[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Insolvency Proceeding or any Event of Default under Section 9.08, (D) satisfaction, release, payment, restructuring, reorganization, replacement, reinstatement, defeasance or compromise of any of the Obligations in any Insolvency Proceeding, foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding or otherwise) or deed in lieu of foreclosure or the making of a distribution of any kind in any Insolvency Proceeding to Lender in full or partial satisfaction of the Obligations, and (E) a termination of this Agreement for any reason (the occurrence of any of the events set forth in the foregoing clauses (A) through (E), the “End of Term Fee Event”), Borrowers shall pay Lender as an inducement for making the Term Loans (and not as a penalty) an amount equal to the End of Term Fee, which End of Term Fee shall be fully earned, and due and payable, on the date of such End of Term Fee Event, and non-refundable when made.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (w) all or any portion of the Term Loans is paid or prepaid (or is required to be paid or prepaid) pursuant to Section 2.01(b), (c), (d) or (e), (x) the Obligations are accelerated (whether as a result of an Event of Default, by operation of law or otherwise), including as a result of the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding or any Event of Default under Section 9.08, (y) there is a satisfaction, release, payment, restructuring, reorganization, replacement, reinstatement, defeasance or compromise of any of the Obligations in any Insolvency Proceeding, foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding or otherwise) or deed in lieu of foreclosure or the making of a distribution of any kind in any Insolvency Proceeding to Lender in full or partial satisfaction of the Obligations, or (z) there is a termination of this Agreement for any reason (the occurrence of any of the events set forth in the foregoing clauses (w) through (z), a “Premium Event”), Borrowers shall pay Lender as an inducement for making the Term Loans (and not as a penalty) an amount equal to the Applicable Prepayment Premium, which Applicable Prepayment Premium shall be fully earned, and due and payable, on the date of such Premium Event, and non-refundable when made.

The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that neither the End of Term Fee nor the Applicable Prepayment Premium is intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Loan Parties for any such repayment or prepayment. Any prepayment or repayment, whether voluntary or involuntary, of the Term Loans upon the occurrence of any End of Term Fee Event or Premium Event shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid or repaid, together with the End of Term Fee and/or the Applicable Prepayment Premium, as applicable.

The End of Term Fee and the Applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, shall also be payable in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other similar means. THE LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING FINAL PAYMENT FEE OR APPLICABLE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Loan Parties expressly agree that (i) each of the End of Term Fee and the Applicable Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the End of Term Fee and Applicable Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between Lender and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the End of Term Fee and Applicable Prepayment Premium, (iv) the Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 2.01(f), (v) their agreement to pay the End of Term Fee and Applicable Prepayment Premium is a material inducement to the Lender to make the Term Loans, and (vi) the End of Term Fee and Applicable Prepayment Premium represents a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lender and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lender or profits lost by the Lender as a result of such End of Term Fee Event or Premium Event.
(g) Structuring Fee. At the Closing Date, the Company shall pay to the Lender a structuring fee (the “Structuring Fee”) equal to 3% of the original principal amount of the Initial Term Loan, which amount shall be netted out of the funding at the Closing Date.

(i) Default Rate. At all times during the continuation of an Event of Default, the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loans shall bear interest at the Default Rate. All fees, expenses and other Obligations not paid when due shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date due until paid.
(ii) Interest Computation. Interest is payable on the first day of each calendar month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter), commencing on July 1, 2018, on the outstanding principal amount of any Term Loan (including any interest capitalized thereon) at a rate equal to the LIBOR Interest Rate (which LIBOR Interest Rate shall be paid in immediately available funds); provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect that up to 5.50% of such cash interest be paid in-kind, by capitalizing and adding such interest to the unpaid principal amount of such Term Loan (including any interest capitalized thereof) (such capitalized interest, “PIK Interest”)). All PIK Interest so added shall be capitalized monthly on each interest payment date and treated as principal amount of such Term Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. Following any such increase in the principal amount of such Term Loan, all interest will accrue on such increased amount. Borrowers shall notify Lender in writing of its election to incur interest as PIK Interest at least five (5) Business Days prior to each interest payment date (or such shorter period as Lender may
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
agree in its sole discretion) and absent such notice, Borrowers shall pay the interest due for such interest period in cash. At any time that an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Term Loans shall no longer bear interest at the LIBOR Interest Rate and the Lender shall have the right to convert all outstanding LIBO Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans.
(b) Fees. Borrowers shall pay Lender the fees, including but not limited to the Structuring Fee, End of Term Fee and Lender Expenses.
(c) Computation. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, actual days elapsed.
(d) Payments. Interest shall be payable monthly, in advance, on the first day of each month and on the Maturity Date. All payments (including prepayments) to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, at or before 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time on the date when due. Payments received after 11:00 a.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. Each payment made by Borrowers under a Loan Document is in addition to any payment or distribution to which Lender may be entitled or may receive pursuant to Borrowers’ Organization Documents, and nothing in any Loan Document shall be construed as limiting, reducing or in any way diminishing any payment or distribution to which Lender may be entitled or may receive under or with respect to such Borrowers’ Organization Documents.
(e) Application of Payments. Borrowers shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which Lender shall allocate or apply any payment required to be made by Borrowers to Lender or otherwise received by Lender under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement.
(f) Break Funding Payments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of the payment or prepayment by the Borrowers of any principal of the Term Loans other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate the Lender for the loss, cost and expense actually incurred as a result of such event (other than loss of profit). A certificate of the Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that the Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate upon receipt thereof.
SECTION 2.03. Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Laws. If any applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Borrowers) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by Borrowers, then Borrowers shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrowers shall be increased as necessary so that after making such deduction or withholdings (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
this Section) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, or at the option of the Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) Tax Indemnification. Borrowers shall, and do hereby indemnify Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender, and any Taxes due with respect to the payment of Indemnified Taxes under this Section, and any penalties, interest and 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 the Borrowers by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrowers to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 2.03, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(e) Status of Lender. If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, Lender shall deliver to Borrowers, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrowers, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, if reasonably requested by Borrowers, Lender shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrowers as will enable Borrowers to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than the documentation required in the following sentence) shall not be required if in Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution and submission would subject Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall deliver to Borrowers on or prior to the effective date of this Agreement and at such other times as reasonably requested by Borrowers, executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying or such other documentation that is reasonably requested by Borrowers to indicate that Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers or with respect to which Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.03, it shall pay to Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 2.03 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) incurred by Lender, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Borrowers, upon Lender’s request, agree to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Lender if Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection, in no event is Lender required to pay any amount to Borrowers pursuant to this subsection (i) the payment of which would place Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than Lender would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid or (ii) during the continuation of an Event of Default. This subsection shall not be construed to require Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person.
(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.03 shall survive the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
SECTION 2.04. Special LIBOR Provisions.
(a) Circumstances Affecting LIBO Rate Availability. If the Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that deposits in eurodollars in the applicable amounts are not being offered to the Lender at the applicable LIBO Rate, then the Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrowers. Thereafter, until the Lender notifies the Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, (i) the LIBO Rate component shall no longer be utilized in determining the Base Rate, (ii) the obligation of the Lender to make any Term Loan as a LIBO Rate Loan, and the right of the Borrowers to convert any Term Loan to, or continue any Term Loan as, a LIBO Rate Loan shall be suspended, (iii) effective upon the last day of each Interest Period related to any existing LIBO Rate Loan, such LIBO Rate Loan shall automatically be converted into a Base Rate Loan (without regard to the satisfaction of any conditions to conversion contained elsewhere herein), and (iv) effective immediately following such notice, each LIBO Rate Loan shall automatically be converted into a Base Rate Loan (without regard to the satisfaction of any conditions to conversion contained elsewhere herein). If the Lender determines that either inadequate or insufficient quotations of the London interbank offered rate exist or the use of “LIBOR” has been or will be discontinued, the Lender may, in consultation with the Borrower amend the definition of “LIBOR” and other related provisions to provide for a substitute interest rate index and to include other provisions that are at such time customary in the lending markets of the Lender (as determined by the Lender, such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error).
(b) Laws Affecting LIBOR Rate Availability. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption or introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Lender to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain any Term Loan as a LIBO Rate Loan, the Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrowers. Thereafter, (a) the obligations of the Lender to make or maintain such Term Loan as a LIBO Rate Loan and the right of the Borrowers to convert such Term Loan into, or continue such Term Loan as, a LIBO Rate Loan shall be suspended and thereafter only the Base Rate shall be available, and (b) if the Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term Loan as a LIBO Rate Loan, such Term Loan shall immediately be converted to a Base Rate Loan.
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(c) No Obligation to Purchase Eurodollar Deposits. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, Lender is not required actually to acquire Eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues based on the LIBO Rate.
(d) Right of Lenders to Fund through Other Offices. Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its Term Loan Commitment by causing a foreign branch or Affiliate of Lender to make any Term Loan; provided that in such event for the purposes of this Agreement, such Term Loan shall be deemed to have been made by Lender and the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Term Loan shall nevertheless be to the Lender and shall be deemed held by it, to the extent of such Term Loan, for the account of such branch or Affiliate.
(e) Discretion of Lender as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its funding of all or any part of its Term Loan in any manner it sees fit, it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained each LIBOR Loan during each Interest Period for such Term Loan through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and bearing an interest rate equal to the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period.
(f) Conclusiveness of Statements. Determinations and statements of Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error.

(g) Except as set forth on the Disclosure Schedule, none of the Intellectual Property has been or is currently involved in any reexamination, supplemental examination, reissue, interference proceeding, or any similar proceeding, and no such proceedings are pending or threatened.
SECTION 6.18. Rights in Collateral; Priority of Liens. Each Loan Party owns the property granted by it as Collateral under the Loan Documents, free and clear of any and all Liens in favor of third parties other than Permitted Liens.

ARTICLE X. LENDER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
SECTION 10.01. Rights and Remedies.
(a) While an Event of Default occurs and continues Lender may, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following, singularly, consecutively or cumulatively:
(i) Declare all Obligations (including any Applicable Prepayment Premium and the End of Term Fee) immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers (but if an Event of Default described in Section 9.08 occurs, all Obligations (including any Applicable Prepayment Premium and the End of Term Fee) are immediately due and payable without any action by Lender);
(ii) Stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrowers’ benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrowers and Lender;
(iii) Make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral or its security interest in the Collateral. Lender may pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien, other than a Permitted Lien, which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and in exercising any such powers, incur any liability, expend whatever amounts in its absolute discretion it may deem necessary
(iv) therefor, including cost of evidence of title, employ counsel and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees;
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(v) Without notice to or demand upon Borrowers and without releasing Borrowers from any obligation hereof, reclaim, recover, maintain, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral and in exercising any such powers, incur any liability, expend whatever amounts in its absolute discretion it may deem necessary therefor, including cost of evidence of title, employ counsel and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees. Lender is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrowers’ labels, Patents, copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Lender’s exercise of its rights under this Section 10.01. Borrowers’ rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Lender’s benefit;
(vi) Transfer all or part of the Collateral into the name of Lender or its nominee;
(vii) Demand and receive possession of Borrowers’ corporate, financial and operating books and records; and
(viii) Exercise all rights and remedies available to Lender under the Loan Documents or at Law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC, all of which rights and remedies shall be cumulative and nonexclusive to the extent permitted by law, including, without limitation, the following:
(1) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender shall have all rights and remedies provided by Law, including but not limited to those of a Lender under the UCC as in effect in the States of New York and Delaware on the date hereof and as amended hereafter, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein or in the Loan Documents. Lender may, in its sole discretion, require Borrowers to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender that is reasonably convenient to Borrowers and Lender, and without notice except as specified below, dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of Lender’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as Lender may deem commercially reasonable. If notice of disposition of Collateral is required by Law, ten (10) days prior notice by Lender to Borrowers designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made shall be deemed to be reasonable notice thereof, and Borrowers waive any other notice. Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
Upon the sale of Collateral at any public or private sale, Lender may credit bid and purchase (as determined by Lender in its sole discretion) all or any portion of the Collateral. In the event Lender institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy in an action against Borrowers, Borrowers waive the posting of any bond which might otherwise be required. All Lender’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and none are exclusive. Whether or not default has occurred, all payments
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
made by or on behalf of Borrowers and all credits due Borrowers under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document between Borrowers and Lender may be applied to the Obligations in whatever order and amounts Lender chooses subject to the terms of this Agreement and applicable Law.
(2) All cash proceeds received by Lender in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of Lender, be held by Lender as collateral for, or then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by Lender against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order as Lender shall elect. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by Lender and remaining after payment in full of all the Obligations shall be paid over to Borrowers or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
(3) Lender may exercise any and all rights and remedies of Borrowers under or in respect of the Collateral.
(4) All payments received by Borrowers under or in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of Lender, shall be segregated from other funds of Borrowers and shall be forthwith paid over to Lender in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).
(5) Whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred, if Borrowers fail to perform any agreement contained herein, Lender may, in its sole discretion, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the reasonable expenses of Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrowers. The powers conferred upon Lender hereunder are solely for the protection of its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.
(6) Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder, Lender shall have no duty as to any Collateral, whether or not Lender has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Lender accords its own property.
(b) Lender may cause the Collateral to remain on Borrowers’ premises, at Borrowers’ expense, pending sale or other disposition thereof. Lender shall have the right to conduct such sales on Borrowers’ premises or elsewhere, at Borrowers’ expense, on such occasions) as Lender may see fit, and Borrowers, at Lender’s request, will, at Borrowers’ expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at such place(s) as Lender may reasonably designate from time to time. Any sale, lease or other disposition by Lender of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may be for cash or other value. Borrowers shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such instruments, documents, assignments, deeds, waivers, certificates and affidavits and take such further action as Lender shall reasonably require in connection with such sale, and each Borrower hereby constitutes Lender as its attorney-in-fact to execute any such instrument, document, assignment, deed, waiver, certificate or affidavit on behalf of each Borrower and in its name. At
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
any sale of the Collateral, the Collateral to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate lots as Lender may determine. Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it determines not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale was given. Lender may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the sale to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. In case any sale of Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by Lender until the sale price is paid, but Lender shall not incur any liability if any purchaser fails to pay for any Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again. At any public sale, Lender (i) may bid for or purchase the Collateral offered for sale, free (to the extent permitted by Law) from any rights of redemption, stay or appraisal on the part of Borrowers with respect to the Collateral; (ii) make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to Lender from Borrowers as a credit against the purchase price; and (iii) upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to Borrowers therefor. Borrowers acknowledges that portions of the Collateral may be difficult to preserve and dispose of and may be subject to complex maintenance and management; accordingly, Lender shall have the widest possible latitude in the exercise of its rights and remedies hereunder.
(c) Any notice required to be given by Lender with respect to any of the Collateral, which notice is given pursuant to Article XI and deemed received pursuant to Article XI at least ten (10) Business Days before a sale, lease, disposition or other intended action by Lender, shall constitute fair and reasonable notice to Borrowers of any such action. A public sale in the following fashion shall be conclusively presumed to be reasonable if (i) the sale is held in a county where any part of the Collateral is located or in which any Borrower has a place of business; (ii) the sale is conducted by auction, but it need not be by a professional auctioneer; (iii) any Collateral is sold as is and without any preparation for sale; and (iv) Borrowers are given notice of such public sale pursuant to the preceding sentence.
(d) Lender shall have no obligation (i) to preserve any rights to the Collateral against any Person; (ii) to make any demand upon or pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies against Borrowers or others with respect to payment of the Obligations; (iii) to pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies with respect to any of the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations; or (iv) to marshal any assets in favor of Borrowers or any other Person against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations.
(e) Each Borrower recognizes that one or more Laws may limit the flexibility desired to achieve a more commercially reasonable disposition of Collateral, and it is intended that consideration of such Laws be taken into account in determining commercial reasonableness.
(f) Each Borrower is aware that Section 9.610 of the UCC states that Lender is able to purchase the pledged Equity Interests of iPass SPV only if they are sold at a public sale. Each Borrower is also aware that SEC staff personnel have, over a period of years, issued various No Action Letters that describe procedures which, in the view of the SEC staff, permit a foreclosure sale of securities to occur in a manner that is public for purposes of Part 6 of Article 9 of the UCC, yet not public for purposes of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended from time to time). Each Borrower is also aware that Lender may wish to purchase the pledged Equity Interests that are sold at a foreclosure sale, and each Borrower believes that such purchase would be appropriate in circumstances in which the pledged Equity Interests are sold in conformity with the principles set forth in the No Action Letters. Each Borrower specifically agrees that a foreclosure
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in the No Action Letters (i) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of Section 9.610 of the UCC; (ii) will not be considered commercially unreasonable solely by virtue of the fact that Lender has not registered or sought to register the Equity Interests under the securities Laws; even if Borrowers agree or the issuer of such Equity Interests agrees to pay all costs of the registration process; and (iii) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that Lender purchases the pledged Equity Interests at such a sale.
(g) Borrowers shall pay to Lender, on demand and as part of the Obligations, all reasonable costs and expenses, including court costs and costs of sale, incurred by Lender in exercising any of its rights or remedies hereunder.
SECTION 10.02. Power of Attorney. Each of iPass SPV and Parent hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to (a) endorse iPass SPV’s or Parent’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ insurance policies; (c) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (d) Transfer the Collateral into the name of Lender or a third party as the UCC permits; and (e) to sign Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Collateral. Lender’s foregoing appointment as Parent’s and iPass SPV’s attorney-in-fact, and all of Lender’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and Lender’s obligation to extend credit terminates.
SECTION 10.03. Protective Payments. If Borrowers fail to obtain the insurance required hereunder or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrowers are obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Lender are Lender Expenses and are immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the Default Rate and secured by the Collateral. Lender will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrowers with notice of Lender’s obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Lender are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default.
SECTION 10.04. Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply any funds in its possession to the Obligations in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole and exclusive discretion. Subject to the terms of the Borrower Operating Agreement, any surplus shall be paid to Borrowers or other Persons legally entitled thereto; provided, that Borrowers shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency. If Lender, in its good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Lender 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 Lender of cash therefor.
SECTION 10.05. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Lender’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of 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. Lender’s
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Transaction Documents are cumulative. Lender has all rights and remedies provided under the UCC, by Law, or in equity. Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Lender from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at Law or in equity, and Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Lender’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

Each such assignment shall be recorded in the Register and each such participation shall be recorded in the Participant Register. With respect to participations, Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the provisions of Section 2.03, subject to the requirements and limitations therein (it being understood that any documentation required under Section 2.03(e) shall be delivered to Lender), to the same extent as if it had acquired its interest by assignment.

[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by any Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) 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 Indemnitee; or (y) result from a claim brought by any Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 13.05. Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. Except as set forth in Section 2.04(a) of this Agreement, no purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, or 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.

[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.
SECTION 13.17. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by Lender or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers against any and all of the Obligations, irrespective of whether Lender has made demand under any Loan Document. Lender’s rights under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Lender or its Affiliates may have.

If the Lender receives interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the applicable Term Loan or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest; (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations.
SECTION 13.19. Securitization of Loans; Appointment of Agent.

material fact by Parent or any Affiliate of the Parent contained in any Loan Document or in any writing delivered by or on behalf of the Parent or any Affiliate of the Parent to the Lenders in connection with any Loan Document or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission by the Parent or any Affiliate of the Parent to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and such indemnity shall survive any transfer by any Lender or its successors or assigns of the Term Loans and (B) agreeing to reimburse each Lender and its Affiliates for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Persons in connection with defending the Liabilities.
(b) The Lender shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers and at Borrowers’ expense, to appoint an administrative agent and/or a collateral agent.
SECTION 13.20. Confidentiality.
(a) Lender agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to any assignee of or participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement; (g) on a confidential basis to (x) any rating agency in connection with rating any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder; or (y) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder; (h) with the consent of the Borrowers; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section; or (y) becomes available to the Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers. In addition to the foregoing, Lender agrees to comply with the confidentiality requirements of any license or other agreement relating to any Patents with respect to any such agreement set forth on the Disclosure Schedule, provided that the Borrowers shall deliver to Lender a true and correct copy of each such agreement and, in connection therewith, inform Lender of the confidentiality provisions thereof which Lender shall comply.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or the Borrowers’ or any such Subsidiary’s directors, officers, employees, trustees, investment advisors or agents, including accountants and legal counsel relating to the Borrowers or any such Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers or any such Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information but in no event less than reasonable care.
(b) Lender acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrowers or a Subsidiary of Borrowers, as the case may be; (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information; and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Laws, including all securities Laws.

Exhibit B
Form of Guaranty
(see attached)
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP AGREEMENT
THIS GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) made as of June 14, 2018, by iPass Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent” and together with each other Person that becomes a Borrower under the Credit Agreement (as defined below), including, for the avoidance of doubt, iPass IP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“iPass SPV”) upon the consummation of the SPV Joinder, each a “Borrower” and collectively, the “Borrowers” and, together with their successors and permitted assigns and any other person or entity that becomes a Guarantor hereunder pursuant to Section 5 below, jointly and severally, the “Guarantors” and, individually, a “Guarantor”), in favor of Fortress Credit Corp. (the “Lender”).
Background
The Borrowers and the Lender have entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated, amended and restated, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein are used as defined in the Credit Agreement). Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lender agreed to extend credit to the Borrowers on the terms and conditions described therein. The Borrowers and the other Guarantors are engaged in related businesses, and each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the extension of credit by the Lender to the Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement. One of the conditions to the extension of credit under the Credit Agreement is that the Guarantors guaranty payment of, and act as surety for, the obligations of the Borrowers arising out of the Credit Agreement and related agreements and instruments.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, agree as follows:
1. Guaranty and Suretyship.
1.1 Guaranty of Payment. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree to act as surety for the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in Section 1.2 below), and irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to the Lender that the Guaranteed Obligations shall be paid in full when due and payable, whether at the stated or accelerated maturity thereof or upon any mandatory prepayment or otherwise.
1.2 Definition of “Guaranteed Obligations”. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” shall mean any “Obligations” as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, the Obligations of any other Borrower. Notwithstanding the definition of “Guaranteed Obligations” herein, the liability of each Guarantor hereunder is limited to an amount equal to (x) the amount that would render this guaranty void, voidable, or unenforceable against such Guarantor’s
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
creditors or creditors’ representatives under any applicable fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, or similar act, or under Section 544 or 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended, minus (y) $1.00.
1.3 Obligations of Guarantors Absolute, Etc. Except as provided in Section 7 hereof, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional. The Guarantors jointly and severally guarantee that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any such terms or the rights of the Lender with respect thereto. The liability of
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby waives all rights, claims or defenses that it might otherwise have (now or in the future) with respect to (whether or not such Guarantor has knowledge thereof):
(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Guaranteed Obligations;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(c) any amendment or modification of or supplement to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any amendment which would increase the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations) or any furnishing or acceptance of any security, or any release of any security or the release of any Person’s obligations (including without limitation, any Guarantor, any Borrower or any Grantor (as defined in the Security Agreement)), with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations;
(d) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of any such instrument, document or agreement or any exercise or nonexercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect of any such instrument by the Lender;
(e) any counterclaim, setoff, recoupment or defense based upon any claim any Guarantor, any Borrower or any Grantor may have against the Lender (other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than any contingent obligations));
(f) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower, any Affiliate of the Borrowers or the Guarantors or their respective properties or creditors;
(g) any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any term hereof or of the Loan Documents;
(h) any failure on the part of the Borrowers, any Affiliate of the Borrowers or any Person that may have been an Affiliate of the Borrowers for any reason to perform or comply with any term of the Loan Documents;
(i) any settlement, compromise, release, or discharge of, or acceptance or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or any substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations, or any subordination of the Guaranteed Obligations to any other Obligations; or
(j) any other occurrence whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing (other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than any contingent obligations)).
Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Guarantor under applicable law, including, without limitation, California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2849, 2850, 2855, 2899 and 3433.
1.4 Continuing Guaranty. This guaranty and suretyship is an absolute, unconditional, present and continuing guaranty and suretyship of payment and performance and is in no way conditional or contingent; it shall remain in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to Section 7 below.

1.5 Joint and Several Liability. Each and every representation, warranty, covenant and agreement made by the Guarantors, or any of them, under this Agreement shall be and constitute joint and several obligations of all of the Guarantors, whether or not so expressly stated herein.
1.6 Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) all presentments, demands for performance, notice of non-performance, protests, notices of protests and notices of dishonor in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto; (b) notice of acceptance of this Agreement; (c) any requirement of diligence or promptness on the part of the Lender in the enforcement of its rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents; (d) any enforcement of any present or future agreement or instrument relating directly or indirectly to the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) notice of any of the matters referred to in Section 1.3 hereof; (f) notices of every kind and description which may be required to be given by any statute or rule of Law; and (g) any suretyship defenses, defenses based on impairment of collateral or any other defense of any kind which it may now or hereafter have with respect to its liability under this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by Law (other than payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than any contingent obligations)). Without limiting the foregoing, the Lender shall not be required to make any demand upon, or to pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies against the Borrowers, the Guarantors or any other Person, or against the Collateral, for the Guaranteed Obligations. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by Law. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that it will not enforce or otherwise exercise or claim or assert any rights of subrogation or contribution against any Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor unless and until all the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations so long as no claim or demand for indemnification then exists or has then been made) are paid in full.
2. Expenses.
Without limiting or duplicating any other cost reimbursement provisions in the Loan Documents but subject to the limitations set forth in Article III, clause (c) of the Credit Agreement, the Guarantors and the Borrowers shall promptly pay (or reimburse, as the Lender may elect) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses which the Lender has incurred or may incur in connection with the negotiation, preparation, reproduction, interpretation, administration and enforcement of this Agreement and all amendments, waivers, modifications and supplements hereto and the collection of all amounts due hereunder.
3. Representations and Warranties.
Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that each of the representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents as they relate to such Guarantor is hereby incorporated herein by reference and is true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein) on and as of the date hereof (except for representations and warranties that expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date); provided, that each such reference in each such representation and warranty to any Borrower’s Knowledge shall, for purposes of this Section 3, be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor’s Knowledge.
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
4. Covenants.
Each of the covenants and agreements of the Borrowers which are set forth or incorporated in any of the Loan Documents and which are expressly applicable or otherwise refer to the Loan Parties are hereby incorporated by reference as though set forth herein in their entirety, and each Guarantor hereby agrees to perform and abide by each such covenant and agreement which purports to be applicable to it.
5. Additional Parties.
Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, Parent shall at all times constitute the owner of 99.8% of the equity interests of iPass SPV. Any Person that becomes a Subsidiary of Parent (other than a Foreign Holdco or CFC) after the date hereof shall become a Guarantor hereunder, and Parent shall cause such Person to signify its acceptance of the terms hereof by execution and delivery to the Lender of one or more counterparts of the Joinder hereto, appropriately dated.
6. Right of Set-off.
Pursuant to the Security Agreement, each Guarantor granted a security interest in the Collateral (as defined therein) as security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Lender to apply any such deposit balances now or hereafter in the possession of the Lender to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. The provisions hereof shall not be deemed or construed to limit rights of set-off or liens or similar rights which the Lender may otherwise have by reason of applicable Law or other agreement. The Lender agrees to notify the Guarantors promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
7. Termination of Guaranty.
7.1 Termination of Guaranty Obligations of Guarantors. At such time as all the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and/or performed in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations so long as no claim or demand for indemnification then exists or has then been made), then the guaranty provided for herein and this Agreement shall terminate automatically without the delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, provided, however, that (i) all indemnities of the Guarantors or the Borrowers contained in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall survive and remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement, and (ii) the guaranty provided for herein shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
8. Miscellaneous.
8.1 Specific Performance. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Borrowers and Guarantors hereby authorize the Lender to demand specific performance of this Agreement at any time when such Borrower or such Guarantor shall have failed to comply with any provision hereof, and the Borrowers and Guarantors hereby irrevocably waive any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at Law which might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance hereof in any action brought therefor.
8.2 Acknowledgement of Terms of Credit Agreement; Relationship to Credit Agreement. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges receipt from the Borrowers of a correct and complete
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
copy of the Credit Agreement and consents to all of the provisions of the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date of this Agreement and agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Credit Agreement, its consent is not required for any amendments, modifications, restatements or waivers of the Credit Agreement or any of the provisions thereof. If any of the terms hereof are inconsistent with those of the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, any amendments, restatements, supplements and waivers that the Guarantors have been made aware of), those of the Credit Agreement shall control.
8.3 Non-Exclusive Remedies. No remedy or right herein conferred upon, or reserved to the Lender is intended to be to the exclusion of any other remedy or right, but each and every such remedy or right shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy or right given hereunder or under any other contract or under law.
8.4 Delay and Non-Waiver. No delay or omission by the Lender to exercise any remedy or right hereunder shall impair any such remedy or right or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default, right or remedy, or an acquiescence therein, nor shall it affect any subsequent Event of Default of the same or of a different nature. Every right and remedy may be exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed appropriate by the Lender.
8.5 Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, the Lender may assign or transfer this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder in connection with an assignment of its interests under (and in accordance with the terms of) the Credit Agreement without the consent of any Borrower or any Guarantor and without prior notice. No Guarantor shall assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender or as expressly provided in the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there should be any assignment of any rights or obligations by operation of Law or in contravention of the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, then all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein or pursuant hereto by or on behalf of any Guarantor shall bind the successors and assigns of such Person, jointly and severally (if applicable), together with the Guarantors, whether or not such new or additional Persons execute a joinder hereto or assumption hereof (without the same being deemed a waiver of any default caused thereby) which condition shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default arising out of such assignment. The rights and privileges of the Lender under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of its successors, assigns and participants. All promises, covenants and agreements of any Guarantor contained in this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of such Person.

8.8 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
8.9 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an

constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Lender and when the Lender shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signature of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or by e-mail (in .pdf form) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
8.10 Severability. Every provision of this Agreement is intended to be severable. If any term or provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired thereby. Any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction or as against any Guarantor shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other terms hereof or in any other jurisdiction or against any Guarantor.
9. Indemnification.
Each Guarantor shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless all Indemnitees from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, and related expenses, of any kind or nature, (including the reasonable fees relating to the cost of investigating and defending any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee in any way related to or arising from or alleged to arise from this Agreement, the Collateral or the guarantees provided herein except any such losses, claims, liabilities, damages, and related expenses which result from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee as determined by a final nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) a claim brought by a Guarantor against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder, if the Grantor has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This indemnification provision is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other indemnification provision in any other Loan Document.
10. [Reserved]

Document shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral against the Guarantors or their properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

Within the earlier of (i) three (3) Business Days and (ii) the number of Business Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer, unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2.3 below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise.
(k) No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise form be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Business Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall reduce the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder by the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this Section 2.1(c), following the exercise of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
2.2 Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $[·], subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).

As an alternative, on or after the Issue Date and on or before the Termination Date, this Warrant may be exercised by Notice of Exercise, in whole or in part, by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (X)((A)-(B)), by (A), calculated as of the Exercise Date, where:
(A) = the Market Price, calculated as of the close of the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exercise Date, as set forth in the applicable Notice of Exercise;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X) = the total number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2.3. In no event will the Holder be required to pay any Exercise Price for the Warrant in the event the Holder has elected to make a cashless exercise of the Warrant. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances by exercised pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall the Company be required to settle any exercises of this Warrant by cash payment or to otherwise “net cash settle” this Warrant.
Notwithstanding whether a Notice of Exercise is received on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised for any remaining Warrant Shares via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 2.3.
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
2.4 Mechanics of Exercise.
(l) Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise.
(i) Warrant Shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by either: (A) crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (1) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (2) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, or (B) delivery of a physical certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise, to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise, in each case by the date that is the earlier of three (3) Business Days and the number of Business Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”).
(ii) Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (A) three (3) Business Days and (B) the number of Business Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable (the “Transfer Agent”).
(m) Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of the Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unexercised Warrant Shares remaining under this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.
(n) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2.4(a) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right, in the Holder’s sole discretion, to rescind such exercise.
(o) No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder,
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
(p) Closing of Books. The Company will not close its shareholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments and Rights.
3.1 Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (a) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (b) subdivides outstanding Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (d) issues by reclassification of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
3.2 Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3.1 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
3.3 Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of its Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.

obligations of the Company under this Warrant pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder, including agreements to deliver to each Holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a written instrument issued by the successor entity substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, an adjusted Exercise Price equal to the value for the shares of Common Stock reflected by the terms of such Fundamental Transaction, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and satisfactory to the Holder and (ii) if the successor entity is not a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, the successor entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant pursuant to written agreements that provide the Holder substantially the same rights as provided to the Holder hereunder, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Warrants in exchange for such Warrants a written instrument issued by the successor entity substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant exercisable for the consideration that would have been issuable in the Fundamental Transaction in respect of the Warrant Shares had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction; provided that so long as the Term Loans (as defined under the Credit Agreement) remain outstanding, such written instrument shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.

The security interest of Lender in any of the Collateral that is not represented by a Certificate, if any, shall be perfected by the filing of a financing statement or statements as hereinafter provided.
3. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures the payment of all the Obligations. The security interest and Lien created hereby shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations so long as no claim or demand for indemnification then exists or has then been made). Promptly following payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations so long as no claim or demand for indemnification then exists or has then been made), the documents, including any pledged Certificates held by Lender, shall be returned to Pledgor, the security interest and Lien created hereby shall cease and terminate and this Agreement shall be deemed terminated without further liability on the part of any party to the other.
4. Pledgor hereby collaterally assigns the Voting Rights to Lender, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(v) Except following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Pledgor may, in its sole discretion, exercise the Voting Rights, provided that Pledgor shall not exercise the Voting Rights in a manner which would be inconsistent with or result in a violation of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, all rights of Pledgor to exercise the Voting Rights shall cease and Lender shall have the right to exercise, directly or through its nominees or proxies, all Voting Rights assigned to it hereunder, and Lender shall exercise such Voting Rights in such manner as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem to be in Lender’s best interests (subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents). Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Pledgor shall effect the directions of Lender in connection with any such exercise in accordance with this Agreement.
(w) In connection with Lender’s exercise of the Voting Rights, Pledgor shall take no action inconsistent with (i) Issuer’s reliance on a notice from Lender stating that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under any Loan Document, in which event no further direction from Pledgor shall be required to effect the assignment of Voting Rights hereunder from Pledgor to Lender or (ii) Issuer immediately permitting Lender to exercise all of the Voting Rights in respect of the business and affairs of Issuer. If Lender provides Pledgor and Issuer with written notice that the applicable Event of Default has been waived (and evidence of such waiver), Pledgor shall regain all of its rights to exercise the Voting Rights.
(x) Pledgor acknowledges that, except for this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, it has not entered into, and it is not bound by the terms of, any agreement or understanding, whether oral or written, with respect to the purchase, sale, transfer or voting of any Voting Rights.
5. Pledgor makes the following representations, covenants and warranties to Lender, and agrees with Lender, as follows:
(y) Pledgor has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the Formation Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
(z) This Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Pledgor, and is enforceable as to Pledgor in accordance with its terms, subject, however, to bankruptcy, insolvency and other rights of creditors generally and to general principles of equity.
(aa) The execution, delivery, observance and performance by Pledgor of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any violation of the Formation Agreement or, to Pledgor’s knowledge, of any constitutional provision, law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to it or of any judgment, decree or order applicable to it and will not conflict with, or cause a breach of, or default under, any such term or, except for the Liens created or contemplated hereby, result in the creation of any mortgage Lien, pledge, charge or encumbrance upon any of its properties or assets pursuant to any such term.
(bb) Except for the filing of an appropriate financing statement, it is not necessary for Pledgor to obtain or make any (i) governmental consent, approval or authorization, registration or filing from or with any governmental authorities or (ii) consent, approval, waiver or notification of partners, creditors, lessors or other nongovernmental Persons, in each case, in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions herein presently contemplated which has not been filed or obtained.
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(cc) Pledgor is as of the date hereof (i) the owner of ninety-nine and eight-tenths percent (99.8%) of the Equity Interests in Issuer (and acknowledges that Lender is the owner of the remaining one-fifth percent (0.2%) of the Equity Interests interests in Issuer), and Pledgor further represents and agrees that Lender shall not be deemed to be an insider, or in control of, or in any way subject to any doctrine of equitable subordination, by reason of Lender’s ownership of Equity Interests in Issuer or under any of the Loan Documents or the ownership by any Affiliate of Lender of any general partnership interest in Issuer and (ii) the sole owner of all direct beneficial interests in the Collateral. Pledgor owns the Collateral, and the Collateral is and shall remain, free and clear of any Lien, mortgage, encumbrance, charge, pledge, security interest, or claim of any kind (including any unconditional sale or other title retention agreement) other than as created or permitted by this Agreement or the Loan Documents.
(dd) The Equity Interests are, and Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts ensure at all times that such Equity Interests remain, “securities” within the meaning of the UCC and, in particular, the Equity Interests that are represented by a Certificate or Certificates are “certificated securities” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(4) of the UCC. Pledgor shall take no action that would result in any Equity Interests not remaining “securities” within the meaning of the UCC and, in particular, the Equity Interests that are represented by a Certificate or Certificates remaining “certified securities” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(4) of the UCC. Pledgor has taken all steps necessary to afford Lender “control” of such Equity Interests within the meaning of the UCC.
(ee) Upon Lender obtaining and maintaining possession of the Certificates identified on Schedule 1 attached hereto and the filing of a UCC financing statement adequately describing the Collateral in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (such state being the state of Pledgor’s formation), all steps necessary to create and perfect the security interest created by this Agreement as a valid and continuing first priority Lien on, and first priority perfected (assuming Lender’s possession of the Certificates and filing of the financing statements referenced above) security interest in, the Collateral, in favor of Lender, prior to all other Liens, security interests and other claims of any sort whatsoever other than Permitted Liens, have been taken. Pledgor has not granted a security interest in the Collateral to any other party, and the security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement in the Collateral constitutes a valid, perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral, enforceable as such against all creditors of, and purchasers from, Pledgor, other than Permitted Liens.
(ff) Neither Pledgor nor, to Pledgor’s knowledge, Issuer has changed its name, or used, adopted or discontinued the use of any trade name, fictitious name or other trade name or trade style.
(gg) Pledgor will not change its name in any manner that could make any financing or continuation statement filed hereunder seriously misleading within the meaning of Section 9-507(c) of the UCC (or any other then-applicable provision of the UCC) without fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Lender or as otherwise permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement.
(hh) Pledgor shall perform all of its obligations under the Formation Agreement.
(ii) The Collateral is not subject to any adverse claim, Lien, security interest or encumbrance whatsoever, except for Permitted Liens.
(jj) Pledgor will warrant and defend Lender’s right, title, priority, Lien and security interest in and on the Collateral against the claims and demands of all Persons whosoever.
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
(kk) There is no action or proceeding pending, or to the knowledge of Pledgor, threatened which in any way could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect upon (i) the rights of Lender under this Agreement; (ii) Pledgor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder, (iii) the title to the Collateral; (iv) the validity or priority of the security interest and Lien in and on the Collateral created hereunder; (v) Pledgor; or (vi) Issuer.
(ll) Pledgor shall not make (or enter into any agreement to make) or suffer (i) any sale, transfer, exchange, leasing or assignment of all or any part of the Collateral, (ii) any further pledge, mortgage or encumbrance of all or any part of the Collateral; or (iii) any further Lien upon or security interest in all or any part of the Collateral, except, in each case, as specifically permitted under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents.
(mm) Pledgor, without cost or expense to Lender, shall execute, deliver, file and record such further agreements, instruments and documents as Lender may reasonably require, including financing statements covering the Collateral and amendments thereto, to perfect and protect the security interest and Lien created and granted herein, and hereby irrevocably authorizes Lender to execute, in the name of Pledgor, any such agreements, instruments and documents and to file and record the same; and Lender is authorized to file one or more financing statements covering the Collateral.
(nn) If at any time while any of the Obligations remain outstanding, (i) Pledgor directly or indirectly comes into possession of any Certificates for any purpose or (ii) renewals of, substitutions for, replacements for or amendments to the Certificates are delivered to Pledgor, then in any such event Pledgor shall, without notice or demand from Lender, immediately deliver the same or cause them to be delivered to Lender, and the same shall also constitute the Certificates, as the case may be, hereunder. Any and all certificates or instruments at any time representing or evidencing any of the Collateral shall be immediately delivered to and held by or on behalf of Lender pursuant hereto, and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment, duly executed in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Subject to the requirements of applicable law (including the UCC) and the limitations provided in this Agreement, Lender shall have the right, at any time, following the occurrence of an Event of Default to transfer to or to register in the name of Lender or its nominee any Collateral, and, to the full extent permitted by law, Pledgor waives all rights under applicable law inconsistent with the rights granted to Lender in this sentence. In addition, Lender shall have the right at any time to exchange Certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Collateral for Certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
(oo) In case, upon the dissolution or liquidation (in whole or in part) of Issuer, any sum shall be paid as a liquidating dividend or otherwise upon or with respect to any of the Collateral, such sum shall be paid over to Lender to be held by Lender as additional Collateral hereunder;
(pp) Issuer is a limited liability company organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property.
(qq) Without limiting or duplicating any other cost reimbursement provisions in the Loan Documents but subject to the limitations set forth in Article III, clause (c) of the Credit Agreement, promptly and not later than ten (10) days after written demand therefor, Pledgor shall pay to the Lender the amount of any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Lender hereunder or in connection herewith, including, without limitation those that may be incurred in connection with (i) the
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
preparation of this agreement and all amendments, restatements, waivers and supplements hereto, (ii) the administration of this Agreement, (iii) the custody or preservation of, or the
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, or (iv) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Lender hereunder.
6. Except following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Pledgor shall have the right to receive Distributions in respect of the Collateral. Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes Issuer, following the occurrence of an Event of Default to distribute, transfer, pay and deliver directly to Lender, and not to Pledgor, in accordance with that certain Consent of Issuer attached as Exhibit A and made a part hereof, any and all Distributions at such time and in such manner as such Distributions would otherwise be distributed, transferred, paid and delivered to Pledgor, for application in accordance with this Agreement. If, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Pledgor receives any Distributions, Pledgor shall accept the same as Lender’s agent and hold the same in trust on behalf of and for the benefit of Lender and shall promptly deliver the same forthwith to Lender for application in accordance herewith, together with appropriate forms of assignment, UCC financing statements, and other appropriate instruments, if necessary, indicating the security interests of Lender in and to such Distribution. Pledgor authorizes and directs Lender to apply any Distributions received by Lender in the manner herein described.
7. The occurrence of an “Event of Default”, as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement, shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement.
8. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, in addition to any and all other rights it may have under the Credit Agreement, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the UCC, and otherwise at law or in equity, (a) to apply any cash that it received and retained as additional Collateral pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, to the payment of the Obligations; (b) to credit bid and purchase (as determined by Lender in its sole discretion but in all cases subject to applicable law) all or any portion of the Collateral; and (c) to sell, assign and deliver at one or more times, all or any part of the Collateral at public or private sale, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, with or without advertisement of the time, place or terms of sale and in connection therewith to grant options and to use the services of a broker, all of the foregoing as Lender may elect in its sole discretion but in all cases subject to applicable law, except that, if the sale be a private sale, ten (10) days’ written notice shall be given to Pledgor of the date, time and place of any sale and the terms of the sale, which notice Pledgor agrees is reasonable, all other demands, advertisements and notices being hereby waived. Any sale shall be free of any and all equity or right of redemption, which Pledgor hereby waives and releases. At any sale, Lender, or its designee, may purchase the Collateral being sold, including pursuant to a credit bid and purchase or similar offset of any amounts due and owing to Lender by Pledgor, in each case if and to the extent so permitted by applicable law. Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of all or any part of the Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given. Lender may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time, and Lender may adjourn such sale (private or public) by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. If any of the Collateral is sold by Lender upon credit or for future delivery, Lender shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of such failure, Lender may resell such Collateral. In no event shall Pledgor be credited with any part of the proceeds of sale of any Collateral until cash payment thereof has actually been received by Lender. Any sale conducted upon the foregoing terms or by any other method of sale (if conducted in conformity with practices of any lenders disposing of similar securities or otherwise in accordance with the UCC) shall be deemed commercially reasonable. Pledgor agrees that Lender shall have the right to continue to retain the Collateral until such time as Lender, in its reasonable judgment, believes that an advantageous price can be obtained for the Collateral and Lender shall not be liable to Pledgor for any loss in the value of the Collateral by reason of any such retention of the Collateral by Lender. Lender shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, as if such rights and remedies were fully set forth herein, and any rights and
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
remedies of a secured party under any version of the UCC in effect in any applicable jurisdiction in which such rights or remedies are sought to be enforced. To the full extent permitted by law, Pledgor waives all rights under applicable law inconsistent with the rights granted Lender in this Section 8. In addition to the remedies set forth in the foregoing, Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, in addition to any and all other rights it may have under the Credit Agreement, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the UCC, and otherwise at law or in equity, to sell, assign and deliver at one or more times, all or any part of the Collateral at public or private sale, in each case pursuant to the terms set forth in the Security Agreement or any other Loan Document.
9. In addition to the remedies set forth herein, following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may succeed, or designate one or more nominees(s) to succeed, to all right, title and interest of Pledgor (including any Voting Rights with respect to the Equity Interests) as a member, shareholder or partner of Issuer, as applicable, relating to the Equity Interests acquired. Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes Issuer upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (a) to deem and treat Lender or its nominee in all respects as a member, shareholder or partner, as applicable (and not merely an assignee of a member, shareholder or partner, as applicable), of Issuer entitled to exercise all the rights, powers and privileges (including the right to vote on or take any action with respect to any and all membership, shareholder or partnership matters, as applicable, pursuant to the Formation Agreement), to receive all Distributions, to be credited with the capital account and to have all other rights, powers and privileges appertaining to such membership, shareholder or partnership interests, as applicable, to which Pledgor would have been entitled had Pledgor’s membership, shareholder or partnership interests, as applicable, not been transferred to Lender or such nominee; (b) to execute amendments to the Formation Agreement admitting Lender or such nominee as a member, shareholder or partner, as applicable, in place of Pledgor; and (c) to issue the membership, shareholder or partnership certificate(s), as applicable, in the name of Lender or its nominee, with respect to each of the Equity Interests represented by a Certificate or Certificates.
10. Pledgor agrees that Lender and its officers, agents and attorneys shall incur no liability to Pledgor or Issuer in the event that Lender (a) transfers the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and in compliance with applicable law, including the UCC or (b) refuses to effect any transfer of the Collateral attempted to be made by Pledgor without any consent or approval of Lender required by the terms hereof, and Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify Lender against, and to hold Lender harmless from, any and all expenses, liabilities and damages incurred or sustained by reason of its acts or omissions, as aforesaid, in each case except if and to the extent that Lender’s acts or omissions constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.
11. Effective upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Pledgor hereby appoints Lender as Pledgor’s attorney in fact coupled with an interest for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof.
12. The remedies provided herein in favor of Lender shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to all other remedies in favor of Lender existing at law or in equity.
13. In exercising its remedies hereunder, Lender may be unable to sell the Equity Interests publicly without registering them under the Securities Laws, which would likely be an expensive and time consuming undertaking and, in fact, one that might be impossible to accomplish even if Lender were willing to invest the necessary time and money. Even though Lender may be able to register the Equity Interests under the Securities Laws, it may nonetheless regard such registration as too expensive or too time consuming (such determination to be made in Lender’s sole discretion). If Lender sells the Equity
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Interests without registration, Lender may be required to sell them only in private sales to a restricted group of offerees and purchasers who fulfill certain suitability standards and who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire the Equity Interests for their own account for investment and not with a view to distributing or reselling them. Pledgor acknowledges that such a private sale may result in less favorable prices and other terms than a public sale. Pledgor agrees that a private sale, even under these restrictive conditions, will not be considered commercially unreasonable solely by virtue of the fact that Lender has not registered or sought to register the Equity Interests under the Securities Laws, even if Pledgor or Issuer agrees to pay all costs of the registration process.
14. Pledgor is aware that Section 9-610 of the UCC states that Lender is able to purchase the Equity Interests if they are sold at a public sale. Pledgor is also aware that SEC staff personnel have, over a period of years, issued various No Action Letters that describe procedures which, in the view of the SEC staff, permit a foreclosure sale of securities to occur in a manner that is public for purposes of Part 6 of Article 9 of the UCC, yet not public for purposes of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Pledgor is also aware that Lender may wish to purchase the Equity Interests that are sold at a foreclosure sale, and Pledgor believes that such purchases would be appropriate in circumstances in which the Equity Interests are sold in conformity with the principles set forth in the No Action Letters. Pledgor specifically agrees that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in the No Action Letters (a) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of Section 9-610 of the UCC; (b) will not be considered commercially unreasonable solely by virtue of the fact that Lender has not registered or sought to register the Equity Interests under the Securities Laws, even if Pledgor agrees or Issuer agrees to pay all costs of the registration process; and (c) will not be considered commercially unreasonable solely by virtue that Lender purchases the Equity Interests at such a sale.
15. Pledgor agrees that Lender shall have no general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Equity Interests sold by Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including sales made to Lender). Lender may, in its discretion, among other things, accept the first offer received, or decide to approach or not to approach any potential purchasers.
16. Pledgor shall use all reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts and things (except that Pledgor shall not be obligated to register any Equity Interests under the Securities Laws) as may be reasonably necessary to make any sale or sales of Equity Interests valid and binding and in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, orders, writs, injunctions, decrees or awards of any and all courts, arbitrators or governmental instrumentalities, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over any such sale or sales, all at Pledgor’s expense.
17. Pledgor shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless all Indemnitees from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, and related expenses, of any kind or nature, (including the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees relating to the cost of investigating and defending any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee in any way related to or arising from or alleged to arise from this Agreement or the Collateral, except any such losses, claims, liabilities, damages, and related expenses which result from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee as determined by a final nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) a claim brought by Pledgor against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if Pledgor has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This indemnification provision is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other indemnification provision in any other Loan Document.
18. In no event shall Lender be liable to Pledgor for any matter or thing in connection with this Agreement other than to account for monies actually received by Lender in accordance with the terms
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
hereof and any state of facts determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to be caused by Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection therewith. Lender shall not be liable for failure to collect or realize upon the Obligations or any collateral security or guarantee therefor, or any part thereof, or for any delay in so doing nor be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Formation Agreement and the Credit Agreement, any part or all of the Collateral held by Lender may, without notice, be transferred into the name of Lender or its nominee, and Lender or its nominee may thereafter, without notice, exercise all Voting Rights and other rights in respect of the Collateral, including the exercise of any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options in respect of the Collateral, as if it were the absolute owner thereof, all without liability except to account for property actually received by Lender or its nominee; provided, however, that Lender or its nominee shall have no duty to exercise any of the foregoing actions, or any liability for failure to do so or for delay in so doing. Lender shall not be liable for the consequence of any Voting Rights cast or given by Lender in accordance with this Agreement, except for any such liability resulting solely from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, and except to the extent caused by Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), Lender shall have no liability to Pledgor with respect to the receipt and application by Lender of Distributions, the holding by Lender of any Collateral pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or Lender’s taking, or failure to take, any action (including the obtaining of insurance) with respect to any Collateral.
19. Lender shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon or as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto, beyond the safe custody of any Collateral actually in its possession.
20. No delay on the part of Lender in exercising any of its options, powers or rights, or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof.
21. Except as prohibited by statute, the respective parties hereto shall, and hereby do, waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by any of the parties hereto against the other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, the Collateral or the relationship created hereby, and with respect to any matter for which a jury trial cannot be waived, Pledgor agrees not to assert any such claim as a counterclaim in, or move to consolidate the same with, any action or proceeding.
22. All notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered or mailed in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement addressed to the Lender at the address specified in the Credit Agreement, and to Pledgor at the address designed for “Loan Parties” set forth in the Credit Agreement.
23. 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 contingent indemnification obligations so long as no claim or demand for indemnification then exists or has then been made) have been paid in full and satisfied.
24. Solely with respect to Article 8 Matters, Pledgor hereby irrevocably grants and appoints Lender, from the date of this Agreement until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, as Pledgor’s true and lawful proxy, for and in Pledgor’s name, place and stead, to vote the Equity Interests, whether directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, now owned or hereafter acquired, with respect to such Article 8 Matters. The proxy granted and appointed in this Section 24 shall include the
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
right to sign Pledgor’s name (as a member, shareholder or partner of Issuer, as applicable) to any consent, certificate or other document relating to an Article 8 Matter and the Equity Interests that applicable law may permit or require to cause the Equity Interests to be voted in accordance with the preceding sentence. Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that there are no other proxies and powers of attorney with respect to an Article 8 Matter and the Equity Interests that Pledgor has granted or appointed. Pledgor will not give a subsequent proxy or power of attorney or enter into any other voting agreement with respect to the Equity Interests with respect to any Article 8 Matter, and any attempt to do so with respect to an Article 8 Matter shall be void and of no effect. The proxies and powers granted by Pledgor pursuant to this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are given to secure the performance of the Pledgor’s Obligations, including the performance and observance of all of Pledgor’s obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement.
25. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations so long as no claim or demand for indemnification then exists or has then been made) and all other amounts payable under this Agreement and any other Loan Document; (b) be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Pledgor and Pledgor’s successors and assigns; and (c) inure to the benefit of, be enforceable by, and be binding upon Lender and Lender’s heirs, executors, legal representatives, and successors and permitted assigns. Except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, the Lender may assign or transfer this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder in connection with an assignment of its interest under (and in accordance with the terms of) the Credit Agreement without the consent of Pledgor and without prior notice to any successor. Pledgor shall not assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Lender or as expressly provided in the Credit Agreement.
26. Nothing herein shall be deemed (a) to be a waiver of any right that Lender may have under the Bankruptcy Code or the bankruptcy laws of any state to file a claim for the then outstanding amount of the Loan or to require that all of the Collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations; (b) to impair the validity of the Loan, the other Loan Documents or any other document or instrument delivered to Lender in connection therewith; or (c) to impair the right of Lender to commence an action to foreclose any Lien or security interest in connection with the exercise of its remedies hereunder. Nothing herein shall be deemed (i) to be a waiver of any right that Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the indebtedness of the Loan and other amounts due under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or to require that all of the Collateral shall continue to secure the Obligations or (ii) to impair Lender’s rights to credit bid, under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, which rights are fully preserved.
27. Pledgor shall from time to time, at its expense, promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) all further instruments and agreements, and take all further actions, that may be reasonably necessary or appropriate, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect or protect any collateral assignment, pledge or security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Lender to exercise or enforce its rights and remedies hereunder.
28. All pronouns and any variation thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, and singular or plural, as the identity of the Person or Persons may require. The term “Pledgor” shall mean “Pledgors” if more than one person is Pledgor, and in such event, the obligations of Pledgor shall be joint and several.
29. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, upon payment and performance in full of Pledgor’s Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations so long as no claim or demand for indemnification then exists or has then
[***] = Certain confidential information contained in this document, marked by brackets, is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
been made), all of Lender’s security interests in and rights to the Collateral shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Pledgor.
