(a) Term Loan.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and relying on the representations and warranties set forth herein, each Lender, severally
and not jointly, agrees to provide its share of the Term Loan to the Borrowers on the Funding Date in Dollars in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment. No Lender shall have an obligation to make a Term Loan in excess of such Lender’s
Commitment.
(ii) The Borrowers may make one Borrowing under the Commitment which shall be on the Funding Date. Subject to Section 3.03, all amounts owed
hereunder with respect to the Term Loan shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date. Each Lender’s Commitment shall terminate immediately and without further action on the earlier of (A) the Funding Date after giving effect to the funding
of such Lender’s Commitment on such date and (B) the Commitment Termination Date.
(iii) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 6.02), the Administrative Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent a fully executed Borrowing Notice no later than 5 p.m. (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day in advance of the Funding Date.
(b) Any principal amount of the Term Loan borrowed under Section 2.01(a) hereof and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
Section 2.02. Proportionate Shares. The Term Loan shall
be made, and all participations purchased, by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Proportionate Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s
obligation to make a Term Loan hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall the Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Term Loan
requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.
(a) On the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the provisions of the Fee Letter and for distribution
to each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan, the Closing Fee. Such payments shall be in addition to such fees, costs and expenses due and payable pursuant to Section 13.03.
(b) On the Funding Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent (out of the proceeds of the Term Loan advanced by the Lenders on the
Funding Date), in accordance with the provisions of the Fee Letter and for distribution to each Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan, the Funding Fee. Such payments shall be in addition to such fees, costs and expenses due
and payable pursuant to Section 13.03.
- 40 -
Section 2.04. Notes. Upon the request of any Lender,
the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender one or more Notes evidencing the portion of the Term Loan payable to such Lender (or if requested by it, to it and its registered assigns).
(a) for general corporate purposes permitted hereunder,
(b) to refinance Convertible Notes outstanding as of the Funding Date, and
(c) to pay, in accordance with the funds flow attached to the Borrowing Notice, fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions.
Section 3.01. Repayment. There will be no scheduled
repayments of principal on the Term Loan prior to the Maturity Date. The entire outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
(a) Interest Generally. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Lenders interest in cash on the outstanding
principal amount of the Term Loan for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (i) LIBOR plus (ii) the Applicable Margin.
(b) Benchmark Replacement.
(i) Replacing LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”),
the regulatory supervisor of LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of 1-month LIBOR tenor settings. On the earlier of (A) the date
that all Available Tenors of LIBOR have either permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or have been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and (B) the Early
Opt-in Effective Date, if the then-current Benchmark is LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent
settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the foregoing has occurred and a Benchmark Replacement has not been agreed upon between the Administrative Agent and
the Administrative Borrower, the Term Loan shall bear interest at LIBOR as of the end of the then immediately preceding Interest Period, until such time as a Benchmark Replacement has been determined, plus the Applicable Margin.
- 41 -
(ii) Replacing Future Benchmarks. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the Benchmark
Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark
Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of
objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
(iii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration
of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments
implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
(iv) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the
Administrative Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative
Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.02(b), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any
decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required
pursuant to this Section 3.02(b).
(v) Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of
a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including
Benchmark Replacement) settings and (B) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.
- 42 -
(c) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, the Applicable Margin shall increase automatically by 3.00% per annum (the interest rate, as increased pursuant to this Section 3.02(c), being the, the “Default Rate”). Notwithstanding any
other provision herein, if interest is required to be paid at the Default Rate, it shall also be paid entirely in cash. If any Obligation is not paid when due (giving effect to any applicable grace period) under the applicable Loan Document, the
amount thereof shall accrue interest at a rate equal to 3.00% per annum (without duplication of interest payable at the Default Rate). Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 3.02(c) is not a permitted
alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
(d) Payment Dates. Accrued interest on the Term Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date with
respect to the most recently completed Interest Period in cash, and upon the payment or prepayment of the Term Loan (on the principal amount being so paid or prepaid); provided that interest payable at the
Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand by the Majority Lenders.
(e) Maximum Rate; Interest at a Criminal Rate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no
event will any interest or rates referred to herein exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable Law. If such maximum interest rate would be exceeded by the terms hereof, the rates of interest payable hereunder will be reduced to the
extent necessary so that such rates (together with any fees or other amounts which are construed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest or in the nature of interest) equal the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable Law and any
overpayment of interest received by the Lenders before such rates are so construed will be applied, forthwith after determination of such overpayment, to pay all then outstanding interest, and thereafter to pay outstanding principal. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document would oblige any Obligor to make any payment of interest or any other payment which is construed
by a court of competent jurisdiction to be interest in an amount or calculated at a rate which would result in a receipt by any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender of interest at a criminal rate (as such terms are construed under the Criminal Code (Canada)), then notwithstanding such provision, such amount or rate shall be deemed to have been adjusted nunc pro tunc to the maximum amount or rate of
interest, as the case may be, as would not so result in a receipt by the Lender of interest at a criminal rate, such adjustment to be effected, to the extent necessary as follows:
(i) first, by reducing the amount or rate of interest required to be paid under this Agreement or such other Loan Document; and
(ii) thereafter, by reducing any fees, commissions, premiums or other amounts required to be paid which would constitute interest for the purposes
of Section 347 of the Criminal Code (Canada).
- 43 -
If, notwithstanding the provisions immediately above and after giving effect to all adjustments contemplated thereby, any of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender shall have received an amount in excess of the maximum permitted by Law, then such excess shall be applied to the reduction of the balance of outstanding principal and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds such
principal balance, such excess shall be refunded to the Obligor, as applicable.
(f) Interest Act (Canada). For the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) and
disclosure under such Act only:
(i) wherever interest to be paid under this Agreement is to be calculated on the basis of any period of time that is less than a calendar year (a "deemed year"), such rate of interest shall be expressed as a yearly rate by multiplying such rate of interest for the deemed year by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the rate is to be
ascertained and dividing it by the number of days in the deemed year; and
(ii) each Obligor confirms that it fully understands and is able to calculate the rate of interest applicable to each of the credit facilities made
available hereunder based on the methodology for calculating per annum rates provided for in this Agreement. The Administrative Agent agrees that, if requested in writing by the Administrative Borrower, it shall calculate the nominal and effective
per annum rate of interest on any advance outstanding hereunder at any time and provide such information to the Administrative Borrower promptly following such request; provided that any error in any such
calculation, or any failure to provide such information on request, shall not relieve any Obligor of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor result in any liability to the Administrative Agent. Each Obligor hereby
irrevocably agrees not to plead or assert, whether by way of defense or otherwise, in any proceeding relating to the Loan Documents, that the interest payable under the Loan Documents and the calculation thereof has not been adequately disclosed to
the Obligors, whether pursuant to Section 4 of the Interest Act (Canada) or any other applicable law or legal principle.
(a) Optional Prepayments.
(i) The Borrowers shall have the right to optionally prepay in whole or in part (in a minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000
in excess of that amount for each partial prepayment, or, if less, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan) the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan on any Business Day (a “Redemption Date”)
for an amount equal to the sum of (x) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid, (y) the applicable Prepayment Premium in respect of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid and (z) any accrued but unpaid
interest in respect of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid (such aggregate amount, the “Redemption Price”). The applicable “Prepayment Premium”
shall be an amount calculated pursuant to Section 3.03(a)(ii).
- 44 -
(ii) If the Redemption Date occurs:
(A) on or prior to the first anniversary of the Funding Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid on such Redemption Date;
(B) after the first anniversary of the Funding Date and on or prior to the second anniversary of the Funding Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be an
amount equal to nine percent (9%) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid on such Redemption Date;
(C) after the second anniversary of the Funding Date and on or prior to the third anniversary of the Funding Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be an
amount equal to eight percent (8%) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid on such Redemption Date;
(D) after the third anniversary of the Funding Date and prior to the Stated Maturity Date, the Prepayment Premium shall be an amount equal to seven
percent (7%) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid on such Redemption Date.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrowers shall prepay the Term Loan in amounts as provided below, it being
agreed that the relevant payment date shall be deemed to be the “Redemption Date” for purposes of such calculation), as follows:
(i) In the event of any Casualty Event, an amount, inclusive of any Prepayment Premium, any accrued but unpaid interest (including interest on the
amount of the principal being prepaid) and fees then due and owing, equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries with respect thereto; provided, however, so long
as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, the Obligors may apply the Net Cash Proceeds of any casualty policy up to, but not exceeding $4,000,000
for all losses in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement toward the replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property; provided, further, that any such replaced or repaired property shall be
Collateral in which the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders has been granted a security interest under the Security Documents.
- 45 -
(ii) In the event any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries incurs Indebtedness other than Indebtedness that is permitted by Section 9.01 hereof, an
amount, inclusive of any Prepayment Premium, any accrued but unpaid interest (including interest on the amount of the principal being prepaid) and fees then due and owing, equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof received by such Person. For
the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 3.03(b)(ii) shall not be deemed to be a consent to any such incurrence of Indebtedness or a cure or waiver of any Event of Default which occurs in connection therewith, it being
understood that any such Event of Default may only be waived with the express consent of the Majority Lenders.
(iii) In the event any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries consummates an Asset Sale other than an Asset Sale that is permitted by Section 9.09
hereof (other than Section 9.09(j)), an amount, inclusive of any Prepayment Premium any accrued but unpaid interest (including interest on the amount of the principal being prepaid) and fees then due and owing, equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds
received by such Obligor in connection with such Asset Sale; provided, however, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, within one
hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds (or if committed to be reinvested within such 180-day period, no later than ninety (90) days after the end of such 180-day period), the Obligors may use such Net Cash Proceeds up to
$500,000 with respect to any Asset Sale, but not exceeding $1,000,000 for all Asset Sales in the aggregate per fiscal year, to purchase, replace, repair or restore properties or assets used in the Obligors’ businesses; provided, further, that any such purchased, replaced, repaired or restored property shall be Collateral in which the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders has been granted a
security interest under the Security Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 3.03(b)(iii) shall not be deemed to be a consent to any Asset Sale or a cure or waiver of any Event of Default which occurs in
connection therewith, it being understood that any such Event of Default may only be waived with the express consent of the Majority Lenders.
(c) Prepayment Premium. Payment of any Prepayment Premium under this Section 3.03 constitutes liquidated
damages, not unmatured interest or a penalty, as the actual amount of damages to the Lenders as a result of the relevant triggering event, prepayment or repayment would be impracticable and extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, any
Prepayment Premium hereunder is provided by mutual agreement of the Obligors and the Lenders as a reasonable estimation and calculation of such actual lost profits and other actual damages of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, it is understood and agreed that upon the occurrence of any prepayment event, any Prepayment Premium shall be automatically and immediately due and payable as though any prepaid or repaid portion of the Term Loan was voluntarily prepaid as
of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations secured by the Collateral. Any Prepayment Premium shall also be automatically and immediately due and payable if the Term Loan is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of
judicial proceeding or otherwise), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. EACH OBLIGOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR OTHER LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR
MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH EVENTS. The Obligors expressly agree (to the fullest extent it and they may lawfully do so) that with respect to any Prepayment Premium payable under the
terms of this Agreement: (i) such Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business parties, ably represented by counsel; (ii) such Prepayment Premium 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 Lenders and the Obligors giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay such Prepayment Premium; and (iv)
the Obligors shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. The Obligors expressly acknowledge that their agreement to pay such Prepayment Premium as herein described is a material inducement to the
Lenders to provide the Commitments and to make the Term Loan.
- 46 -
(a) Payments Generally. Each payment of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Obligors
under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set off or counterclaim, to an account of the Administrative Agent specified to the Administrative Borrower from time to
time, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).
(b) Application of Payments. Each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than any
payment made pursuant to Section 3.01, which shall be applied to the principal amount of the Term Loan and any applicable Prepayment Premium) shall be applied in the following order of priority, with proceeds being applied to a succeeding level of
priority only if amounts owing pursuant to the immediately preceding level of priority have been paid in full in cash:
(i) first, to the payment of any unpaid costs and expenses referred to in Section 13.03(a) then due and
owing;
- 47 -
(ii) second, in reduction of the Borrowers’ obligation to pay any unpaid interest and any fees then due and
owing including, without limitation, (x) interest payable pursuant to Section 3.02(c) and (y) any Prepayment Premium;
(iii) third, in reduction of the Borrowers’ obligations to pay any Claims or Losses referred to in
Section 13.03(b) then due and owing;
(iv) fourth, to the payment of unpaid principal of the Term Loan on a pro rata basis;
(v) fifth, in reduction of any other Obligation then due and owing; and
(vi) sixth, to the Borrowers or such other Persons as may lawfully be entitled to or directed by the
Borrowers to receive the remainder.
Unless otherwise directed by the Majority Lenders, all payments of principal, interest and fees under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made by the Obligors to
the Lenders in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Proportionate Shares of such payments.
(c) Non‑Business Days. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement (whether in respect of principal,
interest, fees, costs or otherwise) would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for
the period of such extension.
Section 4.02. Computations. All computations of
interest and fees hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed during the period for which payable.
Section 4.03. Notices. Each notice of optional
prepayment shall be effective only if received by the Lenders not later than 2:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment. Each notice of optional prepayment shall specify the amount to be prepaid and
the date of prepayment.
(a) Set‑Off Generally. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by the Lenders or such Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any and all of the Obligations, whether or not the Lenders shall have made
any demand and although such Obligations may be unmatured. The Lenders agree promptly to notify the Administrative Borrower after any such set‑off and application, provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such set‑off and application. The rights of the Lenders and their respective Affiliates under this Section 4.04 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set‑off) that the Lenders
and their respective Affiliates may have.
- 48 -
(b) Exercise of Rights Not Required. Nothing contained herein shall require the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders or any of their respective Affiliates to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of such Persons to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or obligation of any Obligor.
(a) Change in Requirements of Law Generally. If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any
Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any court or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any
Lender (or its lending office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any such requirement imposed by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, contribution, insurance assessment or similar requirement, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit
extended by, a Lender (or its lending office) or shall impose on a Lender (or its lending office) any other condition affecting the Term Loan or the Commitment, not as a result of any action or inaction on the part of such Lender, and the result of
any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining its portion of the Term Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by any Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, by an amount
reasonably deemed by such Lender in good faith to be material (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (iii) Connection
Income Taxes), then the Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender on demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Xxxx‑Xxxxx
Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements,
the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to constitute a change in Requirements of Law
for all purposes of this Section 5.01, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
- 49 -
(b) Change in Capital Requirements. If a Lender shall have determined that, on or after the date hereof, the
adoption of any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any
request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on
capital of a Lender (or its parent) as a consequence of a Lender’s obligations hereunder or the Term Loan to a level below that which a Lender (or its parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive by an amount
reasonably deemed by it to be material, then the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender on demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its parent) for such reduction.
(c) Notification by Lender. The Lenders will promptly notify the Administrative Borrower of any event of
which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle a Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01. Before giving any such notice pursuant to this Section 5.01(c) such Lender shall designate a different lending office
if such designation (x) will, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and (y) will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. A
certificate of the Lender claiming compensation under this Section 5.01, setting forth the amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers in the absence of manifest error.
Section 5.02. Illegality. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, in the event that on or after the date hereof the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any competent Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful for a
Lender or its lending office to make or maintain the Term Loan (and, in the opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different lending office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender
shall promptly notify the Administrative Borrower thereof following which, if such Requirement of Law shall so mandate, the Term Loan shall be prepaid by the Borrowers on or before such date as shall be mandated by such Requirement of Law in an
amount equal to the Redemption Price applicable on the date of such prepayment in accordance with Section 3.03(a).
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation shall be made without
deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by an Obligor, then such Obligor shall be entitled to make such deduction or
withholding, and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Obligor shall be increased as
necessary so that after such deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes has been made (including such deductions and withholdings for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03) the applicable Recipient
receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding for Indemnified Taxes been made. For purposes of this Section 5.03, the term “applicable Law” includes FATCA.
- 50 -
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall
timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers to a
Governmental Authority, as a withholding Tax pursuant to this Section 5.03, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, or a copy
of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d) Indemnification. The Borrowers shall reimburse and indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after
demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Warrant Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.03) payable or paid by such Recipient or required
to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and/or any reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (including, but not limited to, any costs arising from a dispute with the relevant Government Authority in
respect of such Indemnified Taxes or Warrant Indemnified Taxes), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes (or Warrant Indemnified Taxes) were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no EEA Obligor shall be liable (whether as principal or surety or otherwise) for any Warrant Indemnified Taxes. A certificate as to
the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Administrative Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.
(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within
ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the
obligation of any Borrower to do so), and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such
Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
- 51 -
(f) Status of Lenders.
(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall
deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the
Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or as reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Administrative Agent Borrower or the Administrative
Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such
documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.03(f)(ii)(A), (B) or (D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed
cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such

the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN (or successor form) or IRS Form
W‑8BEN‑E (or successor form); or
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, duly completed, valid, executed copies of IRS Form W‑8IMY (or successor form),

beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such
Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
- 53 -
(iii) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent
(in such number of copies as shall be requested by the Recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Borrower
or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary
documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(iv) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender
were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent at
the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the
Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Administrative Borrower or the Administrative Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to

Each Recipient agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such form or

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party to this Agreement determines, in its sole discretion
exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying
party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5.03 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out‑of‑pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and
without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the written request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid
over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 5.03(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.03(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less
favorable net after‑Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if 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 giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 5.03(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the
indemnifying party or any other Person.
- 54 -
(h) Mitigation Obligations. If the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts
to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.01 or this Section 5.03, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Administrative Borrower) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a
different lending office for funding or booking the Term Loan hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates if, in the sole reasonable judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment and delegation would (i) eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or this Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (iii) not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.
(i) Revenue Challenge to Warrant Stamp Amount. In the event of any written communication issued by the Irish
Revenue Commissioners to a Recipient concerning the amount of Irish stamp duty liability due on the execution of the Warrant Certificate (a “Revenue Claim”), the Recipients shall (if the total amount of stamp
duty due on the Warrant Certificate is likely to exceed $50,000):
(i) promptly provide a copy of such written communication from the Irish Revenue Commissioners to the Parent;
(ii) if requested by the Parent, provide to the Parent (at the Parent’s expense) copies of any material correspondence to and from the Irish Revenue
Commissioners relating to the Revenue Claim (subject to legal professional privilege and any obligations of confidence that are binding on the Recipients);

(iii) keep the Parent reasonably informed of the progress of the Revenue Claim and of any material developments in relation to the Revenue Claim;
and
(iv) use reasonable endeavors to consult with the Obligors regarding the conduct of the Revenue Claim.
If the total amount of stamp duty due on the Warrant Certificate would exceed $50,000, no Recipient shall agree any compromise or settlement, or make any payment in relation to, a Revenue Claim
without the prior written consent of the Obligors. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any failure by a Recipient to comply with its obligations under this Section 5.03(i) shall reduce the amount of any claim under Section 5.03(d)
with respect to a Revenue Claim to the extent that such failure to comply increased or gave rise to the Taxes to which such claim relates.
(j) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Article 5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of
the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
Section 5.04. Delay
in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Article 5 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided
that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Article 5 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Administrative Borrower of
the change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9)
month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

intended to qualify for tax exempt status under Section 401 or 501 of the Code has received a favorable IRS determination as its tax exempt status, and to the knowledge of any Obligor, no event has occurred or circumstances exist that would cause the

attainment percentage to fall below 60% as of the most recent valuation date. To each Obligor’s knowledge, as of the date hereof, no ERISA Event has occurred in connection with which obligations and liabilities (contingent or otherwise) remain
outstanding. No ERISA Affiliate would have any Withdrawal Liability as a result of a complete withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan on the date this representation is made. (b) The Obligors do not maintain, administrate, or contribute to any

any applicable pension benefits laws of any other jurisdiction (for certainty, not including payments in respect of contributions payable but not yet due); and (iii) no condition exists and no event or transaction has occurred with respect to any
Canadian Pension Plan which is reasonably likely to result in any Obligor incurring any material liability, fine or penalty. Each Canadian Pension Plan is in compliance (other than immaterial non-compliance) with all applicable pension benefits and
tax laws; (i) all contributions (other than immaterial amounts) (including employee contributions made by authorized payroll deductions or other withholdings) required to be made to the appropriate funding agency in accordance with all Applicable

non-compliance); (ii) all liabilities under each Canadian Pension Plan are funded in accordance with the terms of the respective Canadian Pension Plans, the requirements of applicable pension benefits laws and of applicable regulatory authorities
(other than immaterial non-compliance) and (iii) no event has occurred and no conditions exist with respect to any Canadian Pension Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in any Canadian Pension Plan having its registration
revoked or refused by any administration of any relevant pension benefits regulatory authority or being required to pay any taxes (other than taxes the amounts of which are immaterial) or penalties under any applicable pension benefits or tax laws.

required by (and has the priority required by) the applicable Security Document, subject to Permitted Liens. The Security Documents collectively are effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a legal,
valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral, which upon the filing of financing statements and other similar statements filed in the appropriate offices, such security interests are perfected security interests (subject only to

security interests and Liens (subject to Permitted Liens) in substantially all of the personal Property of such Obligor as collateral security for the Obligations; provided that any such security interest or
Lien shall be subject to the relevant requirements of the Security Documents.

Property during the term of this Agreement, then the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto and any such Obligor Intellectual Property shall automatically constitute part of the Collateral under the Security Documents, without
further action by any party, in each case from and after the date of such creation, development or acquisition (except that any representations or warranties of any Obligor shall apply to any such Obligor Intellectual Property only from and after the
date, if any, subsequent to such acquisition that such representations and warranties are brought down or made anew as provided herein). In the event that any Obligor holds or acquires Obligor Intellectual Property during the term of this Agreement,
then, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Obligor shall take any action as shall be reasonably necessary and reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to ensure that the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Agreements

Intellectual Property, Etc. With respect to each Product, each Obligor will (a) maintain in full force and effect all material Regulatory Approvals (including the Product Authorizations), Material Agreements, or other rights necessary for

institution that has either (i) other than in respect of any such account charged pursuant to the Irish Debenture, executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an account control agreement (provided that, for greater certainty, if under the
applicable laws of any Canadian jurisdiction control over Deposit Accounts is not available, then an account control agreement shall be deemed to constitute a springing blocked account or springing cash dominion agreement in respect of such Deposit
Accounts) or (ii) in respect of any such account charged pursuant to the Irish Debenture, executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an acknowledgment to the notice of assignment delivered to such bank or financial institution by the relevant
Irish Obligor pursuant to the Irish Debenture, in each case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each such Deposit Account, Securities Account, Commodity Account and lockbox, a “Controlled
Account”);
(b) deposit promptly, and in any event no later than seven (7) Business Days after the date of receipt thereof, all cash, checks, drafts or other

Health Care Programs, the applicable Obligor shall, (i) within sixty (60) days after the Funding Date (or such later date as may be agreed to by Administrative Agent), or (ii) with respect to an Obligor’s future participation in any Federal Health
Care Program, prior to such Obligor’s receipt of payments exceeding $50,000 in any month from Federal Health Care Programs, notify all Government Authorities making any payments under any Federal Health Care Program to make any such payments only to
one or more Segregated Health Care Accounts. No Obligor shall deposit any funds to a Segregated Health Care Account or direct or permit any other Person to deposit any funds to a Segregated Health Care Account, other than payments received from

require such depository bank to waive all of its existing and future rights of recoupment and set-off and banker’s lien against any Segregated Health Care Accounts, but shall permit such depository bank to maintain its existing and future rights of
recoupment and set-off and banker’s lien against any Controlled Account.

and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Majority Lenders may, by notice to the Administrative Borrower, take either or both of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the Commitments, and
thereupon the Commitments shall terminate immediately, and (ii) declare the Term Loan then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due
and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Term Loan so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Obligations, shall become due and payable immediately (in the case of the Term Loan, at the

For the avoidance of doubt, the Prepayment Premium (as a component of the Redemption Price) shall be due and payable at any time the Term Loan becomes due and payable prior to the Stated Maturity Date for any reason, whether due to acceleration
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (in which case it shall be due immediately, upon the giving of notice to the Administrative Borrower in accordance with Section 10.02(a), or automatically, in accordance with Section 10.02(b)), by operation of
law or otherwise (including, without limitation, on account of any bankruptcy filing). In view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of
such acceleration, and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders, and any Prepayment Premium shall be due and payable upon such date. Each Obligor hereby waives any
defense to payment, whether such defense may be based in public policy, ambiguity, or otherwise. The Obligors and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that any Prepayment Premium due and payable in accordance with this Agreement shall not constitute
unmatured interest, whether under Section 502(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Each Obligor further acknowledges and agrees, and waives any argument to the contrary, that payment of such amount does not constitute a penalty or an otherwise
unenforceable or invalid obligation.
Section 11.01. The Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby
jointly and severally guarantee to the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest
on the Term Loan, all fees and other amounts and Obligations from time to time owing to the Administrative Agent and any Lender by the Borrowers under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document and by any other Obligor under any of the Loan
Documents, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby further jointly and severally
agree that if the Borrowers shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that
in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such
extension or renewal.
- 105 -
Section 11.02. Obligations Unconditional. The
Obligations of the Guarantors under Section 11.01 are irrevocable, continuing, absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Borrowers under
this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law,
irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or Guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 11.02 that the Obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be
absolute and unconditional, joint and several, under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the
Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be done or
omitted;
(c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or
amended in any respect (including, without limitation, any modification, supplement, or amendment that results in any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations, any change in the interest or fees payable, any renewal, extension, amendment, rescission,
waiver, release, discharge, indulgence, compromise, arrangement, or any other variation in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, any Loan Document, or any other agreement), or any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument
referred to herein shall be waived or any other Guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(d) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Lender as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected
or otherwise be taken, exchanged, substituted, varied, released, impaired, or subordinated;
(e) any Guarantee of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be taken, released, impaired, amended, waived or otherwise modified;
(f) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any Loan Document, or any related agreement, security, or instrument shall be illegal, invalid or unenforceable
for any reason whatsoever;
- 106 -
(g) any Collateral or other assets shall be sold or disposed, and/or the proceeds of such sale or disposition applied, to satisfy all or part of the
Guaranteed Obligations;
(h) any of the security or Collateral held for the Guaranteed Obligations shall lose or diminish in value, whether such loss or diminution arises from
any act or omission of the Administrative Agent or any Lender;
(i) there shall be any Default, failure, or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment and/or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(j) there shall be any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure, ownership or existence of any Obligor or any of its
Subsidiaries or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligor or its assets or any resulting restructuring, compromise, release or discharge of any Guaranteed Obligations;
(k) there shall be any failure of any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to disclose to any Obligor any information relating to the business,
condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Obligor, or any other information now or hereafter known to the Administrative Agent or such Lender;
(l) any person shall fail to execute or deliver this Agreement (including the Guarantee in this Article 11) or any other Guarantee or agreement or the
release or reduction of liability of any Obligor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations;
(m) any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall fail to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the
provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise;
(n) any Obligor shall assert any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available
to, or be asserted by, such against any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender; or
(o) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or manner of administering the Guaranteed Obligations shall
exist or occur, or any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall rely on any representation, in each case, that might vary the risk of any Obligor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Obligor
or surety.
The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, demand for performance, protest, dishonor, promptness, presentment, default, acceleration, and all
notices whatsoever (including, without limitation, notice of non-performance and notice of acceptance), and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrowers under this
Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other Guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders may resort to the Guarantors for payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations whether or not the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have resorted to any Collateral therefor or shall have proceeded against any
Borrower or any other Obligors or guarantors with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at their option, proceed against the Guarantors and the Borrowers, jointly and severally, or against one or more
Guarantors only without having obtained a judgment against any Borrower.
- 107 -
Section 11.03. Reinstatement. The obligations of the
Guarantors under this Article 11 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrowers in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder
of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand for
all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel) incurred by such Persons in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such reasonable 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.
Section 11.04. Subrogation. The Guarantors hereby
jointly and severally agree that, until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than the Warrant Obligations and inchoate indemnity obligations) and the expiration and termination of the Commitments, they shall not
exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by them of their Guarantee in Section 11.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrowers or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for
any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 11.05. Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and
severally agree that, as between the Guarantors, on one hand, and the Lenders, on the other hand, the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in
Article 10 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article 10) for purposes of Section 11.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such
obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrowers and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and
payable by the Borrowers) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 11.01.
Section 11.06. Instrument for the Payment of Money.
Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the Guarantee in this Article 11 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that each Lender, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of
any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to proceed by motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to N.Y. Civ. Prac. L&R § 3213.
- 108 -
Section 11.07. Continuing Guarantee. The Guarantee
in this Article 11 is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantors hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive any right to revoke
this Guarantee in this Article 11 and acknowledge that the Guarantee in this Article 11 is continuing in nature, shall guarantee any ultimate balance owing to any of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and applies to all presently existing and
future Guaranteed Obligations, until the complete, irrevocable and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.The Guarantee in this Article 11 shall continue to apply to all Guaranteed Obligations owing to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders by any entity resulting from any Obligor merging, amalgamating, or otherwise entering into any other business combination transaction with one or more other entities.
Section 11.08. Rights of Contribution. The Guarantors
hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, each other Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess
Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and
liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of a Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section 11.08 shall be subordinate and
subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Article 11 and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until
payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations.
For purposes of this Section 11.08, (a) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a Guarantor that has
paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (b) “Excess Payment” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of
its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (c) “Pro Rata Share” means, as of the date of determination, for any Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (i) the amount by which the
aggregate present fair saleable value of all properties of such Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock of any other Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and
unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Guarantor that have been guaranteed by such Guarantor) to (ii) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all
properties of all of the Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents) of all of the Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Guarantor that is a party hereto on the Closing Date, as of such date, and (B) with respect to any other Guarantor, as of the date such Guarantor becomes a
Guarantor hereunder.
- 109 -
Section 11.09. General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations.
In any action or proceeding involving any provincial, territorial, foreign or state corporate Law, or any state, federal, provincial, territorial, or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other Law affecting the rights of creditors
generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 11.01 would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 11.08, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the Claims of any other creditors,
on account of the amount of its liability under Section 11.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the Claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
Section 11.10. Irish Limitation on Guarantee
Obligations. The obligations of each Irish Obligor under Section 11.01 shall be deemed not to be undertaken or incurred to the extent the same would:
(a) constitute unlawful financial assistance prohibited by section 82 of the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland; or
(b) constitute a breach of section 239 of the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland,
provided that (in the case of both (a) and (b) above), for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any such obligations under Section 11.01 have been
validated by a summary approval procedure in accordance with the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland, they shall not constitute unlawful financial assistance under the said section 82 or a breach of the said section 239 (as applicable).
Section 12.01. Appointment. Each of the Lenders
hereby irrevocably appoints Perceptive to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article 12 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, and neither the Borrowers nor any other Obligor will have rights as a third‑party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other
similar term) with reference to the Administrative 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.
- 110 -
Section 12.02. Rights as a Lender. The Person serving
as the Administrative Agent hereunder will have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” will, unless
otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity to the extent such Person is a Lender. The Lenders acknowledge and agree that such
Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrowers, the other Obligors or any
other Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Obligors as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
(a) The Administrative Agent will not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its
duties hereunder are administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(i) will not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(ii) will 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 Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as will be expressly provided for herein or in
the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent will not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability
or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Insolvency Proceeding; and
(iii) will not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and will not be liable for the
failure to disclose, any information relating to the Obligors or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
- 111 -
(b) The Administrative Agent will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders
(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as will be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent believes in good faith will be necessary, under the circumstances), 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 Administrative Agent will be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent
in writing by the Borrowers or a Lender.
(c) The Administrative Agent will 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 Loan 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, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 6 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
Section 12.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The
Administrative Agent will be entitled to rely upon, and will 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 Administrative 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 will not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of the Term Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the
satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent has received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of the Term Loan. The
Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any
such counsel, accountants or experts.
Section 12.05. Delegation of Duties. The
Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 Affiliates. The exculpatory provisions of this Article 12 will apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Affiliates of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent, and will apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the facility as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent will 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 Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection
of such sub‑agents.
- 112 -
(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Administrative Borrower, which notice shall set
forth the effective date of such resignation (the “Resignation Effective Date”), such date not to be earlier than the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of such notice. The Majority Lenders
and the Administrative Borrower shall mutually agree upon a successor to the Administrative Agent. If the Majority Lenders and the Administrative Borrower are unable to so mutually agree and no successor shall have been appointed within
twenty‑five (25) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but will not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent it shall
designate (in its reasonable discretion after consultation with the Borrowers and the Majority Lenders). Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation will become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation
Effective Date.
(b) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date (i) the retiring Administrative Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent will continue to hold such Collateral until
such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative
Agent will instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent
hereunder, such successor will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent), and the
retiring Administrative Agent will be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent will be the same as those payable to its
predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Administrative Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 12 and Sections 13.03 and
13.06 will continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was
acting as Administrative Agent.

Section 12.07. Non‑Reliance on Administrative Agent and
Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate,
made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Affiliates and based on such
documents and information as it will 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 Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.
Section 12.08. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relative to the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Term Loan will then be due and payable as herein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent has made any demand on the Borrowers) will 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 Term Loan and all other
Obligations that are owing and unpaid hereunder or under any other Loan Document and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the Claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any Claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document) 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.
Any custodian, receiver, receiver and manager, interim receiver, manager, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is
hereby authorized by each Lender to make any payments of the type described above in this Section 12.08 to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent consents to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to
pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document.
- 114 -
(a) Without limiting the provisions of Section 12.08, the Lenders irrevocably agree as follows:
(i) the Administrative Agent is authorized, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (A) on the date when all Obligations have been satisfied in full in cash (other than Warrant Obligations and contingent obligations as to which no Claims have been asserted), (B) that is sold or otherwise
disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, or (C) subject to Sections 13.01 and 13.04, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the
Majority Lenders; and
(ii) the Administrative Agent is authorized, at its option and discretion, to release any Guarantor, from its obligations hereunder if such Person
ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, each Lender will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular
types or items of Collateral, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under its guaranty pursuant to this Section 12.09.
(b) The Administrative Agent will not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the
existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Obligor in connection therewith, nor will the Administrative Agent be
responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
(c) Each Lender hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its collateral agent under each of the Security Documents and agrees that, in so acting,
the Administrative Agent will have all of the rights, protections, exculpations, indemnities and other benefits provided to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, and hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent, on behalf of such
Lender and all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any of the Lenders, from time to time to (i) take any action with respect to any Collateral or any Security Document which may be necessary to perfect and maintain
perfected the Liens on the Collateral granted pursuant to any such Security Document or protect and preserve the Administrative Agent’s ability to enforce the Liens or realize upon the Collateral, (ii) act as collateral agent for each Lender for
purposes of acquiring, holding, enforcing and perfecting all Liens created by the Loan Documents and all other purposes stated therein, (iii) enter into intercreditor or subordination agreements, as the case may be, in connection with Indebtedness
permitted pursuant to Sections 9.01(e), (iv) enter into non‑disturbance or similar agreements in connection with licensing agreements and arrangements permitted by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (v) otherwise to take or refrain from
taking any and all action that the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or advisable in fulfilling its role as collateral agent under any of the Security Documents.
- 115 -
Section 13.01. No Waiver. No failure on the part of
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial

consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of the Transactions or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Term Loan. This Section

Lenders without all Lenders’ consent; or
(v) modify Section 2.02 without the consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby.

hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender
(and any attempted assignment or transfer by such Obligor without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 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 paragraph (e) of this Section) and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnified Parties of the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or Claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
- 118 -
(b) Amendments to Loan Documents; Majority Lender Vote. Each of the Lenders and the Obligors agrees to enter
into such amendments to the Loan Documents, and such additional Security Documents and other instruments and agreements, in each case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Lenders and the Obligors, as shall reasonably be necessary to
implement and give effect to any assignment made by any Lender (or any direct or indirect assignee thereof) from time to time under this Section 13.05.
(c) Assignments by Lenders.
(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (c)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons (other than an Ineligible Assignee)
all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Term Loan at the time owing to it) (A) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the
Administrative Agent and (B) so long as no Default shall have occurred and is continuing, upon notice to the Administrative Borrower; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent nor notice to the
Administrative Borrower shall be required for an assignment of any Commitment or of all or any portion of the Term Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.
(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment or Term Loan, the amount of the Commitment or Term Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent) shall not be less than $500,000, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise consents;
- 119 -
(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and
(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each
Assignment Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and the assigning Lender thereunder
shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment Agreement, be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the
Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under the Loan Documents that does not comply with this Section 13.05 shall be treated for purposes of the Loan Documents
as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section.
(d) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non‑fiduciary agent of the Borrowers,
shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Term Loan
owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and
the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection
by the Borrowers and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless (i) it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph
and (ii) any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section has been obtained.
(e) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers, sell
participations to any Person (a “Participant”), other than a natural person, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment
and the Term Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for
the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection therewith.
- 120 -
(f) Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender 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 Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) increase or extend the term of such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Term Loan or any portion
of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, or (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive such
interest. The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation
required under Section 5.03(f) shall be delivered to the Borrowers and the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.05(a), provided
that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.03(h) as if it were an assignee under Section 13.05(a); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.03, with respect to any participation,
than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Administrative Borrower’s prior written consent. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.04(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non‑fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, 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 Term Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in
any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) 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 Section 5f.103‑1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender 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.
(g) Certain Pledges. Subject to Section 13.05(c), the Lenders may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any other Loan Document to secure obligations of the Lenders, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or another central bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lenders from any of their obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lenders as a party hereto.
- 121 -

Borrowers under Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 13.03, 13.05, 13.09, 13.10, 13.11, 13.12, 13.13, 13.14, 13.15 and Article 11 (solely to the extent guaranteeing any of the obligations under the foregoing Sections) shall survive the repayment of the
Obligations and the termination of the Commitments and, in the case of any Lender’s assignment of any interest in the Commitments or the Term Loan hereunder, shall survive, in the case of any event or circumstance that occurred prior to the effective
date of such assignment, the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that such Lenders may cease to be a “Lender” hereunder. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a notice of the Term Loan, herein or pursuant
hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty.

by Section 13.04) to take any action reasonably requested by the Borrowers having the effect of releasing any Collateral or Obligations (i) to the extent necessary to permit consummation of any transaction not prohibited by any Loan Document or that
has been consented to by the Lenders or (ii) under the circumstances described in paragraph (b) below.
- 125 -
(b) At such time as the Term Loan and the other Obligations (other than the inchoate indemnity obligations and Warrant Obligations) under the Loan
Documents shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments have been terminated, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly
stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Obligor under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.
Section 13.19. Acknowledgement
and Consent to Bail‑In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any
liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write‑Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and
acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write‑Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may
be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b) the effects of any Bail‑In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its
parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write‑Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable
Resolution Authority.
(a) The obligations of any Obligor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to make payments in Dollars shall not be discharged or satisfied
by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any currency other than Dollars, except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or Lender of the full
amount of Dollars expressed to be payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing a judgment against any Obligor in any court or in any jurisdiction,
it becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than Dollars (such other currency, the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in Dollars, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange quoted
by the Administrative Agent, determined, in each case, as of the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day, the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).
- 126 -
(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount
due, each Obligor covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of
exchange prevailing on the actual date of payment, will produce the amount of Dollars that could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the
Judgment Currency Conversion Date.
(c) For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this Section 13.20, such amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection
with the purchase of Dollars.
Section 13.21. Administrative Borrower. Each
Borrower hereby designates U.S. Holdings as the administrative Borrower (in such capacity, the “Administrative Borrower”) to act as its representative and agent on its behalf, for the purposes of giving
instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Term Loan, giving and receiving all notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions on behalf of each Borrower under the Loan
Documents. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from U.S. Holdings in its capacity as Administrative Borrower as a notice or communication from each Borrower. Each
warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on behalf of each Borrower by U.S. Holdings in its capacity as Administrative Borrower for the Borrowers shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by each Borrower and shall be binding upon
and enforceable against each Borrower to the same extent as it if the same had been made directly by each Borrower. Such appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice
signed by each Borrower terminating such appointment. Borrowers shall have the right, to appoint another Borrower as the Administrative Borrower with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed). It is understood that the handling of the loan account and Collateral of the Borrowers in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective
borrowing powers of the Borrowers in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall incur liability to the Borrowers as a result hereof. Each Borrower expects to derive
benefit, directly or indirectly, from the handling of the loan account and the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Borrower is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group. To induce
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to do so, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and hold each Indemnified Party harmless against any and all liability, expense,
loss or claim of damage or injury, made against such Indemnified Party by any Borrower or by any third party whosoever, arising from or incurred by reason of (a) the handling of the loan account and Collateral of the Borrowers as herein provided,
(b) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders relying on any instructions of the Administrative Borrower, or (c) any other action taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
- 127 -
(a) Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial
accommodations to be provided by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the Borrowers to accept joint and
several liability for the Obligations.
(b) Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and conditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co‑debtor, joint and
several liability with the other Borrower, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including any Obligations arising under this Section 13.22), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall
be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them.
(c) If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of
the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrower will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation until such time as all of the Obligations are paid in full.
(d) The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 13.22 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations
of each Borrower enforceable against each Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the provisions of this Agreement (other than this Section 13.22(d)) or any other
circumstances whatsoever.
(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability,
notice of any Loans, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under or in respect
of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement). Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any
partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition
or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of
any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act
on the part of the Administrative Agent or a Lender with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any
remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which would, but for the provisions of this Section 13.22 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its
Obligations under this Section 13.22, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 13.22 shall not be discharged except by
performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 13.22 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or
similar proceeding with respect to any other Borrower or the Administrative Agent or a Lender.
- 128 -
(f) Each Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial
condition of the Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of the other Borrower’s financial condition and of all other circumstances
which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.
(g) The provisions of this Section 13.22 are made for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and their successors and assigns, and
may be enforced by it or them from time to time against any or all of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Administrative Agent or each Lender, or any of their successors or assigns first to
marshal any of its or their claims or to exercise any of its or their rights against any Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the
Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 13.22 shall remain in effect until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part
thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, or otherwise, the provisions of
this Section 13.22 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment had not been made.
- 129 -
(h) Each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against the other Borrower with respect to
any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of
the Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Any claim which the Administrative Agent or a Lender may have against any Borrower with respect to any payments to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder are hereby expressly made subordinate
and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership,
liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Borrower, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be paid in full in cash before any payment or
distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Borrower therefor.
(i) Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such Borrower will not
demand, xxx for or otherwise attempt to collect any Indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Borrower shall collect,
enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such Indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Borrower as trustee for the Administrative Agent, and such Borrower shall deliver any such amounts to the Administrative
Agent for application to the Obligations in accordance with this Agreement.
