Each Lender with a Commitment severally agrees to make loans in U.S. Dollars (“Loans”) on and after the Effective Date from time to time until the DDTL Commitment Expiration Date in an amount equal to such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share (for purposes of calculating any such Pro Rata Share, excluding any Loans attributable to PIK Interest or PIK Fees) of such aggregate amounts as the Company may request from all Lenders; provided that (i) the Total Outstandings (other than any Loans attributable to PIK Interest or PIK Fees) will not at any time exceed the Loan Availability and (ii) the Exposure of any Lender (other than any Loans attributable to PIK Interest or PIK Fees) will not at any time exceed its Commitment. The Commitment of each Lender shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of Loans funded by such Lender, but not the amount of Loans attributable to PIK Interest or PIK Fees. On the DDTL Commitment Expiration Date, the unused Commitments shall terminate. The Loans may be repaid or prepaid in accordance with the provisions hereof, but once repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

2.1.2 Increase in Commitments and Incremental Loans.

(a) The Company may, at its option any time before the Maturity Date, seek to increase the Commitments (any such increase, a “Commitment Increase”) and/or Incur additional Loans (“Incremental Loans”) upon written notice to the Lenders.

(b) Any such notice delivered to the Lenders in connection with a Commitment Increase or any Incremental Loans shall be delivered at a time when no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and shall specify (i) the amount of such Commitment Increase or Incremental Loans (which shall not be less than $1,000,000 (unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders)) sought by the Company, (ii) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Company proposes that such Commitment Increase shall be effective or such Incremental Loans shall be funded, which shall be a date not less than three Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Lenders (unless otherwise agreed by the Required Lenders in their reasonable discretion) and (iii) the identity of each Incremental Lender to whom the Company proposes any portion of such Commitment Increase be allocated or Incremental Loans be provided by and the amounts of such allocations or Incremental Loans. Commitment Increases and Incremental Loans may provided on a non pro-rata basis by one or more Lenders and/or other Persons (other than Ineligible Institutions)

reasonably acceptable the Company. No Commitment Increase shall become effective and no Incremental Loans shall be made until each of the Incremental Lenders extending such Commitment Increase or providing such Incremental Loans and the Company shall have delivered to the Lenders a document in form reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders pursuant to which any such Incremental Lender states the amount of its Commitment Increase or Incremental Loans and agrees to assume and accept the obligations and rights of a Lender hereunder (“Incremental Amendment”), and the Company accepts such new Commitments or Incremental Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Commitment Increase shall be established and no Incremental Loans shall be incurred unless, subject to Section 1.3, (i) no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such Commitment Increase or Incremental Loan; (ii) all fees and expenses, if any, owing in respect of such increase to the Lenders will have been paid; (iii) the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered any customary legal opinions or other customary closing documents reasonably requested by the Lenders providing such Commitment Increase or Incremental Loan in connection with any such transaction and (iv) after giving effect to such Commitment Increase or Incremental Loan, the aggregate amount of all outstanding Commitments and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans, together with the aggregate principal amount of Debt outstanding and Incurred in reliance on Section 11.1(c), does not exceed $125,000,000 plus the amount of any interest and fees payable in kind and added to the principal amount of such Debt or any Loan (including any PIK Interest and PIK Fees).

(d) Upon the effectiveness of any Commitment Increase or Incurrence of any Incremental Loan of any Incremental Lender that is not already a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1.2, such Incremental Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” hereunder, and henceforth shall be entitled to all the rights of, and benefits accruing to, Xxxxxxx hereunder and shall be bound by all agreements, acknowledgements and other obligations of Lenders hereunder.

(e) The terms of any such Commitment Increase and Incremental Loans (other than the All-In Yield, including the interest rate and any fees, applicable thereto) shall be identical to those of the other Commitments and Loans outstanding under this Agreement, including with respect to subordination. Each Commitment Increase shall be deemed for all purposes a Commitment and each Loan made thereunder and each Incremental Loan shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Loan. The Lenders are under no obligation to provide any Commitment Increase or Incremental Loan.

(f) The All-In Yield applicable to the Incremental Loans and any other Funded Debt of the Company shall be determined by the Company and the applicable Incremental Lenders or the lenders providing such Funded Debt, and shall be set forth in each applicable Incremental Amendment or agreement or instrument evidencing such Funded Debt; provided, however, that with respect to any Loans under a Commitment Increase, Subordinated Loans incurred pursuant to Section 11.1(cq), Senior Debt incurred pursuant to Section 11.1(b)(i), Incremental Loans or any other Funded Debt that is pari passu or senior to the Subordinated Loans, unless otherwise agreed by NEA 18 Venture

Growth Equity, L.P. in its sole discretion, if the All-In Yield applicable to such Incremental Loans or Funded Debt, as applicable, shall be greater than the applicable All-In Yield payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as amended through the date of such calculation with respect to the Loans, then the interest rate with respect to the Loans, shall be increased by the applicable amount by which the All-In Yield of the Incremental Loans or loans under any such other Funded Debt exceeds that of the Loans under this Agreement (the provisions of this Section 2.1.2(f), the “MFN Provision”).

(g) Incremental Loans may not permit the payment of cash interest in any period in which the Company elects to pay the Loans in PIK Interest and Incremental Loans may only be repaid on a pro rata or less than pro rata basis with the Loans.

(h) In connection with the incurrence or issuance of any Incremental Loans, preferred stock or any other Funded Debt, unless otherwise agreed by NEA 18 Venture Growth Equity, L.P. (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries may directly or indirectly issue any warrants, common stock or similar “equity kicker” (including any other equity derivative or synthetic instrument in lieu thereof, such as contingent value rights) (any such instrument, “Equity Upside”) to the providers of any such Incremental Loans, preferred stock or other Funded Debt; provided that, solely in connection with an issuance of Incremental Loans or any Subordinated Debt incurred pursuant to Section 11.1(q) hereof, the Company may issue Equity Upside in an amount not to exceed the aggregate amount of Warrants (calculated on a pro rata basis taking into account the amount of such Incremental Loans to be committed or incurred) issued or issuable pursuant to the Warrantholders’ Agreement (the provisions of this Section 2.1.2(h), the “Upside Cap”). By way of example, an incurrence of an additional $50.0 million on Incremental Loans would result in a maximum Equity Upside of 9.9% of the outstanding common stock of the Company giving pro forma effect to the conversion, exercise or exchange of any security convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for common stock of the Company and vesting of any awards granted to directors and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

2.2 Loan Procedures.

(a) Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple and not less than the Borrowing Minimum.

2.2.1 Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Company shall notify each Lender of such request by submitting a Borrowing Request not later than noon, New York City time, five Business Days before the date of the proposed

Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable and shall be signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company. Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information (to the extent applicable, in compliance with Sections 2.1.1 and 2.2(a)):

(i) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing;

(ii) the requested date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) the location and number of the account of the Company to which funds are to be disbursed; and

(iv) that as of such date Sections 12.2.1(a) and 12.2.1(b) are satisfied.

Any such Borrowing Request may include a PIK Interest Election Notice. Promptly following a delivery of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.2.1, the Company shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such

Xxxxxx’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

2.3 [Reserved].

2.4 Funding of Borrowings. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by

it hereunder on the proposed date thereof solely by wire transfer of immediately available

funds, by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Company most recently

designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders.

2.5 [Reserved].

the Loans of each Lender shall be evidenced by a Note, with appropriate insertions,

payable to such Lender in a face principal amount equal to such Xxxxxx’s Loans.

3.2 Recordkeeping. The Company, on behalf of each Lender, shall record in

its records, the date and amount of each Loan made by each Lender and each repayment

thereof. The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall be rebuttably

presumptive evidence of the principal amount of the Loans owing and unpaid. The

failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such amount shall

not, however, limit or otherwise affect the Obligations of the Company hereunder or

under any Note to repay the principal amount of the Loans hereunder, together with all

interest accruing thereon.

SECTION 4 INTEREST.

Subject in all respects to Section 16:

4.1 Interest Rates. The Company promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan for the period commencing on the date of such Loan until such Loan is paid in full at a rate per annum equal to 15.00%; provided that (i) if any amount payable by the Company under the Loan Documents is not paid when due in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 13.1(a) or 13.1(c), then such overdue amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws; and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable on demand; provided, further, that (a) no amount shall be payable pursuant to this Section 4.1 to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, (b) no amounts shall accrue pursuant to this Section 4.1 on any overdue amount, reimbursement obligation in respect of any amount payable to a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender and (c) any interest paid in the form of PIK Interest shall be deemed paid when due for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

4.2 Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date in accordance with Section 4.4 and at the Maturity Date. After the Maturity Date, and at any time an Event of Default exists, accrued interest on all Loans shall be payable on demand.

4.4 Computation of Interest; Payment of Interest.

(a) Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 365/366 days.

(b) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan (i) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such Interest Payment Date at election of the Company in its sole discretion either (x) in cash (“Cash Interest”) or (y) in kind by capitalizing such interest and increasing the outstanding principal amount of such Loans by the amount of interest accrued in respect of such Loans during the applicable Interest Period (“PIK Interest”); (ii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment of such Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears at maturity of such Loan, including final maturity of such Loan.

(c) The Company may elect the form of interest payment with respect to Loans for each Interest Period by delivering a notice substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “PIK Interest Election Notice”) (i) as part of the Borrowing Request or (ii) at any time prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date in respect of such Interest Period. Each PIK Interest Election Notice shall include information to the following effect: (i)

the relevant Interest Payment Date applicable to such PIK Interest Election Notice; (ii) whether interest shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date (x) as Cash Interest or (y) as PIK Interest; and (iii) if interest shall be paid as PIK Interest, the increase in the principal amount of the Loans to be effective upon the relevant interest payment date as a result of such payment and the principal amount of the Loans to be outstanding as of such Interest Payment Date after giving effect to such payment. If the Company does not deliver a PIK Interest Election Notice in respect of any Interest Period (any such Interest Period, a “Subject Interest Period”), the interest on the Loans for such Subject Interest Period will be payable on the Interest Payment Date in PIK Interest.

SECTION 5 FEES.

Subject in all respects to Section 16:

5.1 Undrawn Commitment Fee. The Company agrees to pay to the each Lender based on such Xxxxxx’s Pro Rata Share an undrawn commitment fee in U.S. Dollars, which shall accrue at the Undrawn Commitment Fee Rate on the daily unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from the Effective Date to the DDTL Commitment Expiration Date; provided, that any undrawn commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the unused Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time shall be payable by the Company so long as such undrawn commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Company prior to such time of such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender. Undrawn commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter and on the DDTL Commitment Expiration Date for any period then ending for which such undrawn commitment fees shall not have previously been paid, at election of the Company in its sole discretion either (x) in cash or (y) in kind by capitalizing such fees and increasing the outstanding principal amount of Loans by the amount of fees accrued in respect of such Loans during the applicable period (“PIK Fees”). The unused commitment fee shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 365/366 days. For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Loans funded by such Lender other than any Loans attributable to PIK Interest and PIK Fees.

5.2 [Reserved]

5.3 [Reserved]

SECTION 6 REDUCTION OR TERMINATION OF THE COMMITMENT; PREPAYMENTS.

6.1 Reduction or Termination of the Commitment.

6.1.1 Voluntary Reduction or Termination of the Commitment. The Company may from time to time on at least one Business Day’s prior written notice received by each Lender permanently reduce the Commitments to an amount not less

than the Total Outstandings (other than any Loans attributable to PIK Interest or PIK Fees); provided that a notice of termination or reduction of the Commitments under this Section 6.1.1 may state that such notice is conditioned upon the occurrence of one or more events specified therein, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the Lenders on or prior to the specified effective date). Any such reduction shall be in an amount not less than the Borrowing Minimum or a higher integral multiple of the Borrowing Multiple. Concurrently with any such voluntary reduction of the Commitments to zero, the Company shall pay all interest on the Loans and all commitment fees.

7.4 Setoff. The Company agrees that each Lender has, during the continuance of any Event of Default, all rights of set-off and bankers’ lien provided by applicable Law, in any currency, and in addition thereto, the Company agrees that at any time any Event of Default is there continuing, each Lender may apply to the payment of any Obligations of the Company hereunder, that are then due and owing, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or moneys of the Company then or thereafter with such Lender; provided that the foregoing is subject in all respects to Section 16.

7.5 Proration of Payments.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, if any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise, on account of (i) principal of or interest on any Loan, but excluding any payment pursuant to Section 8.6 or 15.4) or (ii) other recoveries obtained by all Lenders on account of principal of and interest on the Loans then held by them, then such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery.

(b) Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionally to

their respective Pro Rata 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 Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Xxxxxx’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

7.6 Taxes.

(a) (i) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, all payments hereunder or under the Loan Documents (including any payment of principal, interest or fees) to, or for the benefit, of the Lenders shall be made by the Company free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for, or account of, any Taxes now or hereinafter imposed by any taxing authority.

(ii) In addition, the Company shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Required Lenders timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(b) If the Company makes any payment hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of which it is required by applicable Law to, and does in fact, deduct or withhold any Taxes, the Company shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant taxing authority within the time allowed for payment under applicable Law. In addition, if the Taxes that the Company deducts or withholds are Indemnified Taxes, the Company shall increase the payment hereunder or under any such Loan Document such that after the reduction for the amount of such Taxes (and any Indemnified Taxes deducted or withheld with respect to the additional payments required under this Section 7.6(b)), the amounts received by the Lenders equal the amounts that would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(c) If any Lender is required by Law to make any payments of any Indemnified Taxes on or in relation to any amounts received or receivable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or any Indemnified Tax is assessed against a Lender with respect to amounts received or receivable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the Company will indemnify such Person against (i) such Indemnified Taxes (and any reasonable expenses associated with such Indemnified Taxes) and (ii) any Indemnified Taxes imposed as a result of the receipt of the payment under this Section 7.6(c), whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by relevant taxing authority. A certificate prepared in good faith as to the amount of such payment by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive, and binding on all parties.

(d) (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 Company, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Company, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Company 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 Company, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Company as will enable the Company 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 7.6(d)(ii), (iii), or (iv) below) 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) Each Lender that is not a United States person within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30) (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to, deliver to the Company on or prior to the Effective Date (or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee, on the date of such assignment to such Lender) two accurate and complete signed copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN, W‑8BEN‑E, W‑8ECI, or W‑8IMY (or any successor or other applicable form prescribed by the IRS), as applicable, certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to a complete exemption from, or a reduced rate in, United States withholding tax on interest payments to be made hereunder or any Loan. If a Lender that is a Non-U.S. Lender is claiming a complete exemption from withholding on interest pursuant to Code Sections 871(h) or 881(c), the Lender shall deliver (along with two accurate and complete signed copies of IRS Form W‑8BEN, or W‑8BEN‑E, as applicable) a certificate in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Code Section 881(c)(3)(A), a “10-percent shareholder” of the Company within the meaning of Code Section 881(c)(3)(B), or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Code Section 881(c)(3)(C) (any such certificate, a “Withholding Certificate”). In addition, each Lender that is a Non-U.S. Xxxxxx agrees that from time to time after the Effective Date (or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee, after the date of the assignment to such Lender), when a lapse in time or a change in circumstances renders the prior certificates hereunder obsolete or inaccurate, such Lender shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, deliver to the Company two new and accurate and complete signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI, or W-8IMY (or any successor or other applicable forms prescribed by the IRS), and if applicable, a new Withholding Certificate, to confirm or establish the entitlement to an exemption from, or reduction in, United States withholding tax on interest payments to be made hereunder or any Loan.

(iii) Each Lender that is a United States person within the meaning of Code Section 7701(a)(30) shall provide two properly completed and duly executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor or other applicable form) to the Company on or prior to the Effective Date (or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee, on the date of such assignment to such Lender) certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States backup withholding tax. To the extent that a form provided pursuant to this Section 7.6(d)(iii) is rendered obsolete or

inaccurate as result of a change in circumstances with respect to the status of a Lender, such Lender shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, deliver to the Company revised forms necessary to confirm or establish the entitlement to such Xxxxxx’s exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

(iv) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. 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 Company at the time or times prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Company 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 Company as may be necessary for the Company to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Xxxxxx has complied with such Xxxxxx’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 7.6(d)(iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date.

(v) [Reserved]

(e) If any party 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 7.6 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.6), 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 7.6 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (e) (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 paragraph (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph 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.

(f) Each party's obligations under this Section 7.6 shall survive 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 8 INCREASED COSTS.

8.1 Increased Costs.

(a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender;

(ii) impose on any Lender or the applicable offshore interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Excluded Taxes in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, (B) Indemnified Taxes, and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Company will pay to such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Company will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8.1 shall be delivered to the Company and

(a) Each Lender shall promptly notify the Company of any event of which it has knowledge which will result in, and will use reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Xxxxxx’s sole judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or avoid, any obligation by the Company to pay any amount pursuant to Section 7.6 or 8.1 (and, if any Lender has given notice of any such event described above and thereafter such event ceases to exist, such Lender shall promptly so notify the Company ).

any circumstances described in Section 8.1, the Company may designate another bank which is reasonably acceptable to the Required Lenders in their reasonable discretion (such other bank being called a “Replacement Lender”) to purchase the Loans of such Lender and such Xxxxxx’s rights hereunder, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans payable to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Loans and all accrued but unpaid fees owed to such Lender and any other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement, and to assume all the obligations of such Lender hereunder provided (i) in the case of any assignment resulting from a claim for payment under Section 7.6 or 8.1, such assignment will result in a reduction in such payments, (ii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law and (iii) in the case of any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender directly affected thereby” (or any other class or group of Lenders other than the Required Lenders) with respect to which Required Lender consent (or the consent of Lenders holding loans or commitments of such class or lesser group representing more than 50% of the sum of the total loans and unused commitments of such class or lesser group at such time) has been obtained, as applicable, any Lender becoming a non-consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent. Upon such purchase and assumption (pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption), such Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights hereunder (other than rights with respect to indemnities and similar rights applicable to such Lender prior to the date of such purchase and assumption) and shall be relieved from all obligations to the Company hereunder, and the Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder. Each Lender agrees that if it is replaced pursuant to this Section 8.6, it shall execute and deliver to the Company an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Company any Note (if the assigning Xxxxxx’s Loans are evidenced by one or more Notes) subject to such Assignment and Assumption (provided that the failure of any Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 8.6 to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver any such Note shall not render such sale and purchase (or the corresponding assignment) invalid), such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and any such Note shall be deemed cancelled. In connection with any replacement under this Section 8.6, if the replaced Xxxxxx does not execute and deliver to the Company a duly executed Assignment and Assumption by the time all Obligations of the Company owing to such Lender have been paid in full to such replaced Xxxxxx (other than in respect of contingent indemnification claims as to which no claim has been asserted), then such replaced Xxxxxx shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption.

For the purposes of this Section 15.5(b), the term “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:

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 described in the third sentence of Section 15.1 that affects such Participant. The Company agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 7.6, 8.1 and 8.3 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 7.6 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 7.6 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 8.6 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 7.6 or 8.1, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Company’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to effectuate the provisions of Section 8.6(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 7.5(a) as though it were a Lender.

The Lenders may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from, and may have economic interests that conflict with, those of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Lenders do not have any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 16 SUBORDINATION.

The Company agrees, and each Lender by entering into this Agreement agrees, that the Obligations are subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner

provided in this Section 16, to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt (whether outstanding on the date hereof or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed), and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of Senior Debt.

16.1 Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.

Upon any distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property, in an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any marshaling of the Company’s assets and liabilities:

(a) holders of Senior Debt shall receive payment in full in cash of Senior Obligations due in respect of such Senior Debt (including interest accrued or accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar case or proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Debt (including any default rate specified therein), whether or not allowed or allowable in such proceeding) before the Lenders will be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the Obligations; and

(b) until all Senior Obligations with respect to Senior Debt (as provided in clause (a) above) are is paid in full, any distribution to which Xxxxxxx would be entitled but for this Section 16 will be made to the holders of Senior Debt, as their interests may appear.

16.2 No Cash Payments in Respect of the Obligations; Certain Other Agreements

Without in any way limiting Section 16.1 or any other provision of this Section 16.

(a) Unless and until the Senior Obligations Debt shall have been paid in full in cash (or, in case of letters of credit or other contingent obligations (other than indemnity and similar obligations as to which no claim has been asserted), cash collateralized in full in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the holders thereof) (referred to herein as "Paid in Full"), no Lender or other holder of Obligations will take or receive from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will make, give or permit, directly or indirectly, in any manner, any payment, distribution, prepayment or collateral security for, the whole or any part of the Obligations, whether for principal, interest, fees or otherwise.

(b) Unless and until the Senior Obligations Debt shall have been Paid in Full, no Lender or other holder of Obligations will take any enforcement action with respect to any default or Event of Default arising hereunder (including any acceleration of the Obligations), other than actions to preserve its rights under this Agreement

(c) Until all of the Senior Obligations Debt have been Paid in Full, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Lender or other holder of Obligations will permit any amendment, modification or supplement to this Agreemenet

the effect of which is to (a) require that interest be or fees be payable hereunder in cash rather than in kind, (b) change to an earlier date the dates upon which payments of principal or interest on the Obligations are due, or (c) change or add any event of default or any covenant in a manner that would make the terms of this Agreement more restrictive on the Company and its Subsidiaries, or (d) otherwise change or amend any other term of this Agreement if such change or amendment would result in a default or event of default under the JPM Credit Agreement or confer additional material rights on the Lenders in a manner materially adverse to the Company or the holders of the than the terms of the definitive documentation in respect of such Senior Obligations Debt.

16.3 Acceleration of Loans.

If payment of the Lenders is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company will promptly notify the holders of Senior Debt of the acceleration.

16.4 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

In the event that any Lender receives any payment of any Obligations with respect to the Loans, or a payment of cash or property from the Company in exchange for a Loan, in each case, at a time when the payment is prohibited by any provision of this Section 16, such payment will be held by each Lender, in trust for the benefit of, and will be paid forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to, (a) until the JPM Facility Oobligations in respect of any Senior Funded Debt have been Paid In Full, the agent under the JPM Credit Agreement (“Senior Credit Facility Agent”) for distribution to the lenders thereunder lenders in respect of such Senior Funded Debt in accordance with its the terms of the definitive documentation governing such Senior Funded Debt and (b) thereafter, to other holders of Senior Debt as their interests may appear or their representative, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Senior Obligations with respect to Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to cause such Senior Obligations Debt to be Paid In Full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt.

16.5 Notice by Company.

The Company will promptly notify the Required Lenders of any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of any Obligations with respect to the Loans to violate this Section 16, but failure to give such notice will not affect the subordination of the Senior Obligations Debt as provided in this Article 16.

16.6 Subrogation.

After all Senior Debt is Paid In Full and until the Loans are Paid In Full, the Lenders will be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Debt pari passu with the Loans) to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Lenders have been applied to the payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article 16 to holders of

Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to any Lender is not, as between the Company and any Lender, a payment by the Company on the Loans.

6.7 Relative Rights.

This Article 16 defines the relative rights of the Lenders on the one hand and holders of Senior Debt on the other hand. Nothing in this Agreement will:

(a) impair, as between the Company and any Lender, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium on, if any, and interest, if any, on, the Loans in accordance with their terms;

(b) affect the relative rights of Lenders other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Debt; or

(c) prevent the Required Lenders or any Lender from exercising its available remedies upon Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to any Lender.

If the Company fails because of this Article 16 to pay principal of, premium on, if any, or interest, if any, on the due date, the failure is still an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default.

16.8 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by Company.

No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the Obligations may be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or any Lender or by the failure of the Company or any Lender to comply with this Agreement.

16.9 Distribution or Notice to Representative.

Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their representative.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 16, the Required Lenders will be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Required Lenders for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other debt of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 16.

16.10 Authorization to Effect Subordination.

Each Lender, by its acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Required Lenders on such Xxxxxx’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate

to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Section 16, and appoints the Required Lenders to act as such Xxxxxx’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
