(ss) Ranking of Notes; Effectiveness of Security. No Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is senior to the Notes in right of payment or, except for Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Notes) (other than Permitted Indebtedness described in clauses (iii) and (ix) of such definition), ranks pari passu with the Notes in right of payment, whether with respect of payment of principal, redemptions, interest, or upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise. The Security Agreement, together with all other Security Documents, are effective to create and perfect a first lien security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Holders) or, solely in the case of ABL Priority Collateral (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), a second lien security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Holders) on all of the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) to the extent that such security interest can be perfected by the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, the entry into account control agreements (to the extent required by the Notes and the Security Agreement) and the taking of such other actions with respect to perfection required to be taken under the Security Agreement and the other Security Documents.

(h) Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by an Investor (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities.

Such Current Report on Form 8-K shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Buyer and shall be in the form required by the Exchange Act and attach the Transaction Documents required to be attached by the Exchange Act (the “8-K Filing”). The Announcement Press Release shall be mutually agreed by the Company and the Buyer, and the Company agrees that it shall not issue the Announcement Press Release without the Buyer’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). From and after the filing of the 8-K Filing with the SEC, the Buyer shall not be in possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents, that is not disclosed in the 8-K Filing.

If the Buyer has, or reasonably believes it has, received any such material, nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents, it may provide the Company with written notice thereof. The Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days (as defined in the

-21- Notes) of receipt of such notice, make public disclosure of such material, nonpublic information; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make such public disclosure if the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel of the Company determines that such public disclosure would be materially detrimental to the Company or require disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; provided, further, that the Company may, but shall not be required to, make such public disclosure of any material, nonpublic information that the Buyer has received from the Company at the Buyer’s written request (including, but not limited to, forecasts or business plans prepared by the Company’s management).

None of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or the Buyer shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of each other party hereto; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the Buyer (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing and press release contemplated by this Section 4(i) and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) the Buyer shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release). Except for the Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the 8-K Filing or as required by applicable law, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or affiliates shall disclose the name of the Buyer in any filing, announcement, release or otherwise.

(j) Additional Notes; Dilutive Issuances. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns any Notes, the Company will not issue any Notes other than to the Buyer as contemplated hereby and the Company shall not issue any other securities that would cause a breach or default under the Notes. For so long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall not, in any manner, enter into or affect any Dilutive Issuances (as defined in the Notes) if the effect of such Dilutive Issuance is to cause, or but for the Securities Limitations (as defined below) would cause, the Company to be required to issue upon conversion of any Note any shares of Common Stock in excess of that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of the Notes without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market, in each case without giving effect to the limitations on conversion contained in the Notes (such limitations collectively, the “Securities Limitations”). (k) Corporate Existence.

Each Note Party will, and will cause each Subsidiary to, (x) comply with each Requirement of Law applicable to it or its property (including without limitation Environmental Laws) and (y) perform in all material respects its obligations under material agreements to which it is a party, except, in each case, where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Note Party will maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by such Note Party, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions. (i) The Company shall maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to promote compliance by it and its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions. (ii) The Company shall provide such information and documentation as the Buyer may reasonably require to satisfy compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws and applicable Sanctions. (n) Public Information. At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, if the Company shall (i) fail for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (ii) if the Company has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (each, a “Public Information Failure”) then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder of Securities by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity), the Company shall pay to each such holder an amount in cash equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate Purchase Price of such holder’s Securities on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth day (pro-rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date such Public information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such Public Information Failure no longer prevents a holder of Securities from selling such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 without any restrictions or limitations. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4(n) are referred to herein as “Public Information Failure Payments.” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured. In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.

The Collateral Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or pursuant to any Security Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Buyer. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees and agents shall have any liability to the Buyer for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection hereof or the Security Documents except to the extent caused by its own bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, and the Buyer agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and all of its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Collateral Agent Indemnitees”) from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee, whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising from or in connection with the performance by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee of the duties and obligations of Collateral Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Security Documents. (ii) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it. (iii) The Collateral Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the Notes and the Security Documents at any time by giving at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to the Company and each holder of the Notes. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent of appointment as provided below. Upon any such notice of resignation, the Required Holders shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default under the Notes shall have occurred and is continuing. Upon the acceptance of the appointment as Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the Security Agreement. After any Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 4(o) shall inure to its benefit. If a successor Collateral Agent shall not have been so appointed within said ten (10) Business Day period, the retiring Collateral Agent shall then appoint a successor Collateral Agent with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided that no such consent of the Company shall be required if an Event of Default under the Notes shall have occurred and is continuing, who shall serve until such time, if any, as the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Notes appoints a successor Collateral Agent as provided above. (iv) The Company hereby covenants and agrees to take all actions as promptly as practicable reasonably requested by either the Required Holders or the Collateral Agent (or its successor), from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Section 4(o), to facilitate the replacement of any resigning Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of this Section 4(o), including executing any amendment to the Security Documents reasonably requested or required by the successor Collateral Agent; provided that

-24- in no event shall the Company be required to pay any successor Collateral Agent any fees or other amounts which it was not obligated to pay the resigning Collateral Agent pursuant to the Transaction Documents other than a customary collateral agent fee (subject to the Company’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). (p) Equal Treatment of Buyers. No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. (q) Integration. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their affiliates nor any Person acting on their behalf will take any action or steps that would require registration of the issuance of any of the Securities under the Securities Act or cause the offering of any of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings for purposes of any such applicable stockholder approval provisions of any trading market. 5. REGISTER; TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS. (a) Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to each holder of Securities), a register for the Notes in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Person in whose name the Notes have been issued (including the name and address of each transferee), the principal amount of Notes held by such Person and the number of Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of the Notes.

The Company covenants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5(b), and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves the Conversion Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144, the transfer agent shall issue such Securities to the Buyer, assignee or transferee, as the case may be, without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 2(g); provided, that the Buyer has provided all documentation and evidence (which may include an opinion of counsel and a customary representation letter) as may be reasonably required by the Company or the transfer agent. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5(b), that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

(b) Any termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8(a) shall be effective upon delivery of written notice thereof (i) by the Company to the Required Holders or (ii) by the Required Holders to the Company, as applicable, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (other than this Section 8(b) and Section 9, all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement, and there shall be no liability on the part of the Buyer or the Company in connection with this Agreement, except that no such termination shall relieve any party hereto from liability for damages to another party resulting from a Willful Breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement prior to the date of termination or from Fraud. A “Willful Breach” means, with respect to any Person, a material breach or failure to perform that is the consequence of an act or omission of such party with the knowledge that such act or omission would, or would be reasonably expected to, cause a material breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 8, the Company shall remain

-28- obligated to reimburse the Lead Investor or its designee(s), as applicable, for the expenses described in Section 4(g). 9. MISCELLANEOUS. (a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in New York, New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. (b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. This Agreement, once executed by a party, may be delivered to the other party hereto by facsimile or email transmission of a copy of this Agreement bearing the signature of the party so delivering this Agreement. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. (c) Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. (d) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

-29- (e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyer, the Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor the Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Required Holders, and any amendment to this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on the Buyer and holders of Securities and the Company. No provisions hereto may be waived other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the applicable Securities then outstanding. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, holders of Notes, as the case may be. The Company has not, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with the Buyer relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer has not made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to the Company or otherwise. As used herein, “Required Holders” means (I) prior to the Closing Date, the Buyer and (II) on or after the Closing Date, holders of a majority of the outstanding Principal (as defined in the Notes) amount of the Notes (calculated as of the date of the applicable amendment, waiver, consent or modification), which shall include the Lead Investor so long as the Lead Investor or any of its affiliates holds at least 25% of the outstanding Securities at such time. The Buyer and each Holder agrees that, except with the written consent of the Collateral Agent, it will not take any enforcement action hereunder or under any other Transaction Document or exercise any right that it might otherwise have under applicable law or otherwise to credit bid at foreclosure sales, UCC sales, any sale under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or other similar dispositions of Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, a Holder may take action to preserve or enforce its rights against a Note Party where a deadline or limitation period is applicable that would, absent such action, bar enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee Agreement) held by such Holder, including the filing of proofs of claim in a case under the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents, the Note Parties, the Collateral Agent and each Holder agrees that no Holder shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guarantee Agreement; it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Security Agreement) in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the other Transaction Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent. (f) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon delivery, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); (iii) upon delivery, when sent by electronic mail (provided that the sending party does not receive an automated rejection notice); or (iv) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

-31- evidence of personal service, receipt by facsimile or receipt from an overnight courier service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively. (g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the Notes. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, including by way of a Change of Control (unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Change of Control set forth in the Notes). The Buyer may assign some or all of its rights hereunder in connection with a transfer of any of its Securities that is permitted and consummated in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents without the consent of the Company; provided such assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions hereof that apply to the Buyer, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights. (h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that each Indemnitee (as defined below) shall have the right to enforce the obligations of the Company with respect to Section 9(k). (i) Survival. Unless this Agreement is terminated under Section 8 hereof, the representations and warranties of the Buyer and the Company contained in Sections 2 and 3 shall survive the Closing for a period of 12 months following the Closing, and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 4, 5 and 9 which by their terms are required to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms. (j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. (k) Indemnification. (i) Indemnity. The Company shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims (including causes of action, suits or claims asserted directly by or between an Indemnitee and the Company), losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in Section 3, or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated by this Agreement, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company) and arising out of or resulting from the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby that are actually incurred (unless such cause of action, suit or claim is based upon a material breach of an Indemnitee’s representations or warranties, or any failure of an Indemnitee or its affiliates to perform or comply, in any material respect,

-32- with any of its covenants or agreements, in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Documents, or any violations by an Indemnitee or its affiliates of state or federal securities or other laws or regulations, or any conduct by such Indemnitee or its affiliate which constitutes bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct). The Buyer shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Company Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims (including causes of action, suits or claims asserted directly by or between a Company Indemnitee and the Buyer), losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Company Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Company Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Company Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Buyer in Section 2, or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated by this Agreement or (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Buyer contained in this Agreement. Any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to purchase price for tax purposes, except as otherwise required by law or deemed impermissible under GAAP. Such payment shall not result in an adjustment to the value of the original investment reported by the Company under GAAP. (ii) Third Party Claims. Promptly after receipt by any Indemnitee or Company Indemnitee (in either case, an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of any demand, claim, or circumstances from a third party which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 9(k)(i) (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Buyer or the Company (as applicable, the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing describing such Indemnified Liabilities or Company Indemnified Liabilities, as applicable (the “Indemnified Loss”), including the amount thereof, if known, in such detail as is reasonably practicable and the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice to notify the Indemnified Party that it elects to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially and adversely prejudiced by such failure to notify. If the Indemnifying Party timely notifies the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such third party claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to undertake, conduct and control, the defense, conduct and settlement of such third party claim and the Indemnified Party shall provide its reasonable cooperation, including providing reasonable access to records and personnel during business hours to the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; provided, that the requesting party shall (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the disruption of the business of the other party and its affiliates, and (B) not request disclosure of any confidential or legally privileged information, or any personal information, other than in compliance with applicable law. In any such action, any Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to assume the defense of such action within such thirty (30) calendar day period, or (iii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not affect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such

-33- settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations of the Indemnitees and Company Indemnitees contained in this Section 9(k)(ii) shall apply to Third Party Claims only, and shall not apply to direct claims by or between an Indemnitee and the Company. (iii) Limitations. (1) Except in the case of Fraud or Willful Breach, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the maximum aggregate liability of the Company for all Indemnified Losses under Section 9(k)(i) shall be equal to the amount that has been actually funded by the Buyer on the Closing Date. (2) Prior to and in conjunction with seeking indemnification, an Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the amount of Indemnified Losses for which it may be entitled to indemnification hereunder. (3) Except in the case of Fraud or Willful Breach, the right of the Indemnitees to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 9(k) will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnitees with respect to all monetary losses in connection with, arising out of, or resulting from the subject matter of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no party hereto shall be liable for any exemplary or punitive damages or any other damages to the extent not reasonably foreseeable arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (in each case, unless any such damages are awarded pursuant to a third party claim). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9(k) will limit any party’s right to seek and obtain specific performance or injunctive relief to which any party may be entitled. (l) No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. (m) Remedies. Each party to this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce all rights provided herein specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, the parties recognize that in the event that any party fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the non-breaching parties. The parties therefore agrees that the non-breaching parties shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. (n) Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Buyer enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state, local or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
