WHEREAS, each of the Borrower, Innovation and Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company (successor by purchase to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as Receiver for Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, N.A. (as successor to Silicon Valley Bank), as lender and as agent thereunder, have heretofore entered into that certain 2021 Contingent Convertible Debt Agreement (as amended, supplemented and otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, “2021 Contingent Convertible Debt Agreement”);

WHEREAS, each of the Borrower, the Lenders and Agent wish refinance the aggregate amount of term loans and obligations outstanding under the 2021 Contingent Convertible Debt Agreement (the “Existing Indebtedness”) in full and terminate the 2021 Contingent Convertible Debt Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein;

WHEREAS, each Lender wishes to waive its right to receive the Call Price (as defined in the 2021 Contingent Convertible Debt Agreement) payable by Issuer pursuant to Section 1.3 of the 2021 Contingent Convertible Debt Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

LOAN AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

1.1.1

Term Loan.

(a)

Availability. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon Xxxxxxxx’s request, the Lenders, severally and not jointly, shall make one (1) Term Loan Advance on the Effective Date in an amount equal to the Term Loan Availability Amount according to each Lender’s Term Loan Commitment as set forth on Schedule II hereto (plus the PIK Amount, the “Term Loan Advance”). The borrowing of the Term Loan Advance hereunder shall be made according to the respective Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the Lenders. The parties hereto agree that the Existing Indebtedness owed to each Lender shall be repaid in full on a cashless dollar-for-dollar basis with the proceeds of the Term Loan Advance made on the Effective Date in the amounts set forth opposite such Xxxxxx’s name on Schedule II.

(b)

Repayment. All outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest under the Term Loan Advance, and all other outstanding Obligations with respect to the Term Loan Advance (including the PIK Amount), are due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

(c)

Permitted Prepayment. Borrower shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loan Advance pursuant to Section 1.3 below.

(d)

Mandatory Prepayment Upon an Acceleration. If the Term Loan Advance is accelerated by Agent following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall immediately pay to Agent, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to the sum of (i) all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loan Advance (including the PIK Amount), and (ii) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable with respect to the Term Loan Advance (including the PIK Amount), including Lenders’ Expenses and interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

1.2

Contingent Convertibility. Unless repaid pursuant to Section 1.1.1, the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Advance (including, without limitation, the PIK Amount) and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (i) may be converted in whole or in part into shares of Common Stock, at any time and from time to time at the election of a Conversion Right Holder in its sole discretion and without obligation to do so, (a “Voluntary Conversion”), and (ii) shall automatically be converted in whole into shares of Common Stock upon the Price Event (a “Mandatory Conversion”), in any case in accordance with this Section 1.2.

(a)

Conversion.

(i)

Voluntary Conversion. Upon a Voluntary Conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock issued to each Conversion Right Holder who has delivered a Conversion Notice (as defined below) shall equal (A) the amount of Associated Debt such Conversion Right Holder elects to convert, divided by (B) the Conversion Price.

(ii)

Mandatory Conversion. Upon a Mandatory Conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock issued to each Conversion Right Holder shall equal (A) the total amount of such Conversion Right Holder’s Associated Debt, divided by (B) the Conversion Price.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.2(a), if the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable pursuant to this Section 1.2(a) to settle any conversion is not a whole number, then such number will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and the Issuer will deliver, in addition to the shares of Common Stock due upon such conversion, cash in lieu of the related fractional share in an amount equal to the product of (1) such fraction and (2) the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of the related Conversion Notice (which fair market value will, in the event the Common Stock is then listed on an national securities exchange, be the closing price per share of Common Stock).

(b)

Mechanics of Conversion. In order to effect a Voluntary Conversion of Associated Debt hereunder, a Conversion Right Holder shall deliver a conversion notice to the Issuer (and, if the Issuer is not Borrower, to Borrower) in substantially the form of Exhibit D-1 hereto (a “Conversion Notice”). Any such Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable by the Conversion Right Holder unless the Issuer breaches its obligation to issue the Conversion Shares as and when required hereunder. Subject to the foregoing sentence, the conversion of the Associated Debt set forth in a Conversion Notice into Conversion Shares in the case of a Voluntary Conversion, or the conversion of Associated Debt into Conversion Shares in the case of a Mandatory Conversion, and the issuance of such Conversion Shares to and in the name(s) of the applicable Conversion Rights Holders (or such other recipient(s) as any such Conversion Right Holder shall have designated in writing to the Issuer prior to the date of such conversion of the Associated Debt into Conversion Shares), shall be deemed effective at the close of business on and as of the date of delivery to the Issuer of such Conversion Notice in the case of a Voluntary Conversion or the date of the Price Event in the case of a Mandatory Conversion, as applicable, notwithstanding that one or more paper, digital or electronic certificates evidencing such Conversion Shares may not be delivered to such recipients until after such date.

(c)

Status of Conversion Shares. All Conversion Shares, when issued by the Issuer hereunder, shall be duly and validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all claims, liens and encumbrances whatsoever, except for (i) restrictions on transfer that may arise under applicable federal and/or state securities laws, and (ii) claims, liens or encumbrances created or assumed by the Conversion Right Holder, any recipient of such Conversion Shares designated in the related Conversion Notice, or the holder of the applicable Associated Debt. Not later than the third (3rd) business day following the delivery of a Conversion Notice for the conversion of any Associated Debt hereunder, the Issuer shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, deliver a duly issued, executed or otherwise authenticated certificate or other evidence of the issuance of such Conversion Shares, in such form as it

issues to other holders of Common Stock, to and in the name of each converting Conversion Right Holder (or other recipient(s) as shall have been designated by such Conversion Right Holder in writing prior to the date of such conversion of the Associated Debt into Conversion Shares) evidencing the number of Conversion Shares such Conversion Right Holder or other recipient is entitled to receive.

(d)

Registration Rights. The Conversion Right Holders shall have the registration rights with respect to the Conversion Shares set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

(e)

Costs of Conversion. All reasonable and documented, out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements, but excluding any taxes payable by the Conversion Right Holder, holder of Associated Debt and any recipient of Conversion Shares designated by the Conversion Right Holder) of a Conversion Right Holder, holder of Associated Debt and any recipient of Conversion Shares designated by the Conversion Right Holder in accordance with the terms hereof and in connection with any conversion of Associated Debt hereunder shall be paid or reimbursed on demand by the Issuer.

(f)

Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to the last paragraph of this Section 1.2(f), no shares of Common Stock will be issued or delivered upon conversion of any Associated Debt, and no Associated Debt will be convertible by any Conversion Right Holder, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such issuance, delivery, conversion or convertibility would result in such Conversion Right Holder, or a “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) that includes such Conversion Right Holder, beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% (the “Ownership Percentage”) of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that with respect to any Conversion Right Holder that is subject to Section 16(a) or (b) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Issuer by virtue of being deemed to be a “director” or “officer” of the Issuer within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the applicable Ownership Percentage shall be 19.99% (the restrictions set forth in this sentence, the “Ownership Limitation”). For these purposes, beneficial ownership and calculations of percentage ownership will be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.

For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations on the convertibility of any Associated Debt pursuant to this Section 1.2(f) will not, in themselves, cause any Associated Debt to cease to be outstanding (and interest will continue to accrue on any Associated Debt that has been tendered for conversion and whose convertibility is suspended pursuant to this Section 1.2(f)), and such limitations will cease to apply if and when such Associated Debt’s convertibility and conversion will not violate this Section 1.2(f).

A Conversion Right Holder may, by written notice to the Issuer, elect to change the Ownership Percentage that applies to such Conversion Right Holder to any percentage that is less than 20%; provided, however, that such notice will not be effective (and the Ownership Limitation will not cease to apply or be reduced as to such beneficial owner) until the sixty first (61st) calendar day after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Issuer.

Upon the occurrence of a Common Stock Change Event (as defined below), (i) the Ownership Limitation will thereafter apply as if each reference to “Common Stock” in this Section 1.2(f) were instead a reference to the common equity (including depositary receipts representing common equity), if any, forming part of the Reference Property (as defined below) of such Common Stock Change Event; and (ii) if such Reference Property includes no such common equity or depositary receipts, then the Ownership Limitation will thereafter cease to apply.

(g)

Promissory Note. In connection with the conversion of any Associated Debt hereunder, to the extent that any such Associated Debt is evidenced by an outstanding promissory note of the Issuer, each converting Conversion Right Holder shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such promissory note to the Issuer and, if the principal amount of such Associated Debt is less than the principal amount of such promissory note, the Issuer shall upon any Conversion Right Holder’s written request promptly issue to such Conversion Right Holder (or, if such Conversion Right Holder is the permitted assignee of a Lender, to such Lender), a promissory note of like tenor representing the balance of the principal amount not so converted.

(h)

Status of Converted Debt. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to Section 1.2(f), upon the effectiveness of the conversion of any Associated Debt pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.2, such Associated Debt will automatically be deemed to have been paid in full and no longer outstanding.

(i)

Effect of Common Stock Change Event. If there occurs any:

(A) recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than (x) changes solely resulting from a subdivision or combination of the Common Stock, (y) a change only in par value or from par value to no par value or no par value to par value and (z) stock splits and stock combinations that do not involve the issuance of any other series or class of securities);

(B) consolidation, merger, combination or binding or statutory share exchange involving the Issuer;

(C) sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to any Person; or

(D) other similar event,

and, as a result of which, the Common Stock is converted into, or is exchanged for, or represents solely the right to receive, other securities, cash or other property, or any combination of the foregoing (such an event, a “Common Stock Change Event,” and such other securities, cash or property, the “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one (1) share of Common Stock would be entitled to receive on account of such Common Stock Change Event (without giving effect to any arrangement not to issue or deliver a fractional portion of any security or other property), a “Reference Property Unit”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after the effective time of such Common Stock Change Event, (I) the consideration due upon conversion of any Associated Debt will be determined in the same manner as if each reference to any number of shares of Common Stock in Agreement were instead a reference to the same number of Reference Property Units; and (II) for purposes of the provisions relating to Mandatory Conversion, the reference to the “closing price per share of Common Stock” in the definition of Price Event will instead be deemed to be a reference to the “closing price or fair market value per Reference Property Unit.”

1.3

Issuer Call Right.

(a)

Call Right. The Issuer will have the right (the “Call Right”), but not the obligation), to repay and retire all (but not less than all) of the Term Loan Advance (including principal (including, without limitation, the PIK Amount) plus accrued and unpaid interest) by paying to Agent, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, an amount (the “Call Price”) equal to (i) if such Issuer repayment is consummated on or before June 22, 2023, one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the outstanding (as of the date of the Call Notice) principal balance (including, without limitation, the PIK Amount) of the Term Loan Advance, or (ii) if such Issuer repayment is consummated after June 22, 2023, one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the outstanding (as of the date of the Call Notice) principal balance (including, without limitation, the PIK Amount) of the Term Loan Advance, in either case together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Term Loan Advance to the date of repayment; provided, however, that the Issuer will not exercise the Call Right at any time when the Liquidity Conditions are not satisfied. Associated Debt as to which a Call Right is exercised can be converted pursuant to a Voluntary Conversion by delivery of a Conversion Notice with respect thereto at any time before the date of the Call Closing.

(b)

Exercise and Payment. The Issuer shall exercise the Call Right (if at all) by written notice to the Agent (the “Call Notice”), which Call Notice shall specify a date (the “Call Closing”), not more than thirty (30) nor less than fifteen (15) days from the date of such Call Notice, on which the Issuer shall pay the Call Price to the Agent. At the Call Closing, the Issuer shall pay the Call Price in a single installment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Agent. The Call Notice may be revoked in writing by the Issuer within forty-eight (48) hours following delivery thereof to the Agent.

(c)

Look-Back. Notwithstanding the foregoing definition of Call Price, if (i) the Issuer exercises its Call Right, and (ii) on or before the end of the Lookback Period, the Issuer shall enter or shall have entered into an agreement, commitment, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or the like, binding or non-binding, with a third party respecting an Acquisition and such Acquisition is subsequently consummated, if the aggregate gross proceeds that would be payable to all Conversion Right Holders in connection with such Acquisition had (A) the Issuer not so exercised such Call Right, and (B) all Conversion Right Holders exercised, in connection with such Acquisition and as of immediately prior to the consummation thereof, their respective Conversion Rights as to all Associated Debt outstanding as of immediately prior to the Issuer’s exercise of such Call Right, then the Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid to Agent, for the account of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares, as additional Call Price, the difference between (x) such proceeds as would have been payable to all Conversion Right Holders in connection with such Acquisition, and (y) such Call Price actually paid to the Agent by the Issuer; and such payment of such difference shall be made to Agent as and when payments of the consideration in such Acquisition are made to the holders of outstanding Common Stock.

1.4

Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(a)

Interest Payments. Interest on the principal amount of the Term Loan Advance is payable as set forth on Schedule I hereto.

(b)

Interest Rate.

(i)

Term Loan Advance. Subject to Section 1.4(c), the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Advance shall accrue interest as set forth on Schedule I hereto.

(ii)

All-In Rate. Notwithstanding any terms in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Obligations is less than zero percent (0.0%), such interest rate shall be deemed to be zero percent (0.0%) for all purposes of this Agreement.

(c)

Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is three percent (3.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Lenders’ Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 1.4(c) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Agent or any Lender.

(d)

Adjustment to Interest Rate. Each change in the interest rate applicable to any amounts payable under the Loan Documents based on changes to the Prime Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Prime Rate and to the extent of such change.

(e)

Interest Computation. Interest shall be computed as set forth on Schedule I hereto. In computing interest, the date of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension.

1.5

Fees. Borrower shall pay to Agent:

(a)

Lenders’ Expenses. All Lenders’ Expenses incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due (or, if no stated due date, upon demand by Agent).

Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in a separate writing by Agent, Xxxxxxxx shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate, or repayment of any fees earned by Agent or any Lender pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the suspension or termination of any Lender’s obligation to

make loans and advances hereunder. Agent may deduct amounts owing by Borrower under the clauses of this Section 1.5 pursuant to the terms of Section 1.6(c). Agent shall provide Borrower written notice of deductions made pursuant to the terms of the clauses of this Section 1.5.

1.6

Payments; Pro Rata Treatment; Application of Payments; Debit of Accounts.

(a)

All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made to Agent for the account of Lenders, in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff, counterclaim, or deduction before 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the date when due. Agent shall distribute such payments to Lenders in like funds as set forth in Section 1.6. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.

(b)

If Agent receives any payment for the account of Lenders on or prior to 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on any Business Day, Agent shall pay to each applicable Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment on such Business Day. If Agent receives any payment for the account of Lenders after 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on any Business Day, Agent shall pay to each applicable Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment on the next Business Day.

(c)

Except as otherwise provided herein, each payment (including each prepayment) by Borrower on account of principal or interest on each such Credit Extension shall be applied according to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Credit Extensions. The amount of each principal prepayment of the Credit Extensions shall be applied to reduce the then remaining installments of the Credit Extensions based upon each Pro Rata Share of such Credit Extension.

(d)

Agent has the exclusive right to determine the order and manner in which all payments with respect to the Obligations may be applied. Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Agent shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower to Agent or otherwise received by Agent or any Lender under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.

(e)

Agent may debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal (including the PIK Amount) and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes Agent or any Lender when due under the Loan Documents. These debits shall not constitute a set-off.

(f)

Unless Agent shall have been notified in writing by Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by Borrower hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment to Agent, Agent may assume that Borrower is making such payment, and Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Lenders their respective Pro Rata Share of a corresponding payment amount. If such payment is not made to Agent by Borrower within three (3) Business Days after such due date, Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of Agent or any Lender against Xxxxxxxx.

(g)

The obligations of Lenders hereunder to make Credit Extensions and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.9 are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Credit Extension or make any such payment on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Credit Extension or make any such payment under Section 9.9.

(h)

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Credit Extensions resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Credit Extensions, as the case may be, and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion

shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Credit Extensions of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Credit Extensions; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Commitments to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower. Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

1.7

Change in Circumstances.

(a)

Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall: (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender, (ii) subject any Lender or Agent to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitment, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or (iii) impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Credit Extensions made by such Lender, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or Agent, as applicable, of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Credit Extension (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Credit Extension), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or Agent, as applicable, hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender or Agent, as applicable, Borrower shall promptly pay to Agent or such Lender, as applicable, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Agent, as applicable, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)

Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such ’Lender’s capital as a consequence of this Agreement, any term loan facility, or the Credit Extensions made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or its holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender or such Lender’s holding company such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)

Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or Agent setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or Agent or its holding company, as applicable, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or Agent, as applicable, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d)

Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 1.7 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender pursuant to subsection (a) for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine (9) month period shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect).

1.8

Taxes.

(a)

Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Borrower) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Borrower, then (i) Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, (ii) Borrower shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 1.8) each affected Lender or Agent, as applicable, receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)

Payment of Other Taxes by Xxxxxxxx. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.

(c)

Tax Indemnification. Without limiting the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) above, Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 1.8) payable or paid by the Lenders or Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lenders or Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent) or by Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)

Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Xxxxxxxx to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 1.8, Borrower shall deliver to Agent a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

(e)

Status of Lenders. If any Lender (including any assignee or successor) is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, it shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Lender to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent whichever of IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8ECI or W-8IMY is applicable, as well as any applicable supporting documentation or certifications.

1.9

Settlement Procedures. If Agent receives any payment for the account of Lenders on or prior to 12:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on any Business Day, Agent shall pay to each applicable Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment on such Business Day. If Agent receives any payment for the account of Lenders after 12:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on any Business Day, Agent shall pay to each applicable Lender such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment on the next Business Day.

1.10

Procedures for Borrowing.

(a)

Subject to the prior satisfaction of all other applicable conditions to the making of a Credit Extension set forth in this Agreement (which must be satisfied no later than 12:00 p.m. Pacific time on the applicable Funding Date), to obtain such Credit Extension, Borrower shall notify Agent (which notice shall be irrevocable) by 12:00 p.m. Pacific time at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date of such Credit Extension. Such notice shall be made by electronic mail or by telephone and, together with any such notification, Borrower shall deliver to Agent by electronic mail a completed Disbursement Letter (and Payment/Advance Form) executed by an Authorized Signer and such other reports and information as Agent may reasonably request. Agent may rely on any telephone notice given by a person whom Agent believes is an Authorized Signer. Borrower will indemnify Agent

for any loss Agent suffers due to such belief or reliance. Agent shall have received satisfactory evidence that the Board has approved that such Authorized Signer may provide such notices and request such Credit Extension (which requirement may be deemed satisfied by the prior delivery of Borrowing Resolutions or a secretary’s certificate that certifies as to such Board approval).

(b)

In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Credit Extension that, by its terms, must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Credit Extension. Unless Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the date of any Credit Extension, that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to Agent, Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to Agent, and Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount.

CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

3.1

Grant of Security Interest.

(a)

Borrower hereby grants Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. For clarity, any reference to “Agent’s Lien” or any granting of Collateral to Agent in this Agreement or any Loan Document means the Lien granted to Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders.

(b)

Borrower acknowledges that it previously has entered, or may in the future enter, into Bank Services Agreements with FCB. Regardless of the terms of any Bank Services Agreement, Xxxxxxxx agrees that any amounts Borrower owes FCB thereunder shall be deemed to be Obligations hereunder and that it is the intent of Borrower and Bank to have all such Obligations secured by the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted herein (subject to Permitted Liens).

3.2

Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all jurisdictions deemed necessary or appropriate by Agent to perfect or protect Agent’s and Xxxxxxx’ interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of Agent

under the Code, as applicable. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect.

3.3

Termination. If this Agreement is terminated, Agent’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity or other obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of this Agreement) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity or other obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of this Agreement) and at such time as Lenders’ obligation to make Credit Extensions has terminated, Agent shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, terminate its security interest in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower and Agent shall take such actions as may be reasonably requested by Borrower to evidence such repayment and release (including delivery of a payoff letter and filing of UCC-3 termination statements (or authorizing Borrower to file such UCC-3 termination statements)) and all of Borrower’s obligations pursuant to Sections 5 and 6 herein shall terminate. In the event (a) all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations or other obligations which, by their terms, survive termination of this Agreement), except for Bank Services, are satisfied in full, and (b) this Agreement is terminated, Bank shall terminate the security interest granted herein upon Borrower providing cash collateral acceptable to Bank in its commercially reasonable discretion for Bank Services, if any. In the event such Bank Services consist of outstanding Letters of Credit, Borrower shall provide to Agent, cash collateral in an amount equal to at least (x) 105.0% of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and (y) 110.0% of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, plus, in each case, all interest, fees, and costs due or estimated by Agent to become due in connection therewith, to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit.

Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, (a) exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (i) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks, payment instruments, or other forms of payment or security; (ii) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (iii) demand, collect, sue, and give releases to any Account Debtor for monies due, settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, and compromise, prosecute, or defend any action, claim, case, or proceeding about any Collateral (including filing a claim or voting a claim in any bankruptcy case in Agent’s or Xxxxxxxx’s name, as Agent chooses); (iv) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Xxxxxxxx’s insurance policies; (v) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, or other claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (vi) transfer the Collateral into the name of Agent or a third party as the Code permits; and (b) regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred, to sign Xxxxxxxx’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. Agent’s foregoing appointment as Xxxxxxxx’s attorney in fact, and all of Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until such time as all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been satisfied in full, Agent is under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions and the Loan Documents have been terminated. Agent shall not incur any liability in connection with or arising from the exercise of such power of attorney and shall have no obligation to exercise any of the foregoing rights and remedies

8.3

Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 5.6 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, Agent may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Agent are Lenders’ Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of Agent obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Agent’s or and Xxxxxxx’ waiver of any Event of Default.

8.4

Application of Payments and Proceeds. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent may apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Xxxxxxxx shall remain liable to Agent and the Lenders for any deficiency. If Agent, in its commercially reasonable discretion, directly or indirectly, enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Agent shall have the option, exercisable at any time, of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Agent of cash therefor.

8.5

Agent’s Liability for Collateral. Agent’s and Xxxxxx’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession or under its control, under Section 9-207 of the Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Agent and Lenders deal with their own property consisting of similar instruments or interests. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

8.6

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

8.7

Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Agent on which Borrower is liable.

Agent

9.1

Appointment and Authority.

(a)

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints FCB to act on its behalf as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature.

(b)

The provisions of this Section 9 are solely for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, and Borrower shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities to any Lender or any other Person, except those expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent.

9.2

Delegation of Duties. Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Agent. Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Indemnified Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 9.2 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Indemnified Persons of 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. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

9.3

Exculpatory Provisions. Agent shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall not:

(a)

be subject to any fiduciary, trust, agency or other similar duties, regardless of whether any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)

have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Lenders, as applicable; provided that Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and

(c)

except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and Agent shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Person serving as Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders, (ii) or as Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.6 or (iii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any

condition set forth in Section 2 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Agent.

9.4

Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Xxxxxxxx), 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. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Credit Extension that, by its terms, must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Credit Extension. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Lenders, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon Lenders and all future holders of the Credit Extensions.

9.5

Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default, unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent receives such a notice, Agent shall give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Lenders.

9.6

Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Group Member or any Affiliate of a Group Member, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Group Members and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Credit Extensions hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Group Members and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Agent hereunder, Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Group Member or any Affiliate of a Group Member that may come into the possession of Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or Affiliates.

9.7

Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to indemnify Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so in accordance with the terms hereof, according to its Term Loan Commitment Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 9.7 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Commitments shall have terminated and the Obligations shall have been paid in full, in accordance with its Term Loan Commitment Percentage immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Credit Extensions) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction

to have resulted primarily from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Credit Extensions and all other amounts payable hereunder.

9.8

Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Person serving as Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each such Person serving as Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders.

9.9

Successor Agent. Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx, which resignation shall not be effective until the time at which the majority of the Lenders have delivered to Agent their written consent to such resignation. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Xxxxxxxx, to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent has received the written consent of the majority of the Lenders to such resignation, then the retiring Agent may on behalf of Xxxxxxx, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Agent be a Defaulting Lender and provided further that if the retiring Agent shall notify Borrower and Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed and such collateral security is assigned to such successor Agent) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section 9.9. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 9.9). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 9 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Indemnified Persons in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent.

9.10

Actions by Agent. In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to the Borrower under any federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Credit Extension shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)

to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Credit Extensions and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Agent allowed in such judicial proceeding;

(b)

to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and

(c)

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders to pay to the Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Agent, under the Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization,

arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

9.11

Register. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Xxxxxxxx, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment(s) of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

9.12

Defaulting Lender.

(a)

Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Xxxxxx’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as long as said Lender is a Defaulting Lender.

(ii) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 7 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.10), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Credit Extension in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, if so determined by the Agent and Borrower, to be held in a Deposit Account and released pro rata to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to each Credit Extension under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of each Credit Extension in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) each Credit Extension was made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 2.1 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Credit Extensions of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of the Credit Extensions of such Defaulting Lender until such time as the Credit Extensions are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Credit Extensions under this Agreement. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 9.12(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 1.6 for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(b)

Defaulting Lender Cure. If Xxxxxxxx and Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion

of outstanding Credit Extension of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Credit Extension to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitment Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Xxxxxx having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)

Termination of Defaulting Lender. Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Term Loan Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than 10 Business Days’ prior notice to Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 9.12(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim Borrower, Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

(d)

If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the non-Defaulting Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Agent and, in consultation with Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the non-Defaulting Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the non-Defaulting Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

9.13

Erroneous Payments.

(a) If Agent notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender, or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Agent in same day funds at a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from 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, prepayment or repayment sent by Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made

(in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(ii) such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying Agent pursuant to this Section 9.13(b).

Each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to Agent under clause (a) hereof or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by Agent in accordance with clause (a) hereof, from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Term Loan Advances (but not its Commitments), depending on whether such Erroneous Payment was made with respect to the Term Loan Advances (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Term Loan Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (ii) Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender , as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender , as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Term Loan Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Term Loan Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Term Loan Advance (or portion thereof), and Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender, and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that Agent has sold a Term Loan Advance (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether Agent may be equitably subrogated, Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”).

The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by Agent from Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 9.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the

termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

NOTICES

All notices, consents, requests, approvals, demands, or other communication by any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given, or delivered: (a) upon the earlier of actual receipt and three (3) Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class, registered or certified mail return receipt requested, with proper postage prepaid; (b) upon transmission, when sent by electronic mail; (c) one (1) Business Day after deposit with a reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid; or (d) when delivered, if hand-delivered by messenger, all of which shall be addressed to the party to be notified and sent to the address or email address indicated below; provided that, for clause (b), if such notice, consent, request, approval, demand or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, it shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day of the recipient.

CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE and JURY TRIAL WAIVER; JUDICIAL REFERENCE

Except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, California law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Borrower, Agent and Lenders each irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in Santa Clara County, California; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Agent or Lenders from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction with respect to the Loan Documents or to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Agent or any Lender. Borrower expressly, irrevocably and unconditionally submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Borrower hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to Borrower at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by Borrower in accordance with, Section 10 of this Agreement and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Borrower’s actual receipt thereof or 3 days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

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

WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, if the above waiver of the right to a trial by jury is not enforceable, the parties hereto agree that any and all disputes or controversies of any nature between them arising at any time shall be decided by a reference to a private judge, mutually selected by the parties (or, if they cannot agree, by the Presiding Judge of the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court) appointed in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 (or pursuant to comparable provisions of federal law if the dispute falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts), sitting without a jury, in Santa Clara County, California; and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of such court. The reference proceedings shall be conducted pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 638 through 645.1, inclusive. The private judge shall have the power, among others, to grant provisional relief, including without limitation, entering temporary restraining orders, issuing preliminary and permanent injunctions and appointing receivers. All such proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall be permanently sealed. If during the course of any dispute, a party desires to seek provisional relief, but a judge has not been appointed at that point pursuant to the judicial reference procedures, then such party may apply to the Santa Clara County, California Superior Court for such relief. The proceeding before the private judge shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of evidence applicable to judicial proceedings. The parties shall be entitled to discovery which shall be conducted in the same manner as it would be before a court under the rules of discovery applicable to judicial proceedings. The private judge shall oversee discovery and may enforce all discovery rules and orders applicable to

judicial proceedings in the same manner as a trial court judge. The parties agree that the selected or appointed private judge shall have the power to decide all issues in the action or proceeding, whether of fact or of law, and shall report a statement of decision thereon pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 644(a). Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of any party at any time to exercise self-help remedies, foreclose against collateral, or obtain provisional remedies. The private judge shall also determine all issues relating to the applicability, interpretation, and enforceability of this paragraph.

This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Obligations.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1

Termination Prior to Maturity Date; Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been satisfied.

Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination and the repayment of all Obligations shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination and the repayment of all Obligations.

12.2

Successors and Assigns.

(a)

This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Agent’s and each Lender’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in Agent’s sole discretion subject to the Lender Intercreditor Agreement) and any other attempted assignment or transfer by Borrower shall be null and void. Agent and each Lender has the right, without the consent of or notice to Borrower, to sell, “transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, such Lender’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Agent and the Lenders shall not assign its interest in the Loan Documents to any Person who in the reasonable estimation of Agent is (a) a direct competitor or Borrower, whether as an operating company or direct or indirect parent with voting control over such operating company or (b) a vulture fund or distressed debt fund.

(b)

Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption as to which Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, the assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (c) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (c) of this Section, Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee is a Defaulting Lender, Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)

Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”), in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments made by it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) Borrower, Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver

of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) the first proviso to Section 9.3(c) that affects such Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Xxxxxxxx, 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 Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Term Loan Advances, Advances or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Advance, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)

Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

12.3

Indemnification.

(a)

General Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Agent, each Lender and its Affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, administrators, managers, advisors and representatives of Agent, each Lender and its Affiliates (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (i) all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including Lenders’ Expenses and the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnified Person) (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Credit Extension or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of hazardous materials on or from any property owned or operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any environmental liability related in any way to Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Xxxxxxxx, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Person, 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 nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. All amounts due under this Section 12.3 shall be payable promptly after demand therefor.

(b)

Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnified Person, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) or any loss of profits arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Credit Extension, or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(c)

Judgment Currency; Currency Indemnification. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of Borrower with respect to any such sum due from it to Agent and the Lenders hereunder or

under any other Loan Document shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by Agent or the Lenders of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, Agent may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to Agent and/or the Lenders from Borrower in the Agreement Currency, Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify Agent and the Lenders against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to Agent and/or the Lenders in such currency, Agent and Lenders agree to return the amount of any excess to Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under Applicable Law).

This Section 12.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Obligations until all statutes of limitation with respect to the Claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is given shall have run.

12.4

Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.

12.5

Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision.

12.6

Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, or release, or subordinate Lenders’ security interest in, or consent to the transfer of, any Collateral shall be enforceable or admissible unless, and only to the extent, expressly set forth in a writing signed by Agent, with the consent of the Lenders in accordance with the Lender Intercreditor Agreement or, if such item is not addressed in the Lender Intercreditor Agreement, as consented to by a majority of the Lenders, and Xxxxxxxx. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents.
