Concerning the Collateral Agent The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. is entering into this Security Agreement not in its individual capacity, but solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent under the Indenture. In acting hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all of the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and indemnities granted to the Collateral Agent under the Indenture as if such rights, privileges, protections, immunities and indemnities were set forth herein. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Security Agreement or for or in respect of the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made solely by the Grantors. The Collateral Agent, when making any determination or granting any approval under the terms of this Security Agreement shall be entitled to act upon the instructions of Holders of a majority of the aggregate outstanding amount of Notes and shall not be required to make any such determination or grant any such approval until it has received such instructions. In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the foregoing: (i) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it (who may be counsel to one or more Grantors). The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual, constructive, direct or indirect knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless and until the Collateral Agent has received written notice from a Secured Party, an Authorized Representative or the Issuer referring to the applicable Secured Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that it is a “notice of default” or a “notice of event of default,” setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances thereof and stating that the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely on such notice without further inquiry. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation or duty prior to or after receiving any such notice to inquire whether a Default or Event of Default has in fact occurred and shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in so relying, on any such notice furnished to it. (ii) The Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible to any party for any failure by a Grantor to maintain a perfected security interest in such Grantor’s property constituting Collateral. (iii) The parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to request any action or document or exercise any discretion provided for hereunder. (iv) For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall act only within the United States, and shall not be subject to any foreign law, be required to act in any jurisdiction located outside the United States or be required to execute any foreign law governed document. (v) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, epidemics or pandemics, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Collateral Agent shall use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances. (vi) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be responsible or liable for special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Collateral Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action. (vii) For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any provision hereof, the Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for (1) perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the Security Interest or Lxxxx granted hereunder or under the Indenture, any other Security Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, (2) the filing, refiling, recording, re-recording or continuing of any document, financing statement, mortgage, assignment, notice, instrument of further assurance or other instrument in any public office at any time or times or (3) providing, maintaining, monitoring or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to the Collateral, the actions described in clauses (1) through (3) hereof being the sole responsibility of the Grantors. (viii) The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or this Security Agreement, or for the validity of the title of any Grantor to the Collateral, or for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Security Agreement or of any of the Security Documents or the Indenture by the Issuer or the Guarantors. (ix) The Collateral Agent shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for (and the Grantors, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify the Collateral Agent for, and hold it harmless from), any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law or as a result of release or threatened release of hazardous material, as a result of this Security Agreement, the Indenture or any other Security Document.

Concerning the Shares The Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be the Legal Counsel Opinion (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation S, or other applicable exemption, or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement (and subject to the removal provisions set forth below), until such time as the Conversion Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation S, or other applicable exemption without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, each certificate for the Conversion Shares that has not been so included in an effective registration statement or that has not been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption that permits removal of the legend, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form, as appropriate: The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue to the Holder a certificate for the applicable Conversion Shares without such legend upon which it is stamped or (as requested by the Holder) issue the applicable Conversion Shares by electronic delivery by crediting the account of such holder’s broker with DTC, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws: (a) such Conversion Shares are registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation S, or other applicable exemption without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) the Company or the Holder provides the Legal Counsel Opinion (as contemplated by and in accordance with Section 4(m) of the Purchase Agreement) to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Conversion Shares may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected. The Company shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent and all DTC fees associated with any such issuance. The Holder agrees to sell all Conversion Shares, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Holder with respect to the transfer of Conversion Shares pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation S, or other applicable exemption, at the Deadline, notwithstanding that the conditions of Rule 144, Rule 144A, Regulation S, or other applicable exemption, as applicable, have been met, it will be considered an Event of Default under this Note.
