Transaction Financing The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain a commitment letter (the “Transaction Financing Commitment Letter”), from a reputable financial institution to provide financing for the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby on commercially reasonable terms and conditions.
Debt Financing Parent has delivered to the Company true, correct and complete copies of executed commitment letter(s) (as the same may be amended, the “Debt Financing Commitments”), as set forth in Section 4.5 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, pursuant to which the lender parties thereto have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to provide or cause to be provided the debt amounts set forth therein (the “Debt Financing”). As of the date of this Agreement, except as permitted by this Agreement, none of the Debt Financing Commitments has been amended or modified, and the respective commitments contained in the Debt Financing Commitments have not been withdrawn or rescinded. As of the date of this Agreement, the Debt Financing Commitments are in full force and effect. There are no conditions precedent to the funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing, other than as set forth in the Debt Financing Commitments. The aggregate proceeds contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments, if obtained, together with the available cash of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub on the Closing Date, will be sufficient for Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Merger upon the terms contemplated by this Agreement, and to pay all related fees and expenses associated therewith, including payment of all amounts under Article II of this Agreement. Neither Parent nor Merger Sub has any reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any term or condition to be satisfied by it contained in the Debt Financing Commitments. Parent has fully paid any and all commitment fees that have been incurred and are due to be paid in connection with the Debt Financing Commitments, and Parent will pay when due all other commitment fees arising under the Debt Financing Commitments as and when they become payable. As of the date of this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub have no contracts, arrangements or understandings with any Person concerning the contributions to be made to Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than as set forth in the Debt Financing Commitments, nor any contracts or non-binding arrangements or understandings with any Person concerning the ownership and operation of Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation.
Purchaser Financing Purchaser assumes full responsibility to obtain the funds required for settlement, and Purchaser’s acquisition of such funds shall not be a contingency to the Closing.

Financing or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements or the performance of any services thereunder, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise (in each case, other SiriusXM and its Subsidiaries), and hereby waives any rights or claims against any Debt Financing Source Related Party, in each case, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Financing or the Alternative Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter, any of the agreements entered into in connection with the Financing or the Alternative Financing or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements or the performance of any services thereunder, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise

Alternative Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter, any definitive agreement with respect to the Financing or the Alternative Financing entered into on the Closing Date or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements or the performance of any services thereunder), (viii) agrees that SiriusXM may assign its rights and obligations hereunder (while

Financing Arrangements (a) The Owner will obtain the Project Loan which shall be sufficient, together with the Owner's equity contributions, to pay the full amount of the costs to construct the Project in accordance with the development budget. The Owner and the Developer also contemplate that the Property and the Project, together with all fixtures, furnishing, equipment, and articles of personal property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Owner which are or may be attached to or used in connection with the Property or the Project, together with any and all replacements thereto and substitutions therefor, and all proceeds thereof; and all present and future rents, issues, leases, and profits of the Property and the Project will serve as security for the payment obligations to any lenders relating to the Project Loan or otherwise, and that the Owner will be the principal obligor for the repayment of all financial obligations thereunder after the transfer of title to the Owner. The Owner therefore, agrees to execute and deliver all commitments, promissory notes, mortgages, collateral assignments, documents, certificates, affidavits, and other writings required to be executed by any lender in connection with such financing.
No Financing Condition Parent and Merger Sub each acknowledge and agree that obtaining the Debt Financing is not a condition to the Closing.
