payment. All Indemnified Payments as set forth in this clause (e) to an Indemnified Lender are intended to be paid ratably by the other Lender.
(f)Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Person serving as Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent and the term “Lender” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each such Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.
(g)Exculpatory Provisions. Agent shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall not:
(i)be subject to any fiduciary, advisory or other implied duties, regardless of whether any Default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii)have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by Lenders, provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the
3


opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
(iii)except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and Agent 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 any Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(h)In connection with any lawful exercise of Enforcement Actions hereunder, neither any Agent nor any Lender or any of its partners, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, accountants, or agents shall be liable as such for any action taken or omitted by it or them, except for its or their own fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such actions or its obligations under this Agreement.
(i)Each Lender and Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact. Each Lender and Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such powers and duties. No Lender or Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it, if the selection of such agents or attorneys-in-fact was done without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(j)Each Lender agrees that it will make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Loan Parties in connection with the making of Term Loan Advances pursuant to the Loan Agreement and has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Loan Parties. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty or responsibility either initially or on a continuing basis to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of all Lenders or to provide the other Lenders with any credit or other information with respect thereto whether coming into its possession before the Closing Date or any time or times thereafter and shall further have no responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of the information provided to Lenders by the Loan Parties.

ADDENDUM 4 to LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Multiple Loan Party Terms
(a)Loan Party’s Agent. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Company as its agent, attorney-in-fact and legal representative for all purposes, including (i) for each Borrower, requesting disbursement of the Term Loan, and (ii) for each Loan Party, (A) receiving account statements and other notices and communications to Loan Parties (or any of them) from Agent or any Lender, and (B) to make such agreements and to effect the relevant amendments, supplements and variations capable of being given, made or effected by any Loan Party notwithstanding that they may affect such Loan Party, without reference to or the consent of such Loan Party, with such Loan Party to be bound as though such Loan Party itself had executed or made the agreements or effected the amendments, supplements or variations. Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any request for the Term Loan Advances, disbursement instruction, report, information or any other notice or communication made or given by Company, whether in its own name or on behalf of one or more of the other Loan Parties, and Agent shall not have any obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Loan Party as to the binding effect on it of any such request, instruction, report, information, other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of Loan Parties’ obligations hereunder be affected thereby. Every act, omission, agreement, undertaking, settlement, waiver, amendment, supplement, variation, notice or other communication given or made by Company or given to Company under any Loan Document on behalf of another Loan Party or in connection with any Loan Document (whether or not known to any other Loan Party and whether occurring before or after such other Loan Party became an Loan Party under any Loan Document) shall be binding for all purposes on that Loan Party as if that Loan Party had expressly made, given or concurred with it.
(b)Waivers. Each Loan Party hereby waives with respect to the Secured Obligations incurred by any other Loan Party: (i) any right to require Agent to institute suit against, or to exhaust its rights and remedies against, such other Loan Party or any other person, or to proceed against any property of any kind which secures all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or to exercise any right of offset or other right with respect to any reserves, credits or deposit accounts held by or maintained with Agent or any Indebtedness of Agent or any Lender to such other Loan Party, or to exercise any other right or power, or pursue any other remedy Agent or any Lender may have; (ii) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of such other Loan Party or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of any liability of such other Loan Party or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other person, with respect to all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or by reason of any act or omission of Agent or others which directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of such other Loan Party or any guarantor or any other person or any Secured Obligations or any security therefor, whether by operation of law or otherwise; (iii) any defense arising by reason of any failure of Agent to obtain, perfect, maintain or keep in force any Lien on, any property of any Loan Party
5


or any other person; (iv) any defense based upon or arising out of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against such other Loan Party or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other person, including without limitation any discharge of, or bar against collecting, any of the Secured Obligations (including without limitation any interest thereon), in or as a result of any such proceeding. Until all of the Secured Obligations have been paid and discharged in full (other than Surviving Obligations), nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of any Loan Party hereunder except the full performance and payment of all of the Secured Obligations (other than Surviving Obligations). If any claim is ever made upon Agent for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by Agent in payment of or on account of any of the Secured Obligations, because of any claim that any such payment constituted a preferential transfer or fraudulent conveyance, or for any other reason whatsoever, and Agent repays all or part of said amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over Agent or any of its property, or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by Agent with any such claimant (including without limitation the any other Loan Party), then and in any such event, each Loan Party agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement and compromise shall be binding upon such Loan Party, notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Agreement or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations, or any release of any of the Secured Obligations, and each Loan Party shall be and remain liable to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement for the amount so repaid or recovered, to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by Agent or any Lender, and the provisions of this sentence shall survive, and continue in effect, notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Agreement. Each Loan Party hereby expressly and unconditionally waives all rights of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity of every kind against any other Loan Party, and all rights of recourse to any assets or property of any other Loan Party, and all rights to any collateral or security held for the payment and performance of any Secured Obligations, including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which Loan Party may have under any present or future document or agreement with any other Loan Party or other person, and including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which any Loan Party may have under any equitable doctrine of subrogation, implied contract, or unjust enrichment, or any other equitable or legal doctrine.
(c)Consents. Each Loan Party hereby consents and agrees that, without notice to or by Loan Party (except any notices expressly required by the Loan Documents) and without affecting or impairing in any way the obligations or liability of Loan Party hereunder, Agent may, from time to time before or after revocation of this Agreement, do any one or more of the following in its sole and absolute discretion: (i) accept partial payments of, compromise or settle, renew, extend the time for the payment, discharge, or performance of, refuse to enforce, and release all or any parties to, any or all of the Secured Obligations; (ii) grant any other indulgence to any Loan Party or any other Person in respect of any or all of the Secured Obligations or any other matter; (iii) accept, release, waive, surrender, enforce, exchange, modify, impair, or extend the time for the performance, discharge, or payment of, any and all property of any kind securing any or
6


all of the Secured Obligations or any guaranty of any or all of the Secured Obligations, or on which Agent at any time may have a Lien, or refuse to enforce its rights or make any compromise or settlement or agreement therefor in respect of any or all of such property; (iv) substitute or add, or take any action or omit to take any action which results in the release of, any one or more other Loan Parties or any endorsers or guarantors of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation one or more parties to this Agreement, regardless of any destruction or impairment of any right of contribution or other right of the Loan Parties; (v) apply any sums received in respect of the Secured Obligations from any other Loan Party, any guarantor, endorser, or co-signer, or from the disposition of any Collateral or security, to the Secured Obligations that are then due and payable. Each Loan Party consents and agrees that Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Loan Parties, or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations. Each Loan Party further consents and agrees that Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever with respect to any property securing any or all of the Secured Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have no obligation to monitor, verify, audit, examine, or obtain or maintain any insurance with respect to, any property securing any or all of the Secured Obligations.
(d)Independent Liability. Each Loan Party hereby agrees that one or more successive or concurrent actions may be brought hereon against such Loan Party, in the same action in which any other Loan Party may be sued or in separate actions, as often as deemed advisable by Agent. Each Loan Party is fully aware of the financial condition of each other Loan Party and is executing and delivering this Agreement based solely upon its own independent investigation of all matters pertinent hereto, and such Loan Party is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of Agent or any Lender with respect thereto. Each Loan Party represents and warrants that it is in a position to obtain, and each Loan Party hereby assumes full responsibility for obtaining, any additional information concerning any other Loan Party’s financial condition and any other matter pertinent hereto as such Loan Party may desire, and such Loan Party is not relying upon or expecting Agent to furnish to it any information now or hereafter in Agent’s possession concerning the same or any other matter.
(e)Subordination. All Indebtedness of a Loan Party now or hereafter arising held by another Loan Party is subordinated to the Secured Obligations and the Loan Party holding the Indebtedness shall take all actions reasonably requested by Agent to effect, to enforce and to give notice of such subordination.
