Exclusion of Certain Warrants The Company agrees that the redemption rights provided in Section 6.1 shall not apply to the Private Placement Warrants, the Working Capital Warrants or the Post-IPO Warrants (if such Post-IPO Warrants provide that they are non-redeemable by the Company) if at the time of the redemption such Private Placement Warrants, Working Capital Warrants or Post-IPO Warrants continue to be held by the Sponsor or any Permitted Transferees, as applicable. However, once such Private Placement Warrants, Working Capital Warrants or Post-IPO Warrants are transferred (other than to Permitted Transferees under Section 2.6), the Company may redeem the Private Placement Warrants, the Working Capital Warrants or the Post-IPO Warrants (if the Post-IPO Warrants permit such redemption by their terms) pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof, provided that the criteria for redemption are met, including the opportunity of the holder of such Private Placement Warrants, Working Capital Warrants or Post-IPO Warrants to exercise the Private Placement Warrants, the Working Capital Warrants or the Post-IPO Warrants prior to redemption pursuant to Section 6.1. The Private Placement Warrants, the Working Capital Warrants or the Post-IPO Warrants (if such Post-IPO Warrants provide that they are non-redeemable by the Company) that are transferred to persons other than Permitted Transferees shall upon such transfer cease to be Private Placement Warrants, Working Capital Warrants or Post-IPO Warrants and shall become Public Warrants under this Agreement.

Modification of Certain Agreements Each Credit Party will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to, consent to any amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of, or enter into any forbearance from exercising any rights with respect to the terms or provisions contained in (a) any Organization Documents of a Credit Party, in each case, other than any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification or forbearance that could not reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Secured Parties (except with the consent of the Required Lenders) or if required by law, (b) any document, agreement or instrument evidencing or governing any Indebtedness that has been subordinated to the Obligations in right of payment or secured by any Liens that have been subordinated in priority to the Liens of Agent unless such amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification is permitted under the terms of the subordination or intercreditor agreement applicable thereto or could not reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the interests of the Secured Parties (it being understood that the foregoing shall not prohibit the refinancing, replacement or exchange of such Indebtedness), or (c) the Acquisition Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (as defined in the Acquisition Agreement) (collectively, the “Acquisition Documents”), in each case, other than any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification or forbearance that could not reasonably be expected to be adverse to the interests of the Secured Parties (except with the consent of the Required Lenders); provided, that, any amendment, supplement, waiver or modification or forbearance of the Acquisition Documents such that any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries become directly or indirectly liable with respect to the Deferred Purchase Price shall be deemed adverse to the interests of the Secured Parties.
Construction of Certain Phrases (a) For purposes of this Agreement, references to the “Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that if Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.
(b) For purposes of this Agreement, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Agreement.
