The Administrative Agent’s determination of the Interest Rate shall be binding on the Issuer, its Subsidiaries and the Noteholders in the absence of manifest error.

(b)Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees in writing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Applicable Margin shall increase automatically by three percent (3.0%) per annum (the Interest Rate, as increased pursuant to this Section 3.02(b), being the “Default Rate”). If any Obligation is not paid when due under any applicable Notes Document, the amount thereof shall accrue interest at the Default Rate. For the avoidance of doubt, the Default Rate shall not be cumulative and no more than three percent (3.00%) per annum can be applicable to the Notes or any past due Obligation at any time, and further for the avoidance of doubt, once an Event of Default is waived by the Administrative Agent or the Majority Noteholders, the Default Rate shall cease to apply.

(e)Compensation for Loss. In the event of the payment or redemption of any principal of any Note other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), then, in any such event, the Issuer shall compensate each

41


Noteholder for any reasonable and documented loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any reasonable and documented loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds. A certificate of any Noteholder including documentary evidence of any amount or amounts that such Noteholder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Issuer and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Issuer shall pay such Noteholder the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

(f)Listing and Co-operation Obligations. The parties agree to co-operate in good faith to ensure that the Notes are listed on a Recognised Stock Exchange promptly after the date of this Agreement, and to use commercially reasonable best efforts to assist the Obligors to obtain and maintain a listing of such Notes on a Recognised Stock Exchange such that the exemption from UK withholding tax under section 882 of the UK ITA (“QEB Exemption”) applies. If the Notes are not listed on a Recognised Stock Exchange within six months after the date of this Agreement, or if the QEB Exemption is otherwise unavailable, each Noteholder shall use all commercially reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Issuer is able to make payments to that Noteholder, to the maximum extent possible, without a UK Tax Deduction, including the completion of any procedural formalities necessary for the Issuer to obtain authorization to make such payments without a UK Tax Deduction; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) Perceptive Credit Holdings III, LP shall not be obligated to take any actions that would (x) disclose the identity of its partners, or (y) be disadvantageous to its interests hereunder or under any other Notes Document in any material respect, and (ii) as provided pursuant to Section 14.03 hereof, the Issuer shall reimburse Perceptive Credit Holdings III, LP for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with actions taken by it pursuant to this Section 3.02(f).

Any costs arising in connection with the listing shall be borne by the Obligors.

(g)Interest Deferral. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the payment of any interest in respect of the Notes shall automatically be deferred, at no additional cost to the Obligors, in respect of all Payment Dates, until the first Payment Date following the earlier of: (i) the date the Issuer receives confirmation that the Notes have been listed on a Recognised Stock Exchange; and (ii) February 2, 2023.

(i)Subject to prior written notice pursuant to clause (a)(ii) below and the applicable portion of the payment of the Early Redemption Fee pursuant to clause (c) below, the Issuer shall have the right to optionally redeem, in whole or in part, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes at par on any Business Day (an “Early Redemption Date”); provided that in addition to such redeemed principal amount and the Early Redemption Fee applicable to such redeemed principal amount, the Issuer shall also make payment in full in cash on such Early Redemption Date the applicable portion of all accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount

42


of the Notes being redeemed (such aggregate amount of Early Redemption Fee, redeemed principal and accrued interest being herein referred to as the “Early Redemption Price”).

(ii)A notice of optional redemption shall be effective only if received by the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on a date at least three (3) (but not more than five (5)) Business Days prior to the proposed Early Redemption Date. Each notice of optional redemption shall specify the proposed Early Redemption Date (and may be revocable), the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid, the amount of accrued and unpaid interest that will be paid on the Early Redemption Date, and, in reasonable detail, a calculation of the Early Redemption Fee payable on such Early Redemption Date in connection with such proposed redemption.

(b)Mandatory Redemptions. Within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of Net Cash Proceeds from the occurrence of any Casualty Event or Asset Sale (other than any Asset Sale permitted pursuant to Sections 9.09 (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (g), (j) and (k)), to the extent that the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds received by Issuer and its Subsidiaries (and not paid to the Administrative Agent as a redemption of the Notes) in respect of all such Casualty Events or Asset Sales, when taken together, exceeds $2,500,000 in any fiscal year, the Issuer shall apply an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to such Casualty Event or Asset Sale, as the case may be with such amount of Net Cash Proceeds being allocated, to (i) the redemption of principal outstanding under the Notes, and (ii) the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount of the Notes being prepaid and the payment of the applicable portion of the Early Redemption Fee being paid. Such Net Cash Proceeds shall be allocated to such redemption and payments such that the full amount of the applicable Early Redemption Price shall be paid with such Net Cash Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or shall immediately result therefrom, if, within seven (7) Business Days following the occurrence of any such Casualty Event or Asset Sale, a Responsible Officer of the Issuer delivers to the Administrative Agent a notice to the effect that the Issuer or the applicable Subsidiary intends to apply the Net Cash Proceeds from such Casualty Event or Asset Sale to repair, refurbish, restore, replace or rebuild the asset subject to such Casualty Event or Asset Sale, then such Net Cash Proceeds of such Casualty Event or Asset Sale may be applied for such purpose in lieu of such mandatory redemption otherwise required pursuant to this clause (b) to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds of such Casualty Event or Asset Sale are actually applied for such purpose; provided that, in the event that Net Cash Proceeds have not been so applied within one hundred eighty (180) days following the occurrence of such Casualty Event or Asset Sale, the Issuer shall make a mandatory redemption of the Notes in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the unused balance of such Net Cash Proceeds received by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to such Casualty Event or Asset Sale, as the case may be, together with payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Notes being so prepaid and the applicable Early Redemption Fee, with such amount of Net Cash Proceeds being allocated to the redemption of principal, the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount of the Notes being redeemed and the payment of the applicable portion of the Early Redemption Fee being paid such that the full payable with respect to such mandatory redemption is paid with such unused balance of Net Cash Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of a Casualty Event relating to a Manufacturing Facility, to the extent required by the basis of settlement under any policy of insurance relating to that Manufacturing Facility or pursuant to the

43


terms of any lease under which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries holds an interest in that Manufacturing Facility, the Issuer or the applicable Subsidiary shall apply moneys received under any policy of insurance in respect of that Manufacturing Facility towards replacing, restoring or reinstating that Manufacturing Facility.

(c)Early Redemption Fee. Without limiting the foregoing, whenever any redemption of Notes is made hereunder pursuant to Section 3.03(a) or Section 3.03(b), acceleration or otherwise, the applicable portion of the Early Redemption Fee being paid shall be due and payable in full in cash on the applicable Early Redemption Date for such redemption.

(d)Application. Proceeds of any redemption made pursuant to clauses (a) or (b) above shall be applied in the following order of priority, with proceeds being applied to a succeeding level of priority only if amounts owing pursuant to the immediately preceding level of priority have been paid in full in cash; provided that all such redemptions made to Noteholders shall be applied pro rata in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares:

(i)first, to the payment of that portion of the Obligations payable to the Administrative Agent constituting fees, indemnities, costs, expenses, and other amounts then due and owing (including costs, Losses and fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Section 14.03);

(ii)second, to the payment of that portion of the Obligations payable to the Noteholders constituting fees (other than any Early Redemption Fee), indemnities, expenses, and other amounts then due and owing (including fees and disbursements and other charges of counsel payable under Section 14.03) ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (ii) payable to them;

(iii)third, to the payment of any accrued and unpaid interest and any fees then due and owing;

(iv)fourth, to the redemption of unpaid principal of the Notes of the Noteholders at par;

(v)fifth, to the payment of any Early Redemption Fee then due and payable;

(vi)sixth, to the payment in full of all other Obligations then due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Noteholders, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (vi) payable to them; and

(vii)seventh, to the Issuer or such other Persons as may lawfully be entitled to or directed by the Issuer to receive the remainder.

3.04Facility Fees. The Issuer (i) paid on the Closing Date, to the Administrative Agent (for the pro rata benefit of the Noteholders) a fee equal to [***] (the “Tranche 1 Facility Fee”) by way of deduction from the proceeds of the Tranche 1 Notes issued by the Issuer by the Noteholders and (ii) shall pay, on any Tranche 2 Notes Subscription Date, to the Administrative Agent (for the pro rata benefit of the Noteholders) a fee equal to 0.75% of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche 2 Notes subscribed for on such Tranche 2 Issue Date (the “Tranche 2 Facility Fee” and

44


together with the Tranche 1 Facility Fee, the “Facility Fees”). Upon receipt of payment from the Issuer, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter distribute like funds relating to any such payment to the Noteholders pro rata on the basis of each Noteholder’s Proportionate Share. Once paid by the Issuer, such Facility Fees shall be non-refundable.

(a)Set-Off Generally. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, each of the Noteholders is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, any Noteholder to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any and all of the Obligations, whether or not such Person shall have made any demand and although such obligations may be unmatured. Any Person exercising rights of set off hereunder agrees to promptly notify the Issuer after any such set-off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Obligor is made to the Administrative Agent or any Noteholder, or the Administrative Agent, any Noteholder or any Affiliate of the foregoing exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent, or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent, such Noteholder or such Affiliate in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, examiner or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

(d)To the extent permitted under applicable Law, any Participant acquiring a participation pursuant to Section 14.05(e) hereof (as well as any Noteholder acquiring a participation pursuant to Section 14.05(e) hereof) may exercise against the Obligors rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Participant was a direct creditor of the Obligor in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 5

YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

5.01Additional Costs.

(a)Changes in Law Generally. If, on or after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Noteholder, such later date on which such Noteholder becomes party to this Agreement), the adoption of any Law, or any change in any applicable Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any court or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Administrative Agent or any of the Noteholders (or the office to which any of its Notes are booked) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such Governmental Authority, shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, contribution, insurance assessment or similar requirement, in each case that becomes effective after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Noteholder, such later date on which such Noteholder becomes party to this Agreement) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, a Noteholder (or its office to which any of its Notes are booked) or other Recipient or shall impose on a Noteholder (or the office to which any of its Notes are booked) or other Recipient any other condition affecting the Notes or the Commitment, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Noteholder or such other Recipient of making or maintaining the Notes, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Noteholder or other Recipient under this Agreement or any other Notes Document, or subject any Noteholder to any Taxes on its Notes, Commitment or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital (if any) attributable thereto by an amount reasonably deemed by such Noteholder in good faith to be material (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes”, (iii) Connection Income Taxes and (iv) any Bank Levy or any payment attributable to, or

46


liability arising as a consequence of, a Bank Levy), then the Issuer shall pay to such Noteholder within three (3) Business Days after written demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Noteholder for such increased cost or reduction.

(b)Change in Capital Requirements. If a Noteholder shall have determined that, on or after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Noteholder, such later date on which such Noteholder becomes party to this Agreement), the adoption of any applicable Law regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of Law) of any such Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Noteholder, such later date on which such Noteholder becomes party to this Agreement), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of a Noteholder (or its parent) as a consequence of a Noteholder’s obligations hereunder or the Notes to a level below that which a Noteholder (or its parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive by an amount reasonably deemed by it to be material, then the Issuer shall pay to such Noteholder on demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Noteholder (or its parent) for such reduction.

(c)Notification by Noteholder. Each Noteholder shall promptly notify the Issuer of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Noteholder, such later date on which such Noteholder becomes party to this Agreement), which will entitle such Noteholder to compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01. Before giving any such notice pursuant to this Section 5.01(c) such Noteholder shall designate a different office for booking its Notes if such designation (x) will, in the reasonable judgment of such Noteholder, avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and (y) will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Noteholder, be materially disadvantageous to such Noteholder. A certificate of such Noteholder claiming compensation under this Section 5.01, setting forth in reasonable detail the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder and also setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts claimed to be owed to such Noteholder, shall be conclusive and binding on the Issuer in the absence of manifest error.

(d)Delays in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Noteholder to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Noteholder’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Issuer shall not be required to compensate a Noteholder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs unless the Noteholder notifies the Issuer within ninety (90) days following the receipt by such Noteholder of its audited annual financial statements of the change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Noteholder’s intention to claim compensation therefor.

(e)Other Changes. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory

47


authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to constitute a change in Law for all purposes of this Section 5.01, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

5.02Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that on or after the Closing Date (or, with respect to any Noteholder, such later date on which such Noteholder becomes party to this Agreement), the adoption of or any change in any applicable Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any competent Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful for a Noteholder or the office to which any of its Notes are booked to perform any of its obligations or to subscribe for or maintain its participation in any Note (and, in the opinion of such Noteholder, the designation of a different office for the booking of its Notes would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Noteholder), then such Noteholder shall promptly notify the Issuer thereof, following which (i) such Noteholder’s Commitment shall be suspended until such time as such Noteholder may again subscribe for and maintain its participation in the Notes hereunder and (ii) if such Law shall so mandate, the Notes shall be redeemed by the Issuer on or before such date as shall be mandated by such Law in an amount equal to the Early Redemption Price applicable on such Early Redemption Date in accordance with Section 3.03(a).

5.03Taxes.

(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligations shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Issuer. The Issuer shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent or each Noteholder, timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.

(c)Evidence of Payments. As soon as reasonably practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Issuer to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5, the Issuer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d)Indemnification by the Issuer. The Issuer shall reimburse and indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,

48


whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Indemnified Tax which is suffered or incurred in respect of any Bank Levy, or any payment attributable to, or liability arising as a consequence of, a Bank Levy. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Issuer by a Noteholder (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Noteholder shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)Indemnification by the Noteholders. Each Noteholder shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Noteholder (but only to the extent that the Issuer has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Issuer to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Noteholder’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14.05(g) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Noteholder, in each case, that are payable or paid by (or withheld from payments to) the Administrative Agent in connection with any Notes Documents, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Noteholder by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Noteholder hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Noteholder under any Notes Documents or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Noteholder from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (e).

(f)Status of Successors and Assignees.

(i)Any Noteholder that is a successor or assignee of Perceptive Credit Holdings III, LP and that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Notes Document shall deliver to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent at the time or times reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.03(f)(ii)) shall not be required if in such Noteholder’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Noteholder to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or could materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Noteholder. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Perceptive Credit Holdings III, LP shall not be obligated to take any actions that would disclose the identity of its partners.

(ii)If a payment made to any Noteholder under any Notes Documents would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Noteholder 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 Noteholder shall deliver to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times

49


reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Administrative 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 the Issuer or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Issuer and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Noteholder has complied with such Noteholder’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (ii), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Issuer and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)Treatment of Certain Tax Benefits. If any party to this Agreement determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5.03 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 5.03 (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 5.03(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.03(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if 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 5.03(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h)Mitigation Obligations. If the Issuer is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Noteholder or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Noteholder pursuant to Section 5.01, then such Noteholder shall (at the request of the Issuer) use reasonable efforts to designate a different office for subscribing for or booking its participation in the Notes hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if, in the sole, reasonable judgment of such Noteholder, such designation or assignment and delegation would (i) eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) not subject such Noteholder to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (iii) not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Noteholder. The Issuer hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Noteholder in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.

(i)United Kingdom Requirements.

50


(i)Subject to sub-paragraph (ii) below, a UK Treaty Noteholder (or a Noteholder which would be a UK Treaty Noteholder upon the completion of any necessary procedural formalities) and each Withholding Agent which makes a payment to which that Noteholder is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that Withholding Agent to obtain authorization to make that payment without a UK Tax Deduction.

(ii)Each UK Treaty Noteholder (or a Noteholder which would be a UK Treaty Noteholder upon the completion of any necessary procedural formalities): (A) which is a Noteholder as at the date of this Agreement and that holds a passport under the UK DTTP Scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its UK DTTP Scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence opposite its name on Schedule 1; and (B) that becomes a Noteholder after the date of this Agreement and that holds a passport under the UK DTTP Scheme, and which wishes that scheme apply to such Noteholder’s participation in this Agreement, shall confirm its UK DTTP Scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in the documentation which it executes on becoming a party hereto as a Noteholder, and in each case under (A) and (B) above, having done so, that Noteholder shall be under no further obligation pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above.

(iii)If a Noteholder has confirmed its UK DTTP Scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with sub-paragraph (i)(ii) above and:

(A)the Issuer making a payment to that Noteholder has not made an Issuer DTTP Filing in respect of that Noteholder; or

(B)the Issuer making a payment to that Noteholder has made an Issuer DTTP Filing in respect of that Noteholder but (1) that Issuer DTTP Filing has been rejected by HMRC, (2) HMRC has not given the Issuer authority to make payments to that Noteholder without a UK Tax Deduction within 60 days of the date of the Issuer DTTP Filing, or (3) HMRC has given authority for the Issuer to make payments to that Noteholder without a UK Tax Deduction but such authority has subsequently been revoked, suspended or expired,

and in each case, the Issuer has notified that Noteholder in writing, then the applicable Noteholder shall co-operate with the Issuer in completing any additional procedural formalities necessary for that Issuer to obtain authorization to make that payment without a UK Tax Deduction.

(iv)If a Noteholder has not confirmed its UK DTTP Scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with sub-paragraph (i)(ii) above, no Withholding Agent shall make an Issuer DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the UK DTTP Scheme in respect of a Commitment by such Noteholder or its participation in any advance unless the Noteholder otherwise agrees.

(v)The Issuer shall, promptly on making any Issuer DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of that Issuer DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant Noteholder.

51


(vi)A UK Non-Bank Noteholder shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the applicable UK Tax Confirmation.

(vii)If the Administrative Agent receives a UK Tax Confirmation from a UK Non-Bank Noteholder it shall promptly provide a copy of such UK Tax Confirmation to the Issuer.

(viii)The Issuer shall upon becoming aware that the Issuer must make a UK Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a UK Tax Deduction) notify the Administrative Agent accordingly. Similarly, a Noteholder shall notify the Administrative Agent on becoming aware that a Withholding Agent must make a UK Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of a UK Tax Deduction). If the Administrative Agent receives such notification from a Noteholder, it shall promptly notify the Issuer.

(j)Noteholder Status Confirmation.

(i)Each Noteholder which becomes a party after the date of this Agreement shall indicate in the documentation which it executes on becoming a party which of the following categories it falls into: (A) not a UK Qualifying Noteholder; (B) a UK Qualifying Noteholder (other than a UK Treaty Noteholder); or (C) a UK Treaty Noteholder (or a Noteholder which would be a UK Treaty Noteholder upon the completion of any necessary procedural formalities).

(ii)If a Noteholder fails to indicate its status in respect of the Issuer in accordance with paragraph (j)(i) above, then such Noteholder shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Withholding Agent) as if it is not a UK Qualifying Noteholder until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which categories apply (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall promptly inform the Issuer). For the avoidance of doubt, the documentation which a Noteholder executes on becoming a Party as a Noteholder shall not be invalidated by any failure of such Noteholder to comply with this clause 5.03(j).

(iii)Where a Noteholder will become be a UK Treaty Noteholder only upon the completion of certain procedural formalities, it shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each Withholding Agent) as if it is not a UK Qualifying Noteholder until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent that such procedural formalities are complete (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall promptly inform the Issuer).

(k)VAT.

(i)All amounts expressed to be payable under any Notes Documents by any party to any Secured Party which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for a supply or supplies for VAT purposes shall be deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on such supply or supplies, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (ii) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party to any party under any Notes Documents and:

(A)such Secured Party is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that party shall pay to the Secured Party (in addition to and at the same time

52


as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of such VAT (and such Secured Party shall promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party); or

(B)if such party is required to directly account for such VAT under the reverse charge procedure provided for by article 44 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC, or section 7A of the Value Added Tax Act 1994 of the United Kingdom, in each case, as amended, or any relevant VAT provisions of the jurisdiction in which such party received such supply, then such party shall account for the VAT at the appropriate rate (and the relevant Secured Party must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to such party stating that the amount is charged in respect of a supply that is subject to VAT but that the reverse charge procedure applies).

(ii)If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Secured Party (the “VAT Supplier”) to any other Secured Party (the “VAT Recipient”) under any Notes Documents, and any party other than the VAT Recipient (the “Relevant Party”) is required by the terms of any Notes Documents to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the VAT Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the VAT Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(iii)where the VAT Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, the Relevant Party must also pay to the VAT Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of VAT. The VAT Recipient must (where this sub-paragraph (ii)(A) applies) promptly pay to the Relevant Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the VAT Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the VAT Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

53


unity) of which that party is a member for VAT purposes at the relevant time or the relevant representative member (or head) of that group or unity (or fiscal unity) at the relevant time (as the case may be).

(m)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5.03 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Noteholder, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Notes Documents.

12.09Resignation of the Administrative Agent.

100

12.11Additional Secured Parties. The benefit of the provisions of the Notes Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Noteholder so long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among the Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) this Section 12 and the decisions and actions of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Noteholders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Noteholders) to the same extent a Noteholder is bound; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 12.08 only to the extent of liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of Proportionate Share or similar concept, (ii) each of the Administrative Agent and each Noteholder shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (iii) such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Notes Document.

SECTION 13

13.02Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 13.01 are absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Issuer or any other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by all applicable Laws, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 13.02 that the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, joint and several, under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(a)at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Subsidiary Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(c)the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or

(d)any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Secured Parties as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected.

The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Noteholder exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Issuer or any other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

13.03Reinstatement. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 13 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Issuer in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they shall indemnify the Secured Parties on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented fees of counsel) properly incurred by such

103


Persons in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses properly incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

13.04Subrogation. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that, until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no Claim has been asserted) and the expiration and termination of the Commitments, they shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by them of their guarantee in Section 13.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Issuer or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

13.05Remedies. The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Noteholders, on the other hand, the obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement and under the other Notes Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 11 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 11) for purposes of Section 13.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Issuer and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Issuer) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes of Section 13.01.

13.06Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 13 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Noteholders, at their sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to proceed by motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to N.Y. Civ. Prac. L&R § 3213.

13.07Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 13 is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

13.08General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. (a) In any action or proceeding involving any provincial, territorial or state corporate Law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 13.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 13.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, any Noteholder or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding; and (b) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligations, liabilities and undertakings under this Agreement (including in the guarantee in this section 13) shall not be

104


deemed to be undertaken or incurred by an Irish Subsidiary Guarantor to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance prohibited by Section 82 of the Irish Companies Act (or any analogous provision of any other applicable Law).

SECTION 14

MISCELLANEOUS

14.01No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Noteholders to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Notes Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Notes Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by Law.

14.02Notices. All notices, requests, instructions, directions and other communications provided for herein (including any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) or in the other Notes Documents shall be given or made in writing (including by telecopy or email) delivered, if to the Issuer, another Obligor, the Administrative Agent or any Noteholder, to its address specified on the signature pages hereto or its Guarantee Assumption Agreement, as the case may be, or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties.

(vi)amend this Section 14.04 or the definition of “Majority Noteholders”.

(c)if the Administrative Agent and the Issuer shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the Notes Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Issuer shall be permitted to amend such provision, and, in each case, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Notes Document if the same is not objected to in writing by the Majority Noteholders to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

14.05Successors and Assigns.

(a)General. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Notes Documents shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto or thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby or thereby, except that no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Any Noteholder may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Notes Documents (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.05(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.05(e), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 14.05(h).

107


(b)Assignments by Noteholder. Any Noteholder may at any time transfer or assign to one or more Eligible Transferees (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any Person) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Notes at the time owing to it) and the other Notes Documents; provided that (i) no such assignment shall be made to any Obligor, any Affiliate of any Obligor, or any employees or directors of any Obligor at any time, (ii) no such assignment shall be made without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and (iii) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, no such assignment shall be made without the prior written consent of the Issuer (such consents not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to a Disqualified Institution; provided that the Issuer shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof. Subject to the recording thereof by the Noteholder pursuant to Section 14.05(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of such Noteholder under this Agreement and the other Notes Document, and correspondingly the assigning Noteholder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of a transfer or assignment covering all of the Noteholder’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Noteholder shall cease to be a party hereto) and the other Notes Documents but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5 and Section 14.03. Any assignment or transfer by the Noteholder of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 14.05(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Noteholder of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 14.05(e).

(d)Notes Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Issuer, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Noteholders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Notes owing to, each Noteholder pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Notes Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Noteholders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Noteholder hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Issuer and any Noteholder, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e)Participations. Any Noteholder may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Issuer, sell participations to any Person (other than a Disqualified Institution (so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing), natural person or any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Noteholder’s rights

and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Commitment and/or the Notes owing to it); provided that (i) such Noteholder’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Noteholder shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Issuer shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Noteholder in connection therewith. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which any Noteholder sells such a participation shall provide that such Noteholder shall retain the sole right to enforce the Notes Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Notes Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Noteholder shall not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) increase or extend the term of such Noteholder’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, or (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive such interest. Subject to Section 14.05(f), the Issuer agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein including the requirements under Section 5.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.03(f) shall be delivered to the participating Noteholder)) to the same extent as if it were a Noteholder and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 14.05(b); provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.03(h) as if it were an assignee under Section 14.05(b) above. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.03(a) as though it were a Noteholder.

(f)Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 5.01 or 5.03 than such Noteholder would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, 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.

(g)Participant Register. Each Noteholder that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Issuer, 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 Notes or other Obligations under the Notes Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Noteholder 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, Notes, or its other Obligations under any Notes Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Note, 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 Noteholder 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, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(h)Certain Pledges. Any Noteholder may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Notes Documents to secure obligations of such

109


Noteholder, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Noteholder from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Noteholder as a party hereto.

14.06Survival. The obligations of the Issuer under Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 14.03, 14.05, 14.06, 14.09, 14.10, 14.11, 14.12, 14.13, 14.14 and the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 13 (solely to the extent guaranteeing any of the obligations under the foregoing Sections) shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitment and, in the case of the Noteholders’ assignment of any interest in the Commitment or the Notes hereunder, shall survive, in the case of any event or circumstance that occurred prior to the effective date of such assignment, the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that the Noteholders may cease to be “Noteholders” hereunder. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a Notes Subscription Request, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty.

Each party hereby consents to the execution of this Agreement by way of electronic signature.

14.09Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction; provided that Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law shall apply.

14.10Jurisdiction, Service of Process and Venue.

(a)Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Obligor agrees that any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Notes Document to which it is a party or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof may be brought initially in the federal or state

110


courts in New York, New York and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of each such court for the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding or judgment. This Section 14.10(a) is for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Noteholders only and, as a result, no Noteholder shall be prevented from taking proceedings in any other courts with jurisdiction. To the extent allowed by any applicable Law, the Noteholders may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

(b)Alternative Process. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Administrative Agent and the Noteholders to serve any process or summons in any manner permitted by any applicable Law.

(c)Waiver of Venue, Etc. Each Obligor irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Notes Document and hereby further irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. A final judgment (in respect of which time for all appeals has elapsed) in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Issuer is or may be subject, by suit upon judgment.

14.11Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER NOTES DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

14.12Waiver of Immunity. To the extent that any Obligor may be or become entitled to claim for itself or its property or revenues any immunity on the ground of sovereignty or the like from suit, court jurisdiction, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of a judgment or execution of a judgment, and to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed such an immunity (whether or not claimed), such Obligor hereby irrevocably agrees not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity with respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the other Notes Documents.

This Agreement and the other Notes Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, including (a) any confidentiality (or similar) agreements and (b) the Proposal Letter. EACH OBLIGOR ACKNOWLEDGES, REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IN DECIDING TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER NOTES DOCUMENTS OR IN TAKING OR NOT TAKING ANY ACTION HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, IT HAS NOT RELIED, AND SHALL NOT RELY, ON ANY STATEMENT, REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT, AGREEMENT OR UNDERSTANDING, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OF OR WITH ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE NOTEHOLDERS OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER NOTES DOCUMENTS.

111


14.14Severability. If any provision hereof is found by a court to be invalid or unenforceable, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable Law the parties agree that such invalidity or unenforceability shall not impair the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof.

14.15No Fiduciary Relationship. The Issuer acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Noteholders have no fiduciary relationship with, or fiduciary duty to, the Issuer arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Notes Documents, and the relationship between the Noteholders and the Issuer is solely that of creditor and debtor. This Agreement and the other Notes Documents do not create a joint venture among the parties.

14.16Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Noteholder agree to keep confidential all non-public and other confidential information provided to them in writing by any Obligor pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Obligor as confidential in accordance with its customary procedures for handling its own confidential information; provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Noteholder from disclosing any such information (i) subject to an agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section, to the Administrative Agent, any other Noteholder, any Affiliate of a Noteholder or any Eligible Transferee or other assignee permitted under Section 14.05(b), (ii) subject to an agreement to comply with the provisions of this Section, to any actual or prospective direct or indirect counterparty to any Hedging Agreement (or any professional advisor to such counterparty), (iii) to its employees, officers, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants, trustees and other professional advisors or those of any of its affiliates (collectively, its “Related Parties”); provided that such Related Parties are subject to obligations of confidentiality at least as restrictive as set forth in this Section 14.16, and the applicable Noteholder shall remain liable hereunder for any breach of this Section 14.16 by any of its Related Parties, (iv) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority or any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (v) in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or as may otherwise be required pursuant to any applicable Law, (vi) if requested or required to do so in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding; provided that, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable Law, court order or decree, the Administrative Agent and each Noteholder, as applicable, shall provide prior notice to the Obligor to allow such Obligor an opportunity to obtain a protective order, (vii) that has been publicly disclosed (other than as a result of a disclosure in violation of this Section 14.16), (viii) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Noteholder’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Noteholder, (ix) in connection with the exercise of any remedy permitted hereunder or under any other Notes Document, (x) on a confidential basis to (A) any rating agency in connection with rating the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries or the Notes or (B) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers of other market identifiers with respect to the Notes or (xi) to any other party hereto.

14.17Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Notes, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Notes under applicable Law (collectively, “charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Administrative Agent and the Noteholder holding such Notes in accordance

112


with applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Notes hereunder, together with all charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. To the extent lawful, the interest and charges that would have been paid in respect of such Notes but were not paid as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and charges payable to such Noteholder in respect of other Notes or periods shall be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Noteholder. Any amount collected by such Noteholder that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of such Notes so that at no time shall the interest and charges paid or payable in respect of such Notes exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate.

14.18Early Redemption Fee. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, to the extent the Early Redemption Fee is applicable to any repurchase, repayment or redemption of principal of any Notes at any time, such Early Redemption Fee is not intended to be a penalty assessed as a result of any such repurchase, repayment or redemption of the Notes, but rather is the product of a good faith, arm’s length commercial negotiation between the Issuer and the Noteholders relating to the mutually satisfactory compensation payable to the Noteholders by the Issuer in respect of the Notes made hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Obligors hereby jointly and severally waive any rights or Claims any of them may have under any such applicable Law (whether or not in effect on the Closing Date) that would prohibit or restrict the payment of the Early Redemption Fee under any of the circumstances provided herein or in any other Notes Document, including payment after acceleration of the Notes.

14.19Judgment Currency.

(a)If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Administrative Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at the buying spot rate of exchange in the New York foreign exchange market on the Business Day immediately preceding that on which any such judgment, or any relevant part thereof, is given.

(b)The obligations of the Obligors in respect of any sum due to the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Notes Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase Dollars with such other currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, the Issuer agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent against such loss. If the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, the Administrative Agent shall remit such excess to the Issuer.

113


14.20USA PATRIOT Act. The Administrative Agent and the Noteholders hereby notify the Obligors that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Obligors, which information includes the name and address of each Obligor and other information that will allow such Person to identify such Obligor in accordance with the Patriot Act.

14.21Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Notes Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Notes Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

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

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

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

(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Notes Document; or

(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
