(ii) all amounts then due in accordance with the Fee Letter, plus

(iii) all other sums, if any, that shall have become due and payable, including interest at the Default Rate with respect to any past due amounts.

(e) Conversion at Lenders’ Election.

(i) Conversion Election. Lenders may jointly elect at any time and from time to time after the Closing Date prior to the payment in full of the Loans to convert any portion of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding (the “Conversion Amount”) into shares of Common Stock (“Conversion Shares”) at the applicable Conversion Price pursuant to a Conversion Election Notice, to be delivered at the direction of Lenders according to the Conversion Election Notice delivered to Borrower Representative. A Conversion Election Notice, once delivered, shall be irrevocable unless otherwise agreed in writing by Borrower

Representative, provided that if transfer agent for the Borrower’s Common Stock is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and provided that the applicable Designated Holder is eligible to receive Conversion Shares through DTC and the restrictive legend has been removed from such Conversion Shares in accordance with Section 2.2(g)(xi), credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system. On the third trading day after a Conversion Election Notice has been duly delivered in accordance with the foregoing, Borrower Representative shall cause the transfer agent to credit to each Designated Holder a number of Conversion Shares equal to (x) the Conversion Amount indicated in the applicable Conversion Election Notice divided by (y) applicable Conversion Price (except to the extent such Conversion Shares shall be delivered on the Excess Share Delivery Date in accordance with Section 2.2(f)(iii)). If more than one Loan has been funded, Lenders shall be entitled to select, by indicating in the Conversion Election Notice which Loan Lenders elect to convert. Upon delivery of the Conversion Shares in accordance with the foregoing, the principal specified in the applicable Conversion Election Notice shall be deemed satisfied in full.

(f) Equity Repayment Election.

(i) Borrower Representative may elect to repay or prepay outstanding principal of the Loans and accrued interest and fees thereon, by delivering a number of shares of Common Stock (“Equity Repayment Shares”) equal to the sum of the amount to be repaid or prepaid multiplied by the applicable Equity Repayment Premium (such amount, the “Equity Repayment Amount”), divided by the Equity Repayment Price, pursuant to an Equity Repayment Election Notice, to be delivered to Administrative Agent by Borrower Representative fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Equity Repayment Date, provided that Lenders may by written notice to Borrower Representative (which may be included in the acknowledgement to the Equity Repayment Election Notice) elect to accelerate the Equity Repayment Date to a date not sooner than three (3) Business Days after the date such notice accelerating the Equity Repayment Date is duly given (and upon such election, such accelerated date shall be the “Equity Repayment Date”). Together with the Equity Repayment Election Notice, Borrower Representative shall deliver a certificate duly executed by a Responsible Officer attaching and certifying the calculation setting forth the Equity Repayment Price, confirming that the Equity Repayment Price is not less than the Equity Repayment Price Floor, and confirming that the Equity Repayment Conditions are satisfied, in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Borrower Representative shall cause each Designated Holder to be credited a number of Equity Repayment Shares equal to (x) the Equity Repayment Amount indicated in the applicable Equity Repayment Election Notice divided by (y) applicable Equity Repayment Price, rounded down to the next integral number of shares, provided that if the Equity Repayment Shares are not so delivered, the Equity Repayment Election Notice shall be deemed void. If on or prior to the Equity Repayment Date, Borrower Representative determines that the Equity Repayment Conditions are not met, it shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and the Equity Repayment Election Notice shall be deemed withdrawn. Upon delivery of the Equity Repayment Shares in accordance with the foregoing the principal and accrued interest and fees thereon specified in the applicable Equity Repayment Election Notice shall be deemed satisfied in full, provided that in the event more than one tranche of Term Loans is outstanding, any Equity Repayment shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of such outstanding Term Loans as designated by Administrative Agent.

(6) (x) A Registration Statement with respect to the Equity Repayment Shares is effective; there is no stop order suspending effectiveness of the Registration Statement issued, and no proceedings for that purpose have been initiated or threatened by the SEC or any other Governmental Authority or (y) any of the Unrestricted Conditions shall be met, in either case, at the Equity Repayment Date.

(ii) To the extent a Conversion Election Notice is delivered following delivery of an Equity Repayment Election Notice and prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the related Equity Repayment Date, if the Conversion Amount specified in the Conversion Election Notice is equal to or greater than the principal amount set forth in the Equity Repayment Election Notice, the Equity Repayment Election Notice shall be deemed withdrawn, and if the Conversion Amount specified in the Conversion Election Notice is less than the principal amount set forth in the Equity Repayment Election Notice, the principal amount set forth in the Equity Repayment Election Notice shall be deemed reduced by the principal amount specified in the Conversion Election Notice, subject to the Equity Repayment Conditions. In the event the Equity Repayment Condition described in clause (ii) above is not met due to possession of Material Nonpublic Information on the Equity Repayment Date, Borrower Representative may, at its election by written notice to Administrative Agent, extend the Equity Repayment Date to a date that is four full trading days after the date such Material Nonpublic Information is publicly disclosed by issuing a press release and filing a Current Report on Form 8-K attaching the press release as an exhibit (such notice, an “MNPI Equity Repayment Date Extension Notice”). Such notice shall state that it is an MNPI Equity Repayment Date Extension Notice and state the extended Equity Repayment Date.

(iii) To the extent delivery of Equity Repayment Shares pursuant to an Equity Repayment would result in the 9.985% Cap being exceeded (any such shares in excess of the 9.985% Cap, the “Excess Shares”), Borrower Representative may elect (such election, the “Excess Share Deferred Delivery Election”) to include in the applicable Equity Repayment Election Notice, an Equity Repayment Amount that would result in the delivery of Excess Shares on the following terms and subject to the following conditions and limitations (the “Excess Share Delivery Conditions”):

(1) The number of Excess Shares that may be included pursuant to an Excess Share Deferred Delivery Election shall not exceed 3.5% of the total number of Common Stock then issued and outstanding;

(2) The Excess Shares shall be delivered on a date that is 91 days after the Equity Repayment Date is given (or on the Business Day immediately succeeding such 91st day if such 91st day is not a Business Day), provided that upon written notice by Lenders, the delivery date for such Excess Shares may be accelerated to a date that is 61 days after the date such notice (or on the Business Day immediately succeeding such 61st day if such 61st day is not a Business Day) to accelerate the delivery date is duly given (such date, the “Excess Share Delivery Date”);

(3) Borrower Representative shall be entitled to make an Excess Share Deferred Delivery Election: (x) not more than once in any consecutive six (6) month period, and (y) only if at the time of such election, the Lowest Trailing Three-Day VWAP of the shares of Common Stock then held by Designated Holders during the 30-day period prior to the date the Equity Repayment Election Notice is delivered is greater than 150% of the weighted cost basis of such shares of Common Stock (as confirmed by Lenders).

(4) The number of Equity Repayment Shares delivered on the Equity Repayment Date and the portion of the Equity Repayment Shares constituting Excess Shares to be delivered on the Excess Share Delivery Date shall be confirmed two (2) trading days prior to the Equity Repayment Date by Borrower Representative after consultation with Lenders; and

(5) If an Excess Share Deferred Delivery Election is made, Lenders may, by delivering a Conversion Election Notice prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day immediately preceding the related Excess Share Delivery Date,, elect to instead convert the principal amount which would give rise to delivery of Excess Shares if satisfied by Equity Repayment , in which case, the Conversion Shares resulting from the conversion of such principal amount shall be delivered on the Excess Share Delivery Date.

(g) Additional Agreements Regarding Conversion and Equity Repayment.

(i) Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Borrower Representative shall not issue a number of Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 2.2(e) or Equity Repayment Shares pursuant to Section 2.2(f) to the extent that, upon such issuance, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by each Designated Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Designated Holders for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act would exceed 9.985% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “9.985% Cap”); provided that the 9.985% Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided further that Lenders shall have the right, upon 61 days’ prior written notice to Borrower Representative, to waive the 9.985% Cap.

(ii) Principal Market Regulation.

(1) Borrower Representative shall not issue a number of Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 2.2(e) or Equity Repayment Shares pursuant to Section 2.2(f), if the issuance of such shares would result in Designated Holders, together with their Affiliates and any other Persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Designated Holders’ for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, beneficially owning in excess more than 19.99% of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such issuance (the “19.99% Cap” and together with the 9.985% Cap, the “Beneficial Ownership Limits”).

(2) Borrower Representative shall not issue a number of Conversion Shares pursuant to Section 2.2(e) or Equity Repayment Shares pursuant to Section 2.2(f), if such issuance would result in the deemed issuance of Conversion Shares at an effective per share price, according to Nasdaq Rules, that is lower than the Minimum Price, as determined by Borrower Representative in good faith in accordance with the methodology set forth in Schedule 6.

(iii) Beneficial Ownership Determination. For purposes of this Section 2.2(g), the percentage held by each Designated Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of Administrative Agent, Borrower Representative shall, within two (2) trading days, confirm to the Administrative Agent the number of Shares then outstanding. Upon the written request of Borrower Representative, Administrative Agent shall, within two (2) trading days, confirm to the Borrower Representative the number of Shares held by each Designated Holder. As used herein, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. To the extent the Beneficial Ownership Limits would prevent the delivery of Conversion Shares or Equity Repayment Shares, Administrative Agent shall, prior to the date the Conversion Shares are due to be delivered in accordance with Section 2.2(e) or the Equity Repayment Shares are due to be delivered in accordance with Section 2.2(f)(i), as applicable, notify Borrower Representative of such circumstance and confirming the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by Designated Holders, and the Conversion Election Notice or Equity Repayment Election Notice, as applicable shall be amended to reflect the adjusted Conversion Amount or Equity Repayment Amount, or in case of an Equity Repayment, the Equity Repayment Election Notice may be amended to include an election to deliver Excess Shares subject to the Excess Share Delivery Conditions.

(iv) Certain Adjustments. If Borrower Representative declares or pays a dividend or distribution on the outstanding shares of Common Stock payable in Common Stock or other securities or property (other than cash), then upon any Lender Conversion or Equity Repayment, for each Conversion Share or Equity Repayment Share, as applicable, acquired, Designated Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Designated Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property which Designated Holder would have received had Designated Holder owned the Conversion Shares or Equity Repayment Shares, as applicable, of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred. Upon any event whereby all of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock are reclassified, converted, exchanged, combined, divided, substituted, or replaced for, into, with or by securities of a different class and/or series, then from and after the consummation of such event, the Conversion Shares or Equity Repayment Shares issuable will be the number, class and series of securities that Designated Holder would have

received had the Conversion Shares been outstanding on and as of the consummation of such event, and the Conversion Price, Equity Repayment Price, Minimum Price, Conversion Price Floor and Equity Repayment Price Floor each shall be adjusted accordingly. The provisions of this Section 2.2(g)(iv) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, exchanges, combinations substitutions, replacements or other similar events.

(v) No Fractional Shares. Upon conversion of the Conversion Amount into Conversion Shares, any fraction of a share will be rounded down to the next whole share of the Conversion Shares, and in lieu of such fractional shares to which the Designated Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Borrower Representative shall, at its option, either pay the Designated Holder cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price, or return such amount to principal under the Loan.

(vi) Reservation of Shares. Borrower Representative shall reserve from its duly authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock at all times a number of shares of Common Stock not less than the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issuable upon a Lender Conversion. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any delivery of a Conversion Election Notice there are insufficient authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of such Conversion Election Notice, then the applicable Lender may elect to void such Conversion Election Notice. Upon a Lender Conversion or Equity Repayment, the Conversion Shares or Equity Repayment Shares, as applicable, shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all preemptive or similar rights, taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof, and shall be free of any restrictions on transfer, except for any restrictions under Federal or state securities laws.

(vii) Rule 144. With a view to making available to Designated Holders the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that may at any time permit Designated Holders to sell shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to a Conversion Election Notice to the public without registration, as long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities (as defined on Schedule 4 hereto), Borrower Representative shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, until the later of (x) the Term Loan Maturity Date and (y) such time as all of the Conversion Shares and Equity Repayment Shares may be sold by the Designated Holders without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144 at any time without any volume or manner limitations: (i) make and keep current public information with respect to the Borrower Representative available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; and (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports and other documents required of Borrower Representative under Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act (other than Current Reports on Form 8-K).

(viii) Registration Rights. In connection with the issuance of any Conversion Shares or Equity Repayment Shares, Borrower Representative hereby grants to each Designated Holder registration rights on the terms set forth on Schedule 4.

(ix) Authorization. For so long as Designated Holders hold any Conversion Shares or Equity Repayment Shares, Borrower Representative shall maintain the Common Stock’s authorization for listing on a Trading Market and Borrower Representative shall not take any action which could reasonably be expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on such national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower Representative and any of its Subsidiaries may enter into any Change in Control transaction that results in the delisting of the Common Stock from any such national securities exchange, subject to the prior prepayment in full of the Obligations (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been asserted in writing).

(x) Exemption from Registration. Assuming the accuracy of representations and warranties made by Lenders in this Agreement and the accuracy of representations and warranties of Designated Holders in the Conversion Election Notice, the Loans and the associated right to Lender Conversion or Equity Repayment are exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

Such Lender understands that the Loan and the right to Lender Conversion (and any Note), the Conversion Shares and the Equity Repayment Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from Borrower Representative in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may not be resold except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act (including a registration statement filed pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement) or pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.

(v) Accredited Investor. Such Lender is an institutional “accredited inventor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(1), (2), (3) or (7) promulgated under the Securities Act.

2.3 Payment of Interest.

(a) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.3(b), the outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall accrue interest from and after its Funding Date, at the Applicable Rate, and Borrowers shall pay such interest monthly in arrears on each Payment Date commencing on October 1, 2022.

(b) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, and at the election of Administrative Agent in its sole discretion with notice of such election to Borrower Representative, Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percentage points (5.0%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”) unless Administrative Agent agrees in writing in its sole and absolute discretion to impose a smaller increase, provided that in case of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.5, interest at the Default Rate shall immediately and automatically apply upon the occurrence and during the continuation of such Event of Default without further action by Administrative Agent. Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrowers pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Secured Party Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest interest rate applicable to the Obligations. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies pursuant to the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that interest at the Default Rate is a reasonable calculation of Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an Event of Default.

(c) Payment; Interest Computation. Interest is payable monthly in arrears on the Payment Date of the following month and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed. In computing interest, (i) all payments received after 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on any day shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and (ii) the date of the making of any Loan shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded. Changes to the Applicable Rate based on changes to the Prime Rate, shall be effective as of the date, and to the extent, of such change.

(d) Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that a Borrower has actually paid to or for the benefit of Lenders an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrowers shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of principal outstanding in respect of the Loans; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of accrued interest, third, to the payment of Secured Party Expenses and any other Obligations; and fourth, after all Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrowers or paid to whomsoever may be legally entitled thereto, provided that amounts payable to Lenders, shall be paid ratably.

2.4 Fees and Charges. Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders:

(a) Fees. The fees and charges as and when due in accordance with the Fee Letter; and

(b) Expenses. All Secured Party Expenses (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) incurred through and after the Closing Date, when due (or, if no stated due date, within five (5) Business Days after demand by Administrative Agent), provided that Loan Parties shall not be required to reimburse Secured Party Expenses in excess of $2,000,000 during the term of the Agreement, provided the foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i) Secured Party Expenses arising from indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 12.3, including reimbursement of counsel fees and expenses pursuant to such indemnification obligation, (ii) Secured Party Expenses arising in connection with proceedings under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, (iii) Secured Party Expenses consisting of fees and expenses (including expenses of counsel) of (x) Collateral Trustee or (y) other service provider or agent to the extent, in case of this clause (y), services are not being provided solely for the benefit of Lenders, (iv) fees and expenses due to Governmental Authorities, Trading Markets or similar entities, including filing fees in connection with the perfection or other recordation of the security interest granted to Collateral Trustee, and (v) other Secured Party Expenses not covered by foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) in an amount up to 1.0% of the original principal amount of Loans funded through any date of determination (the Secured Party Expenses described in clauses (i) through (v), collectively “Qualified Expenses”).

2.5 Payments; Application of Payments; Automatic Payment Authorization; Withholding.

(a) All payments to be made by Borrowers under any Loan Document, including payments of principal and interest and all fees, charges, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements (except as otherwise set forth herein, including in Sections 2.2 and 2.3), shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim, before 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date when due, subject to Schedule 3 with respect to Taxes. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.

(b) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Borrower shall have a right to specify the order or the loan accounts to which a Lender shall allocate or apply any payments made by a Borrower to or for the benefit of such Lender or otherwise received by such Lender under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not expressly specified elsewhere in this Agreement. As long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, cash payments received by Secured Parties in the amount of payments then due in respect of the Obligations shall be applied to such payments then due.

(c) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, may initiate debit entries to any Deposit Accounts as authorized on the Automatic Payment Authorization for principal and interest payments or any other Obligations when due; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall provide Borrower Representative with prior written notice before debiting Borrowers’ deposit accounts for amounts other than principal, interest and payments of regularly scheduled fees. These debits shall not constitute a set-off. If the ACH payment arrangement is terminated for any reason, Borrowers shall make all payments due hereunder at the applicable address specified in Section 10, or as otherwise notified by Administrative Agent in writing.

(d) Borrowers, Administrative Agent, Collateral Trustee and each Lender hereby agree to the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 3 hereto.

2.6 Promissory Notes. Borrowers agree that: (a) upon written notice by or on behalf of any Lender to Borrowers that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is requested by such Lender to evidence the Loans and other Obligations owing or payable to, or to be made by, such Lender, Borrowers shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days of any such request (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree)) execute and deliver to such Lender an appropriate promissory note, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, and

(b) upon any Lender’s written request, and in any event within three (3) Business Days of any such request (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree), the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender new notes and/or divide the notes in exchange for then existing notes in such smaller amounts or denominations as such Lender shall specify in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of such new notes shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Loans made by such Lender; provided, further, that such promissory notes that are to be replaced shall then be deemed no longer outstanding hereunder and replaced by such new notes and returned to the Borrowers within a reasonable period of time after such Lender’s receipt of the replacement notes. Regardless of whether or not any such promissory notes are issued, this Agreement shall evidence the Loans and other Obligations owing or payable by Borrowers to each Lender.

4. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

4.1 Grant of Security Interest. Each Loan Party hereby grants to Collateral Trustee, for the ratable benefit of Secured Parties, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Collateral Trustee, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. If this Agreement is terminated, Collateral Trustee’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Termination Date. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Documents, in no event shall any security interest granted hereunder attach to or shall the Collateral include any Excluded Property. Upon the Termination Date, the Liens shall be released in accordance with Section 12.1.

4.2 Priority of Security Interest. Each Loan Party represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to have superior priority to Collateral Trustee’s Lien under this Agreement). If a Loan Party shall acquire a commercial tort claim with a potential recovery in excess of $500,000, such Loan Party shall, upon delivery of the next Compliance Certificate, notify Administrative Agent in writing and deliver such other information and documents as Administrative Agent may require to take any further action necessary or advisable to perfect Collateral Trustee’s Lien in such commercial tort claim. If a Loan Party shall acquire any instrument with a value in excess of $500,000, such Loan Party shall promptly notify Administrative Agent and, with the then-next Compliance Certificate due, deliver the same in original to the Collateral Trustee together with an allonge or other appropriate instrument of transfer and any necessary endorsement, all in form satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

4.3 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Each Loan Party hereby authorizes Collateral Trustee or its designee (or the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Collateral Trustee) to file at any time financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto, with collateral described therein as “all assets now owned or hereafter acquired” or words of similar impact, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Collateral Trustee’s interest or rights hereunder.

4.4 Pledge of Collateral. Each Loan Party hereby pledges, collaterally assigns and grants to Collateral Trustee, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in the Shares, together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the performance of the Obligations; provided that the security interest granted hereby shall not attach to any Excluded Property. On the Closing Date or to the extent any Shares pledged hereunder from time to time are or become certificated, within a reasonable amount of time thereafter, such certificate or certificates shall be delivered to Collateral Trustee, accompanied by a stock power or other appropriate instrument of assignment duly executed in blank. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Shares in which a Loan Party has an interest, upon request by Collateral Trustee, such Loan Party shall cause the books of each issuer of Shares pledged hereunder and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Shares. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, Collateral Trustee may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral (including but not limited to the Shares) into the name of Collateral Trustee and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Collateral Trustee or its transferee. Each Loan Party will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause to be taken such actions, as Administrative Agent may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of Collateral Trustee’s security interest in the Shares. Each Loan Party shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Shares in which it has an interest and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, and to receive all cash, stock and other money and property paid thereon, unless following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Trustee (acting at the direction of Administrative Agent subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement) shall have given one Business Day written notice to Borrower Representative suspending such rights, provided that no such notice shall be required if a Loan Party has commenced an Insolvency Proceeding and, in any event, no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms. All such rights to vote and give consents, waivers and ratifications shall terminate upon notice given in accordance with the foregoing during the existence of an Event of Default.

The Accounts are bona fide, existing obligations of the Account Debtors.

(c) The Collateral is located only at the locations identified in the Perfection Certificate (as may be updated from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof) and other Permitted Locations.

Except as noted on the Perfection Certificate or as disclosed pursuant to Section 6.7(b), no Loan Party is a party to, nor is it bound by, any Restricted License. No Subsidiary which is not a Loan Party owns any material Intellectual Property. It will not be necessary to use any inventions of any of such Loan Party’s employees or consultants (or Persons it currently intends to hire) made prior to their employment by such Loan Party.

5.5 Financial Statements; Financial Condition. All consolidated and consolidating (if applicable) financial statements for the Loan Parties and each of their Subsidiaries delivered to Administrative Agent fairly present in all material respects the consolidated and consolidating (if applicable) financial condition and results of operations of the Loan Parties and each of their Subsidiaries as of the respective dates and for the respective periods then ended, and there are no material liabilities (including any contingent liabilities) which are not reflected in such financial statements.

5.6 Solvency. The fair salable value of the assets (including goodwill minus disposition costs) of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, exceeds the fair value of liabilities of the Loan Parties’ and their Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis; no Loan Party is left with unreasonably small capital after the transactions in this Agreement; and each Loan Party is able to pay its debts (including trade debts) as they mature.

5.8 Subsidiaries; Investments. No Loan Party has any Subsidiaries, except as noted on the Perfection Certificate or as disclosed to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.11 below. No Loan Party owns any stock, partnership, or other ownership interest or other Equity Interests except for Permitted Investments.

Each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries have timely filed all required tax returns and reports (or appropriate extensions therefor), and such Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries has timely paid all foreign, federal, state and local taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions owed by such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable, except (a) to the extent such taxes are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted, so long as such reserve or other appropriate provision, if any, as shall be required in conformity with GAAP shall have been made therefor, or (b) if such taxes, assessments, deposits and contributions do not, individually or in the aggregate, exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). No Loan Party is aware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any prior tax years of such Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to result in a material amount of additional taxes becoming due and payable by such Loan Party or Subsidiary.

5.10 Shares. Such Loan Party has full power and authority to create a first lien on the Shares and no disability or contractual obligation exists that would prohibit such Loan Party from pledging the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. There are no subscriptions, warrants, rights of first refusal or other restrictions on transfer relative to, or options exercisable with respect to the Shares. The Shares have been and will be duly authorized and validly issued, and are fully paid and non-assessable.

5.11 Compliance with Laws.

(a) No Loan Party or Subsidiary of a Loan Party is an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company”, as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended.

(b) No Loan Party or Subsidiary of a Loan Party is engaged, nor will it engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin security” as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as “Margin Stock”). None of the proceeds of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement have been (or will be) used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board.

(c) No Loan Party has taken or permitted to be taken any action which might cause any Loan Document to which it is a party to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board. Neither the making of the Loans hereunder nor Borrowers’ use of the proceeds thereof will violate the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto. No Loan Party, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any Affiliate of any Loan Party or of any Subsidiary, (i) is a Person listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List of the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) or similar prohibited or restricted party list of any other applicable jurisdiction, (ii) is a citizen or resident of any country or territory that is subject to comprehensive embargo or trade sanctions enforced by OFAC, (iii) is a Person whose property or interest in property is blocked or subject to blocking pursuant to Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order, or (iv) engages in any unlawful dealings or transactions with any such Person.

(d) Each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries are in compliance, in all material respects, with the USA Patriot Act. No part of the proceeds from the Loans made hereunder has been (or will be) used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

(e) No Reportable Event or Prohibited Transaction, as defined in ERISA has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur, and no Loan Party has failed to meet the minimum funding requirements of ERISA. No Loan Party has violated any applicable environmental laws in any material respect, maintains any properties or assets which have been designated in any manner pursuant to any environmental protection statute as a hazardous materials disposal site, or has received any notice, summons, citation or directive from the Environmental Protection Agency or any other similar Governmental Authority.

5.12 Products. A complete and accurate list of the Products, is set forth on the Perfection Certificate, as updated from time to time pursuant to the Compliance Certificate. The Loan Parties and each of its Subsidiaries hold all required Governmental Approvals the failure of which to obtain would be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, a list of which as of the date hereof is set forth on the Perfection Certificate, and all such Governmental Approvals are in full force and effect. There are no proceedings in progress, pending or, to such Loan Party’s knowledge, threatened in writing, that may result in revocation, cancellation, suspension, rescission or any adverse modification of any of any Governmental Approval nor, to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of such Loan Party, after due inquiry, are there any facts upon which proceedings could reasonably be based except which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Without limitation of the foregoing:

(a) With respect to any Product being tested or manufactured, each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries has received, and such Product is the subject of, all Governmental Approvals needed in connection with the testing or manufacture of such Product as such testing is currently being conducted by or on behalf of a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and neither any Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice from any applicable Governmental Authority, that such Governmental Authority is conducting an investigation or review of (i) any Loan Party’s or any of its Subsidiary’s manufacturing facilities and processes for such Product which have disclosed any material deficiencies or violations of any Requirement of Law or the Governmental Approvals related to the manufacture of such Product, or (ii) any such Governmental Approval or that any such Governmental Approval has been revoked or withdrawn, nor has any such Governmental Authority issued any order or recommendation stating that the development, testing and/or manufacturing of such Product should cease except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) With respect to any Product marketed or sold by a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, as applicable, has received, and such Product is the subject of, all Governmental Approvals needed in connection with the marketing and sales of such Product as currently being marketed or sold, and no Loan Party nor any of its Subsidiary has received any notice from any applicable Governmental Authority, that such Governmental Authority is conducting an investigation or review of any such Governmental Approval or approval or that any such Governmental Approval has been revoked or withdrawn, nor has any such Governmental Authority issued any order or recommendation stating that such marketing or sales of such Product cease or that such Product be withdrawn from the marketplace, in each case, except which would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;

9. COLLATERAL TRUSTEE’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

9.1 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent, is entitled, without notice or demand, to declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5(c) or (d) occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by Administrative Agent), and to stop advancing money or extending credit for any Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement (and each Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed terminated as long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing).

9.2 Rights. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Collateral Trustee is entitled, at the direction of Administrative Agent, subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement, without notice or demand, to do any or all of the following, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law:

(a) verify the amount of, demand payment of and performance under, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Administrative Agent may determine is advisable, and notify any Person owing a Loan Party money of Collateral Trustee’s security interest in such funds;

(b) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral;

(c) ratably apply to the Obligations any amount held by Collateral Trustee owing to or for the credit or the account of a Loan Party;

(d) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral;

(e) deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Account Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

(f) demand and receive possession of any Loan Party’s Books; and

(g) exercise all rights and remedies available to Collateral Trustee under the Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

Loan Parties shall assemble the Collateral if Collateral Trustee requests and make it available as Collateral Trustee designates. Collateral Trustee may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Each Loan Party grants Collateral Trustee a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Collateral Trustee’s rights or remedies. Collateral Trustee is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, a Loan Party’s 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 Collateral Trustee’s exercise of its rights under this Section, a Loan Party’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Collateral Trustee’s benefit. If, after the acceleration of the Obligations, a Loan Party receives proceeds of Collateral, such Loan Party shall deliver such proceeds to Collateral Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be applied to the Obligations.

9.3 Power of Attorney. Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints Collateral Trustee (and any of Collateral Trustee’s partners, managers, officers, agents or employees) as its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify Account Debtors of Collateral Trustee’s security interest and Liens in the Collateral; (b) endorse such Loan Party’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (c) sign such Loan Party’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to Account Debtors; (d) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Administrative Agent or Collateral Trustee determine reasonable; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Loan Party’s insurance policies; (f) 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; (g) transfer the Collateral into the name of Collateral Trustee or a third party as the Code permits; and (h) dispose of the Collateral. Each Loan Party further hereby (i) appoints Collateral Trustee (and any of Collateral Trustee’s partners, managers, officers, agents or employees) as its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, after an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing to: (A) sign such Loan Party’s name on any documents and other Security Instruments necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of, or maintain the priority of, Collateral Trustee’s security interest in the Collateral, and (B) take any and all such actions as Collateral Trustee may reasonably determine to be necessary or advisable for the purpose of maintaining, preserving or protecting the Collateral or any of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges of Collateral Trustee under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (ii) appoints Administrative Agent (and any of Administrative Agent’s partners, managers, officers, agents or employees) as its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to take all such actions which such Loan Party is required, but fails to do under the covenants and provisions of the Loan Documents. The foregoing appointments of Collateral Trustee and Administrative Agent as each Loan Party’s attorney in fact, and all of Collateral Trustee’s rights and powers, are coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until the Termination Date has occurred.

9.4 Protective Payments. If a Loan Party fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which such Loan Party is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, Collateral Trustee may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Collateral Trustee are Secured Party Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Collateral Trustee will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower Representative with notice of Collateral Trustee obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Collateral Trustee are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Collateral Trustee’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.5 Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Collateral Trustee shall have the right to apply in any order any funds in its possession, whether payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations, for the benefit of Secured Parties. Collateral Trustee shall pay any surplus to Borrowers by credit to the Deposit Account designated by Borrowers or as directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Borrowers shall remain liable to Collateral Trustee and Lenders for any deficiency. If Collateral Trustee, as directed by Administrative Agent in Administrative Agent’s good faith business judgment, directly or indirectly, enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Collateral Trustee may, at the direction of Administrative Agent, either reduce the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or defer the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Collateral Trustee of cash or immediately available funds therefor.

9.6 Collateral Trustee’s Liability for Collateral. Collateral Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person, except to the extent that any of the foregoing have been found by a final judgment of a court of competent court of competent jurisdiction to be the result of Collateral Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Loan Parties bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.7 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Any failure by Administrative Agent, Collateral Trustee or any Lender, at any time or times, to require strict performance by each Loan Party of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Administrative Agent, Collateral Trustee or any Lender thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. Collateral Trustee’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Collateral Trustee has all

rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Collateral Trustee or any Lender’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Collateral Trustee or any Lender from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and any waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Any delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

9.8 Demand Waiver. Each Loan Party waives presentment, demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments or chattel paper.

9.9 Shares. Each Loan Party recognizes that Collateral Trustee may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Shares, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in federal securities laws and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Collateral Trustee shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Shares for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under federal securities laws or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, (i) Collateral Trustee (acting at the direction of Administrative Agent subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement) may, with two Business Days prior notice to Borrower Representative (unless such Event of Default is an Event of Default specified in Section 8.4 or 8.5, in which case no such notice need be given), in addition to all rights and remedies available under this Agreement, any other Loan Document, at law, in equity, or otherwise, exercise all voting rights, or any other ownership or consensual rights (including any dividend or distribution rights) in respect of the Shares constituting Collateral, but under no circumstances is Collateral Trustee obligated by the terms of this Agreement to exercise such rights, and (ii) if Collateral Trustee (acting at the direction of Administrative Agent subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement) duly exercises its right to vote any of such Shares, each Loan Party hereby appoints Collateral Trustee, as such Loan Party’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and IRREVOCABLE PROXY to vote such Shares as directed by Administrative Agent (subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement). The power-of-attorney and proxy granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

11. CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

Except as otherwise expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Each Loan Party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts in New York County, City of New York, New York (the “New York Courts”); provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude Collateral Trustee from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Administrative Agent, Collateral Trustee or any Lender. Each Loan Party expressly submits and consents in advance to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Loan Party hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each Loan Party hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such Loan Party at the address set forth in, or subsequently provided by such Loan Party in accordance with, Section 10 and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of Loan Parties’ actual receipt thereof or three (3) Business Days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid. Each Loan Party hereby expressly waives any claim to assert that the laws of any other jurisdiction govern this Agreement.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANYWHERE ELSE, EACH LOAN PARTY AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT SEEK FROM ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, COLLATERAL TRUSTEE OR ANY LENDER UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING ANY THEORY IN TORTS), ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12. GENERAL PROVISIONS

12.1 Termination Prior to Term Loan Maturity Date; Survival; Release of Collateral. All covenants, representations and warranties and grants of security interests made in this Agreement continue in full force until the Termination Date. So long as Borrowers have satisfied the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement), this Agreement and any remaining commitments to extend credit may be terminated prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date by Borrowers, by written notice of termination to Lenders. Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination. On the Termination Date, Administrative Agent shall direct Collateral Trustee to deliver evidence of the release of Collateral, which release shall occur substantially concurrently with the Termination Date. Collateral Trustee hereby agrees that any Liens granted to Collateral Trustee by the Loan Parties on any Collateral shall be automatically released (a) in accordance with this Section 12.1, upon the Termination Date, (b) if such Collateral is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by a Loan Party pursuant to any sale, transfer or other disposition that is made in compliance with, and subject to the terms and condition of, this Agreement, or (c) if required to effect any sale, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies by Administrative Agent or Collateral Trustee pursuant to Section 9. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by Administrative Agent, the Lenders, or Collateral Trustee in Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries. Upon Borrower’s reasonable request and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, Administrative Agent shall execute, deliver or authorize such documents as may be reasonably required to evidence any release described above.

12.2 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. No Loan Party may assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without Lenders’ prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in each Lender’s discretion). Each Lender has the right, without the consent of or notice to Loan Parties, to sell, transfer, assign, negotiate, or grant participation in all or any part of, or any interest in, such Lender’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided that as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Lender shall assign its right title and interest to a direct competitor of any Loan Party or to a distressed debt fund.

(b) Assignment by Lenders. Each Lender may at any time assign to one or more Affiliates of such Lender or as otherwise permitted by subsection (a) above, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it), subject to any restrictions on such assignment set forth in the other Loan Documents. Each such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such assignment and deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of any assignment and assumption agreement entered into in connection thereto. Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, each Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any pledge or assignment of all or a portion of the rights, or a security interest in such rights, of K2 HealthVentures LLC as a Lender made to an Affiliate of K2 HealthVentures LLC, shall only be made to K2 HealthVentures Equity Trust LLC.

(c) Register; Participant Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Term Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Loan Parties, any Lender and the Collateral Trustee at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Loan Parties, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Term Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

12.3 Indemnification. Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent, Collateral Trustee and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing Lender (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (i) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (including such claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities based on liability in tort, including strict liability in tort) (collectively, “Claims”) claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; and (ii) all losses or expenses (including Secured Party Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from transactions among Administrative Agent, Collateral Trustee, Lenders and Loan Parties (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses to the extent directly caused by such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or in connection with any Claim solely among the Indemnified Parties that does not arise from any act or omission of any Loan Party, Subsidiary, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, or any other Person affiliated with or representing such Loan Party or Subsidiary. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, in no event shall any Loan Party have any liabilities under this Section 12.3 or any other Loan Document for any indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages; it being understood and agreed that this sentence shall not limit the Loan Parties’ obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Persons against claims brought by third parties in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 12.3. This Section 12.3 shall survive until all statutes of limitation with respect to the Claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is given shall have run. This Section 12.3 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

12.4 Borrower Liability. If any Person is joined to this Agreement as a Borrower, the following provisions shall apply: Each Borrower hereunder shall be jointly and severally obligated to repay all Loans made hereunder, regardless of which Borrower actually receives said Loan, as if each Borrower hereunder directly received all Loans. Each Borrower waives (a) any suretyship defenses available to it under the Code or any other applicable law, and (b) any right to require Collateral Trustee to: (i) proceed against any Borrower or any other person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. Collateral Trustee may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of Collateral Trustee under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Obligations, for any payment made by such Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might

have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Obligations as a result of any payment made by a Borrower with respect to the Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise. Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section shall be null and void. If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for Lenders and such payment shall be promptly delivered to Collateral Trustee, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, for application to the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

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

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

12.7 Correction of Loan Documents. Administrative Agent and Borrower Representative may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties by giving notice to the other party of the proposed correction, provided that if the other party objects to such correction (such objection to be made no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice of the proposed correction) such term may only be modified by written amendment.

12.8 Amendments in Writing; Waiver; Integration. No purported amendment or modification of any Loan Document, or waiver, discharge or termination of any obligation under any Loan Document, shall be effective except, pursuant to an agreement in writing by the parties thereto, and in case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement in writing entered into by Borrowers, Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders and Collateral Trustee, provided that Collateral Trustee’s approval shall not be required for any amendment or supplement that has the effect solely of (i) adding or maintaining Collateral, securing additional Obligations that are otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement to be secured by the Collateral or preserving, perfecting or establishing the priority of the Liens thereon or the rights of Collateral Trustee therein; (ii) curing any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (iii) providing for the assumption of a Borrower’s or Guarantor’s Obligations under any Loan Document in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of a Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable; (iv) making any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or Collateral Trustee or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document of Collateral Trustee; or (v) to the extent the Collateral Trust Agreement provides that Collateral Trustee’s approval is not required. It is agreed that any change (i) to the definition of “Designated Holder”, (ii) the rights of a Designated Holder, or (iii) the final sentence of Section 12.2(b) (and any change to this Agreement that would modify the consent required pursuant to this sentence) shall require the consent of the Collateral Trustee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. Any waiver granted shall be limited to the specific circumstance expressly described in it, and shall not apply to any subsequent or other circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar, or give rise to, or evidence, any obligation or commitment to grant any further waiver. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations among the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents.

12.9 Counterparts; Electronic Execution of Documents. This Agreement and any other Loan Documents, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the terms thereof, may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of any Loan Document by electronic means including by email delivery of a “.pdf” format data file shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of such Loan Document.

12.10 Confidentiality; Publicity.

(a) In handling any confidential information, Administrative Agent, Collateral Trustee and each Lender agree to exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information may be made: (a) to its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Loans that are subject to confidentiality terms substantially consistent with the terms of this Section 12.10; (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order and in connection with reporting obligations applicable to Administrative Agent, Collateral Trustee or such Lender, including pursuant to the Exchange Act, (d) to Administrative Agent, Collateral Trustee or such Lender’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with any examination or audit; (e) as Administrative Agent, Collateral Trustee or such Lender considers appropriate in connection with the exercise of remedies with respect to the Obligations; and (f) to third-party service providers of Administrative Agent, Collateral Trustee or such Lender so long as such service providers are bound by confidentiality terms not more permissive than the terms hereof.

Each Borrower must act through the Borrower Representative for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

The provisions of this Section 12.16 are solely for the benefit of Collateral Trustee, Administrative Agent and Lenders and no Loan Party nor any other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. Collateral Trustee shall not have any duties or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably related thereto. The duties of Collateral Trustee shall be mechanical and administrative in nature and Collateral Trustee shall not have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender.

12.17 Appointment of Administrative Agent.

(a) Each Lender hereby appoints Administrative Agent to act on behalf of Lenders as administrative agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 12.17 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders and no Loan Party nor any other Person shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof, except that the Loan Parties shall have the right set forth in Section 12.17(h). In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Loan Party or any other Person. Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except for those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such powers as are reasonably related thereto. The duties of Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature and Administrative Agent shall not have, or be deemed to have, by reason of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender.

(b) If Administrative Agent shall request instructions from Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, then Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until it shall have received instructions from the Required Lenders, and Administrative Agent shall incur no liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document for any reason. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent’s acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in accordance with the instructions of Lenders.

(c) Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective related parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 12.17 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the related parties of such Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent. No Administrative Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that such Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

(d) Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for damages solely caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent: (i) may consult with legal counsel, independent chartered accountants and other experts and consultants selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants, experts or consultants; (ii) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on the part of any Loan Party or to inspect the Collateral (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by email, telecopy, telegram, cable or telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

(e) With respect to its Commitments and Loans hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity (to the extent it holds any Obligations owing to Lenders or Commitments hereunder). Administrative Agent and each of its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any of their Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Affiliate, all as if Administrative Agent was not Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to Lenders. Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from any Loan Party for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

(f) Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, made its own credit and financial analysis of the Loan Parties and its own decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Each Lender acknowledges the potential conflict of interest of each other Lender as a result of Lenders holding disproportionate interests in the Loans, and expressly consents to, and waives any claim based upon, such conflict of interest.

(g) Each Lender agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Loan Parties and without limiting the obligations of Loan Parties hereunder), ratably according to its respective Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent in connection therewith; provided, however, that no Lender shall

be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting solely from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented counsel fees) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and each other Loan Document, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Loan Parties.

(h) Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders, Collateral Trustee and Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent that may be the Collateral Trustee. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender or the Collateral Trustee, if a Lender or Collateral Trustee is willing to accept such appointment, or otherwise shall be a commercial bank or financial institution or a subsidiary of a commercial bank or financial institution if such commercial bank or financial institution has combined capital of at least $300,000,000. If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to the foregoing, by the 30th day after the date such notice of resignation was given by the resigning Administrative Agent, such resignation shall become effective and Lenders shall thereafter perform all the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. Upon the earlier of the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent or the effective date of the resigning Administrative Agent’s resignation, the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except that any indemnity, expense reimbursement or other rights in favor of such resigning Administrative Agent shall continue. After any resigning Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Section 12.17 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as K2 HealthVentures LLC is a Lender pursuant to this Agreement, K2 HealthVentures LLC shall not resign as Administrative Agent unless a successor Administrative Agent is appointed concurrently with such resignation, which successor Administrative Agent shall have the wherewithal to perform, and shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(i) In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, each Lender and each holder of any Obligation is hereby authorized at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Loan Party or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all balances held by it at any of its offices for the account of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party (regardless of whether such balances are then due to such Loan Party or such Subsidiary) and any other properties or assets any time held or owing by that Lender or that holder to or for the credit or for the account of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of a Loan Party against and on account of any of the Obligations which are not paid when due. Any Lender or holder of any Obligation exercising a right to set off or otherwise receiving any payment on account of the Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement relating to the priority of the repayment of the Obligations shall purchase for cash (and the other Lenders or holders shall sell) such participations in each such other Lender’s or holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause such Lender to share the amount so set off or otherwise received with each other Lender or holder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement relating to the priority of the repayment of the Obligations. Each Loan Party agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that (i) any Lender or holder may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and may sell participations in such amount so set off to other Lenders and holders and (ii) any Lender or holders so purchasing a participation in the Loans made or other Obligations held by other Lenders or holders may exercise all rights of set-off, bankers’ Lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or holder were a direct holder of the Loans and the other Obligations in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or any portion of the set-off amount or payment otherwise received is thereafter recovered from Lender that has exercised the right of set-off, the purchase of participations by that Lender shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored without interest.

(j) Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require Administrative Agent to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. To the extent that Administrative Agent advances funds to Borrowers on behalf of any Lender and is not reimbursed therefor on the same Business Day as such advance is made, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to retain for its account all interest accrued on such advance until reimbursed by the applicable Lender.

(k) If Administrative Agent pays an amount to a Lender under this Agreement in the belief or expectation that a related payment has been or will be received by Administrative Agent from Borrowers and such related payment is not received thereby, then Administrative Agent will be entitled to recover such amount from such Lender on demand without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(l) If Administrative Agent determines at any time that any amount received thereby under this Agreement shall be returned to Borrowers or paid to any other Person pursuant to any insolvency law or otherwise, then, notwithstanding any other term or condition of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent will not be required to distribute any portion thereof to any Lender. In addition, each Lender will repay to Administrative Agent on demand any portion of such amount that Administrative Agent has distributed to such Lender, together with interest at such rate, if any, as Administrative Agent is required to pay to Borrowers or such other Person, without set-off, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

(m) Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to provide Lenders with any written notice of Event of Default received by Administrative Agent from, or delivered by Administrative Agent to, any Loan Party; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall not be liable to any Lender for any failure to do so, except to the extent that such failure is attributable solely to Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(n) Anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender and with Administrative Agent that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including exercising any rights of set-off) without first obtaining the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of Administrative Agent at the request of Required Lenders.

12.18 Tax Reporting. The parties hereto agree that for U.S. federal and other applicable income tax purposes, (a) the indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents shall be treated as debt and (b) the Loans shall not be treated as “contingent payment debt instruments” within the meaning of Section 1275(d) of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury Regulations, including Section 1.1275-4 of the Treasury Regulations. The parties hereto agree not to (x) file any tax return, report or declaration or (y) take any position in any audit, examination or legal proceeding relating to taxes, in each case, that is inconsistent with the foregoing, unless otherwise required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Borrowers shall reasonably cooperate with the Lenders to determine the yield to maturity for the Loans and shall timely provide to the Lenders (and promptly respond to requests for) all relevant information to enable the Lenders to timely comply with their respective tax reporting obligations in respect of the Loans.

13. GUARANTY

13.1 Guaranty. Each Guarantor who has executed this Agreement as of the date hereof, together with each Loan Party who accedes to this Agreement as a Guarantor after the date hereof pursuant to Section 6.11 hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees the prompt and complete payment and performance by Borrowers and the other Loan Parties when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing, and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) each Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be the immediate, direct, and primary obligation of such Guarantor and shall not be contingent upon any exercise or enforcement of any remedy of any Secured Party or that any Secured Party may have against a Borrower, or any other Guarantor or other Person liable in respect of the Obligations, or all or any portion of the Collateral;

(b) Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, may enforce this guaranty notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Secured Party and any Loan Party with respect to the existence of any Event of Default; and

(c) notwithstanding anything in this Article 13 to the contrary, the Collateral Trustee shall be the only party with the right to enforce any of the Collateral or take other security.

13.2 Maximum Liability. Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal, state provincial or territorial laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 13.5).

13.3 Termination. The guaranty pursuant to this Section 13 shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date.

13.4 Unconditional Nature of Guaranty. No payment made by a Borrower, Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Secured Party from a Borrower, Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the date the Obligations are paid in full in cash or converted to equity in accordance with the terms hereof (other than contingent obligations for which no claim has been asserted in writing or is known).

13.5 Right of Contribution

(a) If in connection with any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder any rights of contribution arise in favor of such Guarantor against one or more other Guarantors, such rights of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 13.6. The provisions of this Section 13.5 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor pursuant to the Loan Documents, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.

(b) Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by any Secured Party, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any Secured Party against any Loan Party or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Loan Party in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, in each case, until the Termination Date. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the Termination Date, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied to the Obligations, irrespective of the occurrence or the continuance of any Event of Default.

13.6 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by any Secured Party may be rescinded and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by any Secured Party, and this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with their respective terms, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by any Secured Party for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for the guarantee pursuant to this Section 13 or any property subject thereto.

13.7 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional; Guarantor Waivers; Guarantor Consent. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon the guaranty contained in this Section 13 or acceptance of this guaranty. The Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this guaranty. All dealings between Borrowers, Guarantors and any Secured Party shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this guaranty. Each Guarantor further waives:

(a) diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Borrower or any of the other Guarantors with respect to the Obligations;

(b) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection or performance of the Obligations;

(c) any defense arising by reason of any lack of corporate or other authority or any other defense of any Borrower, such Guarantor or any other Person;

(d) any defense based upon errors or omissions by any Secured Party in the administration of the Obligations;

(e) any rights to set-offs and counterclaims;

(f) any defense based upon an election of remedies (including, if available, an election to proceed by nonjudicial foreclosure) which destroys or impairs the subrogation rights of such Guarantor or the right of such Guarantor to proceed against any Borrower or any other obligor of the Obligations for reimbursement; and

(g) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law that limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Agreement.

Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 13 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guaranty or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Secured Party, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower or any other Person against any Secured Party, or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Loan Party) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Borrower for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under this guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance, (iv) any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to any Loan Party or any other Person, (v) any amalgamation, merger, acquisition, consolidation or change in structure of any Loan Party or any other Person, or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any or all of the assets or Equity Interests of any Loan Party or any other Person, (vi) any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of Secured Parties’ interests in and rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the right to receive payment of the Obligations, or any assignment or other transfer, in whole or in part, of any Secured Party’s interests in and to any of the Collateral, (vii) any Secured Party’s vote, claim, distribution, election, acceptance, action or inaction in any Insolvency Proceeding related to any of the Obligations, and (viii) any other guaranty, whether by such Guarantor or any other Person, of all or any part of the Obligations or any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of any Guarantor to Secured Parties. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, Secured Parties may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Loan Party or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto. Any failure by any Secured Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Loan Party or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any Loan Party or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Secured Party against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

13.8 Modifications of Obligations. Each Guarantor further unconditionally consents and agrees that, without notice to or further assent from any Guarantor: (a) the principal amount of the Obligations may be increased or decreased and additional indebtedness or obligations of a Borrower or any other Persons under the Loan Documents may be incurred, by one or more amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of any Loan Document or otherwise; (b) the time, manner, place or terms of any payment under any Loan Document may be extended or changed, including by an increase or decrease in the interest rate on any Obligation or any fee or other amount payable under such Loan Document, by an amendment, modification or renewal of any Loan Document or otherwise; (c) the time for a Borrower’s (or any other Loan Party’s) performance of or compliance with any term, covenant or agreement on its part to be performed or observed under any Loan Document may be extended, or such performance or compliance waived, or failure in or departure from such performance or compliance consented to, all in such manner and upon such terms as the applicable Secured Party may deem proper; (d) in addition to the Collateral, Secured Parties may take and hold other security (legal or equitable) of any kind, at any time, as collateral for the Obligations, and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, exchange, sell, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend such security and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action, and may apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof; (e) Secured Parties may discharge or release, in whole or in part, any other Guarantor or any other Loan Party or other Person liable for the payment and performance of all or any part of the Obligations, and may permit or consent to any such action or any result of such action, and shall not be obligated to demand or enforce payment upon any of the Collateral, nor shall any Secured Party be liable to any Guarantor for any failure to collect or enforce payment or performance of the Obligations from any Person or to realize upon the Collateral, and (f) Secured Parties may request and accept other guaranties of the Obligations and any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of a Borrower or any other Loan Party to any Secured Party and may, from time to time, in whole or in part, surrender, release, subordinate, modify, waive, rescind, compromise or extend any such guaranty and may permit or consent to any such action or the result of any such action; in each case (a) through (f), as the applicable Secured Parties may deem advisable, and without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting this Agreement.

13.9 Reinstatement. The guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of a Loan Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, a Loan Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

13.10 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. No Secured Party shall by any act (except in writing in accordance with Section 12.8), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default, as applicable. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which any Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent 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 the Loan Parties shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2 or Section 4 of this Schedule 3) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

4. Indemnification by the Loan Parties.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower Representative by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

5. Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent and Collateral Trustee, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for (a) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Loan Parties have not already indemnified Administrative Agent or Collateral Trustee for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (b) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.2 of the Agreement relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (c) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent or Collateral Trustee in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such 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 any Lender by Administrative Agent or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent and Collateral Trustee to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent or Collateral Trustee, as applicable, to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent or Collateral Trustee under this Section 5.

6. Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Loan Parties to a Governmental Authority pursuant to the provisions of this Schedule 3, Borrower Representative shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

7. Status of Lenders.

(a) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower Representative or Administrative Agent as will enable the Loan Parties or Administrative Agent 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 such documentation set forth in Sections 7(b)(i), 7(b)(ii) and 7(b)(iv) of this Schedule 3) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any Loan Party is a U.S. Person,

(i)

any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of Borrower Representative or Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

(ii)

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

executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent, to the effect that such Foreign Lender (or other applicable Person) is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any Loan Party within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to any Loan Party as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or

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

(iii)

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

(iv)

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

(c) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower Representative and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

8. Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party 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 pursuant to the provisions of this Schedule 3 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to the provisions of this Schedule 3), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under the provisions of this Schedule 3 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request in writing of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 8 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 8 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 8 shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

9. Increased Costs. If any change in applicable law shall subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result shall be to increase the cost to such Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Term Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Term Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Recipient (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon the request in writing of such Recipient, the Loan Parties will pay to such Recipient such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

10. Survival. Each party’s obligations under the provisions of this Schedule 3 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or Collateral Trustee or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

2.3 Promptly notify the Holders of Registrable Securities (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is filed; (B) when the SEC notifies Borrower Representative whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the SEC comments in writing on such Registration Statement, and if requested by such Holders, furnish to them a copy of such comments and Borrower Representative’s responses thereto; and (C) with respect to the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information related thereto; (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by Borrower Representative of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and (v) of the occurrence of any event that makes any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

2.4 Use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of, (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any U.S. jurisdiction.

2.5 If requested by the Administrative Agent on behalf of Designated Holders, (i) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information as Borrower Representative reasonably agrees should be included therein and (ii) make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or such post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after Borrower Representative has received notification of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.

2.6 Furnish to each Holder, without charge and upon request, at least one conformed copy of each Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and, to the extent requested by such Person, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and all exhibits (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the SEC.

2.7 Promptly deliver to each Holder, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request; and Borrower Representative hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto.

2.8 Prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided, however, Borrower Representative shall in no event be required to (x) qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified or (y) take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any such state where it is not then subject, or (z) comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to Borrower Representative.

2.9 Cooperate with the Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities, if requested by a Holder, to be sold pursuant to a Registration Statement.

2.10 Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 2.3(v), but subject to Section 2.13, promptly prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

2.11 Use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities relating to the Registration Statement to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or any subsequent securities exchange, quotation system or market, if any, on which similar securities issued by Borrower Representative are then listed or traded; provided, however, that nothing in the Section 2.11 shall require Borrower Representative to continue to list its Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market and be a reporting company pursuant to Section 13 of the Exchange Act.

2.12 Borrower Representative may require each selling Holder to furnish to Borrower Representative information regarding such Holder and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as is required by law to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, and Borrower Representative may exclude from such registration the Registrable Securities of any such Holder who fails to furnish such information within fifteen (15) days after receiving such request. Each Holder covenants and agrees that (i) it will not sell any Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until it has received copies of the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented as contemplated in Section 2.7 and notice from Borrower Representative that such Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto have become effective as contemplated by Section 2.3 and (ii) it and its officers, directors or Affiliates, if any, will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to them in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from Borrower Representative of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Sections 2.3(ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or 2.13, such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement contemplated by Section 2.10, or until it is advised in writing by Borrower Representative that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement.

2.13 If (i) there is material non-public information regarding Borrower Representative which the Company reasonably determines not to be in Borrower Representative’s best interest to disclose and which Borrower Representative is not otherwise required to disclose, (ii) there is a significant business opportunity (including, but not limited to, the acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer or other similar transaction) available to Borrower Representative which the Company reasonably determines not to be in Borrower Representative’s best interest to disclose or (iii) financial statements that are required to be included in the Registration Statement are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, then Borrower Representative may postpone or suspend filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a period not to exceed sixty (60) consecutive days, provided that Borrower Representative may not postpone or suspend its obligation under this Section 2.13 for more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate during any 12 month period; provided, however, that no such postponement or suspension shall be permitted for consecutive sixty (60) day periods, arising out of the same set of facts, circumstances or transactions.

2.14 Subject to compliance with the three immediately succeeding paragraphs, a Registrable Security shall not contain or be subject to (and Holder shall be entitled to removal of) any legend restricting the transfer thereof and shall not be subject to any stop-transfer instructions:

(A) if such Registrable Security is sold pursuant to the Registration Statement covering the resale of such Registrable Security that has become or been declared effective under the Securities Act and is effective under the Securities Act at the time of such resale, or

(B) following any sale of such Registrable Security pursuant to Rule 144, or

(C) on the date that (1) is the later of (i) the date that is one year after the last date of original issuance of such portion of the Loan (or Note representing such portion) from which such Registrable Security was converted in accordance with the Agreement, or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144 or any successor provision thereto, and (ii) such later date, if any, as may be required by applicable law, and (2) the Holder holding such Registrable Security certifies that (x) it is not and has not been at any time during the preceding 90 days an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act) of the Borrower Representative, (y) it has beneficially owned such Registrable Security and/or the portion of the Loan (or Note representing such portion) from which such Registrable Security was converted in accordance with the Agreement for at least one year and (z) it acquired and fully paid for such Registrable Security or portion of the Loan (or Note representing such portion) from which such Registrable Security was converted in accordance with the Agreement at least one year ago calculated in accordance with Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act, or

(D) if otherwise agreed by the Borrower Representative (collectively, the “Unrestricted Conditions”).

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the transfer agent at such time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions has been met, if required by the transfer agent to effect the issuance of the Registrable Security without a restrictive legend or removal of the legend hereunder, to the extent requested as set forth in the immediately following two sentences.

The Borrower Representative agrees that, at such time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions is met with respect to a Registrable Security and upon written request of a Holder and the delivery of a customary stockholder representation letter from Holder addressed to the transfer agent and legal counsel of the Borrower Representative, the Borrower Representative will use its commercially reasonable efforts to remove any restrictive legend on such Registrable Security within two trading days after receipt of such request and customary stockholder representation letter.

Each Lender hereby agrees that the removal of restrictive legends from a Registrable Security is predicated upon reliance by Borrower Representative that the Holder will sell any such Registrable Security pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

2.15 If at any time prior to the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, a Registration Statement is not effective with respect to all of the Registrable Securities, if any, and Borrower Representative decides to register any of its securities for its own account or for the account of others (if the agreement pursuant to which such securities are being registered for the account of others so allows), then Borrower Representative will use its commercially reasonable efforts to include in such registration all or any part of the Registrable Securities requested by Administrative Agent on behalf of Holders to be included therein (excluding any Registrable Securities previously included in a Registration Statement). This requirement does not apply to registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 or their equivalents (relating to equity securities to be issued in connection with an acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans) or to registration statements that would otherwise not permit the registration of re-sales of previously issued securities, or to the extent the Conversion Shares or Equity Repayment Shares, as applicable, do not constitute Registrable Securities. In that event, if the managing underwriter(s) of the public offering impose a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock that may be included in the Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment, such limitation would be necessary to effect an orderly public distribution, then Borrower Representative shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities Borrower Representative proposes to sell, and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities.

REGISTRATION EXPENSES.

All reasonable fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by Borrower Representative (excluding underwriters’ discounts and commissions and all fees and expenses of legal counsel, accountants and other advisors for any Holder), except as and to the extent specified in this Section 3, shall be borne by Borrower Representative whether or not the Registration Statement is filed or becomes effective and whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to the Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation, fees and expenses (A) with respect to filings required to be made with the Nasdaq Stock Market and each other securities exchange or market on which Registrable Securities are required hereunder to be listed, (B) with respect to filings required to be made with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and (C) in compliance with state securities or Blue Sky laws), (ii) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (iii) fees and disbursements of counsel for Borrower Representative, (iv) Securities Act liability insurance, if Borrower Representative so desires such insurance, and (v) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by Borrower Representative in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, Borrower Representative’s independent public accountants. In addition, Borrower Representative shall be responsible for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit, the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder.

INDEMNIFICATION.

4.1 Indemnification by Borrower Representative. Borrower Representative shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, and the respective successors, assigns, estate and personal representatives of each of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, judgments, costs (including, without limitation, costs of investigation) and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, as supplemented or amended, if applicable, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to Borrower Representative by such Holder expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that each Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose); (ii) as a result of the failure of such Holder to deliver a Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, to a purchaser in connection with an offer or sale; or (iii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 2.3(ii)-(v), the use by a Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after Borrower Representative has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of notice that use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed (and, if applicable, receipt of additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by referenced in such Prospectus or Registration Statement), but only if and to the extent that following such receipt the misstatement or omission giving rise to such Loss could have been corrected; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Losses if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of Borrower Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Borrower Representative shall notify such Holder promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding of which Borrower Representative is aware in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Party (as defined in Section 4.3) and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holder.

4.2 Indemnification by Holders. Each Holder and its permitted assignees shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless Borrower Representative, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls Borrower Representative (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, and the respective successors, assigns, estate and personal representatives of each of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, as supplemented or amended, if applicable, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in or omitted from any information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to Borrower Representative by such Holder expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein (it being understood that each Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the liability of any Person under this Section 4.2 exceed the net proceeds to such Person as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement in connection with which the untrue or alleged untrue statement or material omission was provided.

4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.

(1)

If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

(2)

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one counsel for the Indemnified Parties). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

(3)

All fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within twenty (20) Business Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

4.4

Contribution.

(1) If a claim for indemnification under Section 4.1 or 4.2 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party because of a failure or refusal of a governmental authority to enforce such indemnification in accordance with its terms (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.3, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

(2) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(3) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holders shall be liable under this Section 4.4 for only that amount as does not exceed the aggregate amount invested by such Holder by way of conversion of the Conversion Amount.

RULE 144.

As long as any Holder owns any Registrable Securities, Borrower Representative covenants to use its commercially reasonable efforts to, until the later of (x) the Term Loan Maturity Date and (y) such time as all of the Conversion Shares and Equity Repayment Shares may be sold by the Designated Holders without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 144 at any time without any volume or manner limitations: (i) make and keep current public information with respect to the Borrower Representative available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; and (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports and other documents required of Borrower Representative under Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act (other than Current Reports on Form 8-K).

MISCELLANEOUS.

6.1 Remedies. In the event of a breach by Borrower Representative or by a Holder, of any of their obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or Borrower Representative, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. Borrower Representative and each Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach, it shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

6.2 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of each Holder hereunder, including the right to have Borrower Representative register for resale Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be assignable by each Holder of all or a portion of the Registrable Securities if: (i) the Holder agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to Borrower Representative within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) Borrower Representative is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (iii) following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignees is restricted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and (iv) at or before the time Borrower Representative receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this Section, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with Borrower Representative to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement. The rights to assignment shall apply to the Holders (and to subsequent) successors and assigns.

6.3 Notices and Communications to Holders. Unless otherwise indicated in a written notice by Administrative Agent to Borrower Representative, Borrower Representative may deliver all notices, materials and other correspondence that is permitted or required to be delivered to Holders to Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10 of the Agreement, and Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver the same to Holders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Selling Stockholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees or other successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares of Common Stock or interests in shares of Common Stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholders may use one or more of the following methods when disposing of the shares or interests therein:

•

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

•

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

•

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

•

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

•

privately negotiated transactions;

•

through the writing or settlement of options, swaps, derivatives or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

•

broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

•

in the over the counter market;

•

a combination of any such methods of disposition; and

•

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive SECs or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction will not be in excess of a customary brokerage SEC in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440 or the successor to such FINRA rules.

The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of Common Stock from time to time under the prospectus, or under an amendment to the prospectus under Rule 424(b) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under the prospectus. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these SECs and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.

There can be no assurance that any Selling Stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

The Selling Stockholders may enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by the prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to the prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealer or agents that are involved in selling the shares of Common Stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any SECs received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of Common Stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting SECs or discounts under the Securities Act. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, SEC and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%). Each Selling Stockholder has informed Borrower Representative that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock.

We have advised each Selling Stockholder that it may not use shares registered on the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part to cover short sales of Common Stock made prior to the date on which the registration statement shall have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange SEC. If a Selling Stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of shares of our Common Stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of Common Stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of Common Stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of Common Stock.

We may indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with an agreement between us and the Selling Stockholders. We may be indemnified by the Selling Stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the Selling Stockholders specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.

By signing below, the undersigned consents to the disclosure of the information contained herein in its answers to Items 1 through 7 and the inclusion of such information in each Registration Statement filed pursuant to the Agreement and each related Prospectus. The undersigned understands that such information will be relied upon by the Company in connection with the preparation or amendment of any such Registration Statement and the related Prospectus.

The undersigned hereby acknowledges and is advised of the following Interpretation A.65 of the July 1997 SEC Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations regarding short selling:

“An Issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale of common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement become effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.”

By returning this Questionnaire, the undersigned will be deemed to be aware of the foregoing interpretation.

I confirm that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the foregoing statements (including without limitation the answers to this Questionnaire) are correct.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF the undersigned, by authority duly given, has caused this Questionnaire to be executed and delivered either in person or by its duly authorized agent.
