Each Notice of Borrowing required hereunder (i) shall be irrevocable, (ii) shall specify whether the proposed draw shall be under the UK Term Notes (USD) or the UK Term Notes (GBP), (iii) the amount of the proposed draw (which shall be in increments of not less than $100,000 (or in the case of a requested draw denominated in Pounds Sterling, the Dollar Equivalent thereof)), (iv) shall specify the proposed borrowing date for such proposed draw, which shall be a Permitted Draw Date and (v) shall specify wire transfer instructions in accordance with which such draw under the applicable UK Term Notes shall be funded. Upon receipt of any such Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s pro rata share of the proposed borrowing under the UK Term Notes (determined on the basis of such Lender’s UK Term Note Commitment (USD) relative to the aggregate UK Term Note Commitment (USD) of all Lenders or such Lender’s UK Term Note Commitment (GBP) relative to the aggregate UK Term Note Commitment (GBP) of all Lenders, as the case may be) and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Credit Parties contained herein, each Lender holding a UK Term Note Commitment (USD) or UK Term Note Commitment (GBP), as applicable, shall fund its pro rata share of the proposed borrowing under the applicable UK Term Notes on the applicable Permitted Draw Date in immediately available funds in accordance with the terms of

such Notice of Borrowing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for purposes of clarification, it is hereby agreed that during each calendar month there shall be only, and the Borrower Representative on behalf of the UK Borrower shall not be entitled to specify more than, two (2) Permitted Draw Dates.


In consideration for each applicable Lender’s commitment to fund its pro rata share of future draws under (a) the UK Term Notes (USD) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, UK Borrower shall issue to each applicable Lender on the Second Amendment Effective Date, a UK Term Note (USD) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2(a), in the aggregate principal amount of such Lender’s UK Term Loan Commitment (USD) and (b) the UK Term Notes (GBP) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, UK Borrower shall issue to each applicable Lender on the Second Amendment Effective Date, a UK Term Note (GBP) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-2(b).


Notwithstanding anything in the Financing Agreement to the contrary, from and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, upon the mutual agreement of Agent and Borrower Representative in writing (which may be in the form of an e-mail), (i) all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount under any UK Term Notes (USD) may be converted into (at the Current UK Exchange Rate), and shall thereafter be deemed to constitute a portion of, the outstanding principal balance of the UK Term Notes (GBP) and (ii) all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount under any UK Term Notes (GBP) may be converted into (at the Current UK Exchange Rate), and shall thereafter be deemed to constitute a portion of, the outstanding principal balance of the UK Term Notes (USD) and, in each case, the UK Borrower shall promptly issue to the applicable Lenders replacement UK Term Notes (USD) and/or UK Term Notes (GBP) reflecting any such conversion. For the avoidance of doubt and for purposes of clarification, the Maximum UK Commitment hereunder in respect of the UK Term Notes and the Current UK Interest Rate applicable to the UK Term Notes would be the same with or without the guarantees provided by the other Borrowers and other Credit Parties in respect of the UK Term Notes pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. The UK  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, as of the Fourth Restatement Closing Date, immediately prior to giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the UK Term Notes (USD) is $26,781,600.00 and the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the UK Term Notes (GBP) is £9,747,470.82.

(d)Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes. The US Last Out Term Note Borrower previously authorized and issued to the Lenders on the Second Restatement Closing Date senior secured last out term notes in the aggregate principal amount of the Maximum Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Note Commitment, dated the date of issue thereof, maturing on the Maturity Date, bearing interest as provided in Section 2.2 below and in the form of Exhibit A-4 to the Second Amended and Restated Financing Agreement and Exhibit A-4 hereto (the “Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes” or “US Last Out Term Notes”). The commitment of each Lender to fund its pro rata share of the single draw under the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes on the Fourth Restatement Closing Date is set forth opposite such Lender’s name in column three (3) of Section 3 (Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes) of the Schedule of Lenders attached hereto (such amount being referred to herein as such Lender’s “Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Note Commitment”). The US Last Out Term Note Borrower shall repay the outstanding principal balance of the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes in full in cash on the Maturity Date, unless accelerated in accordance with Section 10.2 or redeemed or prepaid in accordance with Section 2.3; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the US Last Out Term Note Borrower may request, and the Agent and the Holders of the Fourth Tranche US Last 


[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED







Out Term Notes may agree (in their sole discretion), to permit the US Last Out Term Note Borrower to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes in cash on an amortizing basis commencing on the Maturity Date on terms to be agreed. The entire Maximum Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Note Commitment under the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes was previously advanced to the US Last Out Term Note Borrower by the Lenders and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes as of the Fourth Restatement Closing Date is allocated as set forth opposite each applicable Lender’s name in column four (4) of Section 4 (Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes) of the Schedule of Lenders attached hereto. The US Last Out Term Note Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, as of the Fourth Restatement Closing Date, immediately prior to giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes is $35,050,000. The US Last Out Term Note Borrower hereby (a) represents, warrants, agrees, covenants and reaffirms that it has no defense, set off, claim or counterclaim against the Agent, the Holders or the Lenders with regard to its Obligations under the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes arising prior to the Fourth Restatement Closing Date and (b) reaffirms its obligation to repay the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. For purposes of clarification, the entire outstanding principal balance of the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes as of the Fourth Restatement Closing Date shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes from and after the Fourth Restatement Closing Date, without constituting a novation.


(e)[Reserved].


(f)Relative Priorities. Each of the US Term Notes and the UK Term Notes shall be pari passu (and, for purposes of clarification, senior to the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes) in right of payment or collectability, whether with respect to payment of redemptions, interest, damages or upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise. Each of the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes shall be pari passu (and, for purposes of clarification, junior to the US Term Notes and the UK Term Notes) in right of payment or collectability, whether with respect to payment of redemptions, interest, damages or upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise. To the extent the Last Out Notes have a Maturity Date prior to that of the US Term Notes and the applicable Credit Parties are required to pay the outstanding principal amount of such Notes on or after the applicable Maturity Date, the payment of the outstanding principal amount of such Notes (or the payment of the next scheduled principal payment in respect of such Notes, as the case maybe) shall be subordinated to the payment in full of the outstanding principal amount of the First Out Notes to the extent such principal payment of the Last Out Notes on such Maturity Date would reasonably be expected to cause an Event of Default (or an event or circumstance that, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would become an Event of Default) to occur and shall not be permitted to be paid so long as such Event of Default (or an event or circumstance that, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would become an Event of Default) exists (it being agreed and understood that any such payment not permitted to be paid by operation of the foregoing shall subsequently be permitted to be paid if the payment thereof would not reasonably be expected to cause an Event of Default (or an event or circumstance that, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would become an Event of Default) to occur). For the avoidance of doubt, the priorities specified in  this Section 2.1(f) shall be applicable to all voluntary and mandatory principal prepayments of the Notes.


Section 2.2    Interest. The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the 


[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED







Notes, in each case, at the rates, time and manner set forth below:


(a)Rate of Interest. Each US Term Note shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date issued through the date such US Term Note is paid in full in cash (whether upon final maturity, by redemption, prepayment, acceleration or otherwise) at the Current US Term Note Interest Rate. Each UK Term Note shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date issued through the date such UK Term Note is paid in full in cash (whether upon final maturity, by redemption, prepayment, acceleration or otherwise) at the Current UK Interest Rate. Each Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Note shall bear interest  on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date issued through the date such Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Note is paid in full in cash (whether upon final maturity, by redemption, prepayment, acceleration or otherwise) at the Current Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Note Interest Rate. Interest on each Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed and, subject to Section 2.2(b), shall be payable monthly, in arrears, on the third (3rd) Business Day following the last day of each calendar month during the period beginning on the date such Note is issued (the “Issuance Date”) and ending on, and including, the date on which the Obligations under such Note are paid in full (each, an “Interest Date”).


(b)Interest Payments. Interest on each Note shall be payable on each Interest Date or at any such other time the Notes become due and payable (whether by acceleration, redemption or otherwise) by the applicable Borrower to the Agent, for the account of the record holder of such Note, on the applicable Interest Date. Each Interest Date shall be considered the last day of an accrual period for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each applicable Borrower hereby agrees that all accrued and unpaid interest due and owing under the Third Amended and Restated Financing Agreement as of the Fourth Restatement Closing Date shall be deemed accrued and continued and shall be paid in cash by such Borrower to the Agent, for the account of the record holder of the applicable Notes, on the first Interest Date following the Fourth Restatement Closing Date.


(c)Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Notes shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on the unpaid principal amount thereof at the Default Rate from the date of such Event of  Default through and including the date such Event of Default is waived. In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently waived, the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the date of such waiver; provided that interest as calculated and unpaid at the Default Rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to be due to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date on which such Event of Default is waived. All such interest shall be payable on demand of the Agent.


(d)Savings Clause. In no contingency or event shall the interest rate charged pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that the Lenders or Holders have received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the amount of such excess interest shall be applied against the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding to the extent permitted by applicable law, and any excess interest remaining after such application shall be refunded promptly to the applicable Borrower.


Section 2.3    Redemptions and Payments.




[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED







(a)Permitted Redemption.


(i)The Borrowers may, at their option, elect to pay to the Agent, on behalf of the Holders, the Permitted Redemption Amount (as defined below), on the Permitted Redemption Date, by redeeming the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Notes, in whole (and not in part), whereupon the Commitments of each Lender shall automatically and permanently be terminated (the “Permitted Redemption”). On or prior to the date which is the thirtieth (30th) calendar day (or, solely with respect to any Permitted Redemption of US Term Notes, the ninetieth (90th) calendar day) prior to the proposed Permitted Redemption Date, the Borrower Representative shall deliver written notice (the “Permitted Redemption Notice”) to the Agent stating (i) that the Borrowers elect to redeem pursuant to the Permitted Redemption and (ii) the proposed Permitted Redemption Date. The “Permitted Redemption Amount” shall be equal to (A) the aggregate unpaid outstanding principal amount of all Notes, (B) all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to such principal amount and all accrued and unpaid fees, (C) all accrued and unpaid Late Charges with respect to such Permitted Redemption Amount, (D) the Prepayment Premium and (E) all other amounts due under the Transaction Documents. The Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that the Prepayment Premium represents bargained for consideration in exchange for the right and privilege to redeem the Notes.


(ii)A Permitted Redemption Notice delivered pursuant to this subsection shall be irrevocable. If the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, elects to redeem the Notes pursuant to a Permitted Redemption under Section 2.3(a), then the Permitted Redemption Amount which is to be paid to the Agent, on behalf of the Holders, on the Permitted Redemption Date shall be redeemed by the Borrowers on the Permitted Redemption Date, and the Borrowers shall pay to the Agent, on behalf of the Holders, on the Permitted Redemption Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount in cash equal to the Permitted Redemption Amount. Such Permitted Redemption Amount shall be applied, first, on a pro rata basis with respect to the outstanding US Term Notes and UK Term Notes, and second, to the outstanding Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes.


		
	(iii)
	Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary herein,


(A) if a Federal or Multi-State Force Majeure Event or UK Force Majeure Event shall have occurred or (B) if the Lenders shall fail to fund more than one additional draw under the Notes requested by the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, after the Fourth Restatement Closing Date in accordance with Section 2.1 and provided that all conditions of such funding set forth in Section 5.2 shall have been satisfied at the time thereof (a “Qualified Funding Failure”), then the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall have the right, exercisable upon at least sixty (60) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Agent, to consummate a Permitted Redemption (provided, that in the case of the foregoing clause (B), such Permitted Redemption shall apply solely to the applicable tranche of Notes (i.e., US Term Notes, UK Term Notes or Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes) for which such Qualified Funding Failure occurred) at a price equal to the Permitted Redemption Amount excluding the Prepayment Premium, which Permitted Redemption shall otherwise be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3(a)(i) hereof; provided, that such right to consummate a Permitted Redemption at a price equal to the Permitted Redemption Amount excluding the Prepayment Premium shall expire (x) in the case of the foregoing clause (A), upon the cessation of such Federal or Multi-State Force Majeure Event or UK Force Majeure Event or (y) in the case of the foregoing clause 


[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED







(B), upon written notice from the Agent to the Borrower Representative, given no later than ten (10) calendar days after the Agent’s receipt of the Borrower Representative’s notice of redemption under the foregoing Section 2.3(a)(iii)(B) stating that the Lenders are thereafter willing and able to fund additional draws under the Notes of the applicable tranche requested by the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, in accordance with Section 2.1 and provided that all conditions of such fundings set forth in Section 5.2 shall have been satisfied at the time thereof.  For purposes of clarification, prior to the expiration of the ten (10) calendar day (or longer, as the case may be) notice of purchase pursuant to the foregoing Section 2.3(a)(iii)(B), the Agent may deliver notice to the Borrower Representative that the Lenders are willing and able to fund such draws under the Notes and provided that all conditions of such fundings set forth in Section 5.2 shall have been satisfied at the time thereof, whereupon such right to consummate a Permitted Redemption at a price equal to the Permitted Redemption Amount excluding the Prepayment Premium shall automatically terminate, but the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall at all times thereafter retain the right to consummate a Permitted Redemption at a price equal to the Permitted Redemption Amount including the Prepayment Premium (if applicable), which Permitted Redemption shall otherwise be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3(a)(i) hereof. The provisions of this Section 2.3(a)(iii) set forth the exclusive rights  and remedies of the Credit Parties to seek or obtain damages or any other remedy or relief from the Agent or any Lender with respect to any Qualified Funding Failure.


(b)Mandatory Prepayments.


(i)On the date of receipt by any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries of any net cash proceeds in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate during any Fiscal Year from any Asset Sales (other than Permitted Dispositions), the Borrowers shall prepay the Notes as set forth in Section 2.3(e) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such net cash proceeds.


(ii)On the date of receipt by any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries, or the Agent as loss payee, of any net cash proceeds from any Destruction or Taking, the Borrowers shall prepay the Notes as set forth in Section 2.3(e) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such net cash proceeds; provided, so long as no Event of Default (or event or circumstance that, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would become an Event of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of receipt thereof or caused thereby, the Borrowers shall have the option to apply such net cash proceeds, prior to the date that is 90 days following receipt thereof, for purposes of the repair, restoration or replacement of the applicable assets thereof.


(iii)On the date of receipt by any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries of any net cash proceeds in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate during the term of this Agreement from a capital contribution by any Person (other than a Subsidiary of Elevate Credit Parent) to, or the issuance to any Person (other than a Credit Party or a Subsidiary of a Credit Party) of any Equity Interests of any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries, including, without limitation, in connection with a Public Offering, the Borrowers shall prepay the Notes as set forth in Section 2.3(e) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such net cash proceeds, but subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d).


(iv)On the date of receipt by any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries of any 


[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED







net cash proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness of any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries (other than with respect to Permitted Indebtedness), the Borrowers shall prepay the Notes as set forth in Section 2.3(e) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such net cash proceeds.


(v)On the date of receipt by any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries of any Extraordinary Receipts, the Borrowers shall prepay the Notes as set forth in Section 2.3(e) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts.


(vi)If at any time the then outstanding principal balance of (A) the US Term Notes shall exceed the Maximum US Term Note Commitment, (B) the UK Term Notes shall exceed the Maximum UK Commitment, (C) the UK Term Notes (USD) shall exceed the Maximum UK Term Notes Commitment (USD), (D) the UK Term Notes (GBP) shall exceed the Maximum UK Term Notes Commitment (GBP), or (E) the First Out Notes shall exceed the Maximum First Out Note Balance, then in each case the applicable Borrower or Borrowers shall immediately prepay the applicable Notes as set forth in Section 2.3(e) in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess.


(vii)Concurrently with any prepayment of the applicable Notes pursuant to this Section 2.3(b), the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall deliver to the Agent a certificate of an authorized officer thereof demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable proceeds. In the event that the Credit Parties shall subsequently determine that the actual amount of such proceeds exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate (including as a result of the conversion of non-cash proceeds into cash), the applicable Borrower(s) shall promptly make an additional prepayment of all the Notes in an amount equal to such excess (or applicable percentage thereof), and the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Agent a certificate of an authorized officer thereof demonstrating the derivation of such excess.


(c)No Reborrowing. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts  prepaid under the Notes may not be reborrowed.


(d)Waiver of Mandatory Prepayments. Anything contained in Section 2.3(b) to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Borrowers are required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Notes, not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which the Borrowers are required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall notify the Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and the Agent shall promptly thereafter notify each Holder holding an outstanding Note of the amount of such Holder’s pro rata share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Holder’s option to refuse such amount. Each such Holder may exercise such option by giving written notice to the Borrower Representative and the Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Holder which does not notify the Borrower Representative and the Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the Required Prepayment Date, the Borrower Representative shall pay to the Agent the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, which amount shall be applied in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment payable to 


[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED







those Holders that have elected not to exercise such option, to prepay the Notes of such Holders.


(e)Application of Mandatory Prepayments; Prepayment Premium. All mandatory prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and not waived pursuant to Section 2.3(d) shall be made to the Agent, for the account of the Holders, and shall be applied, first, on a pro rata basis with respect to the outstanding US Term Notes and UK Term Notes (or in such other manner in respect of the outstanding US Term Notes and UK Term Notes as shall be determined by the Agent with the consent of the Required US Term Note Lenders (which consent may be in the form of an email to Agent)), and second, to the outstanding Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, any mandatory prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iii) with the net cash proceeds from a Public Offering shall solely be applied to the outstanding UK Term Notes and Fourth Tranche  US Last Out Term Notes in the manner directed by Borrower Representative (or, in the absence of such direction, first to the outstanding UK Term Notes and second, to the outstanding Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes) (for the avoidance of doubt, net cash proceeds from a Public Offering required to be applied as mandatory prepayment pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(iii) shall not be applied to the US Term Notes). Concurrently with each mandatory prepayment made pursuant to (i) Section 2.3(b) (other than in accordance with Section 2.3(b)(vi)), the US Term Note Commitment (in the case of a mandatory prepayment applied to the US Term Notes), the UK Term Note Commitment (in the case of a mandatory prepayment applied to the UK Term Notes) and the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Note Commitment (in the case of a mandatory prepayment applied to the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes), as applicable, of each Lender shall, at the election of Agent to be given to Borrower Representative within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such mandatory prepayment (or automatically upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(c) or Section 10.1(d)), permanently be reduced by the amount of such prepayment and (ii) Section 2.3(b) (other than in accordance with Sections 2.3(b)(ii), 2.3(b)(v), 2.3(b)(vi) or 2.3(b)(vii) (solely to the extent such excess required to be applied as a prepayment relates to a prepayment under Sections 2.3(b)(ii), 2.3(b)(v) or 2.3(b)(vi))), the Borrowers shall also pay to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the applicable Holders, the Prepayment Premium in respect of the Notes repaid or redeemed in connection with such mandatory prepayment.


Section 2.4 Payments. Whenever any payment of cash is to be made by  any Credit  Party to any Person pursuant to this Agreement, the Notes or other Transaction Document, such payment shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America (provided, that payments of cash made in respect of the UK Term Notes (GBP) shall be made in lawful money of the United Kingdom) by a check drawn on the account or accounts of such Credit Party and sent via overnight courier service to such Person at such address as previously provided to the Borrower Representative in writing (which address, in the case of each of the Lenders, shall initially be as set forth on the Schedule of Lenders attached hereto); provided that (i) the Agent, any Holder or any Lender may elect to receive a payment of cash via wire transfer of immediately available funds by providing the Borrower Representative with prior written notice setting out such request and the Agent’s, such Holder’s or such Lender’s wire transfer instructions and (ii) Credit Parties may elect to make a payment of cash via wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire transfer instructions provided by the Agent, each Holder and each Lender upon request therefor. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Agreement or any Note is due on any day which is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day and, in the case of any Interest Date which is not the date on which the applicable Note is paid in full in cash, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. Any amount due under the Transaction Documents (other than principal and interest, if the same are already accruing interest at the Default

Rate), which is not paid when due shall result in a late charge being incurred and payable by the Borrowers in an amount equal to accrued interest at the Default Rate from the date such amount was due until the same is paid in full in cash (“Late Charge”). Such Late Charge shall continue to accrue post- petition in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law.


Section 2.5 Dispute Resolution. Except as otherwise provided herein, in the case of a dispute as to the determination of any amounts due and owing pursuant to a redemption under Section 2.3 or otherwise or any other similar or related amount, the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile within three (3) Business Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of the applicable notice of dispute to the Agent. If the Agent and the Borrower Representative are unable to agree upon  such determination or calculation within three (3) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to the Agent, then the Borrower Representative shall, within three (3) Business Days submit via facsimile the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to an independent outside national accounting firm specified by Agent. The Borrower Representative, at the Borrowers’ expense, shall cause the accountant to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Agent of the results no later than five (5) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.


Section 2.6    Taxes.


(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document:


(i)all payments made by or on behalf of the Credit Parties under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be made by such parties without any withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes imposed by the United Kingdom (“UK Tax Deduction”), unless such UK Tax Deduction is required by law;


(ii)if a UK Tax Deduction is required by law:


A.the applicable Credit Party shall promptly upon becoming aware that it must make a UK Tax Deduction (or that there is any change in the rate or the basis of the UK Tax Deduction) notify the Agent, Holder or Lender accordingly;


B.the amount of the payment due from such Credit Party shall be increased to an amount which (after making any UK Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no UK Tax Deduction had been required;


C.such Credit Party shall make such UK Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with such UK Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law; and


D.within thirty (30) days of making either a UK Tax Deduction or any payment required in connection with such UK Tax Deduction, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Agent, Holder or Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, Holder or Lender, as applicable, that such UK Tax Deduction has been made or (as 


[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED

Such indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date the Agent, such Holder, such Lender or such Affiliate makes written demand therefor. Agent, a Lender, a Holder or any of their respective Affiliates shall notify the Borrower Representative in writing of the receipt by such Person of any written notice from any taxing authority demanding, or threatening to demand, any Tax indemnifiable by the Borrowers under this Section 2.6(d), within a reasonable period of time after receipt of such notice.

Whenever a Borrower is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Notes, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with the Note being replaced, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the applicable Commitment thereunder then in effect (or, in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.7, the applicable Commitment designated by the Holder which, when added to the applicable Commitment represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, equals the aggregate applicable Commitment under the Note being replaced immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an Issuance Date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of the Note being replaced, (iv) shall have the same rights

The Notes shall only evidence a Holder’s, a Lender’s or their assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the related Notes, and in no event is any such Note to be considered a bearer instrument or obligation. This Section 2.9 shall be construed so that the Notes are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 8.11     Insurance.


(a)The Credit Parties shall keep the Collateral properly housed and insured against loss or damage by fire, theft, explosion, sprinklers, collision (in the case of motor vehicles) and such other risks as are customarily insured against by Persons engaged in businesses similar to that of the Credit Parties, with such companies, in such amounts, with such deductibles and under policies in such form as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent. Certificates of insurance or, if requested by the Agent, original (or certified) copies of such policies of insurance have been or shall be, no later than the Fourth Restatement Closing Date, delivered to the Agent, and shall contain an endorsement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent, showing loss under such insurance policies payable to the Agent, for the benefit of the Holders. Such endorsement, or an independent instrument furnished to the Agent, shall provide that the insurance company shall give the Agent at least thirty (30) days’ written notice before any such policy of insurance is altered or canceled and that no act, whether willful or negligent, or default of a Credit Party or any other Person shall affect the right of the Agent to recover under such policy of insurance in case of loss or damage. Each Credit Party hereby directs all insurers under all policies of insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to the Agent. Each Credit Party irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Agent) as such Person’s true and lawful attorney (and agent-in-fact) for the purpose of making, settling and adjusting claims under such policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Person on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and making all determinations and decisions with respect to such policies of insurance, provided however, that if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Credit Party may make, settle and adjust claims involving less than $100,000 in the aggregate without the Agent’s consent.


(b)The Credit Parties shall maintain, at their expense, such public liability and third-party property damage insurance as is customary for Persons engaged in businesses


[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED

















similar to that of the Credit Parties with such companies and in such amounts with such deductibles and under policies in such form as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agent in light of such customs and certificates of insurance or, if requested by the Agent, original (or certified) copies of such policies have been or shall be, no later than the Fourth Restatement Closing Date, delivered to the Agent; each such policy shall contain an endorsement showing the Agent as additional insured thereunder and providing that the insurance company shall give the Agent at least thirty (30) days’ written notice before any such policy shall be altered or canceled.


(c)If any Credit Party at any time or times hereafter shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance required above or to pay any premium relating thereto, then the Agent, without waiving or releasing any obligation or default by the Credit Parties hereunder, may (but shall be under no obligation to) obtain and maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premiums and take such other actions with respect thereto as the Agent reasonably deems advisable. Such insurance, if obtained by the Agent, may, but need  not, protect each Credit Parties’ interests or pay any claim made by or against any Credit Party with respect to the Collateral. Such insurance may be more expensive than the cost of insurance the Credit Parties may be able to obtain on their own and may be cancelled only upon the Credit Parties providing evidence that they have obtained the insurance as required above. All sums disbursed by the Agent in connection with any such actions, including, without limitation, court costs, expenses, other charges relating thereto and reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall constitute part of the Obligations due and owing hereunder, shall be payable on demand by the Credit Parties to the Agent and, until paid, shall bear interest at the Default Rate.


Section 8.12 Corporate Existence and Maintenance  of  Properties.  Each  Credit Party shall, and each Credit Party shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain and preserve
(a)its existence and good standing in the jurisdiction of its organization and (b) its qualification to do business and good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business makes such qualification necessary (other than such jurisdictions in which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect). Each Credit Party shall, and each Credit Party shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, all material properties used or useful in the business of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries and from time to time will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof. The Credit Parties shall take all reasonable steps and actions from time to time reasonably necessary or desirable to preserve, protect and defend all of their rights, title and interest in, to and under each of the Bank Transaction Documents.


Section 8.13 Non-circumvention. Each Credit Party hereby covenants and agrees that neither any of the Credit Parties nor any of their Subsidiaries will, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation, limited liability company agreement, bylaws, or other governing documents, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, and will at all

Section 8.14 Change in Business; Change in Accounting; Centre of Main Interest; Elevate Credit Parent. The Credit Parties shall not engage in any line of business other than  the businesses engaged in on the Fourth Restatement Closing Date and activities reasonably incident thereto. The Credit Parties shall not (a) make any significant change in accounting treatment or reporting practices, except as required by GAAP, (b) change their Fiscal Year; method for determining fiscal quarters of any Credit Party or of any Subsidiary of any Credit Party or change their Accounting Reference Date, (c) change their name as it appears in official filings in its jurisdiction of organization or (d) change their jurisdiction of organization, in the case of clauses (c) and (d), without providing written notice to Agent no later than thirty (30) days following the occurrence of any such change.

Elevate Credit Parent shall not trade, carry on any business, own any assets or incur any liabilities except for:

Section 8.19 Additional Issuances of Debt Securities; Right of First Refusal on New Indebtedness. So long as any Notes are outstanding (or, solely if the Obligations are paid in full in cash with proceeds from the issuance of any Equity Interests of any Credit Party or any of their Subsidiaries, until the date that is twelve (12) months after the date such Obligations are paid in full), none of the Credit Parties nor any of their Subsidiaries shall, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any of its debt securities or Equity Interests (including any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security) that may, in accordance with the terms thereof, be, at any time during its life, and under any circumstance, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Indebtedness or debt securities, but excluding Permitted Indebtedness, without the prior written consent of the Agent; provided, that, if any Credit Party seeks to incur additional Indebtedness from time to time from any third-party, then in each such case, the Agent and its designees shall have a right of first refusal (but not an obligation) to provide such additional Indebtedness on the same terms and conditions as would be provided by such third-parties. The Borrower Representative will give Agent written notice  (a “ROFR Notice”) describing the additional Indebtedness and the terms and conditions thereof (collectively, the “New Indebtedness Opportunity”). The Agent and its designees shall have thirty (30) days from the date of the Agent’s receipt of a ROFR Notice to agree to provide such additional Indebtedness pursuant to the New Indebtedness Opportunity. If the Agent fails to exercise such right of first refusal within said thirty (30)-day period with respect to the New Indebtedness Opportunity, then the New Indebtedness Opportunity may be offered to such third- party upon the identical terms and conditions as are specified in the applicable ROFR Notice; provided, that in the event the New Indebtedness Opportunity has not been consummated by the applicable third-party within the one hundred (100)-day period from the date of the ROFR Notice, no New Indebtedness Opportunity may be offered by the Credit Parties to any third-party without first offering such New Indebtedness Opportunity to the Agent in the manner provided above.

Section 8.22 Fees, Costs and Expenses.  The Credit Parties, on behalf of themselves  and the other Credit Parties, shall jointly and severally reimburse the Lenders and the Holders or their designee(s) for reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (including reasonable legal fees  and disbursements in connection therewith, documentation and implementation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and due diligence in connection therewith), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.1 hereof, which amounts shall be paid by the Credit Parties to the Agent, for the benefit of itself and the Lenders and the Holders, on the Fourth Restatement Closing Date. In addition, the Credit Parties shall, within five (5) Business Days of receiving a request from the Agent therefor, reimburse the Agent for any additional reasonable legal fees incurred post-closing in connection with perfecting the Agent’s security interests and any additional filing or recording fees in connection therewith. The Credit Parties shall be responsible for the payment of, and shall pay, any placement agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or broker’s commissions relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall hold the Agent, each Holder and each Lender harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim relating to any such payment.


Section 8.23 Modification of Organizational Documents and Certain Documents. The Credit Parties shall not, without the prior written consent of the Agent, (i) permit the charter, by-laws or other organizational documents of any Credit Party, or any Material Contract, to be amended or modified, (ii) amend, supplement in a manner adverse to the Agent, any Lender or any Holder or otherwise modify, or waive any material rights, claims or remedies under, any of the Consumer Loan Agreements except with respect to a settlement or charge off thereunder in the ordinary course of business or (iii) amend, supplement or otherwise modify any Bank Transaction Documents in a manner materially adverse to Agent, any Lender or any Holder, or waive any material rights, claims or remedies under any Bank Transaction Documents except with respect to a settlement or charge off thereunder in the ordinary course of business.


Section 8.24 Joinder. The Credit Parties shall notify the Agent in writing within the earlier of: (i) thirty (30) days of the formation or acquisition of any Subsidiaries; or (ii) the making or purchase of any Consumer Loans (or participation interests therein) by any such newly formed or acquired Subsidiaries. For any Subsidiaries formed or acquired after the Fourth Restatement Closing Date, the Credit Parties shall at their own expense, within the time period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, cause each such Subsidiary (provided, in the case of Foreign Subsidiaries, solely with respect to such Foreign Subsidiaries’ guaranty of the Obligations of the US Term Note Borrowers and/or the US Last Out Term Note Borrower, no 956 Impact would arise as a result thereof) to execute an instrument of joinder in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (a “Joinder Agreement”), obligating such Subsidiary 


[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED







to any or all of the Transaction Documents deemed necessary or appropriate by the Agent and cause the applicable Person that owns the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary to pledge to the Holders 100% of the Equity Interests owned by it of each such Subsidiary formed or acquired after the Fourth Restatement Closing Date and execute and deliver all documents or instruments required thereunder or appropriate to perfect the security interest created thereby (provided that with respect to any First Tier Foreign Subsidiary, solely with respect to such Foreign Subsidiaries’ guaranty of the Obligations of the US Term Note Borrowers and/or the US Last Out Term Note Borrower, if a 956 Impact exists such pledge shall be limited to sixty-five percent (65%) of such Foreign Subsidiary’s outstanding voting Equity Interests and one hundred percent (100%) of such Foreign Subsidiary’s outstanding non-voting Equity Interests). In the event a Person becomes a Guarantor (a “New Guarantor”) pursuant to the Joinder Agreement, upon such execution the New Guarantor shall be bound by all the terms and conditions hereof and the other Transaction Documents to the same extent as though such New Guarantor had originally executed the Transaction Documents. The addition of a New Guarantor shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the other Credit Parties hereunder or thereunder. Each Credit Party,  each Lender, each Holder and the Agent acknowledges that the schedules and exhibits hereto or thereto may be amended or modified in connection with the addition of any New Guarantor to reflect information relating to such New Guarantor. Compliance with this Section 8.24 shall not excuse any violation of Section 8.8 for failing to obtain Lender’s prior consent to a merger, consolidation or Acquisition. A “956 Impact” will be deemed to exist to the extent the issuance of a guaranty by, grant of a Lien by, or pledge of greater than two-thirds of the voting Equity Interests of, a Foreign Subsidiary, solely with respect to such Foreign Subsidiary’s guaranty of the Obligations of the US Term Note Borrowers and/or the US Last Out Term Note Borrower, would result in material incremental income tax liability under Section 956 of the Code, taking into account actual anticipated repatriation of funds, foreign tax credits and other relevant factors.


Section 8.25  Investments.  No Credit Party shall, and no Credit Party shall permit any of its Subsidiaries to, make or permit to exist any Investment in any other Person, except the following:


(a)Cash Equivalent Investments, to the extent the Agent has a first priority security interest therein;


(b)bank deposits in the ordinary course of business, to the extent the Agent has a first priority security interest therein;


(c)Investments in securities of account debtors received pursuant to any plan of reorganization or similar arrangement upon the bankruptcy or insolvency of such account debtors;


(d)Investments owned by the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries on the Fourth Restatement Closing Date as set forth on Schedule 8.25;


(e)(i) Domestic Credit Parties may maintain Investments in Foreign Subsidiaries in amounts not to exceed the outstanding amounts of such Investments as of the Fourth Restatement Closing Date plus additional Investments in Foreign Subsidiaries after the Fourth Restatement Closing Date to the extent expressly approved by Agent in advance in










[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED













writing; provided, if the Investments described in the foregoing clause (i) are evidenced by notes, such notes shall be pledged to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and have such terms as Agent may reasonably require; and (ii) Foreign Subsidiaries may make Investments in other Foreign Subsidiaries;


(f)Investments constituting cash equity contributions by Elevate Credit in the other Borrowers, including, without limitation, cash equity contributions made in order to satisfy the LTV Covenant Cure Obligation, and Investments by Elevate Credit in its other Subsidiaries that are Credit Parties;


(g)Investments made by the Credit Parties (other than Elevate Credit and Elevate Credit Parent) constituting Consumer Loans to residents of the United States and the United Kingdom; and


(h)Investments made by the Credit Parties constituting the acquisition of Consumer Loans to residents of the United States or participation interests in such Consumer Loans, in each case, pursuant to the applicable Bank Transaction Documents.


Section 8.26 Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time upon the request of the Agent, each Credit Party will, at its expense, promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as the Agent may reasonably request in order to effect fully the purposes of the Transaction Documents. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Credit Party shall take such actions as the Agent may reasonably request from time to time to ensure that the Obligations are guaranteed by all Subsidiaries (including the US Term Note Borrowers with respect to the Obligations of the UK Borrower and each US Term Note Borrower with respect to the Obligations of each other US Term Note Borrower) of the Credit Parties and secured by substantially all of the assets of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries (in each case provided, in the case of Foreign Subsidiaries, solely with respect to such Foreign Subsidiaries’ guaranty of the Obligations of the US Term Note Borrowers and/or the US Last Out Term Note Borrower, no 956 Impact would arise as a result thereof).


Section 8.27     Pensions Schemes.


(a)UK Borrower shall ensure that all pension schemes operated by or maintained for the benefit of any UK Credit Party and/or any of their employees are fully funded based on the statutory funding objective under sections 221 and 222 of the Pensions Act 2004 and that no action or omission is taken by any UK Credit Party in relation to such a pension scheme which has or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (including, without limitation, the termination or commencement of winding-up proceedings of any such pension scheme or any UK Credit Party ceasing to employ any member of such a pension scheme).


(b)UK Borrower shall ensure that none of its Subsidiaries is or has been at any time an employer (for the purposes of sections 38 to 51 of the Pensions Act 2004) of an occupational pension scheme which is not a money purchase scheme (both terms as defined in the Pension Schemes Act 1993) or “connected” with or an “associate” of (as those terms are used in sections 38 or 43 of the Pensions Act 2004) such an employer.

(c)UK Borrower shall deliver to the Agent at such times as those reports are prepared in order to comply with the then current statutory or auditing requirements (as applicable either to the trustees of any relevant schemes or to Elevate Credit), actuarial reports in relation to all pension schemes mentioned in paragraph (a) above.


(d)UK Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent of any material change in the rate of contributions to any pension schemes mentioned in (a) above paid or recommended to be paid (whether by the scheme actuary or otherwise) or required (by law or otherwise).


ARTICLE 9 
CROSS GUARANTY


Section 9.1    Cross-Guaranty. Each Guarantor (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
the US Term Note Borrower and the US Last Out Term Note Borrower with respect to the Obligations of the UK Borrower and each US Term Note Borrower with respect to the Obligations of each other US Term Note Borrower), jointly and severally, hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Agent, the Lenders, the Holders and their respective successors and assigns the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations (and for the avoidance of doubt, each Borrower, in its capacity as a Guarantor, so guarantees the payment and performance of the Obligations of each other Borrower under each Note). Each Guarantor agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this ARTICLE 9 shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations under the Transaction Documents has occurred and all commitments (if any) to lend hereunder have been terminated, and that its obligations under this ARTICLE 9 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by:


(a)the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Credit Party is or may become a party;


(b)the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this ARTICLE 9) or any other Transaction Document or the waiver or consent by the Agent, the Lenders or the Holders with respect to any of the provisions thereof;


(c)the Insolvency of any Credit Party or Subsidiary; or


(d)any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.




[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED







Each Guarantor shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the obligations guaranteed hereunder.


Section 9.2  Waivers by Guarantors.  Each Guarantor expressly waives all rights it  may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law, or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel the Agent, the Lenders or the Holders to marshal assets or to proceed in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereunder against any other Credit Party or Subsidiary, any


other party or against any security for the payment and performance of the obligations under the Transaction Documents before proceeding against, or as a condition to proceeding against, such Guarantor. It is agreed among each Guarantor that the foregoing waivers are of the essence of  the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and that, but for the provisions of this ARTICLE 9 and such waivers, the Agent, the Lenders and the Holders would decline to enter into this Agreement.


Section 9.3 Benefit of Guaranty. Each Guarantor agrees that the provisions of this ARTICLE 9 are for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders, the Holders and their respective successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Credit Party, on the one hand, and the Agent, the Lenders and the Holders, on the other hand, the obligations of such other Credit Party under the Transaction Documents.


Section 9.4 Waiver of Subrogation, Etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, and except as set forth in Section 9.7, each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off and any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit the Agent, the Lenders and the Holders and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this ARTICLE 9, and that the Agent, the Lenders, the Holders and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 9.4.


Section 9.5  Election of Remedies.  If the Agent, the Lenders or the Holders may,   under applicable law, proceed to realize their benefits under any of the Transaction Documents, the Agent, any of the Lenders or any of the Holders may, at their sole option, determine which of their remedies or rights they may pursue without affecting any of their rights and remedies under this ARTICLE 9. If, in the exercise of any of their rights and remedies, any of the Agent, the Lenders or the Holders shall forfeit any of their rights or remedies, including their right to enter a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Credit Party hereby consents to such action by the Agent, such Lenders or such Holders, as applicable, and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by the Agent, such Lenders or such Holders shall result in a full or partial loss of any rights of subrogation that any Credit Party might otherwise have had but for such action by the Agent, such Lenders or such Holders. Any election of remedies that results in the denial or impairment of the right of the Agent, the Lenders or the Holders to seek a deficiency judgment against any Credit Party shall not impair any other Credit Party’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations under the Transaction Documents.


Section 9.6 Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained  to  the  contrary, each 


[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED







Guarantor’s liability under this ARTICLE 9 (which liability is in any event in addition to amounts for which Credit Parties are primarily liable under the Transaction Documents) shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the greater of:
(a)the net amount of all amounts advanced to such Guarantor under this Agreement or otherwise transferred to, or for the benefit of, such Guarantor (including any interest and fees and other charges); and


(b)the amount that could be claimed by the Agent, the Lenders and the Holders from such Guarantor under this ARTICLE 9 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, such Guarantor’s right of contribution and indemnification from each other Credit Party under Section 9.7.


Section 9.7    Contribution with Respect to Guaranty Obligations.


(a)To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment under this ARTICLE 9 of all or any of the Obligations under the Transaction Documents (other than financial accommodations made to that Guarantor for which it is primarily liable) (a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount that such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate Obligations under the Transaction Documents satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Guarantor as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations under the Transaction Documents and termination of the Transaction Documents (including all commitments (if any) to lend hereunder), such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.


(b)As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim that could then be recovered from such Guarantor under this ARTICLE 9 without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.


(c)This Section 9.7 is intended only to define the relative rights of Guarantor and nothing set forth in this Section 9.7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Credit Parties, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including Section 9.1. Nothing contained in this Section 9.7 shall limit the liability of any Credit Party to pay the financial accommodations made directly or indirectly to that Credit Party and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Credit Party shall be primarily liable.


(d)The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.


[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED

















The rights of the indemnifying Guarantor against other Guarantor under this Section 9.7 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations under the Transaction Documents and the termination of the Transaction Documents.


Section 9.8 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Guarantor  under  this  ARTICLE 9 is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each other Credit  Party to the Agent, the Lenders and the Holders under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which such Credit Party is a party or in respect of any Obligations under the Transaction Documents or obligation of the other Credit Party, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.


Section 9.9 Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for  payment  of  any amount payable by the Credit Parties under this Agreement is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Credit Parties, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of this Agreement shall nonetheless be payable jointly and severally by the Credit Parties hereunder forthwith on demand by the Agent.


Section 9.10 Benefit to Credit Parties. All of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries are engaged in related businesses and integrated to such an extent that the financial strength and flexibility of each such Person has a direct impact on the success of each other Person. Each Credit Party and each Subsidiary will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the purchase and sale of the Notes hereunder.


Section 9.11 Indemnity. Each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally jointly and severally agrees with the Agent, each Lender and each Holder that if any obligation guaranteed by it is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal, it will, as an independent and primary obligation, indemnify the Agent, such Lender and/or such Holder, as applicable, immediately on demand against any cost, loss or liability it incurs as a result of a Borrower or Guarantor not paying any amount which would, but for such unenforceability, invalidity or illegality, have been payable by it under any Transaction Document on the date when it would have been due. The amount payable by a Guarantor under this indemnity will not exceed the amount it would have had to pay under this ARTICLE 9 if the amount claimed had been recoverable on the basis of a guarantee.


Section 9.12 Reinstatement. If any discharge, release or arrangement (whether  in respect of the Obligations or any security for those Obligations or otherwise) is made by the Agent, a Lender and/or a Holder in whole or in part on the basis of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or must be restored in insolvency, liquidation, administration or otherwise, without limitation, then the liability of each Guarantor under this ARTICLE 9 will continue or be reinstated as if the discharge, release or arrangement had not occurred.


Section 9.13 Guarantor Intent. Without prejudice to any other provision of this ARTICLE 9, each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that this guarantee shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Transaction

Section 9.14 General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the provisions of this ARTICLE 9 shall not be construed to (a) permit the Agent, Lenders or Holders to amend or otherwise modify this Agreement or the Obligations in a manner that would otherwise require the consent of the Borrowers pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement or (b) constitute a waiver by any Borrower of such Borrower’s rights or defenses under this Agreement in such Borrower’s capacity as a Borrower hereunder.

(f)any Credit Party breaches any covenant, or other term or condition of any Transaction Document, any other agreement with the Agent, any Lender or any Holder, except in the case of a breach of a covenant or other term or condition of any Transaction Document (other than Sections 8.1(a), 8.2, 8.3(c), 8.4 through 8.11, 8.13, 8.14, 8.16, 8.17, 8.18, 8.20, 8.21, 8.23,

(k)any Lien against the Collateral intended to be created by any Security Document shall at any time be invalidated, subordinated (except to Permitted Liens to the extent expressly permitted under the Transaction Documents) or otherwise cease to be in full force and effect, for whatever reason, or any security interest purported to be created by any Security Document shall cease to be, or shall be asserted by any Credit Party not to be, a valid, first priority perfected Lien (to the extent that any Transaction Document obligates the parties to provide such a perfected first priority Lien, and except to the extent Permitted Liens are permitted by the terms of the Transaction Documents to have priority) in the Collateral (except as expressly otherwise provided under and in accordance with the terms of such Transaction Document);


(l)any material provision of any Transaction Document shall at any time for any reason be declared to be null and void, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested by any Credit Party, or a proceeding shall be commenced by any Credit Party, or by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such Credit Party, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or any Credit Party shall deny that it has any liability or obligation purported to be created under any Transaction Document;


(m)Reserved;

(o)(i) any Credit Party or Subsidiary of any Credit Party liquidates, dissolves, terminates or suspends its business operations or otherwise fails to operate its business in the ordinary course; provided, the foregoing notwithstanding any of the Elevate Credit Subsidiaries (other than a Borrower) may suspend its operations in any jurisdiction in which it operates and dissolve as a result of a decision by the Credit Parties to exit one or more markets from time to time or (ii) the authority or ability of any Credit Party or Subsidiary of any Credit Party to conduct its business is limited or wholly or substantially curtailed by any seizure, expropriation, nationalization, intervention, restriction or other action by or on behalf of any governmental, regulatory or other authority or other person in relation to any Credit Party, any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets;

(p)Ken Rees shall, at any time for any reason, cease to be employed by Elevate Credit in the same position and with duties substantially similar to those held as of the Fourth Restatement Closing Date, unless a replacement reasonably satisfactory to Agent shall have been appointed and employed within ninety (90) days of his cessation of employment;


(q)any material decline or depreciation in the value or market price of the Collateral (whether actual or reasonably anticipated), which causes the Collateral, in the reasonable opinion of Agent acting in good faith, to become unsatisfactory as to value or character, or which causes the Agent to reasonably believe that the Obligations are inadequately secured and that the likelihood for repayment of the Obligations is or will soon be materially impaired, time being of the essence;


(r)(i) the occurrence of one or more ERISA Events which individually or in the aggregate result(s) in or could reasonably be expected to result in liability of the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries in excess of $100,000 during the term hereof; or (ii) the existence of any fact or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to result in the imposition of a Lien pursuant to Section 430(k) of the Code or ERISA or a violation of Section 436 of the Code; or

Section 10.2    Termination of Commitments and Acceleration Right.


(a)Promptly after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower Representative shall deliver written notice thereof via email, facsimile and overnight courier (an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Agent. At any time after the earlier of the Agent’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and the Agent becoming aware of an Event of Default which has not been cured or waived, (i) the Agent may (or, solely with respect to the US Term Note Commitments of the applicable Lenders to fund additional draws under the US Term Notes, at the direction of the Required US Term Note Lenders, shall) declare all or any portion of the Commitment of each Lender to fund additional draws under the Notes to be suspended or terminated by delivering written notice thereof (an “Event of Default Commitment Suspension or Termination Notice”) to the Borrower Representative, which Event of Default Commitment Suspension or Termination Notice shall indicate the portion of the Commitments that the Agent is suspending or terminating, whereupon such Commitments shall forthwith be suspended or terminated, and/or (ii) the Agent may require the Borrowers to redeem all or any portion of the Notes (provided, that any redemption of any portion of the Notes (including any tranche thereof) that changes the priority of payment to which the US Term Notes are entitled under this Agreement shall also require the consent of the Required US Term Note Lenders and, to the extent not included in the foregoing consent by Required US Term Note Lenders, the consent of each other Lender or Holder that holds, individually, an aggregate principal amount of US Term Note Commitments and outstanding US Term Notes of $20,000,000 or more (which consent may be in the form of an email to Agent)) (an “Event of Default Redemption”) by delivering written notice thereof (the “Event of Default Redemption Notice”) to the Borrower Representative, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the tranche(s) and portion(s) of the Notes that the Agent is requiring the Borrowers to redeem (to be allocated on a pro rata basis






[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED















with respect to the applicable outstanding Notes), whereupon a corresponding pro rata portion of the applicable Commitments in respect thereof shall forthwith be terminated effective upon the date of such Event of Default Redemption Notice; provided, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(c) or Section 10.1(d), and without any action on behalf of the Agent, any Holder or any Lender, the Commitments, in whole, shall automatically be terminated and the Notes shall automatically be redeemed by the Borrowers. All Notes  subject to redemption by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be redeemed by the Borrowers at a price equal to the outstanding principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, accrued and unpaid Late Charges, accrued and unpaid Prepayment Premium, and all other amounts due under the Transaction Documents (the “Event of Default Redemption Price”); provided, the foregoing notwithstanding, the Prepayment Premium shall not be due solely in connection with an Event of Default Redemption occurring as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type described in Sections 10.1(n)(ii), 10.1(n)(iii) or 10.1(n)(iv) so long as no other Event of Default shall be in existence at such time.


(b)In the case of an Event of Default Redemption, the Borrowers shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Agent within three (3) Business Days after the Borrower Representative’s receipt of the Event of Default Redemption Notice. In the case of an Event of Default Redemption of less than all of the principal of a tranche of the Notes, the applicable Borrower shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the applicable Holders new Notes (in accordance with Section 2.7) representing the portion of the Commitments that have not been terminated as a result of such redemption.


Section 10.3 Consultation Rights. Without in any way limiting any remedy that the Agent, the Holders or the Lenders may have, at law or in equity, under any Transaction Document (including under the foregoing provisions of this ARTICLE 10) or otherwise, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, upon the request of the Agent, the Credit Parties shall hire or otherwise retain a consultant, advisor or similar Person acceptable to the Agent to advise the Credit Parties with respect to their business and operations.


Section 10.4 Other Remedies. The remedies provided herein and in the Notes shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under any of the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Agent’s, any Lender’s or any Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Credit Parties to comply with the terms of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents. Amounts set forth or provided for herein and in the Notes with respect to payments and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Agent, the Holders and/or the Lenders and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Credit Parties (or the performance thereof). Each of the Credit Parties acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder and under the Notes and the other Transaction Documents will cause irreparable harm to the Agent, the Holders and the Lenders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Credit Parties therefore agree that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Agent, the Holders and the Lenders shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any

bond or other security being required.
Section 10.5  Application of Proceeds.


(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers irrevocably waive the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time or times thereafter received by Agent from or on behalf of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party of all or any part of the Obligations, and, as between the Credit Parties on the one hand and Agent and Holders on the other, Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and to reapply any and all payments received against the Obligations in such manner as Agent may deem advisable (subject to clause (b) below) notwithstanding any previous application by Agent.


(b)Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any and all voluntary and mandatory, payments, prepayments or redemptions made in respect of the Obligations shall be delivered to the Agent and shall be applied in the following order: first, to all fees, costs, indemnities, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred by or owing to Agent with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the Collateral; second, to accrued and unpaid interest on the First Out Notes on a pro rata basis with respect to the outstanding First Out Notes; third, to the principal amount of the First Out Notes and to any Prepayment Premium thereon then due and owing on a pro rata basis with respect to the outstanding First Out Notes; fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes on a pro rata basis with respect to the outstanding Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes; fifth, to the principal amount of the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes and to any Prepayment Premium thereon then due and owing on a pro rata basis with respect to the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes.


(c)Any payments, prepayments or proceeds of Collateral received by any Lender that were not permitted to be made under this Agreement or were not applied as required under this Agreement shall be promptly paid over to the Agent for application under Section 10.5(b). Any balance remaining after giving effect to the applications set forth in this Section 10.5 shall be delivered to Borrower Representative or to whoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such balance or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. In carrying out any of  the applications set forth in this Section 10.5, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the numerical order provided until exhausted prior to the application to the next succeeding category and (ii) each of the Persons entitled to receive a payment in any particular category shall receive an amount equal to its pro rata share of amounts available to be applied pursuant thereto for such category.

BANKRUPTCY MATTERS


In the event of any Insolvency Proceeding involving a Credit Party or the liquidation or dissolution of a Credit Party:


Section 11.1 General. This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the  filing of any Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, any case or proceeding of the type described in Sections 10.1(c) or 10.1(d) of this Agreement, and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof, and all references herein to any Credit Party shall be deemed to apply to




[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED













the trustee for such Credit Party and such Credit Party as a debtor-in-possession. The relative rights of the First Out Note Holders and the Last Out Note Holders, including, without limitation, in respect of (a) any Collateral or proceeds thereof and (b) the order of application of all payments in respect of Obligations, shall continue after the filing of such petition on the same basis as prior to the date of such filing, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Credit Party. This Agreement shall be enforceable in any Insolvency Proceeding in accordance with its terms. In furtherance of the foregoing, any payment or distribution which is payable or deliverable in such Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any of the Notes, whether in cash, securities, or other property, shall be paid or delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and all receivers, trustees, liquidators, custodians, conservators and others having authority in the premises are each irrevocably authorized, empowered and directed to effect all such payments and deliveries. Each Last Out Note Holder acknowledges and agrees that because of their differing rights in proceeds of the Collateral, the Obligations in respect of the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes are fundamentally different from the Obligations in respect of the First Out Notes and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or confirmed in any Insolvency Proceeding involving any Borrower or other Credit Party as a debtor. No Last Out Note Holder shall seek in any such Insolvency Proceeding to be treated as part of the same class of creditors as the First Out Note Holders or shall oppose any pleading or motion by the First Out Note Holders for the First Out Note Holders and the Last Out Note Holders to be treated as separate classes of creditors.


Section 11.2 Post Petition Financing; Etc. In the event of the filing of any Insolvency Proceeding, including, without limitation, any case or proceeding of the type described in Sections 10.1(c) or 10.1(d) of this Agreement, by or against any Credit Party, until no Credit Exposure exists (other than Credit Exposure with respect to the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes):


(a)if any such Credit Party or Credit Parties as debtor(s)-in-possession (or a trustee appointed on behalf of such Credit Party or Credit Parties) shall move for either approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by the Agent or any of the Lenders (other than the Last Out Note Holders) (or to be provided by any other Person or group of Persons with the consent of the Agent) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral with the consent of the Agent and the Lenders (other than the Last Out Note Holders) under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, then each Last Out Note Holder agrees as follows: (i) adequate notice to such Last Out Note Holder for such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral shall be deemed to have been given to the Last Out Note Holders if the Last Out Note Holders receive notice in advance of the hearing to approve such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral on an interim basis and at least 5 Business Days in advance of the hearing to approve such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral on a final basis, (ii) no Last Out Note Holder will request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in connection with the use of such cash collateral or such DIP Financing, and (iii) no Last Out Note Holder shall contest or oppose in any manner any adequate protection provided to the Agent and the Lenders (other than the Last Out Note Holders) as adequate protection of their interests in the Collateral, any DIP Financing or any cash collateral use and shall be deemed to have waived any objections to such adequate protection, DIP Financing or cash collateral use, including, without limitation, any objection alleging Credit Parties’ failure to provide “adequate protection” of the interests of the Last Out Note Holders in the Collateral; and




[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED

















(b)no Last Out Note Holder or any of its Affiliates shall (i) propose, move for approval of or make any DIP Financing, (ii) propose or, except as required by clause (ii)(x) of the last sentence of Section 13.6, vote (to the extent such vote is required to satisfy Section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code) in favor of any chapter 11 plan that seeks confirmation of a plan of reorganization that would “cram down” the class of claims held by the Lenders in respect of the Obligations (other than the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes) under Section 1129(b)(2)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) take any other action that would otherwise result or potentially result in any “cram down” of the Obligations (other than Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes), any DIP Financing or any claims of the holders of the Obligations (other than the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes), in each case, unless the Agent and the Lenders then holding more than sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) of the aggregate Commitments then in effect plus the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Notes then outstanding consent in writing and in advance to such action.


Section 11.3 Commencement of Insolvency Proceedings.  Notwithstanding any rights or remedies available to any Last Out Note Holder under any Transaction Document, applicable law or otherwise, prior to the Maturity Date (as the same may be extended) of the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes, no Last Out Note Holder shall commence an Insolvency Proceeding against any Borrower or any other Credit Party.


Section 11.4 Bankruptcy Sale.  No Last Out Note Holder shall object to or oppose a  sale or other disposition of any Collateral free and clear of Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code on any grounds that may be asserted by a holder of a Lien on such Collateral (and shall be deemed to have consented to such sale in its capacity as a secured creditor for the purposes of Section 363) if the Agent has consented to such sale or disposition of such Collateral, and no Last Out Note Holder shall request that it or any other Person be granted adequate protection of its Lien on such Collateral if the Agent has consented to such sale or disposition of such Collateral and so long as any Lien of the Agent on such Collateral attaches to the proceeds of such sale or disposition.


Section 11.5 Relief from Stay. No Last Out Note Holder shall (a) seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of Agent, or (b) oppose any request by Agent or any Lender (other than the Last Out Note Holders) to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Collateral.


ARTICLE 12 
            AGENCY PROVISIONS


Section 12.1  Appointment.    Each of the Holders and Lenders hereby irrevocably
designates and appoints Agent as the administrative agent and collateral agent of such Holder or such

Lender (or the Holders or Lenders represented by it) under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents for the term hereof (and Agent hereby accepts such appointment), and each such Holder and Lender irrevocably authorizes Agent to take such action on its behalf  under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of this




Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or otherwise exist against the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority (to the exclusion of the Lenders and Holders), and is hereby authorized, to (a) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders and Holders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Transaction Documents (including in any proceeding described in Sections 10.1(c) or 10.1(d) or any other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding), and each Person making any payment in connection with any Transaction Document to any Lender or Holder is hereby authorized to make such payment to Agent, (b) file and prove claims and file other documents necessary or desirable to allow the claims of the Agent, Lenders and Holders with respect to any Obligation in any proceeding described in Sections 10.1(c) or 10.1(d) or any other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding (but not to vote, consent or otherwise act on behalf of such Person), (c) act as collateral agent for itself and each Lender and Holder for purposes of the perfection of all Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein, (d) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, (e) take such other action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the Liens created or purported to be created by the Transaction Documents, (f) except as may be otherwise specified in any Transaction Document, exercise all remedies given to Agent, the Lenders and the Holders with respect to the Credit Parties and/or the Collateral, whether under the Transaction Documents, applicable Requirements or otherwise and (g) execute any amendment, consent or waiver under the Transaction Documents on behalf of any Lender or Holder that has consented in writing to such amendment, consent or waiver; provided, however, that Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs each Lender and Holder to act as collateral sub-agent for Agent, the Lenders and the Holders for purposes of the perfection of all Liens with respect to the Collateral, including any deposit account maintained by a Credit Party with, and cash and Cash Equivalent Investments held by, such Lender or Holder, and may further authorize and direct the Lenders and the Holders to take further actions as collateral sub-agents for purposes of enforcing such Liens or otherwise to transfer the Collateral subject thereto to Agent, and each Lender and Holder hereby agrees to take such further actions to the extent, and only to the extent, so authorized and directed. Sections 12.5 and 12.9 shall apply to any collateral sub-agent described in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence and its Related Parties in connection with their respective actions and activities described therein. Any reference to the Agent in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be deemed to refer to the Agent solely in its capacity as Agent and not in its capacity, if any, as a Holder or a Lender. Under the Transaction Documents, Agent (a) is acting solely on behalf of the Agent, Lenders and Holders (except to the limited extent provided in Section 2.9 with respect to the Register), with duties that are entirely administrative in nature, notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Agent”, the terms “agent”, “Agent” and “collateral agent” and similar terms in any Transaction Document to refer to Agent, which terms are used for title purposes only, (b) is not assuming any obligation

under any Transaction Document other than as expressly set forth therein or any role as agent (except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents), fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, Holder or any other Person and (c) shall have no implied functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or other liabilities under any Transaction Document, and each Lender and Holder, by accepting the benefits of the Transaction Documents, hereby waives and agrees not to assert any claim against Agent based on the roles, duties and legal relationships expressly disclaimed in clauses (a) through (c) of this sentence.


Section 12.2 Binding Effect. Each Lender and Holder, by accepting the benefits of the Loan Documents, agrees that (a) any action taken by Agent (or, when expressly required hereby, all the Holders) in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, (b) any action taken by Agent in reliance upon the instructions of Required Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby, all the Holders) and (c) the exercise by Agent (or, when expressly required hereby, all the Holders) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders and Holders.


Section 12.3  Use of Discretion.  Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take, or to omit to take, any action, including with respect to enforcement or collection, except any action it is required to take or omit to take (a) under any Transaction Document or (b) pursuant to instructions from all the Holders, when expressly required hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall not be required to take, or to omit to take, any action (a) unless, upon demand, Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders and/or Holders (or, to the extent applicable and acceptable to Agent, any other Person) against all liabilities that, by reason of such action or omission, may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent or any of its Related Parties or (b) that is, in the opinion of Agent or its counsel, contrary to any Transaction Document or applicable Requirement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents against the Credit Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, Agent in accordance with the Transaction Documents for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Holders; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent) hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, (b) any Lender or Holder from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.17(a) or (c) any Lender or Holder from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Credit Party under any bankruptcy or other debtor relief law; and provided, further that if at any time there is no Person acting as Agent hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, then (A) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to Agent pursuant to Article 10 and (B) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 13.17(a), any Lender or Holder may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

Section 12.5 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement (except for actions occasioned by its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Holders or Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or for any failure of the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Holder or any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or of any other Transaction Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries.


Section 12.6 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the  owner thereof for all purposes unless the Agent shall have actual notice of any transferee. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby, all the Holders) as it deems appropriate, if any, or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Holders and Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction). The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, when expressly required hereby, all the Holders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Holders and Lenders and all future Holders and Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent:


(a)shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of the Required Lenders or for the actions or omissions of any of its Related Parties selected with reasonable care (other than employees, officers and directors of Agent, when acting on behalf of Agent);


(b)shall not be responsible to any Lender, Holder or other Person for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any 


[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED







Transaction Document; and
(c)makes no warranty or representation, and shall not be responsible, to any Lender, Holder or other Person for any statement, document, information, representation or warranty made or furnished by or on behalf of any Credit Party or any Related Party of any Credit Party in connection with any Transaction Document or any transaction contemplated therein or any other document or information with respect to any Credit Party, whether or not transmitted or omitted to be transmitted by Agent, including as to completeness, accuracy, scope or adequacy thereof, or for the scope, nature or results of any due diligence performed by Agent in connection with the Transaction Documents;


and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (a) through (c) above, each Lender, Holder and Credit Party hereby waives and agrees not to assert (and Borrowers shall cause each other Credit Party to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action it might have against Agent based thereon.


Section 12.7 Notices of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder or under any other Transaction Document unless it has received notice of such Event of Default in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof or notice from a Holder, a Lender or the Borrowers referring to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Agent receives such a notice, it shall promptly give notice thereof to the Holders and Lenders. The Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Holders and Lenders, except to the extent that other provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents expressly require that any such action be taken or not be taken only with the consent and authorization or upon the request of all the Holders.


Section 12.8  Non Reliance on the Agent and Other Holders.  Each of the Holders   and Lenders expressly acknowledges that neither the Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent to any Holder or Lender. Each of the Holders and Lenders represents that it has made and will continue to make, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Holder or Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their Subsidiaries. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Holders and Lenders by the Agent hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents, the Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Holder or Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries which may come into the possession of the Agent or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact, Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

Section 12.9 Indemnification. Each of the Holders and Lenders hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Credit Parties and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), ratably according to the respective amounts of their Notes, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Notes) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Holder or Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements to the extent they result from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order. The agreements in this Section 12.9 shall survive the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder and the termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.


Section 12.10 The Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Agent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Credit Parties or any of their Subsidiaries as though the Agent were not an Agent hereunder. With respect to any Note issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as any Holder or Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Holders” and “Lenders” shall include the Agent in its individual capacity.


Section 12.11 Resignation or Removal of the Agent; Successor Agent. The  Agent may resign as Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days advance notice thereof to the Holders and Lenders and the Borrowers and, thereafter, the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. If the Agent becomes subject to an insolvency proceeding under Bankruptcy Law that is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after commencement thereof or ceases to operate its business as a going concern, the Required Lenders (determined solely for purposes of this sentence without taking into account any Lenders or Holders that are Affiliates of Agent) may, upon 20 days’ prior written notice, remove the Agent and, thereafter, the removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders (determined, solely in the case of the removal of Agent in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, without taking into account any Lenders or Holders that are Affiliates of Agent) shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, then the Agent may, on behalf of the Holders and Lenders, appoint a successor Agent reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and, in the case of a removal of Agent, reasonably acceptable to Required Lenders (determined solely for purposes of this sentence without taking into account any Lenders or Holders that are Affiliates of Agent). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, as applicable. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent or any removed Agent’s removal hereunder as Agent, as the case maybe, the


[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED

















provisions of this Section 12.11 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent. If no successor has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation or a removed Agent’s receipt of a notice of removal, as applicable, the retiring Agent’s resignation or the removed Agent’s removal, as the case may be, shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the resignation of the Agent may, at the election of  the Agent upon prior written notice thereof to the Last Out Note Holders and the Borrower Representative, be effective immediately upon the date that no Credit Exposure exists (other than Credit Exposure with respect to the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes). Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation under the immediately preceding sentence, Last Out Note Holders holding greater than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. From and following the effectiveness of such notice, (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as Last Out Note Holders holding greater than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes appoint a successor Agent as provided for above in this Section 12.11.


Section 12.12 Reimbursement by Holders and Lenders. To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under Section 13.1 or Section 13.12 to be paid by it to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Holder and Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any such sub agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Holder’s or Lender’s applicable percentage thereof (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or any such sub agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. For the purposes of this Section 12.12, the “applicable percentage” of a Holder or a Lender shall be the percentage of the total aggregate principal amount of the Notes represented by the Notes held by such Holder or Lender at such time.


Section 12.13 Withholding. To the extent required by any Requirement, Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender or Holder under a Transaction Document an amount equal to any applicable withholding Tax (including withholding Taxes imposed under Chapters 3 and 4 of Subtitle A of the Code). If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or Holder (because the appropriate certification form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or fails to establish an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax with respect to a particular type of payment, or because such Lender or Holder failed to notify Agent or any other Person of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, failed to maintain a Participant Register 


[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED







or for any other reason), or Agent reasonably determines that it was required to withhold taxes from a prior payment but failed to do so, such Lender or Holder shall promptly indemnify Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and together with all expenses incurred by Agent, including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out- of-pocket expenses. Agent may offset against any payment to any Lender or Holder under a Transaction Document, any applicable withholding tax that was required to be withheld from any prior payment to such Lender or Holder but which was not so withheld, as well as any other amounts for which Agent is entitled to indemnification from such Lender or Holder under this Section 12.13.


Section 12.14 Release of Collateral or Guarantors. Each Lender and Holder hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (b)(ii) below, release or subordinate) the following:


(a)any Subsidiary of a Borrower (other than a Subsidiary that is itself a Borrower) from its guaranty of any Obligation if all of the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary owned by any Credit Party are sold or transferred in a transaction permitted under the Transaction Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such transaction, such Subsidiary would not be required to guaranty any Obligations; and


(b)any Lien held by Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and Holders against
(i) any Collateral that is sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise disposed of by a Credit Party in a transaction permitted by the Transaction Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), to the extent all Liens required to be granted in such Collateral pursuant to this Agreement after giving effect to such transaction have been granted, (ii) any property subject to a Lien permitted hereunder in reliance upon clause (xiii) of the definition of Permitted Liens and
(iii) all of the Collateral and all Credit Parties, upon (A) indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations under the Transaction Documents and termination of the Transaction Documents (including all commitments (if any) to lend hereunder and (B) to the extent requested by Agent, receipt by Agent and the Lenders and Holders of liability releases from the Credit Parties each in form and substance acceptable to Agent.


ARTICLE 13 MISCELLANEOUS

Lenders and the Holders on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, legal expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees (whether for internal or outside counsel), incurred by the Agent, the Lenders and the Holders in connection with (i) the investigation, development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, interpretation or administration of, any modification of any term of or termination of, this Agreement and any other Transaction Document, any commitment or proposal letter therefor, any other document prepared in connection therewith or the consummation and administration of any transaction contemplated therein, and any other transactions between the Credit Parties and the Agent, the Lenders and the Holders, including, without limitation, UCC and other public record searches and filings, overnight courier or other express or messenger delivery, appraisal costs,

The Credit Parties shall also pay all normal service charges  with respect to all accounts maintained by the Credit Parties with the Lenders and/or the Holders and any additional services requested by the Credit Parties from the Lenders and/or the Holders. All such costs, expenses and charges shall constitute Obligations hereunder, shall be payable by the Credit Parties to the applicable Lenders or Holders on demand, and, until paid, shall bear interest at the highest rate then applicable to the Notes hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, if (a) any Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding or any Holder or Lender otherwise takes action to collect amounts due under such Note or to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or such Note or (b) there occurs any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of any Credit Party or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Agreement or such Note, then the Credit Parties shall pay the costs incurred by such Holder or such Lender for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (including such fees and disbursements related to seeking relief from any stay, automatic or otherwise, in effect under any Bankruptcy Law).


Section 13.2 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware. Each  party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such

EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.


Section 13.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party; provided that a facsimile or .pdf signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile or .pdf signature.


Section 13.4 Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of  reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

Section 13.6 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Agent, the Holders, the Lenders, the Credit Parties, their Affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, none of the Credit Parties or the Agent, any Holder or any Lender makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.

Section 13.8 Successors and Assigns; Participants. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the Notes or the Conversion Shares. None of the Credit Parties shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Agent, including by way of a Change of Control. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9 hereof, a Lender or Holder may assign some or all of its rights and obligations hereunder in connection with the transfer of any of its Notes or Conversion Shares to any Person (an “Assignee”), with the prior written consent of the Agent and, so long as no Event of Default exists, the Borrower Representative (which consent of the Borrower Representative shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and neither of which consents shall be required for an assignment by (i) a Lender to an Assignee that is (A) another Lender or Holder

or (B) an Affiliate of such assigning Lender or (ii) a Holder to an Assignee that is (A) another Holder or Lender or (B) an Affiliate of such assigning Holder); provided, however, that (a) the Borrower Representative shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof, (b) for purposes of clarification, the Borrower Representative hereby consents to any such assignment (including, without limitation, a Principal Only Assignment (as defined below)) to each of (i) Raven Capital Management, LLC, (ii) Hudson Cove Capital Management LLC, (iii) BasePoint Capital and/or (iv) their respective Affiliates, (c) anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the UK Term Notes may not be offered, sold or delivered, directly or indirectly, within the United Kingdom or to, or for the account or benefit of a Person within the United Kingdom and no transfer of UK Term Notes made in breach of this restriction will be registered by the UK Borrower and (d) no Notes or Commitments may be offered, assigned, sold or delivered by a Lender or Holder that is not an Affiliate of Agent to any Person (other than to (x) an Affiliate of such Lender or Holder or (y) to a Lender or Holder that is an Affiliate of Agent) without first offering to Agent and Agent’s designees an opportunity to purchase such Notes and/or Commitments at their fair market value (such fair market value to be reasonably determined by such transferring Lender or Holder and Agent, provided, that if such transferring Lender or Holder obtains a bona fide offer from a third party that is a permitted Assignee for such Notes and/or Commitments and such Lender or Holder is prepared to accept such offer, the fair market value shall be the price offered by such third party for such Notes and/or Commitments). Each such permitted Assignee shall be deemed to be the Lender (or, as provided below, a Holder) hereunder with respect to such assigned rights and obligations, and the Credit Parties shall ensure that such transferee is registered as a Holder and that any Liens on the Collateral shall be for the benefit of such Holder (as well as the other Holders of Notes). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Agent may from time to time  update the Schedule of Lenders attached hereto to reflect any assignments made pursuant to this Section 13.8. For purposes of clarification, a Lender may assign all or a portion of such Lender’s outstanding Notes (and its corresponding rights and obligations hereunder in connection therewith) with or without an assignment of all or a portion of such Lender’s portion of the applicable Commitments. Any Assignee of all or a portion of a Lender’s outstanding Notes (and its corresponding rights and obligations hereunder in connection therewith) who shall not have also been assigned all or a portion of such Lender’s Commitment(s) (such assignment, a “Principal Only Assignment”), shall be deemed a “Holder” and not a “Lender” hereunder, and all or such portion of the Notes held by such Lender that shall have been assigned to such Holder pursuant to the Principal Only Assignment shall be evidenced by and entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and, if requested by such Holder, a Note payable to such Holder in an amount equal to the principal amount of outstanding Notes as shall have been assigned to such Holder pursuant to such Principal Only Assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, any Assignee of a Principal Only Assignment shall have no obligation to fund or advance any draws under this Agreement or any Note. For purposes of determining whether the Borrowers have reached the Maximum US Term Note Commitment, Maximum UK Term Note Commitment, and/or Maximum Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Note Commitment hereunder, any principal amount of Notes outstanding with respect to a Principal Only Assignment shall be included in such determination. In connection with any permitted assignment by a Holder of some or all of its rights and obligations hereunder, upon the request of such Holder, the Borrowers shall cause to be delivered to the Assignee thereof either (i) a letter from Outside Legal Counsel indicating that it may rely upon the opinion letter delivered by it pursuant to Section 5.1(f)(i) or (ii) an opinion from other legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Assignee to the effect of such opinion letter, in either case dated on or before the effective date of such assignment. In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 13.8, each Lender may, without notice to or consent from Agent or the Borrower Representative, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights

and obligations under the Transaction Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Notes); provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Transaction Document or of such participation, (i) no such participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to fund draws under the Notes hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable participation agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Credit Parties and the Agent and other Lenders towards such Lender, under any Transaction Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the applicable Obligations in the Register, except that each such participant shall be entitled to the benefit of Section 2.6; provided, however, that in no case shall a participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Transaction Document, and (iii) the consent of such participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Transaction Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Transaction Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non- fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, 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 Notes or other obligations under the Transaction Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant's interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Transaction Document) to any Person other than Agent except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.


Section 13.9 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement  is  intended  for  the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.


Section 13.10 Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants of the Credit Parties and the Lenders contained in the Transaction Documents shall survive the Fourth Restatement Closing. Each Lender and each Holder shall be responsible only for its own agreements and covenants hereunder.


Section 13.11 Further Assurances. Each Credit Party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.


Section 13.12 Indemnification. In consideration of the Agent’s and each Lender’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquisition of the Securities hereunder and in addition 


[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED







to all of the Credit Parties’ other obligations under the Transaction Documents, subject to the 956 Limitations, the Credit Parties shall jointly and severally defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Agent, each Lender, each other Holder, each of their respective Affiliates and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes  of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by any Credit Party in this Agreement, any other Transaction Documents, any Bank Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of any Credit Party contained  in this Agreement, any other Transaction Documents, any Bank Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (c) the present or former status of any Credit Party as a U.S. real property holding corporation for federal income tax purposes within the meaning of Section 897 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if applicable, (d) the Program and the Requirements and transactions otherwise contemplated by or further described in the Transaction Documents or any Bank Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, as a result of any litigation or administrative proceeding before any court or governmental or administrative body presently pending or threatened against any Indemnitee as a result of or arising from the foregoing, (e) the imposition of any Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on amounts payable under the Transaction Documents paid by such Indemnitee and any liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally asserted, (f) any improper use or disclosure or unlawful use or disclosure of Customer Information by a Credit Party or (g) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of any Credit Party) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, any other Transaction Documents, any Bank Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the Securities, or (iii) the status of such Lender or Holder as a lender to the Borrowers pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any Bank Transaction Documents. To the extent that the foregoing undertakings by the Credit Parties may be unenforceable for any reason, the Credit Parties shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. No Credit Party shall assert, and each waives, any claim against the Indemnitees on any theory of liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of, in connection with or as a result of, this Agreement of any of the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The agreements in this Section 13.12 shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the Bank Transaction Documents.


Section 13.13 No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.


Section 13.14 Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Agent, any Holder or any Lender 


[****] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED







in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or any of the other Transaction Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.


Section 13.15 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that any of the Credit Parties makes a payment or payments to the Agent, the Holders or the Lenders hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or the Agent, the Holders or the Lenders enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to any of the Credit Parties, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.


Section 13.16 Independent Nature of the Lenders’ and the Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Lender and each Holder under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Lender or Holder, and no Lender or Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Lender or Holder under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by the Agent, any Lender or Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Agent, the Lenders and/or the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Agent, the Holders and/or the Lenders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and each of the Credit Parties acknowledges that the Agent, the Lenders and the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the  Transaction Documents. Each Lender and each Holder confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Lender and each Holder shall be entitled to independently protect  and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Lender or Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.


Section 13.17 Set-off; Sharing of Payments.


(a)Each of Agent, each Lender, each Holder and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by each Credit Party), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by Agent, such Lender, such Holder or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Credit Party against any Obligation of any Credit Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any

Transaction Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. No Lender or Holder shall exercise any such right of setoff without the prior consent of Agent. Each of Agent, each Lender and each Holder agrees promptly to notify the Borrower Representative and Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, Holder or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights under this Section 13.7(a) are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Agent, the Lenders, the Holders or their Affiliates, may have.


(b)If any Lender or Holder, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Credit Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Sections 2.6 or 13.8 and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender or Holder would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, such Lender or Holder shall purchase for cash from other Lenders or Holders such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender or Holder to share such excess payment with such Lenders or Holders to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrower Representative, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (i) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender or Holder in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender or Holder without interest and (ii) such Lender or Holder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or Holder were the direct creditor of the applicable Credit Party in the amount of such participation.


Section 13.18 Reserved.


Section 13.19 Reaffirmation. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement is not intended to and shall not serve to effect a novation of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Third Amended and Restated Financing Agreement). Instead, it is the express intention of the parties hereto to reaffirm the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities created under the Original Financing Agreement (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Financing Agreement), the Second Amended and Restated Financing Agreement, the Third Amended and Restated Financing Agreement and the Notes, which are evidenced by the Notes and secured by the Collateral. Each Credit Party acknowledges, ratifies, reaffirms and confirms that the Liens and security interests granted pursuant to the Security Documents secure the indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Credit Parties to the Agent, the Lenders and Holders under the Notes, the Original Financing Agreement (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Financing Agreement), the Second Amended and Restated Financing Agreement, and the Third Amended and Restated Financing Agreement, as amended and restated pursuant to the Notes and this Agreement, respectively (except that the grants of security interests, mortgages and Liens under and pursuant to the Security Documents (including previous grants of security interests, mortgages and Liens under and pursuant to the Security Documents as defined in the Original Financing Agreement (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Financing

The Transaction Documents and all  agreements, instruments and documents executed or delivered in connection with any of the foregoing shall each be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Section 13.19. Each reference to the “Financing Agreement” or the “Notes” in any Transaction Document shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement and the Notes issued or reaffirmed hereunder, respectively (as each may be further amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time). Cross-references in the Transaction Documents to particular section numbers in the Original Financing Agreement (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Financing Agreement), the Second Amended and Restated Financing Agreement, or Third Amended and Restated Financing Agreement, as applicable, shall be deemed to be cross-references to the corresponding sections, as applicable, of this Agreement.


Section 13.20 Release of Agent and Lenders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, each Credit Party voluntarily, knowingly, unconditionally and irrevocably, with specific and express intent, for and on behalf of itself, its managers, members, directors, officers, employees, stockholders, Affiliates, agents, representatives, auditors, attorneys, successors and assigns, fiduciaries, principals, investment managers, investors and their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby fully and completely releases and forever discharges Agent, each Lender, each Holder, their respective successors and assigns and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, advisors, shareholders, attorneys and Affiliates and any other Person or insurer which may be responsible or liable for the acts or omissions of any of them, or who

Each  Credit Party acknowledges the foregoing release is a material inducement to Agent, each Lender’s and each Holder's decision to extend to Borrowers the financial accommodations hereunder and has been relied upon by the Agent, each Holder and each Lender in agreeing to purchase the Notes.


Section 13.21 Buy-Out Option. Each Last Out Note Holder hereby agrees that:


(a)at any time on or after the date that the Agent shall have voted in favor of any waiver, amendment, consent, request or election relating to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document that requires the affirmative vote of each of the Last Out Note Holders under Section 13.6 of this Agreement, which affirmative vote of each of the Last Out Note Holders shall not have been received (the “Holdout Buy-Out”) (the Last Out Note Holders (who failed to provide such vote) whose interest in the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes that the First Out Note Holders elect to purchase in connection with the Holdout Buy-Out, each a “Holdout Last Out Note Holder” and collectively, the “Holdout Last Out Note Holders”), then any of the First Out Note Holders (each, a “Committed First Out Note Holder” and collectively, the “Committed First Out Note Holders”) shall have the right by giving a written notice (a “First Out Committed Buy-Out Notice”; it being understood that the First Out Note Holders shall have no obligation to send a First Out Committed Buy-Out Notice) to the Last Out Note Holders to acquire (ratably in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of the First Out Notes or as shall otherwise be determined by the Agent) on or before the date that is 10 Business Days after the date of the Last Out Note Holders’ receipt of such First Out Committed Buy-Out Notice, from the Last Out Note Holders of the right, title, and interest of the Last Out Note Holders (or, with respect to the Holdout Buy-Out, of the Holdout Last Out Note Holders only) in and to the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes; provided, however, that if any First Out Note Holder elects not to participate in the buy-out contemplated by this Section 13.21, any other First Out Note Holder (or such other Person(s) designated by the Agent) may purchase the ratable portion of the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes that such declining First Out Note Holder otherwise would have been entitled to purchase.


(b)Upon the receipt by the Last Out Note Holders of the First Out Committed Buy-Out Notice, the Committed First Out Note Holders that have elected to participate in the buy-out contemplated in this Section 13.21 shall irrevocably be committed to acquire from the Last Out Note Holders (or, with respect to the Holdout Buy-Out, from the Holdout Last Out Note Holders only) on the date specified by the First Out Note Holders in the First Out Committed Buy-Out Notice (which date shall be within 10 Business Days after receipt by the Last Out Note Holders of the First Out Committed Buy-Out Notice) all (but not less than all) of the right, title, and interest of the Last Out Note Holders (or, with respect to the Holdout Buy-Out, from the Holdout Last Out Note Holders only) in and to the Fourth Tranche US Last Out Notes by paying to the Last Out Note Holders (or, with respect to the Holdout Buy-Out, the applicable Holdout Last Out Note Holder only), in cash a purchase price (the “First Out Purchase Price”) equal to the sum of:

In connection with such assignment, the applicable Last Out Note Holders (or, with respect to the Holdout Buy-Out, the Holdout Last Out Note Holders) shall deliver to the First Out Note Holders their original Fourth Tranche US Last Out Term Notes and shall execute such other customary documents, instruments, and agreements reasonably necessary to effect such assignment, whereupon the Last Out Note Holders (or, with respect to the Holdout Buy- Out, the Holdout Last Out Note Holders) shall be relieved from any further duties, obligations, or liabilities to the First Out Note Holders pursuant to this Agreement.


(d)Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each First Out Note Holder and each Last Out Note Holder hereby agree that the Committed First Out Note Holders may (i) subject to the terms of this Agreement, assign and delegate to any assignee any of the rights and obligations acquired by the First Out Note Holders as a result of the exercise of their rights pursuant to this Section 13.21 and (ii) offer the right to each other First Out Note Holder to participate in such purchase by the First Out Note Holders pursuant to this Section 13.21 in proportion to their respective pro rata shares of the First Out Notes.
