NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby

 1. Initial Term. Effective as of the Transaction Effective Date, the text of Section

 2. Pre-Purchased Mileage Facility. Effective as of
the Transaction Effective Date, Section 5A of the Agreement is deleted and the following new Section 5A is inserted in its place: 
 “5A
Pre-Purchased Mileage Facility. 
 5A.1 Pre-Purchased Miles Facility. On the Transaction Effective
Date, Barclays will establish and implement a Pre-Purchased Miles facility (the “Facility”) pursuant to which Barclays will pre-purchase Purchase Miles
(“Pre-Purchased Miles”). Subject to, and adjusted as contemplated by, the further terms of this Section 5A, the target size of the Facility (the “Target Size”) will be *****.
The initial amount of the Facility will be *****. The amount of the Facility will be reset for the then current calendar year on ***** and on each ***** thereafter during the Initial Term through and including ***** (each, an “Annual Reset
Date”). The Facility will initially be funded by the purchase by Barclays on the Transaction Effective Date of the number of Pre-Purchased Miles equal to the difference between ***** and the value
(valued at ***** per Pre-Purchased Mile) of the number of Pre-Purchased Miles previously purchased by Barclays pursuant to the terms of this Agreement which are unused
and outstanding on the Transaction Effective Date. The price for each Pre-Purchased Mile purchased by Barclays pursuant to any provision of this Section 5A shall be *****. Barclays obligation to purchase
additional Pre-Purchased Miles on the Transaction Effective Date or in respect of any Annual Reset Date or Semi-Annual Reset Date (as defined below) pursuant to this Section 5A shall be conditioned upon the
Conditions Precedent (as defined below) being satisfied on such dale. If the Conditions Precedent are not satisfied on any such date then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5A, the Target Size of the Facility will not be subject to
increase but may be reduced as provided in Section 5A.1.1, 5A.1.2 or 5A.1.3. 
 5A.1.1 A forecast of Revenue Share for each calendar year during the Initial
Term *****, for purposes of determining the Target Size for such year, will be developed jointly by Barclays and Frontier on or before ***** and each ***** thereafter through *****. In the event Barclays and Frontier do not agree on any such
forecast (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed by either party), an annualized amount based upon the actual Revenue Share for the months of July through December of the immediately preceding calendar year will be used for
calculating the Target Size for the new calendar year. If the Target Size is larger than (a) ***** on ***** or (b) the Target Size for the prior year on ***** or on any ***** thereafter through *****, Barclays will increase the Target Size of
the Facility to the amount of the forecasted Revenue Share for such year by ***** of such year by means of the purchase of additional Pre-Purchased Miles. If the Target Size is less than (i) ***** on ***** or
(ii) the Target Size for the prior calendar year on ***** or on any ***** thereafter through *****, the Facility will be reduced to the new Target Size following the annual review process by amortizing the amount of the reduction equally over
the ***** of such year by deducting such reduction amounts from monthly Revenue Share amounts otherwise due to Frontier under this Agreement. 
 5A.1.2 If
on ***** the annualized Revenue Share for the year, calculated based upon the actual Revenue Share for the ***** of the year (the “Annualized Run Rate”), is projected to be ***** or more below the Target Size set for such year,
Barclays shall recover the amount in excess of the ***** deficiency, and the Target Size will be reduced, ***** of Revenue Share amounts 

  

	*****	Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

otherwise due to Frontier under this Agreement. If on ***** the Annualized Run Rate for the year is projected to be ***** or more above the Target Size for such year, Barclays shall increase the
Target Size by the amount of the Revenue Share in, excess of the ***** overage. The increase in the amount of the Facility will be accomplished by means of the purchase of additional Pre-Purchased Miles by
Barclays on or before *****. 
 5A.1.3 If on ***** or on each ***** thereafter through *****, the Annualized Run Rate for the year is projected to be *****
or more below the Target Size set for such year, Barclays shall recover the amount in excess of the ***** deficiency, and the Target Size will be reduced, in ***** of Revenue Share amounts otherwise due to Frontier under this Agreement. If on *****
or on any ***** thereafter through *****, the Annualized Run Rate is projected to be ***** or more above the Target Size for such year, Barclays shall increase the Target Size by the amount of the Revenue Share in excess of the ***** overage. The
increase in the amount of the Facility will be accomplished by means of the purchase of additional Pre-Purchased Miles by Barclays on or before ***** of the applicable year. 

5A.1.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5A, the maximum Target Size of the Facility will be *****. If actual Revenue Share payable to
Frontier pursuant to this Agreement has exceeded ***** on any rolling consecutive ***** during the Initial Term and the Conditions Precedent shall have been continually satisfied during such period, Barclays will employ commercially reasonable
efforts to resize the Facility based on the overall attributes of the Frontier business at the time. 
 5A.2 Use of
Pre-Purchased Miles. Barclays shall use the Pre-Purchased Miles to compensate Frontier for fees otherwise earned hereunder in the manner and in accordance with the
following terms and conditions. In addition, Frontier shall pay interest on the value of the outstanding Pre-Purchased Miles as set forth below. 

5A.2.1 In each mouth that Barclays holds Pre-Purchased Miles, it shall compensate Frontier for fees earned hereunder
with Pre-Purchased Miles pursuant to the following process: *****. For the avoidance of doubt, the reporting and use of Pre-Purchased Miles as payment in lieu of cash
shall occur within the time frames established in Section 5. 
 5A.2.2 On the ***** calendar day of each calendar month, except for the month of *****
where the interest payment shall be due *****, so long as any Pre-Purchased Miles remain outstanding, *****. Unless otherwise agreed, *****. For purposes of this Agreement, “Adjustable Rate”
for Miles purchased up to ***** shall mean the *****. For purposes of this Agreement, “Adjustable Rate” for miles purchased above ***** shall mean the *****. “Interest Period” shall mean for any calendar month
during the Initial Term, *****. The monthly calculation will be as follows: *****. 
  

	5A.3	Subsequent Monthly Purchases. 

 5A.3.1 Commencing in the first full calendar month following the month in
which the Transaction Effective Date occurs and thereafter for each calendar month through *****, provided that in each such month the Conditions Precedent are satisfied, Barclays shall purchase 

  

	*****	Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 



  
 - 3 - 








 
additional Pre-Purchased Miles in an amount *****. Each Subsequent Purchase shall occur no later than the ***** of the month following the month in which
the Conditions Precedent are measured or ***** after the receipt of the Officer Certificates due pursuant to Section 13(b) (each a “Subsequent Purchase Date”); provided that Subsequent Purchases that occur in ***** shall occur on
the later of ***** or ***** after receipt of the Officer Certificates due pursuant to Section 13(b). 
 5A.3.2 No Subsequent Purchase shall be made pursuant
to Section 5A.3.1 with respect to any month in which the Facility is increased pursuant to Section 5A.1.1, 5A.1.2 or 5A.1.3. 
 5A.3.3 Prior to ***** (the
“Repurchase Commencement Date”), in each month in which the Conditions Precedent are not satisfied, the Facility will be reduced by ***** of the Facility as measured in the ***** in which the Conditions Precedent were not satisfied
(the “Reduction”). For avoidance of doubt, it is the intent that the size of the Reduction shall be fixed on the first measuring date and shall not be recalculated monthly. 

5A.3.4 In the event the Facility is reduced pursuant to Section 5A.3.3 because of a failure of any Condition Precedent to be satisfied, and all Conditions
Precedent are subsequently satisfied for three (3) consecutive months and it is prior to the Repurchase Commencement Date, then, subject to Section 5A.3.7, the Facility shall be *****.1,1, 5A.1.2 or 5A.1.3. Until and unless the Facility is
returned to the level prescribed in this Section 5A.3.4, no increases will be made to the Target Size of the Facility under Section 5A.1.1, 5A.1.2 or 5A.1.3. 

5A.3.5 Commencing on the Repurchase Commencement Date, the Facility will be reduced by ***** of the Facility as measured on the Repurchase Commencement Date
each month until such time as no Pre-Purchased Miles remain outstanding (the “Buy Down Reduction”). Any reduction in the Facility will be offset against Revenue Share otherwise payable to
Frontier, at the value of ***** per reduced Pre-Purchased Mile. However, in the event that the Revenue Share earned during a calendar month hereunder is less than the Reduction or Buy Down Reduction, as
applicable, then Frontier shall for each such month pay Barclays the *****. 
 5A.3.6 As used herein, “Unused
Pre-Purchased Miles” shall mean the outstanding dollar amount of the Pre-Purchased Miles held by Barclays on any given measurement date. 

5A3.7 The parties acknowledge and agree that in the event the Facility is in the process of being reduced to its currently effective Target Size pursuant to
Sections 5A.1.1, 5A.1.2 or 5A.1.3, the Reduction contemplated by this Section 5A.3 shall control and take precedence over the reductions contemplated by any of Sections 5A.1.1, 5A.1.2 or 5A.1.3, and the Facility shall be reduced monthly solely by
the Reduction; provided, that, in the event that in any month a Reduction payment is no longer required under this Section 5A.3 because the Conditions Precedent have been met for the period of time required hereunder and the Facility has not yet
been reduced to the currently effective Target Size, then the reduction payments contemplated by Sections 5A.1.1, 5A.1.2 or 5A.1.3 shall be made until the currently effective Target Size is reached, such reduction payments to be amortized over the
remaining months prior to the next Annual Reset Date or Semi-Annual Reset Date, as applicable.

 5A.4 Conditions Precedent. Barclays’ obligation to make any purchase of Pre-Purchased Miles pursuant to this Section 5A will only arise upon and is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions (the “Conditions Precedent”) each month prior to the month in
which any such purchase of additional Pre-Purchased Miles is to be made: 
 (i) Frontier shall
maintain Unrestricted Cash at the levels described in the matrix set forth below (measured at the end of each month), provided that if Frontier fails to meet the Unrestricted Cash level in any applicable month, Frontier must then also meet the
EBITDAR coverage ratio level set forth below. Failure to meet both tests shall be deemed a failure to meet the Conditions Precedent. Further provided that if Frontier fails to maintain the applicable Unrestricted Cash threshold in successive months,
the EBITDAR test shall not apply in the second month and the failure to maintain the Unrestricted Cash shall be deemed a failure of the Conditions Precedent regardless of the level of EBITDAR: 

 

															
	 *****
	 	*****	 	*****	 	*****	 	*****	 	*****	 	*****	 	*****
	 *****
	 	*****	 	*****	 	*****	 	*****	 	*****	 	*****	 	*****

	 *****
	 	*****	 	*****	 	*****	 	*****	 	*****	 	*****	 	*****

 If Unrestricted Cash falls below the agreed upon level set forth in the foregoing matrix, then the EBITDAR,
defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent (excluding any non-cash, non-operating expense) measured on *****. An example of the
EBITDAR coverage ratio calculation, is set forth on Schedule 3. 
 As used herein, the term “Unrestricted Cash” means the
sum of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and available for sale securities (in each case unrestricted) maintained by Frontier as depicted on its balance sheet; the term “Principal Interest & Rent”
means amounts due in respect of borrowed money or leases of assets; and all other terms are defined as they are under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). 

(ii) No Suspension Event has occurred in and is continuing as of the last day of the month being measured, as determined following expiration
of applicable cure, grace or dispute periods. 
 (iii) Frontier shall not be in default of any indebtedness for borrowed money in excess of
***** (in the aggregate), which default is continuing as of the last day of the month being measured, as determined following expiration of applicable cure, grace or dispute periods.

 (iv) No Business Combination (as defined in Section 26) to which Frontier is a party, or to
which it is subject as a direct or indirect subsidiary, or any other merger to which Frontier is a party, has been approved by the board of directors and/or shareholders of Frontier, Frontier’s ultimate parent or any of their respective
subsidiaries; provided that this Section 5A.4(iv) shall not constitute a Condition Precedent if (x) the Business Combination does not result in the failure of a Condition Precedent per Section 5A.4(i), (ii), (iii) or (v), (y) this Agreement
remains in full force and effect and binding on Frontier or an applicable surviving entity following the closing of the Business Combination and (z) Frontier or an applicable surviving entity is in compliance in all material respects with all
of the terms and conditions of this Agreement upon the closing of the Business Combination (including, without limitation, having caused the subordination of all unsecured loan facilities or equity investments pursuant to Section 30 of this
Agreement). 
 (v) Frontier shall have complied with the reporting requirements set forth in Section 13(b) for the month being measured. 

5A.5 Prepayment. Frontier may repurchase all or any portion of the Pre-Purchased Miles at any time, or from
time to time, without penalty or premium, for a purchase price of ***** per Pre- Purchased Mile. Frontier shall repurchase all Unused Pre-Purchased Miles, if any, that
are outstanding on the date of termination of this Agreement, whether termination is at the end of the Initial Term or upon an event causing an earlier termination, for a Purchase Price of ***** per
Pre-Purchased Mile, which Purchase Price shall be payable on the date of termination. Any prepayment shall include accrued interest, if any, in accordance with Section 5A.2.2. 

5A.6 Acceptance of Payment with Pre-Purchase Miles. Frontier agrees to accept payment in Pre-Purchased Miles as provided in this Section 5A in lieu of cash and irrevocably waives any rights to receive Cash or other consideration for such payments regardless of the then value of a Pre-Purchased Mile. 
 5A.7 Other Uses of Pre-Purchased Miles. Barclays may
use Pre-Purchased Miles for purposes other than as set forth in this Section 5A subject to Frontier’s approval of such other uses, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Frontier
has not satisfied the Conditions Precedent under Section 5A.4 above, Frontier’s approval of other uses is not required. Frontier shall provide commercially reasonable methods to redeem these Pre-
Purchased Miles (e.g., mileage certificates or assignment to frequent flyer accounts) to facilitate the use of the Pre-Purchased Miles by Barclays and/or the recipient of such
Pre-Purchased Miles. This obligation shall survive termination of this Agreement. If Barclays uses Pre-Purchased Miles pursuant to this Section 5A.7 Barclays shall
provide monthly reports detailing the use of such Pre-Purchased Miles. The Pre-Purchased Miles Barclays uses under this Section 5A.7 during any month will be deducted
from the Facility and included in calculating Unused Pre- Purchased Miles.

 5A.8 Transportation Tax. Frontier’s obligation to fund the Transportation Tax, as set forth in
Section 5(b) of this Agreement, shall not occur with respect to Pre-Purchased Miles unless and until Barclays awards such Pre-Purchased Miles to cardholders and/or
others such that the recipient may use such Pre-Purchased Miles for redemption for air travel.” 

3. Effective as of the Transaction Effective Date, the definition of “Suspension Event” set forth in Sections 6(b)(i) through
(vi) is deleted and the following inserted in its place: 
 “(i) Frontier fails to maintain a frequent flyer program that is as
competitive on a relative basis in the Benchmark Market as the EarlyReturns Program is as of ***** based on domestic award levels and domestic mileage earning capability, provided that Barclays provides notice of the failure to maintain the frequent
flyer program, including notice in reasonable detail and with backup information for why and how Barclays believes the frequent flyer program is not adequately competitive. Such notice will commence a ***** period during which Frontier may cure the
deficiency, during which period no Redaction in the size of the Facility shall occur under Section 5A.3 as a result of the occurrence of this Suspension Event;

 5. Post-Termination Solicitation of Frontier
Members. Effective as of the Transaction Effective Date, the following is added to the Agreement as new Section 15A(vii): 
 “(vii)
Post-Termination Solicitation of Frontier Members. Notwithstanding anything contained in Sections 4, 15, 15A, and 16, and for the avoidance of doubt, upon termination of this Agreement, and in the event that Frontier was eligible to exercise its
Purchase Option pursuant to Section 15A(ii) but declines to do so, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Frontier from soliciting Frontier Members through the use of Frontier Member Data to enroll in a subsequently created co-branded credit card program between Frontier and other parties, including but not limited to competitors of Barclays. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Frontier nor any entity which Frontier controls shall
by itself or in conjunction with others, directly or indirectly, use the fact that a person is a Barclays Cardholder to specifically target any offer of a credit card or credit card related product to any Barclays Cardholder, provided that nothing
herein shall be construed to prevent Frontier from offering a credit card or credit card related product if the offer did not include Barclays Cardholder membership as a criteria in selecting the recipients of the offer.” 

6. Business Combination. Effective as of the Transaction Effective Date, the following is added to the Agreement as new
Section 26, to follow Section 25: 
 “26. Business Combination. In the event Frontier engages in, or is subject to, a
Business Combination (as defined below) with an Other Carrier (as defined below), the following provisions shall apply: 
 (a) If Frontier
is the surviving airline and the Other Carrier does not have a contractual relationship with a co-brand credit card issuer, Barclays shall remain the sole issuer of the
co-branded credit card for the Affinity Program for the combined airlines through the Initial Term. 

  

	*****	Confidential portions of the material have been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 



  
 - 8 - 








 (b) If Frontier is the surviving airline and the Other Carrier is a party to an agreement with
any Person other than Barclays pursuant to which such Other Carrier endorses, sponsors, promotes or otherwise offers a credit card product associated with its frequent flyer program (a “Competing Agreement”), Frontier will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to make Barclays the exclusive issuer of the co-branded credit card associated with the combined frequent flyer program of Frontier and the Other Carrier and to provide Barclays
the right to purchase the credit card portfolio of the issuer (the “Other Issuer”) of the co-branded credit card associated with the Other Carrier’s frequent flyer program. If Barclays
becomes the exclusive issuer, Barclays agrees that it will provide the combined airline with a co-branded credit card product of equal or greater value to Frontier and the Frontier Members than the Other
Issuer’s affinity card based on an overall assessment of the two programs, including, without limitation, the assessment of all compensation, cost of customization and the value proposition. In the event the Other Issuer’s credit card
portfolio cannot be purchased by Barclays, Barclays agrees that it will waive its exclusivity to Frontier Marks and miles currency under the EarlyReturns Program to enable the Other Issuer to service its credit card portfolio existing on the date of
the Business Combination through the existing term of the Other Issuer’s co-brand agreement (subject to an agreement not to disparage or tarnish Barclays and/or the Affinity Program, appropriate
provisions to avoid customer confusion and/or any such terms and conditions that may be required by law or for regulatory purposes), 
 (c)
If Frontier is not the surviving airline and the Other Carrier does not have a Competing Agreement or there is a Competing Agreement but it does not survive the Business Combination, then Frontier will assign its rights and obligations under this
Agreement to the Other Carrier, subject to appropriate adjustments to this Agreement as referenced in Section 26(e) (such adjustments to be agreed upon by the parties, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). 

(d) If Frontier is not the surviving airline and the Other Carrier has a Competing Agreement, then Frontier will use commercially reasonable
efforts to make Barclays the exclusive issuer of the co-branded credit card associated with the combined frequent flyer program of Frontier and the Other Carrier. If Barclays does not become the exclusive
issuer, Barclays shall be permitted to continue servicing the Frontier portfolio under this Agreement through the Initial Term. In such circumstance, Barclays will *****. 

(e) If a Business Combination to which this Section 26 applies will result in a significantly larger combined airline with Barclays as
the exclusive credit card issuer, Barclays agrees that it will evaluate in good faith appropriate adjustments to increase the Target size of the Facility and the Acquisition Budget 

(f) If, in connection with a Business Combination to which this Section 26 applies. Barclays becomes a
co-issuer of a co-branded card for the combined airlines with an Other Issuer, and if the Barclays co-branded credit card program
becomes uncompetitive with that of the Other Issuer in terms of the consumer value proposition, Frontier shall give written notice to Barclays setting forth in reasonable detail its views as to why the Barclays program is uncompetitive in the
Benchmark Market. Barclays shall thereafter have a period of ***** to cure the uncompetitive aspect of its program. If the uncompetitive feature of Barclays program

 - 9 - 








 
is not so cured within such cure period, Frontier will have the right to cease marketing the Barclays program and to market the Other Issuer’s program to the Frontier membership; provided
that information about whether the Frontier Member is a Barclays cardholder under the EarlyReturns Program is not used for targeting the Barclays’ cardholder base. 

(g) This Section 26 shall only apply to a Business Combination involving Frontier and an Other Carrier that contemplates
(i) ultimately merging Frontier and the Other Carrier onto a single operating certificate for regulatory purposes and (ii) the merging of the combined airlines into a single brand. Section 26 shall not apply to a change in control,
initial public offering or other business combination, even with another airline, that contemplates the continued operation of Frontier as a separate carrier. For the avoidance of doubt, if the brands of the separate carriers are not merged,
Barclays will remain the exclusive issuer for the Frontier co-branded credit card program. 
 (h) As
used in this Section 26: 
 “Business Combination” means any business combination transaction between
Frontier, Frontier’s ultimate parent or any of their respective subsidiaries and an Other Carrier, whether by merger or consolidation, by acquisition of a majority of equity securities pursuant to a tender offer, exchange offer or purchase, or
by acquisition of a majority of assets pursuant to a sale, conveyance or other transfer of assets, 
 “Other
Carrier” means any air carrier (other than a subsidiary of Frontier), its parent, or any of their respective subsidiaries.” 

7. The parties acknowledge and agree that Frontier Airlines Holdings, Inc., Frontier and Barclays shall enter into a subordination agreement
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A to this Amendment on the Transaction Effective Date. 
 8. Additional Marketing Efforts.
Effective as of the Transaction Effective Date, the following language is added to Exhibit F to the Agreement: 
 “On or before
*****, Frontier, at its cost, shall undertake the following marketing efforts: 
 *****

Senior Obligation Documents) to the payment of the Senior Obligations then remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Obligations are Paid in Full.

effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment, pledge, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated Obligations, and the terms of this Agreement shall be automatically binding upon the successors and assigns of the
Subordinated Investor. 
 2.7 Legends. Until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with
Section 14 hereof, the Subordinated Investor will cause to be clearly, conspicuously and prominently inserted on the face of the Subordinated Obligation Documents a legend that refers to this Agreement. 

2.8 Obligations Hereunder Not Affected. All rights and interest of Barclays hereunder, and all agreements
and obligations of the Subordinated Investor and the Company hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect, irrespective of: 

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any document evidencing Senior Obligations; 

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, the amount of, or any other term of, all or any of the Senior
Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any release or consent to departure from any of the Senior Obligation Documents; 

  
 5 








 (c) any failure of Barclays to assert any claim or to enforce any right or remedy
against any other party hereto under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Senior Obligation Document other than this Agreement; 

(d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of the Senior Obligations for any reason (other than the defense of
payment in full of the Senior Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and the Company and the Subordinated Investor hereby waive any right to or claim of) any defense
(other than the defense of payment in full of the Senior Obligations) or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other
event or occurrence affecting, any Senior Obligations; and 
 (e) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
defense (other than the defense of payment in full of the Senior Obligations) available to, or a discharge of, the Company in respect of the Senior Obligations or the Subordinated Investor in respect of this Agreement. 

The Subordinated Investor acknowledges and agrees that Barclays may, solely to the extent permitted by the terms of the Affinity Agreement, without notice or
demand to the Subordinated Investor and without affecting or impairing the Subordinated Investor’s obligations hereunder from time to time (i) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of or
otherwise change the terms of the Senior Obligations or any part thereof; including, without limitation, to increase or decrease the rate of interest thereon or the amount of Pre-Purchased Miles constituting
the Facility thereof; (ii) take or hold security for the payment of the Senior Obligations and exchange, enforce, foreclose upon, waive and release any such security; (iii) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof
as Barclays in its sole discretion, may determine; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company or any other Person. 

3. Modifications to the Senior Obligation Documents; Intent. Barclays may at any time and from time to time without the
consent of or notice to the Subordinated Investor, without incurring liability to the Subordinated Investor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of the Subordinated Investor under this Agreement, change the manner or place of payment
or extend the time of payment of or renew or alter any of the terms of the Senior Obligations, or amend in any manner any agreement, note, guaranty or other instrument evidencing or securing or otherwise relating to the Senior Obligations. It is the
intent of the parties that the terms of this Agreement shall apply to any Investment made by the Subordinated Investor or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, and in the event an Investment is made by any subsidiary or Affiliate that is not a
party hereto, the Subordinated Investor covenants and agrees to cause such Person to execute a joinder to this Agreement or to execute or deliver an agreement substantially identical to this Agreement prior to the consummation of such Investment;
and, provided further, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not accept such Investment unless such Person has executed a joinder to this Agreement or executed and delivered an agreement substantially identical to this Agreement.

 4. Subrogation. Subject to the Payment in Full of all Senior Obligations in
accordance with the terms of the Affinity Agreement, to the extent that Barclays has received any Distribution on Senior Obligations which, but for this Agreement would have been applied to Subordinated Obligations, the Subordinated Investor shall
be subrogated to the rights of Barclays to receive Distributions with respect to the Senior Obligations until the Subordinated Obligations are paid in full (as if the Senior Obligations had not been Paid in Full in accordance with for terms of the
Affinity Agreement). The Subordinated Investor agrees that in the event that all or any part of a payment made with respect to the Senior Obligations is recovered from the holders of for Senior Obligations in a Proceeding or otherwise, any
Distribution received by the Subordinated Investor with respect to the Subordinated Obligations at any time after the date of the payment that is so recovered, whether pursuant to the right of subrogation provided for in this Agreement or otherwise,
shall be deemed to have been received by the Subordinated Investor in trust as property of the holders of the Senior Obligations and the Subordinated Investor shall forthwith deliver the same to Barclays for application to for Senior Obligations
until the Senior Obligations are paid in full. A Distribution made pursuant to this Agreement to Barclays which otherwise would have been made to the Subordinated Investor is not, as between, the Company and the Subordinated Investor, a payment by
the Company to or on account of the Senior Obligations. 
 5. Modification. Any modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any party from the terms hereof shall not be effective in any event unless the same is in writing and signed by Barclays, the Company and the Subordinated Investor, and then such modification,
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Any notice to or demand on any party hereto in any event not specifically required hereunder shall not entitle the party receiving such notice or
demand to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances unless specifically required hereunder. 

6. Further Assurances. Each party to this Agreement promptly will execute and deliver such further instruments and
agreements and do such further acts and things as may be reasonably requested in writing by any other party hereto that may be reasonably necessary or desirable in order to effect fully the purposes of this Agreement. 

7. Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice delivered under this Agreement shall be in writing
addressed to the respective party as set forth below and may be personally served, telecopied or sent by overnight courier service or certified or registered United States mail and shall be deemed to have been given (a) if delivered in person,
