If any withholding or deduction of any Taxes from any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Note 40 US-DOCS\127429400.24 |
Party hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such withholding or deduction and shall pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by applicable law, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall promptly forward to the Purchasers an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Required Purchasers evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority and (iii) the sum payable by the applicable Note Party shall be increased by such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the applicable Recipient will equal the full amount such Recipient would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. (b)The Issuer shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes with respect to any Note Document or any payment thereunder (including Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment by such Recipient 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. (c)Each Purchaser that purports to become an assignee of an interest pursuant to Section 12.06 after the Closing Date shall execute and deliver to the Issuer on or prior to the date that such Purchaser becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer), one or more (as the Issuer may reasonably request) duly completed and executed copies of any forms, certificates or documents reasonably requested by the Issuer certifying as to such Purchaser’s entitlement to any available exemption from or reduction of withholding or deduction of taxes. The Issuer shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.01 with respect to taxes attributable to the failure of such Purchaser to comply with this paragraph. (d)Each Purchaser agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such form or certification or promptly notify the Issuer of its inability to do so. (e)Each of the parties to the Agreement shall, within ten (10) days of a reasonable request by another party to the Agreement, supply to that other party: (i) such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with FATCA, and (ii) such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other Party’s compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime, such as the Common Reporting Standard. (f)If a Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), 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 3.01 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and documented 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 3.01(f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed 41 US-DOCS\127429400.24 |
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 3.01(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 3.01(f) 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 3.01(f) 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. 3.02 Survival. All of the Note Parties’ obligations under this Article III shall survive any transfer of the Notes, the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of the Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of the Agent. 3.03 Mitigation of Obligations. If the Issuer is required to pay any Taxes or additional amounts to any Purchaser or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.01, then at the request of the Issuer, such Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for purchasing its Notes hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Purchaser such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Purchaser to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Purchaser. The Issuer hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred by any Purchaser in connection with any such designation or assignment.

With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Agent or any Purchaser exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Note Documents, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Note Documents, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations. 4.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of 43 US-DOCS\127429400.24 |
any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Secured Party in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses 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. 4.04 Certain Additional Waivers. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.02 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.06. 4.05 Remedies. The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01. The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Purchasers may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof. 4.06 Rights of Contribution. The Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other Guarantors as permitted under applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the obligations of such Guarantors under the Note Documents and no Guarantor shall exercise such rights of contribution until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full and the Commitments have been terminated. 4.07 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee.

Upon the acceleration (including automatic acceleration triggered by any insolvency proceeding pursuant to Section 9.01(f)), all outstanding Notes, accrued and unpaid interest and the other Obligations become immediately due and payable. If the Obligations are accelerated for any reason, the PIK Interest paid on the Notes on or prior to the date of such acceleration shall be deemed earned in full and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Purchaser’s lost profits as a result thereof. In the event that the 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, the PIK Interest paid on the Notes on or prior to the date of such satisfaction or release shall also be earned in full. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE ISSUER EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PIK INTEREST IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Issuer expressly agrees that (i) the PIK Interest on the Notes is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the PIK Interest on the Notes shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Purchasers and the Issuer giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the PIK Interest on the Notes, and (iv) the Issuer shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Issuer expressly acknowledge that their agreement to pay the PIK Interest on the Notes is a material inducement to the Purchasers to purchase the Notes hereunder. 9.03 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.02 (or after the Notes have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the proviso to Section 9.02), subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, any amounts received by any Purchaser or the Agent on account of the Obligations shall be applied in the following order: First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, and costs and expenses incurred in connection with any enforcement or realization of the Collateral) payable to the Agent in its capacity as Agent under the Note Documents; Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest and any applicable Make-Whole Premium) payable to the Purchasers arising under the Note Documents and amounts payable under Article III, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them; Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, ratably among the Purchasers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third held by them; Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid principal of the Notes, ratably among the Purchasers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them; 91 US-DOCS\127429400.24 |

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Purchasers, and neither the Issuer nor any other Note Party shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions (other than as expressly provided herein). It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Note Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties. (b)The Agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Agent pursuant to Section 11.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article XI and Article XII, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “agent” under the Note Documents as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. (c)Each Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it has received and reviewed the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. The Agent is hereby authorized to enter into the Collateral Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and each Purchaser agrees to be bound by the terms thereof and directs the Agent to enter into such Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Purchaser. (d)[Reserved]. (e)The Agent is hereby authorized to enter into any WC Intercreditor Agreement or subordination agreement contemplated by Section 8.03(f), in each case, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and each Purchaser agrees to be bound by the terms thereof and directs the Agent to enter 92 US-DOCS\127429400.24 |
into such WC Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Purchaser in connection with a Working Capital Facility or such subordination agreement on behalf of such Purchaser and agrees that the Agent may take such actions on its behalf as is contemplated by the terms of such WC Intercreditor Agreement or such subordination agreement. In addition, each Purchaser, the Agent acknowledge and agree that (a) the exercise of any rights and remedies of the Agent and the Purchasers hereunder and under the other Note Documents as a secured creditor solely in respect of any Working Capital Priority Collateral shall be subject to such WC Intercreditor Agreement and (b) in the event of any conflict between the provisions of such WC Intercreditor Agreement and the provisions of this Agreement or the other Note Documents, the provisions of such WC Intercreditor Agreement shall govern. (f)To the extent a decision or action requires the consent of the Required Purchasers, the Agent shall only act (or refrain from acting) at the direction of the Required Purchasers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent may exercise any discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Note Documents or otherwise delegated to the Agent under any Note Document at the direction of the Required Purchasers and without the consent of any other Purchaser. 11.02 [Reserved]. 11.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Note Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent (and any sub-agent thereof): (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (b) shall not 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 Note Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Note Documents); provided, that, the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Note Document or applicable Law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law; and (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Note Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Note Party or any of its Affiliates or any Collateral that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided herein or under the other Note Documents) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Agent by the Issuer or a Purchaser. 93 US-DOCS\127429400.24 |
The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Note Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Note Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Note Documents, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent, (vi) the financial condition or business affairs of the Issuer or any other Note Party, or (vii) the use of the proceeds of the Notes.

The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the purchase of any Note, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Purchaser, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Purchaser unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Purchaser prior to the purchase of such Note. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Note Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Agent may request (i) instructions from the Required Purchasers (or such greater percentage of holders of the Notes required) prior to taking any action or entering into any amendment, modification or supplement, making any determination, making any calculation, sending any notice, revoking any notice, making a selection, request, election or appointment (including failing to make a selection, request, election or appointment), exercising any voting rights or powers (including failing to exercise any voting rights or powers), exercising any rights or remedies (and all actions incidental or related thereto), releasing, subordinating and/or terminating any Lien, exercising any powers as the attorney-in-fact for the Issuer or any other Note Party, providing any consent, approval, instruction or direction (including failing to provide any consent, approval, instruction or direction) or making (or failing to make) any filing or recording in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents, and may refrain (and shall incur no liability from so refraining) from taking or omitting to take any act or making any such determination, calculation, selection request, exercising such voting rights or powers or providing such notice, approval or consent or entering into any amendments, modification or supplements until it receives such instruction (or calculation, as applicable) from the Required Purchasers (or such number or percentage of the holders of the Notes as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided for herein or in the other Note Documents) and (ii) such indemnity from the holders of the Notes, in each case, as it reasonably deems appropriate (and until such instructions and indemnity, as applicable, are received, the Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it 94 US-DOCS\127429400.24 |
deems advisable in its sole discretion) and the Agent shall not incur liability to any holder of the Notes, the Issuer or any other Note Party by reason of so refraining. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Note Documents in accordance with a written instruction of the Required Purchasers (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all of the holders of the Notes), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the holders of the Notes and all future holders of the Notes. 11.05 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Note Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents. 11.06 Resignation or Removal of the Agent. The Agent may resign (or be removed by the Required Purchasers) as Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days advance notice thereof to the Purchasers and the Issuer and, thereafter, the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Purchasers shall have the right, subject to the approval of the Issuer (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor Agent (other than a Disqualified Institution). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Purchasers, been approved (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) by the Issuer or have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Purchasers’ giving of notice of removal, as applicable, then the Agent may, on behalf of the Purchasers, appoint a successor Agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuer (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) (in each case, other than a Disqualified Institution). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 11.06 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. If no successor has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation or the Required Purchasers’ giving of notice of removal, as applicable, the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Purchasers shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Purchasers appoint a successor agent as provided for above. In the event that a new Agent is appointed and such Agent is not an Affiliate of the holders of a majority in interest of the Notes, then the Issuer shall agree to pay to such Agent the fees and expenses (such fees to be payable annually in advance) that such Agent may reasonably request in connection with its appointment and service. 11.07 Non-Reliance on the Agent and Other Purchasers. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it 95 US-DOCS\127429400.24 |
has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Purchaser or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Note Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. 11.08 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Note Party, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Note shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Issuer) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Purchasers and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Purchasers and the Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Purchasers and the Agent under Section 12.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and (b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Purchaser to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Purchasers, to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Agent under Section 12.04. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Purchaser any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Purchaser or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Purchaser in any such proceeding. ARTICLE XII MISCELLANEOUS 12.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document, and no consent to any departure by the Issuer or any other Note Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by (i) the Required Purchasers (or the Agent at the written direction of the Required Purchasers) and (ii) the Issuer or the applicable Note Party, as the case may be, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, further, that: 96 US-DOCS\127429400.24 |

No failure by any Purchaser or the Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Note Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

(c)Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Issuer shall (and shall cause each Note Party and all of their respective Subsidiaries to) not assert, and the Issuer hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Note Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Note or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Note Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

12.05 Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Agent or the Purchasers shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Note Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Note Party is made to the Agent or any Purchaser, or the Agent or any Purchaser 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 Agent or such Purchaser in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred. 12.06 Successors and Assigns; Transfers. (a)Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Note Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Issuer and the other Note Parties may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchasers. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (h) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Agent and the Purchasers) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. (b)Transfers by Purchasers. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to transfer, without restriction (but other than to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person) or a Disqualified Institution) and subject to the consent of the Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such transfer or (2) such transfer is to a Purchaser, an Affiliate of a Purchaser, any Approved Fund or any limited partner or other investor in a fund managed by a Purchaser and through which such Purchaser holds Notes), any Note or Commitment held by such Purchaser; provided that in no event shall any equity holder of the Issuer (other than a Purchaser, its Affiliates, any Approved Fund or any limited partner or other investor in a fund managed by a Purchaser and through which such Purchaser holds Notes) or any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates purchase or be the recipient of a transfer of any Note without the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers.For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent shall have no obligation with respect to, and shall bear no responsibility or liability for, the monitoring or enforcing of the list of Persons who are Disqualified Institutions (or any provisions relating thereto) at any time. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph relating to Disqualified Institutions. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not (x) be obligated to ascertain, monitor or inquire as to whether any Purchaser or participant is a Disqualified Institution or (y) have any liability with respect to or arising out of any assignment or participation of notes or commitments under this Agreement, or disclosure of confidential information, to any Disqualified Institution. 102 US-DOCS\127429400.24 |
(c)Transfer in Contravention of this Section Void. Any attempt to transfer any Note or portion thereof not in compliance with this Agreement shall be null and void and neither the Issuer nor any transfer agent shall give any effect in the Issuer’s Note register to such attempted transfer. (d)No Future Liability. Following the sale of any Note or portion thereof by the Purchasers to any subsequent Purchasers pursuant to the terms hereof, the Purchasers shall not be liable or responsible to the Issuer for any losses, damages or liabilities suffered or incurred by the Issuer, including any losses, damages or liabilities under the Securities Act, arising from or relating to any resale or transfer of any security previously sold by the Purchaser in compliance with this Section 12.06. (e)Securities Register. The Issuer will keep at its principal executive office a register, in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, but at its expense, and the Issuer will provide for the registration and transfer of Notes. Whenever any Note shall be surrendered either at the principal executive office of the Issuer (or at the place of payment named in the Note), for transfer or exchange, accompanied, if so required by the Issuer, by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer duly executed by the holder thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Issuer will execute and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note or Notes, in such denominations as may be requested by such holder, of like tenor and in the same aggregate unpaid principal amount as the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Note or Notes so surrendered. Any Note issued in exchange for any other Note or upon transfer thereof shall carry the rights to unpaid interest and interest to accrue which were carried by the Note so exchanged or transferred, and neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from any such transfer or exchange. Any transfer tax or governmental charge relating to such transaction shall be paid by the holder requesting the exchange. The entries in the register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error and the Issuer, the Purchasers and any of their respective agents may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the sole and exclusive record and beneficial holder and owner of such Note for all purposes whatsoever. This Section 12.06(e) shall be construed so as to conform with the registration requirements in Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c) (or any successor provisions thereof) and so that such obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code and any related Treasury Regulations (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or such Treasury Regulations). (f)Lost, Stolen Damaged or Destroyed Notes. At the request of any holder of any Note, the Issuer will issue and deliver at its expense, in replacement of any Note lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, upon surrender thereof, if mutilated, a new Note in the same aggregate unpaid principal amount, and otherwise of the same tenor, as the Note so lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, duly executed by the Issuer. The Issuer may condition the replacement of a Note reported by the holder thereof as lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, upon the receipt from such holder of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer. (g)Reserved. (h)Participations. Any Purchaser may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Issuer or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than (x) a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person) or a Disqualified Institution or (y) the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, except, in the case of this clause (y), if such Person is a Purchaser, an Affiliate of a Purchaser, any Approved Fund or any limited partner or other investor in a fund managed by a Purchaser and through which such Purchaser holds Notes) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Purchaser’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Notes); provided, that, (i) such 103 US-DOCS\127429400.24 |
Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Issuer, the Agent and the other Purchasers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Purchaser shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 12.04(d) without regard to the existence of any participation. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Purchaser sells such a participation shall provide that such Purchaser shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Purchaser will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 12.01(a) that affects such Participant. The Issuer agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(c) shall be delivered to the participating Purchaser)) and Sections 10.01 and 10.02 to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided, that, such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 10.01 or 10.02, with respect to any participation, than the Purchaser from whom it acquired the applicable participation 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. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though it were a Purchaser; provided, that, such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Purchaser. Each Purchaser 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 (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser 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 Note) 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 Treasury Regulations Section 5f.103-1(c). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser 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. (i)Certain Pledges. Any Purchaser may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Purchaser, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that, no such pledge or assignment shall release such Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Purchaser as a party hereto. 12.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Agent and the Purchasers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) as may be reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Note Document or any action 104 US-DOCS\127429400.24 |
or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Note Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any Participant, assignee or transferee (or its Related Parties) of, or any prospective Participant, assignee or transferee (or its Related Parties) of, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to a Note Party and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Issuer or their Subsidiaries or the Notes or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the Notes, (h) with the consent of the Issuer, (i) to the members of its investment committee (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (j) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Agent, any Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Note Parties, (k) for purposes of establishing any defense available under securities laws, including, without limitation, establishing a “due diligence” defense or (l) to the extent independently developed by such the Agent, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates without reliance on the Information. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Note Party or any Subsidiary relating to the Note Parties or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any Purchaser on a nonconfidential basis, provided, that, in the case of information received from a Note Party or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 12.08 Set-off. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Purchaser and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable 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 such Purchaser or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Issuer or any other Note Party against any and all of the obligations of the Issuer or such Note Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Note Document to such Purchaser or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Purchaser or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Note Document and although such obligations of the Issuer or such Note Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of such Purchaser different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Purchaser and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Purchaser or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Purchaser agrees to notify the Issuer promptly after any such setoff and application, provided, that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 12.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Note Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Note Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any Purchaser shall receive interest in an amount 105 US-DOCS\127429400.24 |
that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Notes or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Issuer. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Agent or a Purchaser exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder. 12.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and each of the other Note Documents may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Note Documents, the Equity Issuance Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by fax transmission or e-mail transmission (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other Note Documents or certificate. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent a manually executed counterpart is not specifically required to be delivered under the terms of any Loan Document, upon the request of any party, such fax transmission or e-mail transmission shall be promptly followed by such manually executed counterpart. 12.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made by any Note Party hereunder and in any other Note Document or Equity Issuance Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Note or other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Agent and each Purchaser, regardless of any investigation made by the Agent or any Purchaser or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent or any Purchaser may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any purchase of the Notes, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Note or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. 12.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Note Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Note Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 12.13 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. (a)GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING 106 US-DOCS\127429400.24 |
TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. (b)SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH NOTE PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT (AND IT WILL NOT PERMIT ANY NOTE PARTY TO) COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE AGENT, ANY PURCHASER OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY OTHER FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND ANY UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF LOCATED IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.
