sentence of this clause (i), and any Default, Event of Default or specified Default or Event of Default, as applicable, other than an LCT Blocking Default, occurs following the date (x) a definitive agreement for the applicable Limited Condition Transaction was entered into, or (y) irrevocable notice of redemption, repurchase, defeasance, satisfaction and discharge or repayment of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is given and prior to the consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such Default, Event of Default or specified Default or Event of Default, as applicable, other than an LCT Blocking Default, shall be deemed to not have occurred or be continuing for purposes of determining whether any action being taken in connection with such Limited Condition Transaction is permitted hereunder.

For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios, baskets or amounts for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio, basket or amount, including due to fluctuations in exchange rates or in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower or the Person subject to such Limited Condition Transaction or any applicable currency exchange rate, at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or

action, such ratios, baskets or amounts will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations.

3.10 Requirements of Law.

(a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof applicable to the Lender, or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case made subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date on which the Lender becomes a Lender):

(i) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of the Lender; or

(ii) shall impose on the Lender any other condition (excluding any tax of any kind whatsoever);

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender, by an amount which the Lender deems to be material, then, in any such case, upon written notice to the Borrower from the Lender, in accordance herewith, the Borrower shall promptly pay the Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount. If the Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection 3.10, it shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Borrower, certifying (x) that one of the events

described in this paragraph (a) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the increased cost or reduced amount resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount demanded by the Lender and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection 3.10 submitted by the Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 3.10(a), the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.10 for any amounts, if the Lender is applying this provision to the Borrower in a manner that is inconsistent with its application of “increased cost” or other similar provisions under other syndicated credit agreements to similarly situated borrowers. This subsection 3.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) If the Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or liquidity or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by the Lender or any corporation controlling the Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy or liquidity (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority, in each case, made subsequent to the Closing Date, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of the Lender’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Lender to be material, then from time to time, within ten Business Days after submission by the Lender to the Borrower of a written request therefor certifying (x) that one of the events described in this paragraph (b) has occurred and describing in reasonable detail the nature of such event, (y) as to the reduction of the rate of return on capital resulting from such event and (z) as to the additional amount or amounts demanded by the Lender or corporation and a reasonably detailed explanation of the calculation thereof, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or corporation for such reduction. Such a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection 3.10 submitted by the Lender to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection 3.10(b), the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this subsection 3.10(b), (i) for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Borrower of the Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor or (ii) for any amounts, if the Lender is applying this provision to the Borrower in a manner that is inconsistent with its application of “increased cost” or other similar provisions under other syndicated credit agreements to similarly situated borrowers. This subsection 3.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and all requests, rules, regulations, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder or issued in connection therewith, and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, in each case shall be deemed to have been enacted, adopted or issued, as applicable, subsequent to the Closing Date for all purposes herein.

3.11 Taxes.

(a) Except as provided below in this subsection 3.11 or as required by law (which term shall include FATCA), all payments made by the Borrower and any other Loan Parties under this Agreement and any Notes shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes; provided that if any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by the Borrower or the other Loan Parties to the Lender hereunder or under any Notes, the amounts so payable by the Borrower or the relevant Loan Parties shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Borrower shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, and the Borrower shall not be required to indemnify for, any Non-Excluded Taxes, and any such amounts payable by the Borrower to or for the account of the Lender shall not be increased (x) if the Lender fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b), (c) or (d) of this subsection 3.11, (y) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed in connection with the payment of any fees paid under this Agreement, unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed (1) as a result of a change in treaty, law or regulation that occurred after the Lender became a Lender hereunder (or, if the Lender is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, after the relevant beneficiary or member of the Lender became such a beneficiary or member, if later) (any such change, at such time, a “Change in Law”) or (2) on a Person that is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective except as provided in subsection 10.6(b), or (z) with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, unless such Non-Excluded Taxes are imposed (1) as a result of a Change in Law or (2) on a Person that is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower, provided that in no event shall such additional amounts under this clause (2) exceed the additional amounts that the assignor was entitled to receive at the time such assignment was effective except as provided in subsection 10.6(b). Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes are payable by the Borrower or other Loan Parties, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Lender for its own account a certified copy of an original official receipt (or other documentary evidence of such payment reasonably acceptable to the Lender) received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower or other Loan Parties fail to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or fails to remit to the Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall indemnify the Lender for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection 3.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

(b) If the Lender is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), it shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to subsection 10.6, on the date of such assignment or transfer to the Lender, two accurate and complete copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or successor form), in each case certifying that the Lender is a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) and to the Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal backup withholding Tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note. If the Lender is not a “United States person” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), it shall deliver to the Borrower on or prior to the Closing Date or, in the case of an assignee or transferee of an interest under this Agreement pursuant to subsection 10.6, on the date of such assignment or transfer to the Lender, (i) two accurate and complete copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) (or successor forms), in each case certifying to the Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, (ii) if the Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty) (or successor form) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) two certificates substantially in the applicable form of Exhibit F (any such certificate, a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two accurate and complete copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor forms) certifying to the Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be made under this Agreement and under any Note or (iii) if the Lender is a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, two accurate and complete signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (and all necessary attachments, including to the extent applicable, U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates) certifying to the Lender’s entitlement as of such date to a complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note (or, to the extent the beneficial owners of such non-U.S. intermediary or flow through entity are (a) non-U.S. persons claiming portfolio interest treatment, a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to interest payments or (b) United States persons, a complete exemption from United States federal backup withholding tax), unless, in each case, such Person is an assignee whose assignor was entitled to receive additional amounts with respect to payments made by the Borrower, at the time such assignment was effective, as a result of Change in Law that occurred after the Closing Date and such assignee is subject to the same Change in Law with respect to payments from the Borrower. In addition, the Lender agrees that from time to time after the Closing Date, when the passage of time or a change in circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate, the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower two new accurate and complete copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable (claiming the benefits of the portfolio interest exemption) and a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, or Form W-8IMY (with respect to a non-U.S. intermediary or flow-through entity), as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in order to confirm or establish the entitlement of the Lender to a continued exemption from United States federal withholding tax

(c) The Lender shall, upon request by the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower and/or the applicable Governmental Authority, as the case may be, any form or certificate required in order that any payment by the Borrower under this Agreement or any Note to the Lender may be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes (or to allow any such deduction or withholding to be at a reduced rate), provided that the Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such form or certificate. Each Person that shall become a Lender or a Participant pursuant to subsection 10.6 shall, upon the effectiveness of the related transfer, be required to provide all of the forms, certifications and statements pursuant to paragraph (b), this paragraph (c) and paragraph (d) of this subsection 3.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein), provided that in the case of a Participant the obligations of such Participant pursuant to paragraph (b), this paragraph (c) and paragraph (d) of this subsection 3.11 shall be determined as if such Participant were a Lender except that such Participant shall furnish all such required forms, certifications and statements to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased.

(d) If a payment made to a Lender under any SPV Investment Document would be subject to Tax imposed by FATCA if the Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether the Lender has complied with the Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

3.13 Certain Rules Relating to the Payment of Additional Amounts.

(a) Upon the request, and at the expense, of the Borrower, the Lender in respect of any additional amount is required to be paid pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11, and any Participant in respect of whose participation such payment is required, shall reasonably afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, and reasonably cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Tax giving rise to such payment; provided that (i) the Lender shall not be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to so contest unless the Borrower shall have confirmed in writing to the Lender its obligation to pay such amounts pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the Borrower shall reimburse the Lender for its reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and disbursements incurred in so cooperating with the Borrower in contesting the imposition of such Non-Excluded Tax; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing no Lender shall be required to afford the Borrower the opportunity to contest, or cooperate with the Borrower in contesting, the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes, if the Lender in its sole discretion in good faith determines that to do so would have an adverse effect on it.

(b) If the Lender changes its applicable lending office (other than (i) pursuant to paragraph (c) below or (ii) after an Event of Default under subsection 8.1(a) or 8.1(f) has occurred and is continuing) and the effect of such change, as of the date of such change, would be to cause the Borrower to become obligated to pay any additional amount under subsection 3.10 or 3.11, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount.

(c) If a condition or an event occurs which would, or would upon the passage of time or giving of notice, result in the payment of any additional amount to the Lender pursuant to subsection 3.10 or 3.11, as the case may be, the Lender shall promptly after becoming aware of such event or condition notify the Borrower and shall take such steps as may reasonably be available to it to mitigate the effects of such condition or event (which shall include efforts to rebook the Term Loans held by the Lender at another lending office, or through another branch or an affiliate, of the Lender); provided that the Lender shall not be required to take any step that, in its reasonable judgment, would be materially disadvantageous to its business or operations or would require it to incur additional costs (unless the Borrower agrees to reimburse the Lender for the reasonable incremental out-of-pocket costs thereof).

(d) [reserved].

(e) If the Lender receives a refund directly attributable to Taxes for which the Borrower have made additional payments pursuant to subsection 3.10(a) or 3.11(a), the Lender shall promptly pay such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto received from the relevant taxing authority, but net of any reasonable cost incurred in connection therewith) to the Borrower; provided, however, that the Borrower agrees promptly to return such refund (together with any interest with respect thereto due to the relevant taxing authority) (free of all Non-Excluded Taxes) to the Lender upon receipt of a notice that such refund is required to be repaid to the relevant taxing authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subparagraph (e), in no event shall any person be required to pay more than the after-tax amount of the refund it received. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that is deemed confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(f) The obligations of the Lender or Participant under this subsection 3.13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Term Loans and all amounts payable hereunder.

3.14 [Reserved].

Except as expressly provided above in this subsection 8.1, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived.

8.2 Borrower’s Right to Cure.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary otherwise contained in this Section 8 or in any SPV Investment Document, in the event of any Financial Covenant Event of Default (or if the Borrower reasonably anticipates a Financial Covenant Event of Default will occur) for any Relevant Four Fiscal Quarter Period, then during the period specified as set forth in the definition of Specified Equity Contribution, the Borrower shall have the right to cure such failure by receiving a Specified Equity Contribution, and subject to the satisfaction of the other conditions with respect to Specified Equity Contribution set forth in the definition thereof, and upon receipt by the Borrower of such Specified Equity Contribution (the “Cure Amount”) pursuant to the exercise of such cure right, Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio shall be recalculated with respect to the relevant measurement period giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments:

(i) with respect to the measuring compliance with the covenant in subsection 7.10(a) for the purpose of calculating the Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio after receipt of a Cure Amount, Consolidated EBITDA shall be increased, solely for the purpose of determining the existence of a Financial Covenant Event of Default resulting from a breach of the financial covenant set forth in subsection 7.11(a) with respect to any relevant measurement period that includes the fiscal quarter for which the cure right was exercised and not for any other purpose under this Agreement, by an amount equal to be in compliance with the requirements of subsection 7.11(a),

(ii) [Reserved].

(iii) for the avoidance of doubt, a Cure Amount can be used for both subsection 7.11(a) and subsection 7.11(b) for the same relevant period of measurement, and if after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of subsection 7.11(a) and subsection 7.11(b), as applicable, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the applicable financial covenants in subsection 7.11 as of the relevant test date (with retroactive effect) with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the financial covenants in subsection 7.11 that had occurred shall be deemed cured for purposes of this Agreement, provided that (x) in each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters there shall be at least two fiscal quarters in which no cure right is exercised,

(y) such cure right shall not be exercised in more than three Fiscal Quarters during the term of this Agreement and (z) if the Borrower receives a Specified Equity Contribution prior to the deadline to cure such breach or default, as applicable and the Cure Amount associated therewith is insufficient to cure the Financial Covenant Event of Default with respect to the relevant measurement period, any subsequent Specified Equity Contribution to “top-up” such Cure Amount prior to the occurrence of the deadline to cure such breach or default shall be deemed to be the same exercise of the cure right(s).

(b) The parties hereby acknowledge that notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Cure Amount received pursuant to the occurrence of any Specified Equity Contribution shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA in any determination of any financial ratio-based conditions, pricing or basket under Section 7 (other than as applicable to subsection 7.11(a)).

(c) The Lender shall not exercise the right to accelerate the Term Loans or terminate the Commitments and the Lender shall not exercise any other remedy under this Agreement, the other SPV Investment Documents or applicable Requirement of Law prior to the applicable date in the definition of Specified Equity Contribution solely on the basis of an Event of Default having occurred and continuing under subsection 7.11 (except to the extent that the Borrower has confirmed that in writing that it does not intend to exercise the cure right).

8.3 Expired Defaults. To the extent Section 8 requires a written notice to Borrower by the Lender in order for such Default to become an Event of Default, then such Default will not constitute an Event of Default until the Lender, as applicable, notify the Borrower in writing of the Default and Borrower does not cure such Default prior to the receipt of such notice (subject to applicable grace periods); provided that, a notice of Default may not be given with respect to any action taken, and reported publicly or disclosed in writing to the Lender, more than two years prior to such notice of Default (an “Expired Default”) and no Person shall be permitted to exercise rights and/or remedies with regard to such Expired Default.

The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower (and, solely with respect to entries applicable to the Lender, the Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee and any written consent to such assignment required by this subsection 10.6(a), the Lender shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained therein in the Register and give prompt notice of such assignment and recordation to the Borrower. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(e) On or prior to the effective date of any assignment pursuant to this subsection 10.6(b), the assigning Lender shall surrender any outstanding Notes held by it all or a portion of which are being assigned. Any Notes surrendered by the assigning Lender shall be returned by the Lender to the Borrower marked “cancelled.”

Furthermore, no Assignee, which as of the date of any assignment to it pursuant to this subsection 10.6(b) would be entitled to receive any greater payment under subsection 3.10, 3.11 or 10.5 than the assigning Lender would have been entitled to receive as of such date under such subsections with respect to the rights assigned, shall be entitled to receive such greater payments unless the assignment was made after an Event of Default under subsection 8.1(a) or 8.1(f) (with respect to the Borrower) has occurred and is continuing or the Borrower has expressly consented in writing to waive the benefit of this provision at the time of such assignment.

(f) (i) The Lender may, in accordance with applicable law, without the consent of the Borrower, sell participations (other than, to the extent the list of Disqualified Lenders has been made available to the Lender, to a Disqualified Lender, a natural person, the Borrower, any Subsidiary thereof or any Affiliates thereof) to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment, and the Term Loans owing to it); provided that (A) the Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the Lender shall remain the holder of any such Term Loans for all purposes under this Agreement and the other SPV Investment Documents, and (D) the Borrower and the other Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lender in connection with the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which the Lender sells such a participation shall provide that the 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 may provide that, to the extent of such participation, the Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of the Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to clause (i) (other than with respect to (i) reductions or forgiveness of premium or (ii) postponements of any scheduled amortization) or (iii) of the second proviso to the second sentence of subsection 10.1(a) and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (f)(iii) of this subsection 10.6, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of (and shall have the related obligations under) subsections 3.10, 3.11, 3.13 and 10.5 to the same extent as if it were the Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this subsection 10.6. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 10.7(b) as though it were the Lender, provided that such Participant shall be subject to subsection 10.7(a) as though it were the Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lender shall not be permitted to sell participations under this Agreement to any Disqualified Lender and any such participation shall be void ab initio, except to the extent the Borrower has consented to such participation in writing (in which case the Lender will not be considered a Disqualified Lender solely for that particular participation). Any attempted participation which does not comply with this subsection 10.6 shall be null and void.

(ii)

The Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and related interest amount) of each Participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the SPV Investment 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, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any SPV Investment Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary in connection with a Tax audit, Tax proceeding or any other governmental inquiry to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Proposed United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(b) (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the 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.

(iii)

No Loan Party shall be obligated to make any greater payment under subsection 3.10, 3.11 or 10.5, than it would have been obligated to make in the absence of any participation, unless the sale of such participation is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Borrower expressly waives the benefit of this provision at the time of such participation. No Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of subsection 3.11 to the extent such Participant fails to comply with subsection 3.11(b) and/or (c) or to provide the forms and certificates referenced therein to the Lender that granted such participation and such failure increases the obligation of the Borrower under subsection 3.11.

(iv)

Subject to paragraph (f)(iii), the Lender may also sell participations on terms other than the terms set forth in paragraph (f)(i) above, provided such participations are on terms and to Participants satisfactory to the Borrower and the Borrower has consented to such terms and Participants in writing.

(g) [Reserved].

(h) No assignment or participation made or purported to be made to any Assignee or Participant shall be effective without the prior written consent of the Borrower if it would require the Borrower to make any filing with any Governmental Authority or qualify any Term Loan or Note under the laws of any jurisdiction, and the Borrower shall be entitled to request and receive such information and assurances as it may reasonably request from the Lender or any Assignee to determine whether any such filing or qualification is required or whether any assignment or participation is otherwise in accordance with applicable law; provided that any such request shall be made solely for the foregoing purposes and not for the purpose of identifying the name of any Participant.

(i) [Reserved].

(j) [Reserved].

(k) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other SPV Investment Document to the contrary, if the Lender or Participant at any time is a Disqualified Lender, then for so long as the Lender or Participant shall be a Disqualified Lender, the provisions of this subsection 10.6(k) shall apply with respect to such Disqualified Lender unless the Borrower shall have otherwise expressly consented in writing in its sole discretion (and regardless of whether the Borrower shall have consented to any assignment or participation to the Lender or Participant).

(i)	[reserved]

(ii)	[reserved].

(iii)

No Disqualified Lender (whether as the Lender, a Participant or otherwise) shall have any right to (A) receive any information or material made available to the Lender hereunder or under any other SPV Investment Document, (B) have access to any Internet or intranet website to which any of the Lender has access (whether a commercial, third-party or other website or whether sponsored by the Borrower or otherwise), (C) attend (including by telephone) or otherwise participate in any meeting or discussions (or portions thereof) among or with the Borrower and/or one or more Lender, (D) receive any information or material prepared by the Borrower and/or one or more Lender or (E) receive advice of counsel to the Lender or challenge their attorney-client privilege. Any Disqualified Lender shall not solicit or seek to obtain any such information or material. If at any time any Disqualified Lender receives or possesses any such information or material, such Disqualified Lender shall (1) notify the Borrower as soon as possible that such information or material has become known to it or came into its possession, (2) immediately return to the Borrower or, at the option of the Borrower, destroy (and confirm to the Borrower such destruction) such information or material, together with any notes, analyses, compilations, forecasts, studies or other documents related thereto which it or its advisors prepared and (3) keep such information or material confidential and shall not utilize such information or material for any purpose. The Lender (whether or not then a party hereto) agrees to notify the Borrower as soon as possible if it becomes aware that (x) it made an assignment to or has a participation with a Disqualified Lender or (y) any such Disqualified Lender has received any such information of materials.

(iv)

The rights and remedies of the Borrower provided herein are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights and remedies provided to the Borrower at law or in equity, and the Borrower shall be entitled to pursue any remedy available to it against the Lender that has (or has purported to have) made an assignment or sold or maintained a participation to or with a Disqualified Lender or against any Disqualified Lender.

10.7 Adjustments; Set-off; Calculations; Computations.

(a) [Reserved].

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lender provided by law, the Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under subsection 8.1(a) to set off and appropriate and apply against any amount then due and payable under subsection 8.1(a) by the Borrower any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. The Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by the Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

10.8 Judgment.

(a) If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Loan Party in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this subsection 10.8 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under any SPV Investment Document in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date, or the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this subsection 10.8 being hereinafter in this subsection 10.8 referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

(b) If, in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in subsection 10.8(a), there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt for value of the amount due, the applicable Loan Party shall pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from any Loan Party under this subsection 10.8(b) shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of any of the SPV Investment Documents.

(c) The term “rate of exchange” in this subsection 10.8 means the rate of exchange at which the Lender or any of its Affiliates, on the relevant date at or about 12:00 noon (New York time), would be prepared to sell, in accordance with its normal course foreign currency exchange practices, the Obligation Currency against the Judgment Currency.

10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by facsimile and other electronic transmission), and all of such counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be delivered to the Borrower and the Lender.

10.10 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.11 Integration. This Agreement and the other SPV Investment Documents represent the final agreement among the parties hereto and thereto and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

10.12 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY NOTES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY LAWS, RULES OR PROVISIONS THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(a) submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement and the other SPV Investment Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the general jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Supreme Court”), and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan (the “Federal District Court” and, together with the New York Supreme Court, the “New York Courts”), and appellate courts from either of them;

(b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient forum and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

(i) if all such New York Courts decline jurisdiction over any Person, or decline (or in the case of the Federal District Court, lack) jurisdiction over any subject matter of such action or proceeding, a legal action or proceeding may be brought with respect thereto in another court having such jurisdiction;

(ii) in the event that a legal action or proceeding is brought against any party hereto or involving any of its property or assets in another court (without any collusive assistance by such party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates), such party shall be entitled to assert any claim or defense (including any claim or defense that this subsection 10.13(c) would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New York Court) in any such action or proceeding;

(iii) the Lender may bring any legal action or proceeding against any Loan Party in any jurisdiction in connection with the exercise of any rights under any SPV Investment Documents, provided that any Loan Party shall be entitled to assert any claim or defense (including any claim or defense that this subsection 10.13(c) would otherwise require to be asserted in a legal action or proceeding in a New York Court) in any such action or proceeding; and

(e) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law or (subject to the preceding clause (c)) shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and

10.22 Postponement of Subrogation. The Borrower agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of rights of subrogation under this Agreement, by any payments made hereunder or otherwise, until the prior payment in full of all of the SPV Investment Document Obligations (other than contingent indemnity or reimbursement obligations) and the permanent termination of all Commitments. Any amount paid to the Borrower on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the payment in full of all of the obligations hereunder and under any other SPV Investment Document and the permanent termination of all Commitments shall be paid to the applicable Lender and credited and applied against the obligations of the Borrower, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the applicable Lender shall elect.

10.23 Reinstatement.

In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

10.24 Acknowledgment Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the SPV Investment Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Hedging Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the SPV Investment Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):

(a) In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the SPV Investment Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the SPV Investment Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) As used in this subsection 10.24, the following terms have the following meanings:

(i)

“BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 1841(k)) of such party.

(ii)

“Covered Entity” means any of the following:

(A) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);

(B) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or

(iii)

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

(iv)

“QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. 5390(c)(8)(D).

10.25 Timing of SPAC Transaction and Merger. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that (a) the SPAC Transactions and the transactions described in the Merger Agreement and the Proxy Statement were fully consummated, and the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) occurred, immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement and the other SPV Investment Documents, (b) the Borrower has executed this Agreement and the other SPV Investment Documents (to which it is a party), the SPAC Transactions and the transactions described in the Merger Agreement and the Proxy Statement after such transactions were fully consummated and (c) the SPAC Transactions shall not be restricted by any covenants in the SPV Investment Documents.

10.26 Status as Subordinated Indebtedness.
