(i) determining compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires the calculation of the Total Leverage Ratio;

(ii) determining the accuracy of representations and warranties and/or whether a Default or Event of Default (or any subset of Defaults or Events of Default) has occurred, is continuing or would result from an action; or

(iii) testing availability under baskets set forth in this Agreement (including any baskets based on, or measured as, a percentage of Consolidated EBITDA or Consolidated Total Assets or by reference to the Available Amount or the Available Equity Amount);

in each case, in connection with a Limited Condition Transaction, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “LCT Election”), with such LCT Election to be made on or prior to (a) in the case of any Limited Condition Transaction described in clause (a) of the definition of “Limited Condition Transaction,” the date of execution of, at the option of the Borrower, the definitive agreement or a letter of intent related to such Limited Condition Transaction, or (b) with respect to any Limited Condition Transaction described in clause (b) or (c) of the definition of “Limited Condition Transaction,” the date of delivery of irrevocable notice with respect thereto (provided that, in each case, the Borrower may subsequently elect to rescind such LCT Election), and the date of determination of whether any such Limited Condition Transaction (including any Specified Transaction or other action in connection therewith) is permitted hereunder shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreement or a letter of intent for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into or the date of delivery of irrevocable notice with respect to such Limited Condition Transaction, as applicable (the “LCT Test Date”), and if, after giving Pro Forma Effect to the Limited Condition Transaction, the Specified Transactions and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent Test Period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with; provided that, if financial statements for one or more subsequent fiscal quarters or fiscal years, as applicable, shall have become available prior to the consummation of the applicable Limited Condition Transaction, the Borrower may elect, in its sole discretion, to re-determine availability under any applicable ratio, test or basket for purposes of clause (i) and (iii) above on the basis of such financial statements, in which case such date of redetermination shall thereafter be deemed to be the applicable LCT Test Date with respect to such ratio, test or basket for purposes of clause (i) and (iii) above.

-42-

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and (x) any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date (including with respect to the incurrence of Indebtedness) are not satisfied as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket, including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been unsatisfied as a result of such fluctuations; provided, however, if any ratios or baskets improve as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios or baskets may be utilized and (y) such ratios and other provisions need not be tested again at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction or related Specified Transactions. If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to any other Specified Transaction on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement, letter of intent or notice, as applicable, for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness or Liens and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.

Section 1.10 Compliance with Certain Sections. In the event that any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment, Disposition or Affiliate transaction, as applicable, meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of transactions or items then permitted pursuant to any clause or subsection of Section 5.1, Section 5.2 or Article 2, the Borrower, in its sole discretion, may, from time to time, divide, classify and/or reclassify such transaction or item (or portion thereof) among any combination of one or more categories and will be required to include the amount and type of such transaction (or portion thereof) only in any one category at any time; provided that the reclassification described in this sentence shall be deemed to have occurred automatically with respect to any such transaction or item incurred or made pursuant to a Fixed Amount that later would be permitted on a Pro Forma Basis to be incurred or made pursuant to an Incurrence-Based Amount. It is understood and agreed that any Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment, Disposition and/or Affiliate transaction need not be permitted solely by reference to one category of permitted Indebtedness, Lien, Restricted Payment, Restricted Debt Payment, Investment, Disposition and/or Affiliate transaction under Section 5.1, Section 5.2 or Article 2, respectively, but may instead be permitted in part under any combination thereof.

ARTICLE 2

AGREEMENT FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE NOTES

Section 2.1 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the issuance of the Notes will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries.

Section 2.2 Purchase. Subject to the conditions set forth in Article 4 and this Section 2.2, the Purchasers shall purchase Notes in the aggregate principal amount of thirty million dollars ($30,000,000) on the date hereof (“Funding Date”). Purchasers shall fulfill the purchase of the Notes in accordance with their respective allocations set forth on Schedule 1 hereto. Subject to Section 5.3, Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay Purchasers (or their designated Affiliate(s)) on the Funding Date either (x) an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the original principal amount of the Notes, which Purchasers shall deduct from the purchase price of the Notes and shall be deemed to be fully earned by and paid to Purchasers on the Funding Date or (y) an amount equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the original principal amount of the Notes, in Common Stock at the VWAP Price; provided that five (5) Business Days prior to the Funding Date, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Purchasers with its election between (x) or (y) above.

Section 2.3 Payment.

(a) Borrowers shall make the Final Payment on the Maturity Date to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Purchasers. If the Maturity Date falls on a date that is not a Business Day, then such date shall instead be due and payable on the next Business Day following the Maturity Date.

(b) Purchasers shall have the right to convert all or any part of the principal amount of their Notes into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Notes.

-43-

Section 2.4 Payments. All payments by the Borrower under any of the Note Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim. Payments of any amounts due to the Purchasers under this Agreement shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit to the Purchasers in dollars in immediately available funds prior to 2:00 p.m. New York City time on such date that any such payment is due, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Purchasers to which such payment is owed, and such payment shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff by Borrower. Funds received after 2:00 p.m. New York City time shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by the Administrative Agent on the first Business Day next following receipt of such funds and any applicable interest or fees shall continue to accrue. The Borrower shall pay all and any costs (administrative or otherwise) imposed by banks, clearing houses, or any other financial institution, in connection with making any payments under any of the Note Documents, except for any costs imposed by the Purchasers’ banking institutions. If any payment to be made by Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

Section 2.5 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under any Note Document shall be made, in accordance with this Section 2.5, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes except as required by applicable law. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Note Document, (i) the sum payable shall be increased by as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions of Indemnified Taxes (including deductions for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.5), each Purchaser shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions of Indemnified Taxes been made (any and all such additional amounts payable shall hereafter be referred to as the “Additional Amounts”), (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of such Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Purchaser the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Purchaser.

(b) Xxxxxxxx agrees to pay (but without duplication) all Other Taxes, or at the option of any Purchaser, timely reimburse such Purchaser for the payment of any Other Taxes. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Other Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Purchaser the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Purchaser.

(c) Without duplication of amounts payable under Sections 2.5(a) and 2.5(b), Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within ten (10) days after receipt of demand therefor, each Purchaser for all Indemnified Taxes (including all Indemnified Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.5(c)) payable or paid by such Purchaser or withheld or deducted from a payment to such Purchaser and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the applicable Purchaser(s) setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d)

(i) Any Purchaser that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Note Document shall deliver to the Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Purchaser, if reasonably requested by the Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower to determine whether or not such Purchaser 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 paragraphs (d)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) of this section) shall not be required if in the Purchaser’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser.

-44-

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) any Purchaser that is a U.S. Person (as such term is used in Section 7701 of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower on or about the date on which such Purchaser becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Purchaser is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(B) any Purchaser that is not a U.S. Person (as defined above) (a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Note Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Note Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(ii) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W‑8BEN-E; or

(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W‑8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 or Exhibit C-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or about the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Purchaser under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

-45-

(D) if a payment made to a Purchaser under any Note Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser 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 Purchaser shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower 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 Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Purchaser agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, in not event will the Borrower or any Note Party be required to pay any Additional Amount or other indemnity payment under this Section 2.5 with respect to withholding or other Taxes in respect of any equity interest in Parent or any of its affiliates.

(e) If any Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to Section 2.5 (including by the payment of Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 2.5(a)), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only up to the amount of indemnity payments previously made under this Section with respect to the Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (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 (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) 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 Purchaser represents that (i) such Purchaser is not a partnership, grantor trust, S corporation or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (ii) if a Purchaser is an entity described in clause (i), then permitting Borrower (or the regarded entity from which Borrower is disregarded as separate for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to satisfy the 100-partner limitation in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) is not a principal purpose of the beneficial owners investing in the Borrower through Purchaser.

(g) [Reserved].

(h) In no event will any transfer of a Note or any Participation with respect to a Note (in whole or in part) be permitted to the extent such transfer or Participation: (i) would result in greater than five (5) holders of Notes (and provided that a holder of a Note shall include for this purpose any holder of a Note or any person holding a Participation with respect to a Note) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (taking into account for this purpose Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)); or (ii) could reasonably be expected to result in Holdings or any of its Affiliates being treated as a publicly-traded partnership (as such term is used in Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1); in each case, as determined by the Borrower in good faith. Any transferor (or person issuing a Participation with respect to a Note) shall provide notice thereof to the Borrower, and any transfer or Participation made in contravention of this Section 2.5(h) shall be void ab initio.

-46-

(i) Borrower or one of its affiliates shall pay any stamp, issuance, stock registration or similar taxes payable in connection with the issuance of Conversion Shares under the terms of the Note; provided, that to the extent any issuance of Conversion Shares is made to a person other than the registered holder of the Note being converted to Conversion Shares, then the relevant holder of the Note (or the person to whom such Conversion Shares are to be issued) shall pay any such taxes payable as a result of such issuance of Conversion Shares to a person other than the registered holder of the Note (and in no event will any such Conversion Shares be required to be issued until Borrower or its affiliates have received evidence that all such taxes have been paid).

(j) The Borrower and Purchasers intend that the Note(s) will be treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes and agree to file their income tax returns in a manner consistent with such treatment.

Section 2.6 Fee and Costs. The Borrower will reimburse the Purchasers for reasonable, documented out-of-pocket expenses for (i) one primary counsel to the Purchasers plus, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction material to the interests of the Purchasers, in each case except allocated costs on in-house counsel, (ii) accountants and (iii) other professional advisors, and (iv) other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchasers in connection with their due diligence, negotiation and documentation of the transactions contemplated by the Note Documents. At Purchasers’ election, such reimbursed amounts may be deducted from the purchase price for the Notes. All amounts due under this Section 2.6 shall be paid promptly following receipt by the Borrower of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail.

Section 2.7 Interest. The outstanding principal amount of the Notes shall bear interest at the Interest Rate (calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in each month). Interest shall be paid quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), beginning on September 30, 2024. Interest will be payable (i) from the Funding Date through the Interest Payment Date on September 30, 2026, at the rate of 11.25% per annum (as may be adjusted by Section 5.1(v)) by adding such interest amount to the principal balance of the Notes on the applicable Interest Payment Date; provided, that, at the Borrower’s election (upon 30 days of advance written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers) interest may be paid in cash at the rate of 9.75% per annum on the applicable Interest Payment Date, and (ii) from and after December 31, 2026, at the rate of 9.75% per annum in cash (the interest rate set forth in (i) and (ii) above, the “Interest Rate”).

Section 2.8 Interest on Late Payments. Without limiting the remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers under the Note Documents or otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, if the Borrower fails (i) to make a required payment of principal or cash interest with respect to the Notes when due whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, during the continuance of an Event of Default under clauses (a), (g) or (h) of Section 5.4, the Borrower shall pay interest, after as well as before judgment, in respect of such principal and interest, at the rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate plus two percent (2.00%) for so long as such payment remains outstanding or such covenant is not cured. Such interest shall be payable on demand.

Section 2.9 Additional Notes.

(a) The Borrower hereby grants to DK and its Affiliates the right to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) aggregate principal amount of additional Notes (the “Purchasers Optional Notes”). Any such election to purchase Purchasers Optional Notes may be exercised in whole, or from time to time in part, within six (6) months after the Funding Date, upon written notice from DK, or its Affiliate, as applicable, to the Borrower; provided, however, that the right to purchase Purchasers Optional Notes shall be subject to the Borrower’s consent if (i) DK is in possession of material non-public information with respect to a Major Transaction (including a Common Stock Major Transaction) that has not been publicly announced or (ii) a Major Transaction has been publicly announced (including a Common Stock Major Transaction). Purchasers Optional Notes shall have the same terms and conditions as the Notes, including with respect to the Conversion Price thereof, which shall be the same as the Conversion Price of the Notes. Borrower agrees to pay (or to otherwise cause to be transferred to) DK or its Affiliate, as applicable, on the funding date of Purchasers Optional Notes either (x) an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the original principal amount of the Purchasers Optional Notes, which DK or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall deduct from the purchase price of such Purchasers Optional Notes and shall be deemed to be fully earned by and paid to DK or its Affiliate, as applicable, on the funding date of such Purchasers Optional Notes or (y) an amount equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the original principal amount of such Purchasers Optional Notes, in Common Stock at the VWAP Price; provided that five (5) Business Days prior to the funding date of such Purchasers Optional Notes, the Borrower shall provide written notice to DK with its election between (x) or (y) above.

-47-

(b) In the event DK or its Affiliate does not exercise their right to purchase the Purchasers Optional Notes in full on, or prior to the date that is six (6) months after the Funding Date (the “Expiration Date”), after the Expiration Date, the Borrower may issue the Purchasers Optional Notes that are unissued on the Expiration Date (the “Third Party Additional Notes”) to a third party purchaser. Third Party Additional Notes shall have the same terms and conditions as the Notes other than with respect to the Conversion Price thereof, which may be higher than the Conversion Price of the Notes.

(c) DK and the Borrower may agree for DK or any Affiliate to purchase, at any time and from time to time after the Funding Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, one or more additional Notes (the “Mutually Agreed Additional Notes” and, collectively with the Purchasers Optional Notes and the Third Party Additional Notes, the “Additional Notes”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate principal amount of the Mutually Agreed Additional Notes shall not exceed twenty-five million dollars ($25,000,000). Mutually Agreed Additional Notes shall have the same terms and conditions as the Notes. Borrower agrees to pay (or to otherwise cause to be transferred to) DK or its Affiliate, as applicable, on the funding date of Mutually Agreed Additional Notes either (x) an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the original principal amount of the Mutually Agreed Additional Notes, which DK or its Affiliate, as applicable, shall deduct from the purchase price of such Mutually Agreed Additional Notes and shall be deemed to be fully earned by and paid to DK or its Affiliate, as applicable, on the funding date of such Mutually Agreed Additional Notes or (y) an amount equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the original principal amount of such Mutually Agreed Additional Notes, in Common Stock at the VWAP Price; provided that five (5) Business Days prior to the funding date of such Mutually Agreed Additional Notes, the Borrower shall provide written notice to DK with its election between (x) or (y) above.

Additional Notes shall be a “Note” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Note Documents. The effectiveness of any Additional Note may be subject to the satisfaction of such additional conditions as the Borrower and the Purchasers purchasing such Additional Notes may agree. Holdings, the Borrower and any Subsidiary may use the proceeds of the Additional Notes for any purpose as mutually agreed by the Borrower and the Purchasers purchasing the Additional Notes. Each of the Additional Notes shall be issued and sold to the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement. The Purchasers of the Third Party Additional Notes shall deliver a joinder agreement to this Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.

Section 2.10 Optional Redemption.

(a) Except in connection with a Major Transaction pursuant to Section 5.3, prior to the third anniversary of the Funding Date, the Borrower shall not redeem the Notes; provided, however, that if the Borrower redeems or makes any prepayment on the Notes before the third anniversary of the Funding Date, the Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus (x) if the MOIC Prepayment Amount exceeds the Assumed Conversion Amount, an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the initial principal amount of the Notes prepaid, less all accrued interest previously paid in cash (the “MOIC Premium”) or (y) if the Assumed Conversion Amount exceeds the MOIC Prepayment Amount, an amount equal to the excess of the Assumed Conversion Amount over the principal amount of the Notes prepaid (the amount set forth in clause (x) or (y), as applicable, the “Applicable Premium”). For purposes hereof, (i) “Assumed Conversion Amount” means an amount equal to the VWAP Price on the date of the redemption or repayment in breach of this Section 2.10(a) multiplied by the number of shares into which the Notes would have been convertible on such date, without giving effect to any limitations on conversion set forth in Section 2(f), and (ii) “MOIC Prepayment Amount” means an amount equal to (A) the initial principal amount of the Notes prepaid, plus (B) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus (C) the MOIC Premium. The Applicable Premium shall be liquidated damages sustained by the Purchaser as the result of the early repayment or redemption and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. For the avoidance of doubt, any redemption or prepayment on the Notes pursuant to a Major Transaction will instead be governed by Section 5.3 and this Section 2.10(a) will not apply to any such redemption or prepayment.

-48-

(b) From and after the third anniversary of the Funding Date, on fifteen (15) days’ (the “Prepayment Notice Period”) written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers (the “Prepayment Notice”), the Borrower may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed and accrued and unpaid interest to (but including the applicable redemption date) plus a premium equal to 2.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be so repaid or prepaid (“Prepayment Premium”); provided, however, that during the Prepayment Notice Period, Purchasers may elect, by delivering a Conversion Notice of such election to the Borrower, in lieu of receiving cash payment of the redemption price, to have the full principal amount of the Notes, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium converted into Conversion Shares at the Conversion Price and otherwise on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Notes. In the event a Purchaser issues a Conversion Notice after such Purchaser has received the Prepayment Notice, such Conversion Notice must be received by the Borrower no later than one (1) Business Day before the redemption date specified in such Prepayment Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Borrower receives the Conversion Notice referred to in the preceding sentence later than one (1) Business Day before the redemption date specified in the Prepayment Notice, the Purchaser will not be able to convert its Notes.

(c) From and after the third anniversary of the Funding Date, if closing price per share of the Common Stock exceeds 225% of the Conversion Price for twenty (20) out of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days (as defined in the Notes), the Borrower may, at its option, redeem all but not less than all of the Notes on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Notes at a redemption price equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount (and accrued but unpaid interest) of the Notes to be redeemed.

Each Purchaser shall have fifteen (15) days from the date such notice is deemed given to exercise its right to purchase its pro rata share of the Equity Securities on the terms and conditions specified in the notice by giving written notice thereof to Parent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be required to offer or sell such Equity Securities to any Purchaser if doing so would cause Parent to be in violation of applicable securities laws by virtue of such offer or sale.

(ii) Following the Funding Date, (A) for so long as DK continues to beneficially own at least fifty percent (50%) of the number of shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) that it held on the Funding Date, then DK shall have the right to designate for election to the Board of Directors of Parent two (2) individuals (each such individual, a “Nominee”) and (B) for so long as DK continues to beneficially own less than fifty percent (50%) but at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the number of shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) that it held on the Funding Date, then DK shall have the right to designate for election to the Board of Directors of Parent one (1) Nominee.

(iv) If the number of Nominees that DK has the right to designate for election to the Board of Directors of Parent is decreased pursuant to this Section 5.1(s), then the corresponding number of Nominees shall immediately offer to tender his or her resignation for consideration by the Board of Directors of Parent and, if such resignation is requested by the Board of Directors of Parent, such Nominee shall resign within thirty (30) days from the date that DK no longer satisfied the designation requirements set forth in this Section 5.1(s). In the event that the Board of Directors of Parent requests such resignation, Xxxxxx and DK shall immediately take any and all actions necessary or appropriate to cooperate in ensuring the removal of such Nominee upon receipt of his or her resignation; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Nominee may resign at any time regardless of the period of time left in his or her then current term.

(D) The Borrower will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, amend or modify the Revolving Credit Agreement in a manner that is adverse to the Purchasers in their capacities as such without the Required Purchaser’s consent, it being understood and agreed that any changes relating to (1) any fees, costs and expenses that may become payable in connection with any amendment, waiver, or any other modification to the Revolving Credit Facility, (2) any provision under Article II (Credits), Article IV (Conditions Precedent), Article VIII (THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND COLLATERAL AGENT) and Article IX (MISCELLANEOUS) and any related definitions shall in no event be deemed to be adverse to the Purchasers.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2(h) will not prohibit the payment of any Restricted Payment or Restricted Debt Payment within sixty (60) days after the date of declaration thereof or the giving of such irrevocable notice, as applicable, if at the date of declaration or the giving of such notice such payment would have complied with the provisions of this Agreement.

(i) Financial Performance Covenants.

(i) Commencing with the Test Period ending on September 30, 2024, the Borrower shall not permit Liquidity to be less than $15,000,000 as of the last day of any Test Period.

(ii) Commencing with the Test Period ending on December 31, 2026, the Borrower shall not permit the Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to be less than $15,000,000 as of the last day of any Test Period.

-87-

(j) Home Churn Covenant. Commencing with the Test Period ending on December 31, 2025, the Borrower shall not permit the sum of (A) the number of VHRMAs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries within Maintain and Grow Markets plus (B) the number of VHRMAs of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries within Transition Markets sold by the Borrower or any Subsidiary during such period for at least Fair Market Value to be less than 28,000.

Section 5.3 Major Transaction. Upon the consummation of a Major Transaction, the Borrower may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the Notes then outstanding in an amount equal to 130% of the initial principal amount of the Notes and Additional Notes, less all accrued interest previously paid in cash (the “Major Transaction Payment”); provided that if the Major Transaction occurs within the twelve (12) months following the Funding Date, the Major Transaction Payment shall be reduced by the fee paid pursuant to Section 2.2(x) or (y), as applicable. If the Borrower intends to redeem the Notes pursuant to this Section 5.3, the Borrower shall provide the Purchasers with notice (the “Major Transaction Notice”) of its election to redeem the Notes at least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of such Major Transaction and simultaneously with consummation of such Major Transaction, the Borrower shall make such Major Transaction Payment in cash in full to each such Purchaser. In connection with any Major Transaction where the Common Stock is converted into, or exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing (such Major Transaction, a “Common Stock Major Transaction,” and such other securities, cash or property, the “Reference Property”) and at any time during which any Purchaser is unable to convert their Note in full due to the limitations set forth in Section 2(f) of the Note, such Purchaser shall receive, at each Purchaser’s option, simultaneously with the consummation of such Common Stock Major Transaction, such Reference Property as the shares of the Common Stock of Parent into which such Note could have been converted immediately prior to such Common Stock Major Transaction would have been entitled if such conversion were permitted. In the event a Purchaser issues a Conversion Notice after such Purchaser has received a Major Transaction Notice, such Conversion Notice must be received by the Borrower no later than one (1) Business Day before the date of the Major Transaction specified in such Major Transaction Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Borrower receives the Conversion Notice referred to in the preceding sentence later one (1) Business Day before the date of the Major Transaction specified in the Major Transaction Notice, the Purchaser will not be able to convert its Note. Neither the Borrower nor Parent shall consummate any Major Transaction without complying with the provisions of this Section 5.3.

Section 5.4 General Acceleration Provision upon Events of Default. If one or more of the events specified in this Section 5.4 shall have happened and be continuing beyond the applicable cure period (each, an “Event of Default”), the Administrative Agent (at the request of the Required Purchasers), by written notice to the Borrower, may declare the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes or any part of any of them (together with any other Obligations accrued or payable) to be, and the same shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable, without any further notice and without any presentment, demand, or protest of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and take any further action available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the sale of the Notes and all other rights acquired in connection with the Notes:

(a) the Borrower shall have failed to make payment of (i) principal when due, or (ii) cash interest or any other amounts due under the Notes or any other Obligations whether at the due date thereof or at a date fixed for prepayment thereof or otherwise, when and as the same shall become due and payable, and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days;

(b) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of, Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries in or in connection with any Note Document or any amendment or modification thereof or waiver thereunder, or in any report, certificate, financial statement or other document furnished pursuant to or in connection with any Note Document or any amendment or modification thereof or waiver thereunder, shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made, and such incorrect representation or warranty (if curable, including by a restatement of any relevant financial statements) shall remain incorrect for a period of 30 days after notice thereof from the Required Purchasers to the Borrower;

-88-

(c) Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries shall fail to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement contained in Section 2.10(a), Sections 5.1(b), 5.1(d) (with respect to the existence of Holdings or the Borrower), Section 5.1(p) or in Section 5.2; provided that subsequent delivery of a notice of Default shall cure such Event of Default for failure to provide notice, unless a Responsible Officer of the Borrower had actual knowledge that such Default or Event of Default had occurred and was continuing and reasonably should have known in the course of his or her duties that the failure to provide such notice would constitute an Event of Default; provided, further, that any Event of Default under Section 5.2(i) is subject to cure as provided in Section 5.5 and an Event of Default with respect to such Section shall not occur until the expiration of the 15^th Business Day subsequent to the date on which the financial statements with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter (or the fiscal year ended on the last day of such fiscal quarter) are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(i) or Section 5.1(a)(ii), as applicable;

(d) any Note Party shall fail to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement contained in any Note Document (other than those specified in paragraph (a), (b) or (d) of this Section), and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after notice thereof from the Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Purchasers) to the Borrower;

(e) Holdings, the Borrower or any of the Subsidiaries shall fail to make any payment (whether of principal or interest and regardless of amount) in respect of any Material Indebtedness, when and as the same shall become due and payable (after giving effect to any applicable grace period); provided, further, that this clause (e) shall not apply to any breach or default that is (I) remedied by Holdings, the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or (II) waived (including in the form of amendment) by the required holders of the applicable item of Indebtedness, in the case of (I) and (II), prior to the acceleration of Notes pursuant to this Section 5.4;

(f) any event or condition occurs that results in any Material Indebtedness becoming due prior to its scheduled maturity or that enables or permits (with all applicable grace periods having expired) the holder or holders of any Material Indebtedness or any trustee or agent on its or their behalf to cause any Material Indebtedness to become due, or to require the prepayment, repurchase, redemption or defeasance thereof, prior to its scheduled maturity, provided that this paragraph (f) shall not apply to (i) secured Indebtedness that becomes due as a result of the sale, transfer or other disposition (including as a result of a casualty or condemnation event) of the property or assets securing such Indebtedness (to the extent such sale, transfer or other disposition is not prohibited under this Agreement), (ii) termination events or similar events occurring under any Swap Agreement that constitutes Material Indebtedness (it being understood that paragraph (e) of this Section will apply to any failure to make any payment required as a result of any such termination or similar event) or (iii) any breach or default that is (I) remedied by Holdings, the Borrower or the applicable Subsidiary or (II) waived (including in the form of amendment) by the required holders of the applicable item of Indebtedness, in either case, prior to the acceleration of Notes pursuant to this Section 5.4;

(g) an involuntary proceeding shall be commenced or an involuntary petition shall be filed seeking (i) liquidation, court protection, reorganization or other relief in respect of Holdings, the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary or its debts, or of a material part of its assets, under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect or (ii) the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, examiner, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for Parent, Holdings, the Borrower or any Significant Subsidiary or for a material part of its assets, and, in any such case, such proceeding or petition shall continue undismissed or unstayed for sixty (60) days or an order or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall be entered;

-89-

(i) one or more enforceable judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of the greater of (a) $30,000,000 and (b) 5.0% of Consolidated Total Assets for the most recently ended Test Period as of such time determined on a Pro Forma Basis (to the extent not covered by insurance or indemnities as to which the applicable insurance company or third party has not denied its obligation) shall be rendered against Holdings, the Borrower, any of the Subsidiaries or any combination thereof and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of 60 consecutive days during which execution shall not be effectively stayed, or any judgment creditor shall legally attach or levy upon assets of such Note Party that are material to the businesses and operations of Holdings, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to enforce any such judgment;

(k) to the extent unremedied for a period of 10 Business Days (in respect of a default under clause (x) only), any Lien purported to be created under any Security Document (x) shall cease to be, or (y) shall be asserted by any Note Party not to be, a valid and perfected Lien on any material portion of the Collateral, except (i) as a result of the sale or other disposition of the applicable Collateral to a Person that is not a Note Party in a transaction permitted under the Note Documents or (ii) as a result of the acts or omissions of the Purchasers (including any failure to file Uniform Commercial Code continuation statements); provided that no Default or Event of Default shall occur if any Note Party delivered any stock certificate, promissory note or other instruments to the Collateral Agent that were subsequently unable to be located;

(l) any material provision of any Note Document or any Guarantee of the Obligations shall for any reason be asserted by any Note Party not to be a legal, valid and binding obligation of any Note Party thereto other than as expressly permitted hereunder or thereunder;

-90-

Then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) of this Section), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Purchasers, shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any or all of the following actions, at the same or different times: (i) terminate the applicable Notes, and (ii) declare the applicable Notes then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Notes so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees, premiums (and, for the avoidance of doubt, including the Applicable Premium and the Prepayment Premium) and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall become due and payable immediately, in each case, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; and in case of any event with respect to the Borrower described in paragraph (g) or (h) of this Article, the Notes shall automatically terminate and the principal of the Notes then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees, premiums (and, for the avoidance of doubt, including Applicable Premium and the Prepayment Premium) and other obligations of the Borrower accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; provided that, the Administrative Agent and the Required Purchasers shall not exercise the remedies set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) above with respect to an Event of Default if the initial event, failure or transaction giving rise to such Event of Default has either been publicly announced or notified to the Purchasers in writing in any periodic or special report, including the Compliance Certificates, and two years shall have passed from the date of such announcement or notification without any acceleration or other enforcement action being taken by the requisite Purchasers hereunder with respect to such event, failure or transaction; provided, further, that such two year limitation shall not apply if (i) the Administrative Agent has commenced any remedial action in respect of any such Event of Default or (ii) the Borrower or any Guarantor has actual knowledge of such Event of Default and has not notified the Purchasers thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to meet the Home Churn Covenant does not constitute a Default or an Event of Default.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that (x) a restatement of historical financial statements shall not result in a Default hereunder (whether pursuant to Section 5.4(b) as it relates to a representation made with respect to such financial statements (including any interim unaudited financial statements) or pursuant to Section 5.4(c) as it relates to delivery requirements for financial statements pursuant to Section 5.1) to the extent that such restatement does not reveal any material adverse difference in the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the previously reported information from actual results reflected in such restatement for any relevant prior period and (y) no Event of Default or breach of any representation or warranty in Article 3 or any covenant in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 shall constitute a Default or Event of Default if such Event of Default or breach of such representation or warranty in Article 3 or such covenant in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 would not have occurred but for a fluctuation (or other adverse change) in currency exchange rates.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any Default or Event of Default, the words “exists,” “is continuing” or similar expressions with respect thereto shall mean that the Default or Event of Default has occurred and has not yet been cured or waived. If any Default or Event of Default occurs due to (i) the failure by any Note Party to take any action by a specified time, such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured at the time, if any, that the applicable Note Party takes such action or (ii) the taking of any action by any Note Party that is not then permitted by the terms of this Agreement or any other Note Document, such Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to be cured on the earlier to occur of (x) the date on which such action would be permitted at such time to be taken under this Agreement and the other Note Documents and (y) the date on which such action is unwound or otherwise modified to the extent necessary for such revised action to be permitted at such time by this Agreement and the other Note Documents. If any Default or Event of Default occurs that is subsequently cured (a “Cured Default”), any other Default or Event of Default resulting from the making or deemed making of any representation or warranty by any Note Party or the taking of any action by any Note Party or any Subsidiary of any Note Party, in each case which subsequent Default or Event of Default would not have arisen had the Cured Default not occurred, shall be deemed to be cured automatically upon, and simultaneous with, the cure of the Cured Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.4, an Event of Default (the “Initial Default”) may not be cured pursuant to this Section 5.4:

(i) if the taking of any action by any Note Party or Subsidiary of a Note Party that is not permitted during, and as a result of, the continuance of such Initial Default directly results in the cure of such Initial Default and the applicable Note Party or Subsidiary had actual knowledge at the time of taking any such action that the Initial Default had occurred and was continuing;

(ii) in the case of an Event of Default under Section 5.4(l) that directly results in material impairment of the rights and remedies of the Purchasers and Collateral Agent under the Note Documents and that is incapable of being cured;

(iii) in the case of an Event of Default under Section 5.4(d) arising due to the failure to perform or observe Section 5.4 that directly results in a material adverse effect on the ability of the Borrower and the other Note Parties (taken as a whole) to perform their respective payment obligations under any Note Document to which the Borrower or any of the other Note Parties is a party; or

-91-

(iv) in the case of an Initial Default for which (i) the Borrower failed to give notice to the Agent and the Purchasers of such Initial Default in accordance with Section 5.1(b)(i) of this Agreement and (ii) the Borrower had actual knowledge of such failure to give such notice and reasonably should have known in the course of his or her duties that the failure to provide such notice would constitute an Event of Default.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the cure provisions in the immediately preceding paragraph do not apply to any Event of Default arising from the failure to perform or observe Section 5.1(b)(i) (which instead is governed by Section 5.4(c)).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the Notes are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to the applicable Maturity Date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including, but not limited to, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default arising under paragraphs (g) or (h) of this Section (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the Applicable Premium and the Prepayment Premium, as applicable, as of the date such Notes are accelerated or become due (if any) will also be due and payable as though the Notes were voluntarily prepaid or redeemed and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Purchaser’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any Applicable Premium or Prepayment Premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Purchaser as the result of the early repayment or redemption and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Applicable Premium or Prepayment Premium, as applicable, shall also be payable in the event the Notes (and/or the Notes Documents) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure, strict foreclosure, in connection with any restructuring, reorganization or compromise of the Obligations by the confirmation of a plan of reorganization or any other plan of compromise, restructuring or arrangement in any insolvency proceeding, or by any other means. EACH NOTE PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Note Parties expressly agree (to the fullest extent they may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Applicable Premium and the Prepayment Premium are reasonable and are the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Applicable Premium or the Prepayment Premium, as applicable, shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct among the Note Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Applicable Premium or the Prepayment Premium; and (D) the Note Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each of the Note Parties expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Applicable Premium or the Prepayment Premium, as applicable, to the Purchasers as herein described is a material inducement to the Purchasers to purchase the Notes. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit, restrict, or condition any of the Note Parties obligations or any of the Purchasers’ rights or remedies hereunder.

Section 5.5 Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.4 and subject to Section to 5.1(q), in the event that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries fail to comply with the requirements of any Financial Performance Covenant as of the last day of any fiscal quarter of the Borrower, at any time after the beginning of such fiscal quarter until the expiration of the 15 Business Day period following the date on which the financial statements with respect to such fiscal quarter (or the fiscal year ended on the last day of such fiscal quarter) are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(i) or Section 5.1(a)(ii), as applicable, Holdings or any Parent Entity (including Parent) shall have the right to issue Equity Interests for cash or otherwise receive cash contributions to the capital of Holdings or any Parent Entity as cash common equity or other Equity Interests in a form reasonably acceptable to the Required Purchasers (which Holdings or such Parent Entity shall contribute through its Subsidiaries of which the Borrower is a Subsidiary to the Borrower as cash common equity) (collectively, the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Borrower of the Net Proceeds of such issuance that are Not Otherwise Applied (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise by the Borrower of such Cure Right the applicable Financial Performance Covenant shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustment:

-92-

(a) Available Cash of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be increased with respect to such applicable fiscal quarter and any four fiscal quarter period that contains such fiscal quarter, solely for the purpose of measuring the Financial Performance Covenant set forth in Section 5.1(i)(i) and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to the Cure Amount;

(b) if, after giving effect to the foregoing pro forma adjustment, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the applicable Financial Performance Covenant, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the applicable Financial Performance Covenant as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the applicable Financial Performance Covenant that had occurred shall be deemed cured for the purposes of this Agreement; and

(c) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) in each four consecutive fiscal quarter period of the Borrower there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which the Cure Right is not exercised, (ii) during the term of this Agreement, the Cure Right shall not be exercised more than five times, (iii) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required for purposes of complying with the applicable Financial Performance Covenant and any amounts in excess thereof shall not be deemed to be a Cure Amount, (iv) there shall be no pro forma reduction in Indebtedness (by netting or otherwise) with the proceeds of the Cure Amount for determining compliance with the applicable Financial Performance Covenant for the fiscal quarter for which such Cure Amount is deemed applied, except to the extent that such proceeds are actually applied to repay Indebtedness and (v) the Purchasers shall not be required to purchase Notes unless and until the Borrower has received the Cure Amount required to cause the Borrower and the Subsidiaries to be in compliance with the applicable Financial Performance Covenant. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Cure Amount received pursuant to any exercise of the Cure Right shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the Available Amount, the Available Equity Amount, any financial ratio-based conditions or tests, or any available basket under Section 5.2 of this Agreement.

Section 5.6 Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Purchasers may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Agreement; provided that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right of any Purchaser of a Note to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Purchaser.

Section 5.7 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy conferred or reserved to the Purchasers under this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and all such rights and remedies are, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, will not prevent the concurrent assertion or exercise of any other right or remedy.

Section 5.8 Application of Proceeds.

(a) Subject to any applicable Intercreditor Agreement, upon the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 5.4 any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all costs, expenses and fees incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in connection with this Agreement, any other Note Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder or under any other Note Document on behalf of any Note Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Note Document;

-93-

SECOND, to the payment in full of the Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution); and

THIRD, to the Note Parties, their successors and assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

(a) Each of the Purchasers hereby irrevocably appoints and designates SRS Acquiom Agency Services LLC to serve as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under this Agreement and each other Note Document and authorizes each Agent to take such actions and to exercise such powers as are delegated to such Agent by the terms of the Note Documents, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, and the Purchasers, and none of Holdings, the Borrower or any other Note Party shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any such provisions. Whether or not explicitly set forth therein, the rights, powers, protections, immunities, and indemnities granted to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent herein shall apply to any document entered into by the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent in connection with its role as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, as applicable, under the Note Documents.

(b) The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Purchaser as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder, without notice to or consent of the Purchasers and without any duty to account therefor to the Purchasers. The Purchasers acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Holdings, Borrower or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of the Borrower or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.

-94-

(c) The Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Note Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agents (i) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Note Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Note Documents); provided that neither the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its respective opinion, may expose such Person to liability or that is contrary to any Note Document or applicable law, and (ii) shall not have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, to any Lender or any Issuing Bank, any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Note Parties or any of their Affiliates, that is communicated to, obtained or in the possession of, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any of its respective Related Parties in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Purchasers by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent herein. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 7.10) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of such Agent shall have received written notice from a Required Purchaser or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. Each Agent shall promptly notify the Purchasers of its receipt of any such notice. Each Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Purchasers. No Agent shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Note Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Note Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Note Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 4 or elsewhere in any Note Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent.

Section 6.2 Reliance by Agent.

(a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document, affidavit, letter or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise made by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Responsible Officer or Financial Officer of such Person). Each Agent also may rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone, or other communication and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (including, if applicable, a Financial Officer or a Responsible Officer of such Person). If the Administrative Agent shall reasonably require any information to perform its duties under the Notes Documents, the Borrower shall, to the extent it has such information, provide such information promptly upon request, subject to confidentiality and privilege obligations of the Borrower. Each Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Delivery of notices, reports, documents and other information to any Agent (and the information contained in such materials) is for informational purposes only and such Person’s receipt of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive knowledge of any event or circumstance or any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the other Note Documents to the contrary, before taking or omitting any action to be taken or omitted by any Agent under the terms of this Agreement and the other Note Documents, each Agent may seek the written direction of the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of Purchasers), which written direction may be in the form of an email, and each Agent is entitled to rely (and is fully protected in so relying) upon such direction. If any Agent requests such direction with respect to any action, such Person shall be entitled to refrain from such action unless and until such Person has received such direction, and the Agents do not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. In the absence of an express statement in the Note Documents regarding which Purchasers shall direct in any circumstance, the direction of the Required Purchasers shall apply and be sufficient for all purposes. If any Agent so requests, it must first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Purchasers against any and all fees, losses, liabilities and expenses which may be incurred by the Agent by reason of taking or continuing to take, or omitting, any action directed by any Purchaser prior to having any obligation to take or omit to take any such action. Any provision of this Agreement or the other Note Documents authorizing any Agent to take any action does not obligate such Agent to take such action.

(c) Each Purchaser that has funded its pro rata share of purchase price of the Notes shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted, or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter sent by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to such Purchaser for consent, approval, acceptance or satisfaction, or required hereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Purchaser. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder or under the other Note Documents to the closing of this Agreement, any disbursement or any withdrawal from any account, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to each Purchaser unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice to the contrary from such Purchaser prior to the closing, any such disbursement or any such withdrawal.

-95-

(d) If at any time any Agent is served with any judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process (including orders of attachment or garnishment or other forms of levies or injunctions or stays relating to the transfer of any Collateral), such Agent is authorized to comply therewith in any manner as it or its legal counsel of its own choosing deems appropriate, and if such Agent complies with any such judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, writ or other form of judicial or administrative process, such Agent shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or to any other Person even though such order, judgment, decree, writ or process may be subsequently modified or vacated or otherwise determined to have been without legal force or effect.

(e) Not less than four Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior to any payment, distribution or transfer of funds by the Administrative Agent to any Person under the Note Documents, the payee shall provide to the Administrative Agent such documentation and information as may be requested by the Administrative Agent (unless such Person has previously provided the documentation or information, and so long as such documentation or information remain accurate and true). The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty, obligation or liability to make any payment to any Person unless it has timely received such documentation and information with respect to such Person, which documentation and information shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

Section 6.3 Delegation of Duties. Each Agent may perform any of and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Note Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by such Agent. Each Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any of and all their duties and exercise their rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of such Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Agent.

Section 6.4 Liability of any Agent.

(a) Neither Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall:

(i) BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTION TAKEN OR OMITTED TO BE TAKEN BY ANY OF THEM UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (EXCEPT FOR ITS OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT IN CONNECTION WITH ITS DUTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN A FINAL AND NONAPPEALABLE JUDGMENT); PROVIDED THAT NO ACTION TAKEN OR NOT TAKEN BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AT THE DIRECTION OF THE REQUIRED PURCHASERS (OR SUCH OTHER NUMBER OR PERCENTAGE OF PURCHASERS AS IS REQUIRED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT) SHALL BE CONSIDERED GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH AGENT, or

(ii) be responsible in any manner to any Purchaser or any other Person for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower, Holdings, any Subsidiary or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Note Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Note Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Note Document, or for the creation, perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the Note Documents, or the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of any Collateral, or to make any inquiry respecting the performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder or under any other Note Document, or for any failure of the Borrower, Holdings, any Subsidiary or any other party to any Note Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent shall be under any obligation to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Note Document, or to inspect the properties, books, or records of the Borrower, Holdings, any of their Subsidiaries, or any Affiliate thereof.

-96-

(b) No Agent shall be required to use, risk, or advance its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights and powers hereunder. In no event shall any Agent be liable, directly or indirectly, for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages, even if such Agent has been advised of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any loss, including any loss of principal or interest, or for any breakage fees or penalties in connection with the purchase or liquidation of any investment made in accordance with the terms of the Note Documents.

(c) No Agent shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. No Agent shall have liability for any action taken, or errors in judgment made, in good faith by it or any of its officers, employees or agents, unless it shall have been negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce, compliance with the provisions hereof relating to an assignee other than ascertaining, inquiring into, monitoring or enforcing compliance with any list of Disqualified Institutions, a copy of which will be provided to the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Borrower and the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to determine whether any Purchaser or potential Purchaser is an eligible assignee and that the Administrative Agent shall have no liability with respect to any assignment or participation made to any Person which is not an eligible assignee.

(e) Neither any Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall be responsible for nor have any duty to monitor the performance or any action of the Note Parties, or any of their directors, members, officers, agents, affiliates or employees, nor shall it have any liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by such parties. Each Agent may assume performance by all such Persons of their respective obligations. No Agent shall have any enforcement or notification obligations relating to breaches or representations or warranties of any other Person.

(f) No Agent shall be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its control, including any act or provision of any present or future law or regulation or governmental authority; acts of God; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; terrorism; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; pandemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions; or the unavailability of the Federal Reserve Bank wire or telex or other wire or communication facility.

(g) In addition, no Agent shall have responsibility or liability (i) in connection with the acts or omissions of any Person in respect of the foregoing or (ii) for or with respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any security interest created in the Collateral or the perfection and priority of such security interest. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Notes Documents or otherwise to the contrary, no Agent shall have any obligation or duty to (i) file or prepare any financing or continuation statements or record any documents or instruments in any public office for purposes of creating, perfecting or maintaining any Lien or security interest created under the Notes Documents; (ii) take any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Collateral; or (iii) take any action to protect against any diminution in value of the Collateral.

(h) Whenever reference is made in this Agreement or any other Note Document to any discretionary action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by any Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by any Agent (except for the Agents’ ability to waive the fees set forth in Section 7.03 or in connection with such Agent’s ability to enter into any amendment to the Agent Fee Letter or any other Note Document to which it is a party when such amendment affects the rights and obligations of such Agent, each of which shall be made in such Agent’s sole discretion), it is understood that in all cases that such Agent shall not have any duty to act, and shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action, if it has not received written instruction, advice or concurrence from the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be necessary, or as such Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, to give such request or direction hereunder) in respect of such action.

Section 6.5 Default; Collateral.

(a) Upon the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, the Purchasers agree that Required Purchasers shall have the sole right to determine a course of action for the enforcement of the rights of the Purchasers, and each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action (without incurring any liability to any Person for so refraining) unless and until such Agent shall have received written instructions from the Required Purchasers. The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized (but not obligated) on behalf of the Purchasers, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Purchaser, from time to time to take any action with respect to any property, Collateral or Notes Documents which may be necessary to create, perfect and maintain perfected Liens upon the Collateral and the properties granted pursuant to the Notes Documents.

(b) No Purchaser shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Note Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In the event of a foreclosure by the Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Purchaser may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of the Purchasers (but not any Purchaser or Purchasers in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Purchasers shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Purchasers at such sale or other disposition. Each Purchaser, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Obligations, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions.

(c) No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to any Purchaser or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned (whether in fee or by leasehold) by the Person purporting to own it or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to such Agent pursuant to the Notes Documents have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced, or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights granted or available to such Agent in any of the Notes Documents.

(d) The Purchasers hereby irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent to release any Lien granted to or held by the Collateral Agent upon any Collateral.

In furtherance of the authorizations set forth in this Section, each Purchaser hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for and on behalf of and in the name of each such Purchaser (i) to enter into Notes Documents, (ii) to take action with respect to the Collateral and Notes Documents to create, perfect, maintain and preserve the Collateral Agent’s Liens therein, and (iii) to execute instruments of release or to take other action necessary to release Liens upon any Note or to release any Guarantor to the extent authorized herein or in the other Notes Documents. This power of attorney shall be liberally, not restrictively, construed so as to give the greatest latitude to the Collateral Agent’s power, as attorney, relative to the matters described in this Section. The powers and authorities herein conferred on the Collateral Agent may be exercised by the Collateral Agent through any Person who, at the time of the execution of a particular instrument, is an officer of the Collateral Agent (or any Person acting on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant to a valid power of attorney). The power of attorney conferred by this Section to the Collateral Agent is granted for valuable consideration and is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable so long as the Obligations, or any part thereof, shall remain unpaid or the Purchasers are obligated to make any advance under the Notes Documents.

-98-

Section 6.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent. Each Purchaser expressly acknowledges that the Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent, hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of, any assignment or review of the affairs of any Note Party of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Purchaser as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent has disclosed material information in its (or its Related Parties’) possession. Each Purchaser represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of its Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Note Parties and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder. Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of its Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Note Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Note Parties. Each Purchaser represents and warrants that (i) the Note Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Purchaser for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Purchaser, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Purchaser agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Purchaser represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Purchaser, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.

Each Purchaser, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement and purchasing the Notes on the Funding Date, or delivering its signature page to a joinder agreement or assignment and assumption pursuant to which it shall become a Purchaser hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Note Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the each Agent or the Purchasers on the Effective Date.

Section 6.7 Successor Agent. Each Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days’ notice to the Purchasers and Borrower. If the Administrative Agent is not performing its role hereunder as Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may be removed as the Administrative Agent hereunder at the request of the Borrower and the Required Purchasers. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation or upon such removal, the Required Purchasers shall have the right, with the Borrower’s consent (unless an Event of Default under Section 5.4(a), (e), (g) or (h) has occurred and is continuing), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Purchasers, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be an Approved Bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such Approved Bank; provided that if no successor shall have been so appointed, such retiring Agent’s resignation should nonetheless become effective on the Resignation Effective Date.

If the Person serving as an Agent is not performing its role hereunder as such Agent, the Required Purchasers and the Borrower may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to such Person remove such Person as Agent and, with the consent of the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

-99-

With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Note Documents (except (i) that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Notes Documents, the retiring or removed Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed and (ii) with respect to any outstanding payment obligations) and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or through a temporary Agent to be agreed by the Borrower and the Required Purchasers, until such time, if any, as the Required Purchasers appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent (including a temporary Agent) hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Note Documents as set forth in this Section, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Notes Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as Agent.

Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Article 6 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Note Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Note Document, this Article 6 will not create any additional Obligations or otherwise increase or alter such Obligations.

Section 6.8 Erroneous Payments

(a) Each Purchaser hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Purchaser that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Purchaser from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a “Payment”) were erroneously transmitted to such Purchaser (whether or not known to such Purchaser), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Purchaser shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Purchaser to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Purchaser shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Article 6 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Each Purchaser hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a “Payment Notice”) or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Purchaser agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Purchaser shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Purchaser to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.

(c) The Borrower and each other Note Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Purchaser that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Purchaser with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Note Party.

-100-

(d) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent provided by law, the Administrative Agent shall have the right, without prior notice to any Purchaser, any such notice being expressly waived by such Purchaser to the extent permitted by applicable law, with respect to any Erroneous Payment for which a demand has been made in accordance with this Section 6.8 and which has not been returned to the Administrative Agent, to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding trust accounts), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate, branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of such Purchaser. The Administrative Agent agrees promptly to notify the Purchaser after any such setoff and application made by Agent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

Section 6.9 Withholding Agent. To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Purchaser an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.5, each Purchaser shall indemnify the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, all Taxes and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Purchaser for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate documentation was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Purchaser failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective), whether or not such Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Purchaser by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser under this Agreement, any other Note Document or otherwise against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph. The agreements in this paragraph shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other obligations under any Note Document.

Section 6.10 Miscellaneous.

(a) Each Purchaser party to this Agreement hereby appoints the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent to act as its agent under and in connection with the relevant Security Documents.

(b) All provisions of this Article 6 applicable to the Administrative Agent shall apply to the Collateral Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to all the benefits and indemnities applicable to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

Section 7.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the respective successors of the Parties, except that (a) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights under the Note Documents without the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers, and (b) the Purchasers may sell one or more of the Notes (an “Assignment”) with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) (in each case, other than with respect to any assignment to another Purchaser, an Affiliate of a Purchaser or a related fund of a Purchaser) and/or sell a participation interest in one or more of the Notes (a “Participation”), provided, that (i) DK or its Affiliates shall hold a majority of the Notes (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of any such assignment) and (ii) no such assignment shall be made to (A) Sponsor or any Affiliate of Sponsor, (B) the Borrower or the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (C) without Borrower Agent’s consent, any Disqualified Institution. Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with any Purchaser, at such Purchaser’s request, in order to effectuate any such Assignment or Participation, in each case at the expense of such Purchaser. In the case of an Assignment, (i) each assignee shall have, to the extent of such Assignment, the rights, benefits and obligations of the assigning Purchaser as a “Purchaser” hereunder and under the other Note Documents, the assigning Purchaser shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to an Assignment, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement.

Other than (i) with respect to the initial Assignment, the amount of the Note of the assigning Purchaser subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall be in an integral multiple of $250,000, and not less than $1,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining amount of such Purchaser’s Note) and (ii) with respect to the initial Assignment, simultaneous assignments by two or more related funds shall be combined for purposes of determining whether the minimum assignment requirement is met, (y) the parties to each assignment shall (A) manually execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment or (B) if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and, in each case, shall pay to the Administrative Agent a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (which fee may be waived or reduced in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent), and (z) other than with respect to the Initial Assignment, the assignee, if it shall not be a Purchaser, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire (in which the assignee shall designate one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Note Parties and their respective Affiliates) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws), information necessary to satisfy the Administrative Agent’s “know your customer” requirements and all applicable tax forms (including a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-9 (or other applicable tax form)).

Each Purchaser that sells a Participation shall, acting solely for this purposes as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Notes or other obligations under the Note Documents (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such Participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Upon effectiveness of any Assignment of any Note in part, Borrower will promptly provide to the assignor and the assignee separate Notes in the amount of their respective interests (but, if applicable, with a notation thereon that it is given in substitution for and replacement of an original Note or any replacement thereof), and otherwise in the form of such Note, upon return of the Note then being replaced. After the effectiveness of any Assignment, the party conveying the Assignment shall provide notice to Borrower and each Purchaser of the identity and address of the assignee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after an Assignment, the assigning Purchaser (in addition to the assignee) shall continue to have the benefits of any indemnifications contained in this Agreement that such assigning Purchaser had prior to such assignment with respect to matters occurring prior to the date of such assignment. Further, any assignment by a holder of a Note shall be subject to Section 2.5. The Administrative Agent shall not keep a Participant Register.

Section 7.6 Entire Agreement. The Note Documents contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the matters covered thereby and supersede any and all other written and oral communications, negotiations, commitments and writings with respect thereto. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the Responsible Officer of each Party.

Section 7.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 7.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and by each Party on separate counterparts, each of which and any photocopies, facsimile copies or other electronic transmission (including by PDF) thereof shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 7.9 Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Note Parties in the Note Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to any Note Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Note Documents and the making of any Notes and issuance, amendment, renewal, or increase regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Purchasers may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Note or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions of Sections 1.4 and 2.5 and 6.3 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the occurrence of the Termination Date.

Section 7.10 Amendments; No Waiver.

(a) Neither the failure of, nor any delay on the part of, any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Note Document, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Note Document preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any waiver of any right, power, privilege or default under any Note Document constitute a waiver of any other right, power, privilege or default under any Note Document. No course of dealing and no delay in exercising, or omission to exercise, any right, power or remedy accruing to the Purchasers upon any default under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the action of the Purchasers in respect of any such default, or any acquiescence by it therein, affect or impair any right, power or remedy of the Purchasers in respect of any other default. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by law.

(b) Except as expressly provided herein, neither any Note Document nor any provision thereof may be waived amended or modified except, in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower, each Agent and the Required Purchasers or, in the case of any other Note Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Note Party or Note Parties that are parties thereto, in each case with the consent of the Required Purchasers, provided that no such agreement shall:

(i) increase the commitment of any Purchaser to purchase Notes without the written consent of such Purchaser (but not the Required Purchasers) (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.1 or the waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute an extension or increase of any commitment to purchase Notes of any Purchaser),

(ii) reduce the principal amount of any Note (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute a reduction or forgiveness in principal) or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Purchaser directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Purchasers), provided that only the consent of the Required Purchasers shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay default interest pursuant to Section 2.8,

-105-

(iii) postpone the maturity of any Note (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default shall not constitute an extension of any maturity date) or any date for the payment of any interest or fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, without the written consent of each Purchaser directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Purchasers),

(iv) change any of the provisions of this Section without the written consent of each Purchaser directly and adversely affected thereby (but not the Required Purchasers),

(v) lower the percentage set forth in the definition of “Required Purchasers” or any other provision of any Note Document specifying the number or percentage of Notes required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Purchaser (but not the Required Purchasers),

(vi) release all or substantially all the value of the Guarantees under the Guarantee Agreement (except as expressly provided in the Note Documents) without the written consent of each Purchaser,

(vii) release all or substantially all the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents, without the written consent of each Purchaser, except as expressly provided in the Note Documents,

(viii) change the currency in which any Note is denominated, without the written consent of each Purchaser directly affected thereby (but not the Required Purchasers),

(ix) change any of the provisions of Section 7.03 or Section 4.02 of the Collateral Agreement and/or the similar “waterfall” provisions in the other Security Documents referred to therein, without the written consent of each Purchaser directly and adversely affected thereby, or

(x) contractually subordinate the payment priority of the Obligations or the lien priority of any liens securing the Obligations without the written consent of each Purchaser, except in the case of (1) any Indebtedness expressly permitted under this Agreement (as in effect on the Funding Date) to be senior in right of payment to the Obligations or secured by a Lien on the Collateral that is senior to the Liens on the Obligations, (2) any Indebtedness for borrowed money in which the Borrowers offered the applicable Purchaser that were directly and adversely affected by such subordination at the time the applicable Indebtedness was incurred a bona fide opportunity to ratably participate in such Indebtedness on the same terms as the other Purchasers participating in such transaction (other than any customary commitment or customary backstop fee paid or payable to any Purchaser providing a financing commitment in respect of such transaction prior to offering other Purchasers an opportunity to ratably participate in such transaction) or (3) any “debtor in-possession” facility (or similar facility under applicable law);

provided, further, that (A) no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent without the prior written consent of such Agent, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any amendment of this Section, (B) any provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Purchasers to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, error, defect or inconsistency and (C) any provision of this Agreement or any other Note Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Required Purchasers to (i) increase the interest rates, fees and other amounts payable hereunder, (ii) add, increase, expand and/or extend call protection provisions and prepayment premiums benefiting any Purchaser hereunder and/or (iii) modify any other provision hereunder or under any other Note Document in a manner, as determined by the Required Purchasers in their sole discretion, more favorable to the then-existing Purchasers, in each case of this clause (C), in connection with the Additional Notes or other Indebtedness permitted hereunder, where the terms of any such Additional Notes or other Indebtedness are more favorable to the purchasers thereof than the corresponding terms applicable to other Notes then existing hereunder, and it is intended that one or more then-existing Notes under this Agreement share in the benefit of such more favorable terms in order to comply with the provisions hereof relating to the incurrence of such Additional Notes or other Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of each Agent, Required Purchasers, Holdings and the Borrower (i) to add Additional Notes from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Note Documents and (ii) to include appropriately the Purchasers holding such Notes in any determination of the Required Purchasers on substantially the same basis as the Purchasers prior to such inclusion, (b) this Agreement and other Note Documents may be amended or supplemented by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by each Agent, the Required Purchasers and Holdings, the Borrower or any Note Party as to which such agreement or agreements is to apply, to include “parallel debt” or similar provisions, and any authorizations or granting of powers by the Purchasers and the other Secured Parties in favor of the Collateral Agent, in each case required to create in favor of the Collateral Agent any security interest contemplated to be created under this Agreement, or to perfect any such security interest, where the Required Purchasers shall have been advised by its counsel that such provisions are necessary or advisable under local law for such purpose (with Holdings and the Borrower hereby agreeing to, and to cause their subsidiaries to, enter into any such agreement or agreements upon reasonable request of the Required Purchasers promptly upon such request) and (c) upon notice thereof by the Borrower to the Required Purchasers with respect to the inclusion of any previously absent financial maintenance covenant or other covenant, this Agreement shall be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Purchasers without the need to obtain the consent of any Purchaser to include any such covenant and any related equity cure provision on the date of the incurrence of the applicable Indebtedness to the extent required by the terms of such definition or section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, amendments to or waivers of guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Required Purchasers and the Borrower and may be, together with this Agreement and the other Note Documents, amended and waived with the consent of the Required Purchasers at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Purchaser if such amendment or waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Note Documents. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend any Notes Document to correct administrative errors or omissions, or to effect administrative changes that are not adverse to any Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such amendment shall become effective without any further consent of any other party to such Notes Document.

-106-

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Note Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Note Documents against the Note Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Collateral Agent in accordance with Section 5.4 for the benefit of all the Purchasers; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (x) the Purchasers or the Collateral Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Purchasers or Collateral Agent) hereunder and under the other Note Documents or (y) any Purchaser from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Note Party under any Debtor Relief Law.

Section 7.11 Indemnity.

(a) The Borrower shall, at all times, indemnify and hold each Agent and each Purchaser harmless (the “Indemnity”) and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) in connection with any losses, claims (including the reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties, or other expenses arising out of, or relating to, the Note Documents, the purchase of the Notes or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the purchase of the Notes, which an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject, but excluding Taxes (other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, liabilities or penalties arising from any non-Tax claims) (each, a “Loss”). The Indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction issues a final judgment that such Loss resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person. The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to any other agreement of Borrower under any Note Document to pay any amount to the Purchasers, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this subsection shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section hereof or under any other agreement. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, incidental, consequential (including lost profits) or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions, any Note or the use of the proceeds thereof regardless of the form of action and whether or not any such damages were foreseeable or contemplated.

-107-

(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 7.11 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Loss in respect thereof is to be made against Borrower under this Section 7.11, deliver to Borrower a written notice of the commencement thereof, and Borrower shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent Borrower so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to Borrower.

(c) Each Purchaser shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless each Agent and each of its Affiliates (the “Agent Indemnitees”), in each case, to the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to timely pay any amount required to be paid by it to any such Agent Indemnitee under clause (a) or (b) of this Section, and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so, based on and to the extent of such Purchaser’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against (i) all unreimbursed expenses of such Agent Indemnitee under clause (a) of this Section and (ii) any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (A) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any other Notes Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties thereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated thereby, (B) the use of the proceeds of the Notes, (C) the enforcement of this Agreement (including the indemnification set forth in this Section 7.11) and any other Notes Document, or (D) any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not such Agent Indemnitee is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Note Party or any of their respective Affiliates) (provided that, in each case, such indemnity shall not, as to any Agent Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non- appealable judgment to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Indemnitee), in each case, so long as the unreimbursed expense, indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent Indemnitee in its capacity as Agent (or the Affiliate of such Agent in its capacity as such).

(d) An Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the documented reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses to be paid by the Borrower, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Person, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and Borrower would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Borrower shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons. The failure of an Indemnified Person to deliver written notice to the Borrower within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Borrower of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 7.11, except to the extent that Borrower is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 7.11 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.

Section 7.12 No Usury. The Note Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Purchaser for the proceeds of the purchase of the Notes exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance the Purchasers shall ever receive anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law, that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be deemed excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Notes, or if such deemed excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Notes, such deemed excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Purchasers with respect to the Notes shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Notes until payment in full so that the deemed rate of interest on account of the Notes is uniform throughout the term thereof. The terms and provisions of this Section 7.12 shall control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement and the Notes.

-108-

Section 7.13 Several Obligations. The obligations of the Purchasers under the Note Documents shall be several and not joint.

Section 7.14 Further Assurances. From time to time, each Party shall perform any and all acts and execute and deliver to the other Party such additional documents as may be necessary or as requested by the other Party to carry out the purposes of any Note Document or to preserve and protect the rights of such other Party as contemplated therein.

Section 7.15 Release of Collateral. A Subsidiary Note Party shall automatically be released from its obligations under the Note Documents, and all security interests created by the Security Documents in Collateral owned by (and, in the case of clauses (1), (2) and (3), in each case, to the extent constituting Excluded Assets, upon the request of the Borrower, the Equity Interests of) such Subsidiary Note Party shall be automatically released, (1) upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by this Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Note Party ceases to be a Subsidiary, (2) upon the request of the Borrower, upon any Subsidiary Note Party becoming an Excluded Subsidiary in connection with a transaction permitted by this Agreement, (3) upon the Notes having been converted in full in accordance with the terms of the Notes or (4) upon the request of the Borrower, in connection with a transaction permitted under this Agreement, as a result of which such Subsidiary Note Party ceases to be a wholly-owned Subsidiary or otherwise becomes an Excluded Subsidiary; provided that such transaction (i) is made for a bona fide business purpose, (ii) is not entered into primarily for purposes of releasing the Subsidiary from any of its obligations hereunder, (iii) is in connection with a Disposition of Equity Interests of such Subsidiary, the Equity Interests are not transferred to an Affiliate of any Note Party and is for Fair Market Value. Upon (i) any sale or other transfer by any Note Party (other than to Holdings, the Borrower or any other Note Party) of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under this Agreement or (ii) the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest created under any Security Document in any Collateral or the release of any Note Party from its Guarantee under the Guarantee Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2, the security interests in such Collateral created by the Security Documents or such Guarantee shall be automatically released and the Required Purchasers (or its designee, including the Collateral Agent) shall promptly file any financing statements as reasonably requested by the Borrower (subject to the Required Purchasers’ receipt of an officer’s certificate as described below) to document such release. Upon the consummation of any seller financing arrangement permitted under this Agreement pursuant to which a seller retains security interest in the assets acquired by any Note Party as part of such seller financing arrangement that is permitted pursuant to Section 5.2(b)(xiii), to the extent and for so long as the agreements governing such seller financing do not permit any other Liens on such assets, the Lien in such assets (that are subject to such Lien under such seller financing arrangement) granted to the Collateral Agent under the Security Documents shall be automatically released, and the Collateral Agent (or its designee) shall promptly file any financing statements as reasonably requested by the Borrower (subject to the Required Purchasers’ receipt of an officer’s certificate as described below) to document such release. Upon the payment in full of all Obligations, all obligations under the Note Documents and all security interests created by the Security Documents shall be automatically released. In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section, the Required Purchasers and or the Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to any Note Party, at such Note Party’s expense, all documents that such Note Party shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release, subject to receipt of a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Purchasers or the Collateral Agent. The Purchasers and Collateral Agent will, and the Purchasers irrevocably authorize the Collateral Agent to, release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Purchasers or the Collateral Agent under any Note Document (x) to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 5.2(b)(iv), (viii)(A) or (xxii) to the extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens pursuant to documents reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent and/or (y) in accordance with this Section 7.15, in each case of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), solely in reliance upon a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower that such release is permitted under this Agreement which shall be conclusive evidence.

Each of the Purchasers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to their and their Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, members, partners, trustees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other agents and advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential and any failure of such Persons to comply with this Section 7.16 shall constitute a breach of this Section 7.16 by the Purchasers), (b) (x) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, required by applicable law or by any subpoena or similar legal process or (y) necessary in connection with the exercise of remedies; provided that, (i) in each case, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Purchaser shall notify the Borrower of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Purchaser by such governmental agency or other routine examinations of such Purchaser by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information and (ii) in the case of clause (y) only, each Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such Information is kept confidential in connection with the exercise of such remedies, and provided, further, that in no event shall any Purchaser be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by Holdings, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, (c) to any other party to this Agreement, (d) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any Swap Agreement relating to any Note Party or their Subsidiaries and its obligations under the Note Documents, (e) with the consent of the Borrower, in the case of Information provided by Holdings, the Borrower or any other Subsidiary, (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Purchasers on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Holdings or the Borrower or (g) to any ratings agency or the CUSIP Service Bureau on a confidential basis.
