In consideration of, among other things, the Investor's execution and delivery of this Agreement and consideration of the Investor's entry into the Transaction Documents, and for other good and valuable consideration the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the Company, the Company, on behalf of itself, its predecessors, successors and assigns, Subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "Releasors"), hereby forever (i) agrees and covenants not to xxx or prosecute against any Releasee (as defined below) and (ii) conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably and forever releases, waives, and discharges to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Releasee from, any and all claims (including, without limitation, crossclaims, counterclaims, rights of set-off and recoupment), actions, causes of action, suits, debts, accounts, interests, liens, promises, obligations, warranties, liabilities, damages and consequential and punitive damages, demands, agreements, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, controversies, variances, trespasses, judgments, executions, costs, expenses or claims whatsoever (collectively, the "Claims"), of whatsoever nature and kind, whether known or unknown, whether arising at law or in equity, that such Releasor has against the Investor or would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively) in any capacity against its affiliates, shareholders and "controlling persons" (within the meaning of the federal securities laws), and their respective predecessors, successors and assigns and each and all of the officers, directors, employees, and agents, attorneys, advisors, auditors, consultants and other representatives of each of the foregoing (collectively, the "Releasees"), based in whole or in part on facts whether or not now known, from the beginning of time through and including the date of this Agreement, that relate to, arise out of or otherwise are in connection with any or all of the Investor's Notes, the Investor's Existing Notes, the Security Documents, the other Transaction Documents and any other agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between the Releasor and the Releasee (collectively, the "Released Documents"), or any transactions contemplated thereby or any acts or omissions in


DOC ID - 26661429.16	- 22 -

connection therewith; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not release the Releasee from its express obligations under any of the Released Documents.

9.MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(b)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile or .pdf signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile or .pdf signature.

(c)Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

(d)Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid


DOC ID - 26661429.16	- 23 -

provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

(e)Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Investor, the Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor the Investor makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Investor; provided, that the provisions of Section 4(m) cannot be amended without the additional prior written approval of the Collateral Agent or its successor. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 9(e) shall be binding upon the Investor and holder of Securities and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the Investor or holders of Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents or holders of Notes. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with the Investor relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, the Investor has not made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company or otherwise.

(f)Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party) or by electronic mail; or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

(g)Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the Notes. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, including by way of a Fundamental Transaction (unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Notes). The Investor may assign some or all of its rights hereunder without the consent of the Company, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be the Investor hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.

(h)No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that each Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the Company with respect to Section 9(k).

(i)Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 7, the representations and warranties of the Company and the Investor contained in Sections 2 and 3, and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5, 8 and 9 shall survive each Closing. The Investor shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

(j)Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(k) Indemnification.

(i)In consideration of the Investor's execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company's other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and each other holder of the Securities and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons' agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys' fees and


DOC ID - 26661429.16	- 26 -

disbursements (the "Indemnified Liabilities"), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (iii) any disclosure made by the Investor pursuant to Section 4(h), or (iv) the status of the Investor or holder of the Securities as an investor in the Company pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.

(ii)Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 9(k) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 9(k), deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for such Indemnitee to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnitee, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnitee and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. Legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Required Holders. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liabilities by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or Indemnified Liabilities. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnitee fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liabilities or litigation and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall


DOC ID - 26661429.16	- 27 -

be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 9(k), except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(iii)The indemnification required by this Section 9(k) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.

(iv)The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

(l)No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

(m)Remedies. The Investor and each holder of the Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Investor. The Company therefore agrees that the Investor shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

(n)Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever the Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Investor may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

(o)Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Investor hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Investor enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal


DOC ID - 26661429.16	- 28 -

law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration 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 enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

(p)Independent Nature of the Investors' Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any Other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Investor under any Other Agreement. Nothing contained herein or in any Other Agreement, and no action taken by the Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the Company acknowledges that the Investors are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges and the Investor confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any Other investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. As used herein, "Other Agreement" means agreements in the form of this Agreement (other than the reimbursement of legal fees, proportional changes reflecting such Other Investors' Notes purchased thereunder and any and all provision relating to the closing(s) under such agreements) pursuant to which such Other Investors shall each purchase Notes at a closing to occur within three (3) Business Days of the Initial Closing Date.

(q)Equal Treatment Acknowledgement; Most Favored Nations. The parties hereto herby acknowledge and agree that, in accordance with Section 9(e) of each of the 2015 SPA and the 2016 SPA, the Company is obligated to present the terms of this offering to each holder of Existing Notes; provided that each Other Agreement shall be negotiated separately with each Other Investor. The Company and the Investor hereby acknowledge and agree that by offering to the holders of Existing Notes the opportunity to participate in the purchase of Notes, the Company shall have treated all holders of the Existing Notes equally and the transactions contemplated hereby therefore shall not be deemed to disproportionately and materially adversely affect any holders of Existing Notes even if such holders of Existing Notes elect not to purchase Notes. The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees that none of the terms offered to any Person with respect to the purchase of any Notes (each a "Purchase Document"), is or will be more favorable to such Person (other than any reimbursement of legal fees) than those of the Investor and this Agreement. If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company enters into a Purchase Document, then (i) the Company shall provide notice thereof to the Investor immediately following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be, without any further action by the Investor or the Company, automatically amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Investor shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such Purchase Document, provided that upon written


DOC ID - 26661429.16	- 29 -

notice to the Company at any time the Investor may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this Agreement shall apply to the Investor as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Investor. The provisions of this Section 9(q) shall apply similarly and equally to each Purchase Document.
