All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein. All references to “Dollars” or “$” are United States Dollars, unless otherwise noted.

2.	LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1 Promise to Pay. Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay each Lender, the outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans advanced to Borrower by such Lender and accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts due hereunder as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

2.2 Term Loans.

(a) Availability. (1) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders agree, severally and not jointly, to make term loans to Borrower on the Effective Date in an aggregate amount of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000.00) according to each Lender’s Term A Loan Commitment as set forth on Schedule 1.1 hereto (such term loans are hereinafter referred to singly as a “Term A Loan”, and collectively as the “Term A Loans”). After repayment, no Term A Loan may be re‑borrowed.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders agree, severally and not jointly, during the Second Draw Period, to make term loans to Borrower, upon Borrower’s request, in an aggregate amount up to Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00) according to each Lender’s Term B Loan Commitment as set forth on Schedule 1.1 hereto (such term loans are hereinafter referred to singly as a “Term B Loan”, and collectively as the “Term B Loans”). After repayment, no Term B Loan may be re‑borrowed.

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders agree, severally and not jointly, during the Third Draw Period, to make term loans to Borrower, upon Borrower’s request, in an aggregate amount up to Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00) at each Lender’s sole discretion (such term loans are hereinafter referred to singly as a “Term C Loan”, and collectively as the “Term C Loans;” each Term A Loan, Term B Loan or Term C Loan is hereinafter referred to singly as a “Term Loan” and the Term A Loans, the Term B Loans and the Term C Loans are hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Term Loans”).

(b) Repayment. Borrower shall make monthly payments of interest only in arrears commencing on the first (1^st) Payment Date following the Funding Date of each Term Loan, and continuing on the Payment Date of each successive month thereafter through and including the Payment Date immediately preceding the Amortization Date. Borrower agrees to pay, on the Funding Date of each Term Loan, any initial partial monthly interest payment otherwise due for the period between the Funding Date of such Term Loan and the first Payment Date thereof. Commencing on the Amortization Date, and continuing on the Payment Date of each month thereafter until the Maturity Date (or such Term Loan is otherwise paid in full), Borrower shall make consecutive equal monthly payments of principal, together with applicable interest, in arrears, to each Lender, as calculated by Collateral Agent (which calculations shall be deemed correct absent manifest error) based upon: (1) the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan advanced to Borrower, (2) the effective rate of interest, as determined in Section 2.3(a), and (3) a repayment schedule equal to (A) twenty-three (23) months, if the I/O Extension Event does not occur or (B) eleven (11) months, if the I/O Extension Event occurs. All unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest with respect to each Term Loan is due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. Each Term Loan may only be prepaid in accordance with Sections 2.2(c) and 2.2(d).

(c) Mandatory Prepayments. If the Term Loans are accelerated following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately pay to Lenders, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of: (i) all outstanding principal of the Term Loans plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, (ii) the applicable Final Payment, (iii) the applicable Prepayment Fee, if any, plus (iv) all other Obligations that are then due and payable, including Lenders’ Expenses and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts (if any). Notwithstanding (but without duplication with) the foregoing, on the Maturity Date, if the Final Payment had not previously been paid in full in connection with the prepayment of the Term Loans in full, Borrower shall pay to Collateral Agent, for payment to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, the applicable portion of the Final Payment still due in respect of the Term Loan(s).

(d) Permitted Prepayment of Term Loans.

(i) Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loans advanced by the Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) provides written notice to Collateral Agent of its election to prepay the Term Loans at least ten (10) days prior to such prepayment, and (ii) pays to the Lenders on the date of such prepayment, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of (A) all outstanding principal of the Term Loans plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the prepayment date, (B) the Final Payment, (C) the Prepayment Fee, plus (D) all other Obligations that are due and payable, including Lenders’ Expenses and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower shall also have the option to prepay part of Term Loans advanced by the Lenders under this Agreement, provided Borrower (i) provides written notice to Collateral Agent of its election to prepay the Term Loans at least ten (10) days prior to such prepayment, (ii) prepays such part of the Term Loans in a minimum principal amount of at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) or such greater amount that exceeds Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) by whole number increment(s) of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00), and (iii) pays to the Lenders on the date of such prepayment, payable to each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the portion of outstanding principal of such Term Loans being prepaid plus all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid through the prepayment date, (B) the applicable Final Payment, and (C) all other Obligations that are then due and payable, including Lenders’ Expenses and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts, and (D) the applicable Prepayment Fee with respect to the portion of such Term Loans being prepaid. For the purposes of clarity, any partial prepayment shall be applied pro-rata to all outstanding amounts under each Term Loan, and shall be applied pro-rata within each Term Loan tranche to reduce amortization payments under Section 2.2(b) on a pro-rata basis.

2.3 Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(a) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loans shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the Basic Rate, determined by Collateral Agent on the Funding Date of the applicable Term Loan and monthly thereafter (on the last day of the month prior to the month in which interest will accrue), which interest shall be payable monthly in arrears in accordance with Sections 2.2(b) and 2.3(e). Interest shall accrue on each Term Loan commencing on, and including, the Funding Date of such Term Loan, and shall accrue on the principal amount outstanding under such Term Loan through and including the day on which such Term Loan is paid in full.

(b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Obligations shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto plus five percentage points (5.00%) (the “Default Rate”). Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Collateral Agent.

(c) 360‑Day Year. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year, and the actual number of days elapsed.

(d) Debit of Accounts. Collateral Agent and each Lender may debit (or ACH) any deposit accounts, maintained by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes the Lenders under the Loan Documents when due. Any such debits (or ACH activity) shall not constitute a set‑off; provided, however, Collateral Agent and each Lender shall first debit (or ACH) the Designated Deposit Account and to the extent that the amount therein is not sufficient, debit (or ACH) another account of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries.

(e) Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made to the respective Lender to which such payments are owed, at such Lender’s office in immediately available funds on the date specified herein. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable monthly on the Payment Date of each month. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 noon Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid. All payments to be made by Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including payments of principal and interest, and all fees, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made without set‑off, recoupment or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds.

2.4 Secured Promissory Notes. The Term Loans shall be evidenced by a Secured Promissory Note or Notes in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto (each a “Secured Promissory Note”), and shall be repayable as set forth in this Agreement. Borrower irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make or cause to be made, on or about the Funding Date of any Term Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note, an appropriate notation on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record reflecting the making of such Term Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of each Term Loan set forth on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to such Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on such Lender’s Secured Promissory Note Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower under any Secured Promissory Note or any other Loan Document to make payments of principal of or interest on any Secured Promissory Note when due. Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of its Secured Promissory Note, Borrower shall issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Secured Promissory Note in the same principal amount thereof and of like tenor.

2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Collateral Agent:

(a) Good Faith Deposit. An amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) has been received by Collateral Agent as a good faith deposit from Borrower on or about August 18, 2020, which amount shall be applied towards the Lenders’ Expenses due under Section 2.5(e) that have been incurred through the Effective Date, with the balance, if any, towards the facility fee due under Section 2.5(b). For the purposes of clarity, Borrower shall be responsible for the entire documented amount of the Lenders’ Expenses payable under Section 2.5(e) and for the entire amount of facility fee due under Section 2.5(b).

(b) Facility Fee. A fully earned, non‑refundable facility fee of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) to be shared between the Lenders pursuant to their respective Commitment Percentages payable on the Funding Date of the Term A Loan;

(c) Final Payment. The Final Payment, when due hereunder, to be shared between the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares;

(d) Prepayment Fee. The Prepayment Fee, if and when due hereunder, to be shared between the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; and

(e) Lenders’ Expenses. All Lenders’ Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due.

2.6 Taxes.

(a) Except as required by applicable law, payments received by Lender from the Loan Parties under this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. However, if at any time any Governmental Authority, applicable law, regulation or international agreement requires any Loan Party to make any withholding or deduction from any such payment or other sum payable hereunder to Lender, then, (i) the applicable Loan Party shall withhold or make such deductions as is required by law, (ii) the applicable Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority, and (iii) subject to the provisions of Section 2.6(b) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Non-Excluded Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after the making of such required withholding or deduction, Lender receives a net sum equal to the sum that Lender would have received had no withholding or deduction been required. The Borrower shall, upon written request, furnish Lender with proof reasonably satisfactory to Lender indicating that the applicable Loan Party has made such withholding payment. The agreements and obligations of the Loan Parties and Lender contained in this Section 2.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and shall apply to any successor, assignee or participant (or other transferee) of Lender or any Loan Party under Section 12.1 (Successors and Assigns) as of the date such Person becomes party to, or otherwise obligated under, this Agreement, provided, however, that no participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under this Section 2.6(a) with respect to any participation than the 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. For purposes of this Section 2.6, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.6(a), a payment by a Loan Party shall not be increased under Section 2.6(a) by reason of a UK Tax Deduction if, on the date on which the payment falls due:

(i) the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a UK Tax Deduction if the Lender had been a UK Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a UK Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application of) any law or UK Treaty or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or

(ii) the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (b) of the definition of UK Qualifying Lender and:

(1) an officer of HM Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction (a “Direction”) under section 931 of the UK ITA which relates to the payment and that Lender has received from the UK Obligor making the payment a certified copy of that Direction; and

(2) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if that Direction had not been made; or

(iii) the relevant Lender is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of paragraph (b) of the definition of UK Qualifying Lender and:

(1) the relevant Lender has not given a UK Tax Confirmation to the relevant UK Obligor; and

(2) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if the Lender had given a UK Tax Confirmation to the relevant UK Obligor, on the basis that the UK Tax Confirmation would have enabled such UK Obligor to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an “excepted payment” for the purpose of section 930 of the UK ITA; or

(iv) the relevant Lender is a UK Treaty Lender and the UK Obligor making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the UK Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under Sections 2.6(c) or 2.6(e)(i), (ii) and (iii) (as applicable) below.

(c) The Original Lender hereby confirms that it is a QPP Lender and that it will provide the Borrower with its QPP Certificate on the date of this Agreement to the extent that it has not already done so.

(d) If the Borrower receives a notification from HM Revenue & Customs that a QPP Certificate given by a Lender has no effect, the Borrower shall promptly deliver a copy of that notification to that Lender. Any Lender which was a UK Qualifying Lender when it became party to this Agreement but subsequently ceases to be a UK Qualifying Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower of that event.

(e)

(i) Subject to sub-section (ii) below, a UK Treaty Lender and any UK Obligor which makes a payment to that UK Treaty Lender shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for the UK Obligor to obtain authorization to make that payment without a UK Tax Deduction.

(ii)

(1) The Original Lender shall provide its scheme reference number under the DTTP scheme and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Obligor in writing promptly following the obtaining of such reference number; and

(2) a UK Treaty Lender which is not a Lender on the date of this Agreement, holds a passport under the DTTP scheme, and wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to each UK Obligor in the relevant documentation which it executes on becoming a Lender under this Agreement,

and, having done so, that Lender shall be under no obligation pursuant to sub-section (i) above.

(iii) If a UK Treaty Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with sub-section (ii) above and: (a) the UK Obligor making a payment to that Lender has not made a Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender; or (b) the UK Obligor making a payment to that Lender has made a DTTP Filing but (1) that DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or (2) HM Revenue & Customs have not given the UK Obligor authority to make payments to that Lender without a UK Tax Deduction within 60 days of the date of the DTTP Filing, and in each case, the UK Obligor has notified that Lender in writing, that Lender and the UK Obligor shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for the UK Obligor to obtain authorization to make payments without a UK Tax Deduction.

(iv) If a UK Treaty Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with sub-section (ii) above, a UK Obligor shall not make a DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the DTTP Scheme in respect of that Lender’s Term Loan(s) unless that Lender otherwise agrees.

(v) A UK Obligor shall, promptly on making a DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of that DTTP Filing to the relevant UK Treaty Lender.

(vi) Each Lender which is not an Original Lender shall, in respect of each UK Obligor, indicate in the relevant documentation which it executes on becoming a Lender under this Agreement which of the following categories it falls in: (A) not a UK Qualifying Lender; (B) a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender or a QPP Lender); (C) a UK Treaty Lender; or (D) a QPP Lender. If a Lender fails to indicate its status in accordance with this sub-section (vi) then such Lender shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each UK Obligor) as if it is not a UK Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the UK Obligor(s) which category applies. For the avoidance of doubt, any such documentation shall not be invalidated by any such failure of a Lender to comply with this sub-section (vi).

(vii) The UK Obligors shall promptly on becoming aware that a UK Obligor must make a UK Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or basis of a UK Tax Deduction) notify the Lender accordingly. Similarly, a Lender shall notify the UK Obligors on becoming so aware in respect of a payment payable to that Lender.

(f) Without duplication of the Loan Parties’ obligations under Section 2.6(a), each Loan Party shall, jointly and severally, indemnify Lender, within ten days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes paid or payable by or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded 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 the applicable Loan Party by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(g) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.6, such Loan Party shall deliver to Lender the original or certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment (if any) or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

(h) If Lender receives a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or amounts with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts to that Lender pursuant to this Section 2.6, it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by a Loan Party under this Section 2.6 with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of Lender, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that each Loan Party, upon the request of Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Loan Parties pursuant to this subsection (h) to Lender in the event Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Loan Parties or any other Person.

2.7 Stamp taxes

The Borrower shall pay and, within three Business Days of demand, indemnify each Lender against any cost, loss or liability that Lender incurs in relation to all stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any Loan Document, provided that (save in respect of any such stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable by a Lender in respect of a HoldCo Transaction) this Section 2.7(a) shall not apply in respect of any stamp duty, registration and other similar Taxes payable in respect of any assignment, transfer or other alienation by a Lender of its rights and/or obligations under a Loan Document.

2.8 VAT

(a) All amounts expressed to be payable under a Loan Document by any party to a Lender or Collateral Agent which (in whole or in part) constitute the consideration for any supply for VAT purposes are deemed to be exclusive of any VAT which is chargeable on that supply, and accordingly, subject to paragraph (b) below, if VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender or Collateral Agent to any Loan Party under a Loan Document and such Lender or Collateral Agent is required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT, that Loan Party must pay to such Lender or Collateral Agent (in addition to and at the same time as paying any other consideration for such supply) an amount equal to the amount of the VAT (and such Lender or Collateral Agent must promptly provide an appropriate VAT invoice to that Loan Party).

(b) If VAT is or becomes chargeable on any supply made by any Lender or Collateral Agent (the “Supplier”) to any other Lender or Collateral Agent (the “Recipient”) under a Loan Document, and a Loan Party is required by the terms of any Loan Document to pay an amount equal to the consideration for that supply to the Supplier (rather than being required to reimburse or indemnify the Recipient in respect of that consideration):

(i) (where the Supplier is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Loan Party must also pay to the Supplier (at the same time as paying that amount) an additional amount equal to the amount of the VAT. The Recipient must (where this paragraph (i) applies) promptly pay to the Loan Party an amount equal to any credit or repayment the Recipient receives from the relevant tax authority which the Recipient reasonably determines relates to the VAT chargeable on that supply; and

(ii) (where the Recipient is the person required to account to the relevant tax authority for the VAT) the Loan Party must promptly, following demand from the Recipient, pay to the Recipient an amount equal to the VAT chargeable on that supply but only to the extent that the Recipient reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment from the relevant tax authority in respect of that VAT.

(c) Where a Loan Document requires a Loan Party to reimburse or indemnify a Lender or any Collateral Agent for any cost or expense, such requirement shall include a requirement for that Loan Party or, (at the election of Borrower) where such Loan Party is a member of the Borrower’s group, the Borrower, to reimburse or indemnify (as the case may be) such Lender or Collateral Agent for the full amount of such cost or expense, including such part of such cost or expense as represents VAT, to the extent that such Lender or Collateral Agent reasonably determines that it is not entitled to credit or repayment in respect of such VAT from the relevant tax authority.

(d) Any reference in this section 2.8 to any Loan Party shall, at any time when such Loan Party is treated as a member of a group for VAT purposes, include (where appropriate and unless the context otherwise requires) a reference to the representative member of such group at such time (the term “representative member” to have the same meaning as in the Value Added Tax Act 1994).

(e) In relation to any supply made by a Lender or Collateral Agent to any Loan Party under a Loan Document, if reasonably requested by such Lender or Collateral Agent, that Loan Party must promptly provide such Lender or Collateral Agent with details of that Loan Party’s VAT registration and such other information as is reasonably requested in connection with such Lender’s or Collateral Agent’s VAT reporting requirements in relation to such supply.

2.9 FATCA

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) below, each party to this Agreement shall, within ten Business Days of a reasonable request by another party to this Agreement:

(i) confirm to that other party whether it is:

(1) a FATCA Exempt Party; or

(2) not a FATCA Exempt Party;

(ii) supply to that other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status under FATCA as that other party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party’s compliance with FATCA; and

(iii) supply to that other party such forms, documentation and other information relating to its status as that other Party reasonably requests for the purposes of that other party’s compliance with any other law, regulation, or exchange of information regime.

(b) If a party to this Agreement confirms to another party pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) above that it is a FATCA Exempt Party and it subsequently becomes aware that it is not or has ceased to be a FATCA Exempt Party, that party shall notify that other party reasonably promptly.

(c) Paragraph (a) above shall not oblige any Lender to do anything, and paragraph (a)(iii) above shall not oblige any other party to this Agreement to do anything, which would or might in its reasonable opinion constitute a breach of:

(iv) any law or regulation;

(v) any fiduciary duty; or

(vi) any duty of confidentiality.

(d) If a party to this Agreement fails to confirm whether or not it is a FATCA Exempt Party or to supply forms, documentation or other information requested in accordance with paragraph (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, where paragraph (c) above applies), then such party shall be treated for the purposes of the Loan Documents (and payments under them) as if it is not a FATCA Exempt Party until such time as the party in question provides the requested confirmation, forms, documentation or other information.

(h) Each party to this Agreement may make any FATCA Deduction it is required to make by FATCA, and any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, and no party shall be required to increase any payment in respect of which it makes such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient of the payment for that FATCA Deduction.

(i) Each party to this Agreement shall promptly, upon becoming aware that it must make a FATCA Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of such FATCA Deduction), notify the party to whom it is making the payment and the other Lenders.

4.	CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Each Loan Party hereby grants Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted by the terms of this Agreement or applicable law to have priority to Collateral Agent’s Lien (provided that for the avoidance of doubt no filing or registration of this Agreement shall be made with Companies House in the United Kingdom). If any Loan Party shall acquire a commercial tort claim (as defined in the Code) with a value that could exceed $50,000, such Loan Party, shall promptly notify Collateral Agent in a writing signed by such Loan Party, as the case may be, of the general details thereof (and further details as may be required by Collateral Agent) and as to such Loan Party’s grant to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent.

If this Agreement is terminated, Collateral Agent’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and at such time as the Lenders’ obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Collateral Agent shall, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, promptly release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to the Loan Parties.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Loan Parties shall not be required to deliver certificates of title, or other similar evidence of ownership, with respect to vehicles owned by the Loan Parties to Lender or Collateral Agent during the term of this Agreement.

4.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements. The Loan Parties hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to file financing statements or take any other action required to perfect Collateral Agent’s security interests in the Collateral, without notice to the Loan Parties, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Collateral Agent’s interest or rights under the Loan Documents, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, except to the extent permitted by the terms of this Agreement, by the Loan Parties, or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Collateral Agent under the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary herein, no filing or registration of this Agreement shall be made with Companies House in the United Kingdom.

4.3 Pledge of Collateral. The Loan Parties hereby pledge, assign and grant to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in all the Shares, together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the performance of the Obligations. On the Effective Date, or, to the extent not certificated as of the Effective Date or not delivered pursuant to a UK Security Agreement, within fifteen (15) days of the certification of any Shares, the certificate or certificates for the Shares will be delivered to Collateral Agent, accompanied by an instrument of assignment duly executed in blank by the applicable Loan Party. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Loan Parties to certificate shares. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Shares, the Loan Parties shall cause the books of each entity whose Shares are part of the Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Collateral Agent may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral (including but not limited to the Shares) into the name of Collateral Agent and cause new (as applicable) certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Collateral Agent or its transferee. The Loan Parties will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, as Collateral Agent may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Shares. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, The Loan Parties shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms, provided that if such Event of Default is waived, then the Loan Parties’ foregoing rights shall revive. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default provided that if such Event of Default is waived, then the Loan Parties’ rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall revive.

If the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 6.5 or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment to third persons, Collateral Agent and/or any Lender may make, at the Loan Parties’ expense, all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 6.5, and take any action under the policies Collateral Agent or such Lender deems prudent.

6.6 Operating Accounts.

No filing or registration of this Agreement shall be made with Companies House in the United Kingdom.

If any Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries decides to register any copyrights or mask works in the United States Copyright Office, Borrower or such Subsidiary shall: (x) provide Collateral Agent and each Lender with at least ten (10) days prior written notice of such Subsidiary’s or such Subsidiary’s intent to register such copyrights or mask works together with a copy of the application it intends to file with the United States Copyright Office (excluding exhibits thereto); (y) execute an intellectual property security agreement and such other documents and take such other actions as Collateral Agent may reasonably request in its good faith business judgment to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected security interest in favor of Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in the copyrights or mask works intended to be registered with the United States Copyright Office; and (z) record such intellectual property security agreement with the United States Copyright Office contemporaneously with filing the copyright or mask work application(s) with the United States Copyright Office. Upon Collateral Agent’s additional request, such Loan Party or such Subsidiary shall promptly provide to Collateral Agent and each Lender with evidence of the recording of the intellectual property security agreement necessary for Collateral Agent to perfect and maintain a first priority perfected security interest in such property. For the avoidance of doubt, no filing or registration of this Agreement shall be made with Companies House in the United Kingdom.

6.9 Notices of Litigation and Default. The Loan Parties will give prompt written notice to Collateral Agent and the Lenders of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened (in writing) against a Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries, which could reasonably be expected to result in damages or costs to the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) or more or which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change. Without limiting or contradicting any other more specific provision of this Agreement, promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) upon a Responsible Officer of a Loan Party becoming aware of the existence of any Event of Default or event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, a Loan Party shall give written notice to Collateral Agent and the Lenders of such occurrence, which such notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of such Event of Default or event which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default.

Immunocore LLC may not hold assets with an aggregate value in excess of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) and Immunocore Commercial LLC may not hold assets with an aggregate value in excess of Three Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,200,000.00). Furthermore, none of Immunocore Ireland, Immunocore Nominees, Immunocore LLC, or Immunocore Commercial LLC shall maintain any Intellectual Property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary herein, no landlord agreements shall be required for any locations of the Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries in the United Kingdom.

6.12 Creation/Acquisition of Subsidiaries. In the event the Loan Parties, or any of their Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Subsidiary, such Loan Party shall provide prior written notice to Collateral Agent and each Lender of the creation or acquisition of such new Subsidiary and take all such action as may be reasonably required by Collateral Agent or any Lender to cause each such Subsidiary to become (i) if such new Subsidiary is a Foreign Subsidiary, become a co-borrower hereunder and, among other things, enter into a joinder agreement hereto, and (ii) if such new Subsidiary is a Domestic Subsidiary, provide a guaranty of Borrower’s obligations hereunder (and for the avoidance of doubt, any such Domestic Subsidiary shall not be required to be a co-borrower under this Agreement or the Loan Documents), and, in each case where a Subsidiary becomes a co-borrower or guarantor hereunder, grant a continuing pledge and security interest in and to the assets of such Subsidiary that constitute Collateral (substantially as described on Exhibit A hereto); and the applicable Loan Party (or its Subsidiary, as applicable) shall grant and pledge to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a perfected security interest in the Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, Collateral Agent and Lender have waived any requirement that Immunocore Ireland and Immunocore Nominees become co-borrowers or guarantors.

(vii) the terms of the HoldCo Transaction must not adversely affect the enforceability of the HoldCo Loan Agreement and HoldCo Loan Documents or Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of any of the HoldCo, Parent and all Guarantors, except that each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that entering into the relevant Holdco Loan Documents will re-start any applicable hardening periods under any English law governed security documents;

(xiv) HoldCo and the terms of the HoldCo Transaction must otherwise be acceptable to Collateral Agent in its sole discretion; provided, however, if Collateral Agent determines the HoldCo Transaction to not be acceptable or unduly conditions or delays confirming that the HoldCo Transaction is acceptable, but the conditions for the HoldCo Transaction set forth in this Section 7.3 (other than this subsection (xiv) are otherwise satisfied, then the HoldCo Transaction may still be consummated if HoldCo covenants in the HoldCo Loan Agreement to prepay all Obligations no later than ninety (90) days after the consummation of the HoldCo Transaction; provided, however, no Prepayment Fee will become due in connection with such prepayment; provided further, failure to make such prepayment shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the HoldCo Loan Agreement;

8.6 Other Agreements. There is a default in any agreement to which a Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries is a party with a third party or parties resulting in a right by such third party or parties, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) or that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Change; provided, however, that the Event of Default under this Section 8.6 caused by the occurrence of a breach or default under such other agreement shall be cured or waived for purposes of this Agreement upon Collateral Agent receiving written notice from the party asserting such breach or default of such cure or waiver of the breach or default under such other agreement, if at the time of such cure or waiver under such other agreement (x) Collateral Agent or any Lender has not declared an Event of Default under this Agreement and/or exercised any rights with respect thereto; (y) any such cure or waiver does not result in an Event of Default under any other provision of this Agreement or any Loan Document; and (z) in connection with any such cure or waiver under such other agreement, the terms of any agreement with such third party are not modified or amended in any manner which could in the good faith business judgment of Collateral Agent be materially less advantageous to the Loan Parties, taken as a whole;

8.7 Judgments. One or more judgments, orders, or decrees for the payment of money in an amount, individually or in the aggregate, of at least Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) (not covered by independent third‑party insurance as to which liability has been accepted by such insurance carrier) shall be rendered against a Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries and shall remain unsatisfied, unvacated, or unstayed for a period of ten (10) days after the entry thereof (provided that no Credit Extensions will be made prior to the satisfaction, vacation, or stay of such judgment, order or decree);

8.8 Misrepresentations. The Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or any Person acting for the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries makes any representation, warranty, or other statement now or later in this Agreement, any Loan Document or in any writing delivered to Collateral Agent and/or Lenders or to induce Collateral Agent and/or the Lenders to enter this Agreement or any Loan Document, and such representation, warranty, or other statement is incorrect in any material respect when made;

8.9 Subordinated Debt.

8.10 Governmental Approvals. Any Governmental Approval shall have been revoked, rescinded, suspended, modified in an adverse manner, or not renewed in the ordinary course for a full term and such revocation, rescission, suspension, modification or non‑renewal has resulted in or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change;

8.11 Lien Priority. Any Lien created hereunder or by any other Loan Document shall at any time fail to constitute a valid and perfected Lien on any of the Collateral purported to be secured thereby, to the extent such perfection is required in this Agreement or the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Agreement), subject to no prior or equal Lien, other than Permitted Liens which are permitted to have priority in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

9.	RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

(b) Without limiting the rights of Collateral Agent and the Lenders set forth in Section 9.1(a) above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall have the right at the written direction of the Required Lenders, without notice or demand, to do any or all of the following:

(i) foreclose upon and/or sell or otherwise liquidate, the Collateral;

(ii) apply to the Obligations any (a) balances and deposits of the Loan Parties that Collateral Agent or any Lender holds or controls, or (b) any amount held or controlled by Collateral Agent or any Lender owing to or for the credit or the account of the Loan Parties; and/or

(iii) commence and prosecute an Insolvency Proceeding or consent to the Loan Parties commencing any Insolvency Proceeding.

(c) Without limiting the rights of Collateral Agent and the Lenders set forth in Sections 9.1(a) and (b) above, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall have the right, without notice or demand, to do any or all of the following:

(i) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Collateral Agent considers advisable, notify any Person owing the Loan Parties money of Collateral Agent’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;

(ii) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. The Loan Parties shall assemble the Collateral if Collateral Agent requests and make it available in a location as Collateral Agent reasonably designates. Collateral Agent may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. The Loan Parties grants Collateral Agent a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies;

(iii) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, and/or advertise for sale, the Collateral. Collateral Agent is hereby granted a non‑exclusive, royalty‑free license or other right to use, without charge, the Loan Parties’ and each of their Subsidiaries’ labels, patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Collateral Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1, the Loan Parties’ and each of their Subsidiaries’ rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders;

(iv) place a “hold”, or Notice of Charge, on any account maintained with Collateral Agent or the Lenders and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

(v) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books;

(vi) appoint a receiver to seize, manage and realize any of the Collateral, and such receiver shall have any right and authority as any competent court will grant or authorize in accordance with any applicable law, including any power or authority to manage the business of the Loan Parties or any of its Subsidiaries; and

(vii) subject to clauses 9.1(a) and (b), exercise all rights and remedies available to Collateral Agent and each Lender under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 9.1 to the contrary, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all remedies referenced in this Section 9.1 without the written consent of Required Lenders following the occurrence of an Exigent Circumstance. As used in the immediately preceding sentence, “Exigent Circumstance” means any event or circumstance that, in the reasonable judgment of Collateral Agent, imminently threatens the ability of Collateral Agent to realize upon all or any material portion of the Collateral, such as, without limitation, fraudulent removal, concealment, or abscondment thereof, destruction or material waste thereof, or failure of the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries after reasonable demand to maintain or reinstate adequate casualty insurance coverage, or which, in the judgment of Collateral Agent, could reasonably be expected to result in a material diminution in value of the Collateral.

9.2 Power of Attorney. The Loan Parties hereby irrevocably appoints Collateral Agent as its lawful attorney‑in‑fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse the Loan Parties’ or any of their Subsidiaries’ name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign the Loan Parties’ or any of their Subsidiaries’ name on any invoice or xxxx of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Collateral Agent determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under the Loan Parties’ insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Collateral Agent or a third party as the Code or any applicable law permits. The Loan Parties hereby appoints Collateral Agent as its lawful attorney‑in‑fact to sign the Loan Parties’ or any of their Subsidiaries’ name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been satisfied in full and Collateral Agent and the Lenders are under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Collateral Agent’s foregoing appointment as the Loan Parties’ or any of their Subsidiaries’ attorney in fact, and all of Collateral Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been fully repaid and performed and Collateral Agent’s and the Lenders’ obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3 Protective Payments. If the Loan Parties or any of the Subsidiaries fail to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Collateral Agent may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Collateral Agent are Lenders’ Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the Default Rate, and secured by the Collateral. Collateral Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide the Loan Parties with notice of Collateral Agent obtaining such insurance or making such payment at the time it is obtained or paid or within a reasonable time thereafter. No such payments by Collateral Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Collateral Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) the Loan Parties irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Collateral Agent from or on behalf of the Loan Parties or any of its Subsidiaries of all or any part of the Obligations, and, as between the Loan Parties on the one hand and Collateral Agent and Lenders on the other, Collateral Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received against the Obligations in such manner as Collateral Agent may deem advisable notwithstanding any previous application by Collateral Agent, and (b) the proceeds of any sale of, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied: first, to the Lenders’ Expenses; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations (including any interest which, but for the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such amounts); third, to the principal amount of the Obligations outstanding; and fourth, to any other indebtedness or obligations of the Loan Parties owing to Collateral Agent or any Lender under the Loan Documents. Any balance remaining shall be delivered to the Loan Parties or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out the foregoing, (x) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category, and (y) each of

the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category. Any reference in this Agreement to an allocation between or sharing by the Lenders of any right, interest or obligation “ratably,” “proportionally” or in similar terms shall refer to Pro Rata Share unless expressly provided otherwise. Collateral Agent, or if applicable, each Lender, shall promptly remit to the other Lenders such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable repayment of each Lender’s portion of any Term Loan and the ratable distribution of interest, fees and reimbursements paid or made by the Loan Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender receiving a scheduled payment shall not be responsible for determining whether the other Lenders also received their scheduled payment on such date; provided, however, if it is later determined that a Lender received more than its ratable share of scheduled payments made on any date or dates, then such Lender shall remit to Collateral Agent or other Lenders such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable payment of such scheduled payments, as instructed by Collateral Agent. If any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, properties or securities, shall be received by a Lender in excess of its ratable share, then the portion of such payment or distribution in excess of such Lender’s ratable share shall be received by such Lender in trust for and shall be promptly paid over to the other Lender for application to the payments of amounts due on the other Lenders’ claims. To the extent any payment for the account of the Loan Parties is required to be returned as a voidable transfer or otherwise, the Lenders shall contribute to one another as is necessary to ensure that such return of payment is on a pro rata basis. If any Lender shall obtain possession of any Collateral, it shall hold such Collateral for itself and as agent and bailee for Collateral Agent and other Lenders for purposes of perfecting Collateral Agent’s security interest therein.

9.5 Liability for Collateral. So long as Collateral Agent and the Lenders comply with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Collateral Agent and the Lenders, Collateral Agent and the Lenders shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. The Loan Parties bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Failure by Collateral Agent or any Lender, at any time or times, to require strict performance by the Loan Parties of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Collateral Agent or any Lender thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by Collateral Agent and the Required Lenders and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. The rights and remedies of Collateral Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Collateral Agent and the Lenders have all rights and remedies provided under the Code, any applicable law, by law, or in equity. The exercise by Collateral Agent or any Lender of one right or remedy is not an election, and Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Collateral Agent’s or any Lender’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

9.7 Demand Waiver. Each Loan Party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Collateral Agent or any Lender on which the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary is liable.

11.	CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

New York law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. The Loan Parties, Lenders and Collateral Agent and each Lender each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, COLLATERAL AGENT AND THE LENDERS SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH COLLATERAL AGENT AND THE LENDERS (IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 9.1) DEEM NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL OR TO OTHERWISE ENFORCE COLLATERAL AGENT’S AND THE LENDERS’ RIGHTS AGAINST BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY. Each Loan Party expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Loan Party hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each Loan Party hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to each Loan Party at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by a Loan Party in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of such Loan Party’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, first class, registered or certified mail return receipt requested, proper postage prepaid.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER, COLLATERAL AGENT, AND THE LENDERS EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH PARTY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

12.	GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. The Loan Parties may not transfer, pledge or assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Collateral Agent’s and each Lender’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Collateral Agent’s and each Lender’s discretion, subject to Section 12.6). The Lenders have the right, without the consent of or notice to the Loan Parties, to sell, transfer, assign, pledge, negotiate, or grant participation in (any such sale, transfer, assignment, negotiation, or grant of a participation, a “Lender Transfer”) all or any part of, or any interest in, the Lenders’ obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that any such Lender Transfer (other than a transfer, pledge, sale or assignment to an Eligible Assignee) of its obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall require the prior written consent of the Required Lenders (such approved assignee, an “Approved Lender”). The Loan Parties and Collateral Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned until Collateral Agent shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement in form satisfactory to Collateral Agent executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto, and shall have received such other information regarding such Eligible Assignee or Approved Lender as Collateral Agent reasonably shall require. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender Transfer (other than a Lender Transfer in connection with (x) assignments by a Lender due to a forced divestiture at the request of any regulatory agency; or (y) upon the occurrence of a default, event of default or similar occurrence with respect to a Lender’s own financing or securitization transactions) shall be permitted, without the Loan Parties’ consent, to any Person which is an Affiliate or Subsidiary of the Loan Parties, a direct competitor of the Loan Parties or a vulture hedge fund, each as determined by Collateral Agent in its good faith business discretion.

12.2 Indemnification. The Loan Parties agree to indemnify, defend and hold Collateral Agent and the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Collateral Agent or the Lenders (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) asserted by any other party in connection with; related to; following; or arising from, out of or under, the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (b) all losses or Lenders’ Expenses incurred, or paid by Indemnified Person in connection with; related to; following; or arising from, out of or under, the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents between Collateral Agent, and/or the Lenders and the Loan Parties (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Loan Parties hereby further indemnifies, defends and holds each Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnified Person) in connection with any investigative, response, remedial, administrative or judicial matter or proceeding, whether or not such Indemnified Person shall be designated a party thereto and including any such proceeding initiated by or on behalf of the Loan Parties, and the reasonable expenses of investigation by engineers, environmental consultants and similar technical personnel and any commission, fee or compensation claimed by any broker (other than any broker retained by Collateral Agent or Lenders) asserting any right to payment for the transactions contemplated hereby which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Person as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the use or intended use of the proceeds of the loan proceeds except for liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
