SECTION 2THE LOAN
1.1Term Loan.

(i)Tranche A.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (A) on the Closing Date, Lenders will severally (and not jointly) make, and Borrower agrees to draw, a Term Loan Advance in an amount equal to Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) in accordance with their respective Tranche A Commitments, and (B) during the Tranche A Draw Period, Parent, on behalf of Borrower, may request and Lenders will severally (and not jointly) make one additional Term Loan Advance in an aggregate principal amount up to Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) in accordance with their respective Tranche A Commitments (such Term Loan Advances, the “Tranche A Advances”).  
(ii)Tranche B.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent, on behalf of Borrower, may, during the Tranche B Draw Period, request 
26







and Lenders will severally (and not jointly) make one or more additional Term Loan Advances in minimum increments of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (or if less, the remaining amount of Term Loan Advances available to be drawn pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(ii)) in an aggregate principal amount up to Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) in accordance with their respective Tranche B Commitments (such Term Loan Advances, the “Tranche B Advances”). 
(iii)Tranche C.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent, on behalf of Borrower, may, during the Tranche C Draw Period, request and Lenders will severally (and not jointly) make one or more additional Term Loan Advances in minimum increments of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (or if less, the remaining amount of Term Loan Advances available to be drawn pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(iii)) in an aggregate principal amount up to Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) in accordance with their respective Tranche C Commitments (such Term Loan Advances, the “Tranche C Advances”). 
(iv)Tranche D.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Parent, on behalf of Borrower, may, during the Tranche D Draw Period, request and Lenders will severally (and not jointly) make one or more additional Term Loan Advances in minimum increments of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (or if less, the remaining amount of Term Loan Advances available to be drawn pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(iv)) in an aggregate principal amount up to Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) in accordance with their respective Tranche D Commitments (such Term Loan Advances, the “Tranche D Advances”). 
(v)Tranche E.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and conditioned on approval by the Lenders’ investment committee(s) in their sole and unfettered discretion, Parent, on behalf of Borrower, may, at any time from the Closing Date until June 1, 2025, request and Lenders will severally (and not jointly) make one or more additional Term Loan Advances in minimum increments of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) (or if less, the remaining amount of Term Loan Advances available to be drawn pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(v)) in an aggregate principal amount up to the Tranche E Commitments in accordance with their respective Tranche E Commitments (such Term Loan Advances, the “Tranche E Advances”).
The Tranche A Advances, the Tranche B Advances, the Tranche C Advances, the Tranche D Advances and the Tranche E Advances are hereinafter referred to individually as a “Term Loan Advance” and collectively as the “Term Loan Advances”.  The aggregate outstanding Term Loan Advances may be up to the Maximum Term Loan Amount, plus, for the avoidance of doubt, any amount equal to the Term Loan PIK Interest added to principal pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(ii).  Each Term Loan Advance of each Lender shall not exceed its respective Term Commitment plus, for the avoidance of doubt, any amount equal to the Term Loan PIK Interest added to principal pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(ii).  Except as otherwise set forth above, proceeds of any Term Loan Advance shall be deposited into an account that is subject to a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Agent perfected by an Account Control Agreement.
(b)Advance Request.  To obtain a Term Loan Advance, Parent, on behalf of Borrower, shall complete, sign and deliver to the Agent an Advance Request (at 
27







least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period agreed to by the relevant Lenders in their sole discretion) before the Advance Date, other than the Term A Loan Advance pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i)(A), which shall be at least one (1) Business Day) to the Agent.  Lenders shall fund the Term Loan Advance in the manner requested by the Advance Request provided that each of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 to such Term Loan Advance is satisfied as of the requested Advance Date.
(c)Interest.  
(i)Term Loan Cash Interest Rate.  In addition to interest accrued pursuant to the Term Loan PIK Interest Rate, the principal balance (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any payment-in-kind interest added to the principal pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(ii)) of each Term Loan Advance shall bear interest thereon from such Advance Date at the Term Loan Cash Interest Rate based on a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days, with interest computed daily based on the actual number of days elapsed.  The Term Loan Cash Interest Rate will float and change on the day the “prime rate” as reported in The Wall Street Journal changes from time to time.
(ii)Term Loan PIK Interest Rate.  In addition to interest accrued pursuant to the Term Loan Cash Interest Rate, the principal balance of each Term Loan Advance shall bear interest thereon from such Advance Date at the Term Loan PIK Interest Rate based on a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days, with interest computed daily based on the actual number of days elapsed, which amount shall automatically be added to the outstanding principal balance so as to increase the outstanding principal balance of such Term Loan Advance on each payment date for such Advance, which principal amount shall accrue interest payable as provided in Section 2.1(c)(i) and which accrued and unpaid amount shall be payable when the principal amount of the Advance is payable in accordance with Section 2.1(d).
(d)Payment.  Borrower will pay interest on each Term Loan Advance on the first (1st) Business Day of each month, beginning the month after the Advance Date.  The entire principal balance of the Term Loan Advances and all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, and all other Secured Obligations with respect to the Term Loan Advances, shall be due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date.  Borrower shall make all payments under this Agreement without setoff, recoupment or deduction and regardless of any counterclaim or defense. Other than as described in the definition of “Term Loan Maturity Date”, if a payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately succeeding Business Day, but interest shall continue to accrue thereon until such payment.  Each Lender will initiate debit entries to Borrower’s account as authorized on the ACH Authorization (i) on each payment date of all periodic obligations payable to such Lender under each Term Loan Advance and (ii) out-of-pocket legal fees and costs documented in a summary invoice and incurred by the Agent or Lenders in connection with Section 11.12 of this Agreement; provided that, with respect to clause (i) above, in the event that any Lender or the Agent informs Borrower that Lenders will not initiate a debit entry to Borrower’s account for a certain amount of the periodic obligations due on a specific payment date, Borrower shall pay to Lenders, such amount of periodic obligations in full in immediately available funds on such payment date; provided, further, that, with respect to clause (i) above, if any Lender or the Agent informs Borrower that such Lender will not initiate a debit entry as described above later than the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to such payment date, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such amount of 
28







periodic obligations in full in immediately available funds on the date that is three (3) Business Days after the date on which such Lender or the Agent notifies Borrower thereof; provided, further, that, with respect to clause (ii) above, in the event that Lender or the Agent informs Borrower that Lender will not initiate a debit entry to Borrower’s account for certain amount of such out-of-pocket legal fees and costs incurred by the Agent or Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender such amount in full in immediately available funds within three (3) Business Days of receipt of a summary invoice in respect thereof.  Once repaid, a Term Loan Advance or any portion thereof may not be reborrowed.
1.6Maximum Interest.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (which under the laws of the State of New York shall be deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans) (the “Maximum Rate”).  If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that Borrower has actually paid to Lenders an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Secured Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrower shall be applied as follows:  first, to the payment of the Secured Obligations consisting of the outstanding principal; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Lenders’ accrued interest, costs, expenses, professional fees and any other Secured Obligations; and third, after all Secured Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrower.  
1.7Default Interest.  In the event any payment is not paid on the scheduled payment date, an amount equal to four percent (4.0%) of the past due amount shall be payable on demand. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, all Secured Obligations, including principal, interest, compounded interest, and professional fees, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate set forth in Section 2.1(c), plus four percent (4.0%) per annum.  In the event any interest is not paid when due hereunder, delinquent interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on interest, compounded at the rate set forth in Section 2.1(c) or Section 2.4, as applicable.
1.8Prepayment.  At its option upon at least seven (7) Business Days prior written notice from Parent to the Agent (or any such shorter period as the Agent may accept in its sole discretion), Borrower may prepay all of the outstanding Advances, or a portion thereof equal to or in excess of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000), by paying the entire principal balance (or such portion thereof), all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all unpaid Lenders’ fees and expenses due hereunder accrued to the date of the repayment (including, without limitation, the portion of the End of Term Charge applicable to the aggregate original principal amount of the Term Loan Advances being prepaid in accordance with Section 2.5), together with any Prepayment Charge.  If at any time Borrower elects to make a prepayment, and at such time, there are outstanding Advances under multiple Tranches, any Prepayment Charge shall be determined by applying the amount of such prepayment in the following order: first, to the outstanding principal amount (and accrued but unpaid interest thereon) of Advances outstanding under the Tranche with the most recent initial funding date; second, to the outstanding principal amount (and accrued but unpaid interest thereon) of Advances outstanding under the Tranche with the next most recent initial funding date and so on until the entire principal balance of all Advances made hereunder (and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon) is paid in full.  Borrower agrees that any Prepayment Charge is a reasonable 
29







calculation of Lenders’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Advances.  Borrower shall prepay the outstanding amount of all principal and accrued interest through the prepayment date and any Prepayment Charge upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or any other prepayment hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender hereby waives any Prepayment Charge owing thereto if such Lender or an Affiliate thereof which is controlled by such Lender (in its sole and absolute discretion) agrees in writing to refinance the Advances prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date.  Any amounts paid under this Section shall be applied by the Agent to the then unpaid amount of any Secured Obligations (including principal and interest) pro rata to all scheduled amounts owed.  For the avoidance of doubt, if a payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately succeeding Business Day but interest, if applicable, shall continue to accrue thereon until such payment.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, so long as Parent, on behalf of Borrower, provides notice to the Agent no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed prepayment date, Parent, on behalf of Borrower, may rescind any notice of prepayment if such prepayment was intended to be made from the proceeds of a refinancing of all or a portion of the Term Loan Advances, and if such refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.
1.9End of Term Charge.  On the earliest to occur of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii) the date that Borrower prepays the outstanding Secured Obligations (other than any inchoate indemnity obligations, any obligations under Bank Services Agreements constituting Secured Obligations that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 3.4 of this Agreement or for which other satisfactory arrangements with the provider of such Bank Services have been made and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) in full, (iii) the date that the Secured Obligations become due and payable or (iv) as required pursuant to Section 2.4, solely with respect to the aggregate principal amount of the Advances being prepaid, Borrower shall pay Lenders a charge equal to the End of Term Charge.  Notwithstanding the required payment date of such End of Term Charge, the applicable pro rata portion of the End of Term Charge calculated pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be deemed earned by Lenders as of each date that an applicable Term Loan Advance is made.  For the avoidance of doubt, other than as described in the definition of “Term Loan Maturity Date”, if a payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately succeeding Business Day.
1.10Pro Rata Treatment.  Each payment (including prepayment) on account of any fee owing under the Loan Documents and any reduction of the Term Loan Advances shall be made pro rata according to the Term Commitments of the relevant Lender.  Except with respect to any payment received by SVB with respect to obligations of Borrower in connection with Bank Services and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all of the rights, interests and obligations of each Lender under this Agreement and related Loan Documents, including security interests in the Collateral under this Agreement, shall be shared by Lenders in the ratio of (a) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Advances to Borrower under this Agreement to (b) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Term Loan Advances to Borrower under this Agreement. Each Lender shall promptly remit to the other Lender such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable repayment of each Lender’s portion of any Term Loan Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender receiving a scheduled payment shall not be responsible for determining whether the other Lender also received its scheduled payment on such date; provided, however, if it is later determined that a Lender received more than its ratable share of scheduled payments 
30







made on any date or dates, then such Lender shall remit to the other Lender such sums as may be necessary to ensure the ratable payment of such scheduled payments, as instructed by the Agent.  Any reference in this Agreement to an allocation between or sharing by Lenders of any right, interest or obligation “ratably,” “proportionally” or in similar terms shall refer to this ratio. The provisions hereof shall apply irrespective of the time or order of attachment or perfection of security interests, or the time or order of filing or recording of financing statements.
1.11Taxes; Increased Costs.  Borrower, the Agent and Lenders each hereby agree to the terms and conditions set forth on Addendum 1 attached hereto.
1.12Treatment of Prepayment Charge and End of Term Charge.  Borrower agrees that any Prepayment Charge and any End of Term Charge payable shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination, and Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing and existing as of the Closing Date.  Any Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge shall also be payable in the event the Secured Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure, or by any other means.  Borrower expressly waives (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) the provisions of any present or future statute or law that prohibits or may prohibit the collection of the foregoing Prepayment Charge and End of Term Charge in connection with any such acceleration.  Borrower agrees (to the fullest extent that each may lawfully do so): (a) each of any Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (b) each of any Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (c) there has been a course of conduct between Lenders and Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay any Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge as a charge (and not interest) in the event of prepayment or acceleration; and (d) Borrower shall be estopped from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph.  Borrower expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay each of any Prepayment Charge and the End of Term Charge to Lenders as herein described was on the Closing Date and continues to be a material inducement to Lenders to provide the Term Loan Advances.
SECTION 3SECURITY INTEREST
1.1As security for the prompt and complete payment when due (whether on the payment dates or otherwise) of all the Secured Obligations, Borrower grants to the Agent a security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title, and interest in, to and under all of Borrower’s personal property and other assets including without limitation the following (except as set forth herein) whether now owned or hereafter acquired (collectively, the “Collateral”):  (a) Receivables; (b) Equipment; (c) Fixtures; (d) General Intangibles; (e) Inventory; (f) Investment Property; (g) Deposit Accounts; (h) Cash; (i) Goods; and all other tangible and intangible personal property of Borrower whether now or hereafter owned or existing, leased, consigned by or to, or acquired by, Borrower and wherever located, and any of Borrower’s property in the possession or under the control of the Agent; and, to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds of each of the foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, and rents, profits and products of each of the foregoing.
31

Section 1060(a) (or any successor provision) such intent-to-use application shall constitute Collateral, (b) nonassignable licenses or contracts, which by their terms require the consent of the licensor thereof or another party (but only to the extent such prohibition on transfer is enforceable under applicable law including, without limitation, Sections 9-406, 9-407, 9-408 and 9-409 of the UCC), (c) any Excluded Accounts, (d) any assets to which the Agent in its sole discretion shall determine that the costs and burdens of obtaining or perfecting a security interest therein substantially outweigh the benefit to the Lenders of the security afforded thereby (including, without limitation, vehicles and other assets subject to a certificate of title), (e) more than 65% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock which entitle the holder thereof to vote for directors or any other matter of any Foreign Subsidiary or any Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company, to the extent that the pledge of more than 65% of such voting stock of such Foreign Subsidiary or Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company could reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse tax consequence to Borrower, and solely for as long as such consequence could result, (f) property for which the granting of a security interest therein is contrary to applicable law, rule or regulation, provided that upon the cessation of any such restriction or prohibition, such property shall automatically be included in the Collateral, (g) any cash collateral deposit subject to a Permitted Lien hereunder, if the grant of a security interest with respect to such property pursuant to this Agreement would be prohibited by the agreement creating such Permitted Lien or would otherwise constitute a default thereunder or create a right of termination in favor of a party thereto (other than Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof), provided that upon the termination and release of such cash collateral, such property shall automatically be included in the Collateral, (h) any lease, license or other agreement and any property subject thereto on the Closing Date or on the date of the acquisition of such property (other than any property acquired by Borrower subject to any such contract or other agreement to the extent such contract or other agreement was incurred in contemplation of such acquisition) to the extent that a grant of a security interest therein to secure the Secured Obligations would violate or invalidate such lease, license, contract or agreement or create a right of termination in favor of any other party thereto (other than Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof) (but (A) only to the extent such prohibition is enforceable under applicable law and (B) other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to Sections 9-406, 9-408 or 9-409 (or any other Section) of Article 9 of the UCC), including any Equity Interests of JV Entities owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof, or (i) property owned by Borrower that is subject to a purchase money Lien or a capital lease (and the proceeds thereof) permitted under this Agreement if the contractual obligation pursuant to which such Lien is granted (or in the document providing for such capital lease) prohibits or requires the consent of any person other than Borrower which has not been obtained as a condition to the creation of, any other Lien on such property.
1.3Upon termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of all Secured Obligations (other than any inchoate indemnity obligations, any obligations under Bank Services Agreements constituting Secured Obligations that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 3.4 of this Agreement or for which other satisfactory arrangements with the provider of such Bank Services have been made and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement), all 
32







security interests in the Collateral granted under this Agreement shall terminate and all rights on the Collateral shall revert to Borrower. The Agent shall execute such documents and take such other steps as are reasonably necessary for Borrower to accomplish the foregoing, all at Borrower’s sole cost and expense.
1.4The security interest granted in Section 3.1 of this Agreement shall continue until the Secured Obligations (other than any inchoate indemnity obligations, any obligations under Bank Services Agreements constituting Secured Obligations that are cash collateralized in accordance with this Section 3.4 of this Agreement or for which other satisfactory arrangements with the provider of such Bank Services have been made and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been paid in full and Lenders have no further commitment or obligation hereunder or under the other Loan Documents to make any further Advances, and shall thereupon terminate upon Borrower providing cash collateral or other credit support (if any) acceptable to SVB in its reasonable discretion (and executing, delivering and filing, alone or with SVB, any financing statements, security agreements, collateral assignments, notices, control agreements or other documents to perfect SVB’s security interest in such cash collateral) for Secured Obligations constituting Bank Services, if any, and Lenders and the Agent shall, at Borrower’s expense, take all actions reasonably requested by Borrower to evidence such termination.  In the event there are Bank Services that are Secured Obligations consisting of outstanding Letters of Credit, upon the termination or acceleration of the Secured Obligations hereunder, Borrower shall provide to SVB cash collateral (and execute, deliver and file, alone or with SVB, any financing statements, security agreements, collateral assignments, notices, control agreements or other documents to perfect SVB’s security interest in such cash collateral) in an amount equal to at least (i) one hundred three percent (103.0%) of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and (ii) one hundred eight percent (108.0%) of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency, plus, in each case all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by SVB in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Secured Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit after the termination or acceleration of the Secured Obligations hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is agreed and understood by SVB, on behalf of itself and its applicable Affiliates, that any cash collateral already, as of the Closing Date, securing letters of credit constituting Bank Services is sufficient cash collateral with respect to the face amounts of such letters of credit and no further cash collateral or other arrangements shall be required in respect thereof at the termination or acceleration of the Secured Obligations hereunder. 
1.5Borrower acknowledges that it previously has entered, and/or may in the future enter, into Bank Services Agreements with SVB. Regardless of the terms of any Bank Services Agreement, Borrower agrees that any amounts Borrower owes SVB thereunder shall be deemed to be Secured Obligations hereunder and that it is the intent of Borrower and SVB to have all such Secured Obligations secured by the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted herein (subject only to Addendum 4 and Permitted Liens, and by any and all other security agreements, mortgages, or other collateral granted to the Agent by Borrower as security for the Secured Obligations, now or in the future.

There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any governmental authority now pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or affecting Borrower or its property, that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
1.18Laws.  Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any law, including any Healthcare Laws, Anti-Terrorism Laws and Anti-Corruption Laws, rule or regulation, or in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any governmental authority, where such violation or default would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, Borrower is not in default in any manner under (i) any provision of any agreement or instrument evidencing material Indebtedness, or (ii) any other material agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound.

Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has obtained all consents, approvals and authorizations of, made all declarations or filings with, 
36

38







1.21Intellectual Property Claims.  Borrower is the sole owner of, or otherwise has the right to use, the Intellectual Property material to Borrower’s business.  Except as described on Schedule 5.9 (as such schedule may be updated by Borrower in a written notice provided from time to time after the Closing Date), (i) each of the material Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents is valid and enforceable, (ii) no material part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and (iii) except as set forth in the most recently delivered Compliance Certificate in accordance with Section 7.1(d), no claim has been made to Borrower that any material part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party. Exhibit C is a true, correct and complete list of each of Borrower’s Patents, registered Trademarks, and registered Copyrights, including in the Intellectual Property, under which Borrower licenses Intellectual Property from third parties (other than shrink-wrap software licenses), together with application or registration numbers, as applicable, owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary, in each case as of the Closing Date. Borrower is not in material breach of, nor has Borrower failed to perform any material obligations under, any of the foregoing Licenses and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no third party to any such License is in material breach thereof or has failed to perform any material obligations thereunder.  
1.22Intellectual Property.  
(c)Except as described on Schedule 5.10 (as such schedule may be updated by Borrower in a written notice provided from time to time after the Closing Date), Borrower owns or has all material rights to use the Intellectual Property necessary or material in the operation or conduct of Borrower’s business as currently conducted.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and in the case of Licenses, except for restrictions that are unenforceable under Division 9 of the UCC, Borrower has the right, to the extent required to operate Borrower’s business, to freely transfer, license or assign Intellectual Property necessary or material in the operation or conduct of Borrower’s business as currently conducted, without condition, restriction or payment of any kind (other than license payments in the ordinary course of business) to any third party, and Borrower owns or has the right to use, pursuant to valid licenses, all software development tools, library functions, compilers and all other third-party software and other items that are material to Borrower’s business and used in the design, development, promotion, sale, license, manufacture, import, export, use or distribution of Borrower Products except customary covenants in inbound license agreements and equipment leases where Borrower is the licensee or lessee.
(d)No material software owned by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries are subject to an open-source license (including but not limited to the General Public License, Lesser General Public License, Mozilla Public License, or Affero License) (collectively, “Open Source Licenses”) in a manner that would cause such software to have to be (i) distributed to third parties at no charge or a minimal charge (royalty-free basis); (ii) licensed to third parties to modify, make derivative works based on, decompile, disassemble, or reverse engineer; or (iii) used in a manner that would require disclosure or distribution in source code form.
1.3Borrower Products.  Except as described on Schedule 5.11, no material Intellectual Property owned by Borrower or Borrower Product is subject to any actual or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened (in writing) litigation, proceeding (including any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any corresponding foreign office or agency) or outstanding decree, order, judgment, settlement agreement or stipulation that materially restricts in any manner Borrower’s use, transfer or licensing 
39







thereof or that may affect the validity, use or enforceability thereof. There is no decree, order, judgment, agreement, stipulation, arbitral award or other provision entered into in connection with any litigation or proceeding that obligates Borrower to grant licenses or ownership interest in any future Intellectual Property related to the operation or conduct of the business of Borrower or Borrower Products.  Borrower has not received any written notice or claim challenging Borrower’s ownership in any Intellectual Property (or written notice of any claim challenging or questioning the ownership in any licensed Intellectual Property of the owner thereof) or suggesting that any third party has any claim of legal or beneficial ownership with respect thereto nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, is there a reasonable basis for any such claim.  Except as would not reasonably be expected to be material to Borrower, neither Borrower’s use of its Intellectual Property nor the production and sale of Borrower Products infringes the Intellectual Property or other rights of others.
1.4Financial Accounts.  Exhibit D, as may be updated by Borrower in a written notice provided to the Agent after the Closing Date, is a true, correct and complete list of (a) all banks and other financial institutions at which Borrower or any Subsidiary maintains Deposit Accounts and (b) all institutions at which Borrower or any Subsidiary maintains an account holding Investment Property, and such exhibit correctly identifies, to the extent available to Borrower, the name, address and telephone number of each bank or other institution, the name in which the account is held, a description of the purpose of the account, and the complete account number therefor.
1.5Employee Loans.  Except for loans constituting Permitted Investments, Borrower has no outstanding loans to any employee, officer or director of Borrower nor has Borrower guaranteed the payment of any loan made to an employee, officer or director of Borrower by a third party.
1.6Capitalization and Subsidiaries.  Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other securities of any Person, except for Permitted Investments.  Attached as Schedule 5.14, as may be updated by Borrower in a written notice provided after the Closing Date, is a true, correct and complete list of each Subsidiary.
1.7Compliance with Healthcare Laws.  Borrower, each Subsidiary of Borrower, each Physician Group and, to the knowledge of Borrower, each JV Entity is in compliance, with all applicable Healthcare Laws, except such non-compliance that would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, Borrower has not received written notice by a governmental authority of any material violation (or of any investigation, audit, or other proceeding involving allegations of any violation) of any Healthcare Laws, and no investigation, inspection, audit or other proceeding involving allegations of any material violation is, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened in writing. The (i) terms of each Management Agreement are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Healthcare Laws other than solely as a result of any changes thereto requested in writing by the Agent, and (ii) parties to such Management Agreements have performed their respective obligations under such Management Agreements in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable Healthcare Laws.
1.8Healthcare Permits.  (a) Borrower, each Subsidiary of Borrower, each Physician Group and each JV Entity has obtained all necessary Healthcare Permits, and have made all material declarations and filings with, all applicable governmental authorities, all self-regulatory authorities and all courts and other tribunals necessary to 
40







engage in the management and/or operation of their respective business; (b) each such Healthcare Permit is valid and in full force and effect, and Borrower, each Subsidiary of Borrower, each Physician Group and, to the knowledge of Borrower, each JV Entity is in compliance with the terms and conditions of all such Healthcare Permits except where failure to be in such compliance, or for a Healthcare Permit to be valid and in full force and effect, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (c) neither Borrower, any Subsidiary of Borrower, nor to the knowledge of Borrower, any Physician Group or any JV Entity has received written notice from any governmental authority with respect to the revocation, suspension, restriction, limitation or termination of any Healthcare Permit nor, to the knowledge of Borrower, is any such action proposed or threatened in writing.
SECTION 6INSURANCE; INDEMNIFICATION
1.23Coverage.  Borrower shall cause to be carried and maintained commercial general liability insurance covering Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries, on an occurrence form, against risks and in such amounts customarily insured against in Borrower’s line of business.  Such risks shall include the risks of bodily injury, including death, property damage, personal injury, advertising injury, and contractual liability per the terms of the indemnification agreement found in Section 6.3.  Borrower must maintain a minimum of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) of commercial general liability insurance for each occurrence.  Borrower has and agrees to maintain a minimum of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) of directors’ and officers’ insurance for each occurrence and Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate.  So long as there are any Secured Obligations outstanding (other than any inchoate indemnity obligations, any obligations under Bank Services Agreements constituting Secured Obligations that have been cash collateralized in accordance with Section 3.4 of this Agreement or for which other satisfactory arrangements with the provider of such Bank Services have been made and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement), Borrower shall also cause to be carried and maintained insurance upon the business and assets of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, insuring against all risks of physical loss or damage howsoever caused, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of the Collateral, provided that such insurance may be subject to standard exceptions and deductibles.  If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by this Section 6.1 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, the Agent may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by the Agent are immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Secured Obligations, and secured by the Collateral.  The Agent will provide Borrower with written notice no later than two (2) Business Days prior to obtaining such insurance.  No payments by the Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or the Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default.  
1.24Certificates.  Borrower shall deliver to the Agent certificates of insurance that evidence Borrower’s compliance with its insurance obligations in Section 6.1 and the obligations contained in this Section 6.2.  Borrower’s insurance certificate shall state the Agent (shown as “Hercules Capital, Inc.”, as Agent and its permitted assigns”) is an additional insured for commercial general liability, a lenders loss payee for all risk property damage insurance, subject to the insurer’s approval, and a lenders loss payee for property insurance and additional insured for liability insurance for any future insurance that Borrower may acquire from such insurer.  On or prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (as may be extended by the Agent in its discretion), Borrower 
41

In addition, any such representative shall have the right to meet with management and officers of Borrower to discuss such books of account and records at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice.  In addition, the Agent and, if accompanying the Agent, any Lenders shall be entitled at reasonable times and intervals and to consult with and advise the management and officers of Borrower concerning significant business issues affecting Borrower. Such consultations shall not unreasonably interfere with Borrower’s business operations.  The parties intend that the rights granted the Agent and Lenders shall constitute “management rights” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(d)(3)(ii), but that any advice, recommendations or participation by the Agent or any Lender with respect to any business issues shall not be deemed to give the Agent or any Lender, nor be deemed an exercise by the Agent or any Lender of, control over Borrower’s management or policies.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Loan Document, no Borrower nor any Subsidiary thereof will be required to disclose, permit the inspection, examination or making of copies or abstracts of, or discussion of, any document, information or other matter that (i) constitutes non-financial trade secrets, (ii) is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege or constitutes attorney work product or (iii) would result in a violation of any applicable law.

representatives of the Agent or Lenders may encounter individually identifiable health information, as defined at 45 C.F.R. 160.103, or other confidential information relating to healthcare patients (collectively, the “Confidential Healthcare Information”).  The Person (including Borrower) maintaining such Confidential Healthcare Information shall, if in their reasonable opinion allowable under HIPAA, including without limitation, HIPAA’s “minimum necessary” provisions, permit such disclosure for their “healthcare operations” purpose.  Unless otherwise required by any applicable laws, the Agent, Lenders and their respective representatives shall not require or perform any act that would cause any Person (including Borrower) to violate any Healthcare Laws, including HIPAA.  In the event that the Agent or Lenders propose to undertake activities that any Borrower reasonably believes would constitute services of a “business associate,” as defined at 45 C.F.R. 160.103, the parties hereto agree to review the matter and, where appropriate, the Agent or Lenders may take action to comply with HIPAA, including, without limitation, executing a business associate agreement with the applicable Person.
1.9Further Assurances.

Borrower shall from time to time procure any instruments or documents as may be reasonably requested by the Agent, and take all further action that may be necessary, or that the Agent may reasonably request, to perfect and protect the Liens granted hereby or under the applicable Loan Documents.  In addition, and for such purposes only, Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to execute and deliver on behalf of Borrower and to file such financing statements (including an indication that the financing statement covers “all assets or all personal property” of Borrower in accordance with Section 9-504 of the UCC), and Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent, at any time during the existence of an Event of Default, to execute and deliver on behalf of Borrower any collateral assignments, notices, control agreements, security agreements and other documents without the signature of Borrower either in the Agent’s name or in the name of the Agent as agent and attorney-in-fact for Borrower.

(a)This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede and replace in their entirety any prior proposals, term sheets, non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements, letters, negotiations or other documents or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof or thereof (including the proposal letter of Hercules and SVB dated August 10, 2022 and the Non-Disclosure Agreement).  
(b)Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.3(b).  The Required Lenders and Borrower party to the relevant Loan Document (or Parent on behalf of Borrower) may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Agent and Borrower party to the relevant Loan Document (or Parent on behalf of Borrower) may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of Borrower hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (A) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan Advance, reduce the stated rate of any interest (or fee payable hereunder) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby (provided only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be required to waive any default interest); (B) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.3(b) without the written consent of such Lender; (C) (I) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, (II) other than in connection with a transaction expressly permitted under Section 7, consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (III) release all or 
62







substantially all of the Collateral or (IV) other than in connection with a transaction expressly permitted under Section 7, release a Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; or (D) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 11.18 or Addendum 2 without the written consent of the Agent.  Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent and all future holders of the Loans.
1.17No Strict Construction.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.
1.18No Waiver.  The powers conferred upon the Agent and Lenders by this Agreement are solely to protect their respective rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and the Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Agent or Lenders to exercise any such powers.  No omission or delay by the Agent or Lenders at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to it, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by Borrower at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which the Agent or Lenders is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of the Agent or Lenders to enforce such provisions thereafter.
1.19Survival.  All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be for the benefit of Borrower, the Agent and Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.  All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Secured Obligations (other than any inchoate indemnity obligations, any obligations under Bank Services Agreements that constitute Secured Obligations that have been cash collateralized in accordance with Section 3.4 of this Agreement or for which other satisfactory arrangements with the provider of such Bank Services have been made and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement) have been satisfied.  Sections 6.3, 11.9, 11.10, 11.11, 11.14, 11.15 and 11.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
1.20Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on Borrower and its permitted assigns (if any).  Other than in connection with a transaction permitted under Section 7.9, Borrower shall not assign its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without the Agent’s express prior written consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect.  The Agent and Lenders may assign, transfer, or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents without prior notice to Borrower, and all of such rights shall inure to the benefit of the Agent’s and Lenders’ permitted successors and assigns; provided that as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither the Agent nor any Lender may assign, transfer or endorse its rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents to any party that is a direct competitor of Borrower or a distressed debt or vulture fund (as reasonably determined by the Agent), it being acknowledged that in all cases, any transfer to an Affiliate of any Lender or the Agent shall be allowed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) in connection with any assignment by a Lender as a result of a forced divestiture at the request of any regulatory agency, the restrictions set forth herein shall not apply and such 
63







Lender may assign, transfer or indorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any Person and (y) in connection with a Lender’s own financing or securitization transactions, the restrictions set forth herein shall not apply and the Agent and the Lenders may assign, transfer or indorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any Person providing such financing or formed to undertake such securitization transaction and any transferee of such Person upon the occurrence of a default, event of default or similar occurrence with respect to such financing or securitization transaction; provided that no such sale, transfer, pledge or assignment under this clause (y) shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such Person or party for such Lender as a party hereto until the Agent shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement from such Person or party in form satisfactory to the Agent executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto, and shall have received such other information regarding such assignee as the Agent reasonably shall require.  The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender(s), and the Term Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, the Agent and Lender(s) shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  The parties intend that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury Regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code or of such Treasury Regulations), and the Register and Participant Register shall be maintained in accordance with such intention.
1.21Participations.  Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than any party that is a direct competitor of Borrower or a distressed debt or vulture fund (as reasonably determined by the Agent)) (a “Participant”), in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and/or the Term Loan Advances made by it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Borrower, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, 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 Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as the Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.  
64







Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions in Addendum 1 attached hereto (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 7 of Addendum 1 attached hereto (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 7 of Addendum 1 attached hereto shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.7; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Addendum 1 attached hereto, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.
1.22Governing Law.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated and delivered to the Agent and Lenders in the State of New York, and shall have been accepted by the Agent and Lenders in the State of New York.  Payment to the Agent and Lenders by Borrower of the Secured Obligations is due in the State of New York.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.
1.23Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue.  All judicial proceedings (to the extent that the reference requirement of Section 11.11 is not applicable) arising in or under or related to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court located in the State of New York.  By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to nonexclusive personal jurisdiction in New York County, State of New York; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in New York County, State of New York; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 11.2, and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 11.2.  Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
1.24Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial / Judicial Reference.  Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert Person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws.  EACH OF BORROWER, THE AGENT AND LENDERS SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY BORROWER AGAINST THE AGENT, LENDERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE OR BY THE AGENT, LENDERS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE AGAINST BORROWER.  This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than the Agent, Borrower and Lenders; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship among Borrower, the Agent and Lenders; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, tort, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document.  
65







(a)If the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 11.11(a) is ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all Claims shall be resolved by reference to a private judge sitting without a jury, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, before a mutually acceptable referee or, if the parties cannot agree, a referee selected by the Presiding Judge of New York, New York.  Such proceeding shall be conducted in New York, New York, with New York rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such proceeding.    
(b)In the event Claims are to be resolved by judicial reference, either party may seek from a court identified in Section 11.10, any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise subject to resolution by judicial reference.
1.25Professional Fees.  Borrower promises to pay the Agent’s and Lenders’ reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses necessary to finalize the loan documentation, including but not limited to reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, UCC searches, filing costs, and other miscellaneous expenses; provided, that the Due Diligence Fee shall be applied in its entirety to the Lenders’ nonlegal transaction costs and due diligence expenses. In addition, Borrower promises to pay any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses incurred by the Agent and Lenders after the Closing Date in connection with or related to: (a) the Loan; (b) the administration, collection, or enforcement of the Loan; (c) the amendment or modification of the Loan Documents; (d) any waiver, consent, release, or termination under the Loan Documents; (e) the protection, preservation, audit, field exam, sale, lease, liquidation, or disposition of Collateral or the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral; (f) any legal, litigation, administrative, arbitration, or out of court proceeding in connection with or related to Borrower or the Collateral, and any appeal or review thereof arising from or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and (g) any bankruptcy, restructuring, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, workout, foreclosure, or other action related to Borrower, the Collateral, the Loan Documents, including representing the Agent or Lenders in any adversary proceeding or contested matter commenced or continued by or on behalf of Borrower’s estate, and any appeal or review thereof.
1.26Confidentiality.  The Agent and Lenders acknowledge that certain items of Collateral and information provided to the Agent and Lenders by Borrower are confidential and proprietary information of Borrower, if and to the extent such information either (x) is marked as confidential by Borrower at the time of disclosure, or (y) should reasonably be understood to be confidential (the “Confidential Information”).  Accordingly, the Agent and Lenders agree that any Confidential Information it may obtain in the course of acquiring, administering, or perfecting  the Agent’s security interest in the Collateral shall not be disclosed to any other Person or entity in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Borrower, except that the Agent and Lenders may disclose any such information:  (a) to its Affiliates and its partners, investors, lenders, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, accountants, counsel, representatives and other professional advisors if the Agent or Lenders in their sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information in connection with such party’s responsibilities in connection with the Loan or this Agreement and, provided that such recipient of such Confidential Information either (i) agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this paragraph or (ii) is otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the 
66







disclosure of Confidential Information; (b) if such information is generally available to the public or to the extent such information becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or becomes available to the Agent or any Lender, or their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrower and not in breach of any obligations of confidentiality owed to Borrower; (c) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any governmental authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over the Agent or Lenders and any rating agency; (d) if required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, to the extent permitted or deemed advisable by the Agent’s or Lenders’ counsel; (e) to comply with any legal requirement or law applicable to the Agent or Lenders or demanded by any governmental authority; (f) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of, or preparing to exercise, or the enforcement of, or preparing to enforce, any right or remedy under any Loan Document (including the Agent’s sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral after Default); (g) to any participant or assignee of the Agent or Lender or any prospective participant or assignee; provided, that such participant or assignee or prospective participant or assignee is subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of Confidential Information and is no less protective than the provisions of this Section 11.13; (h) to any investor or potential investor (and each of their respective Affiliates or clients) in the Agent or Lender (or each of their respective Affiliates); provided that such investor, potential investor, Affiliate or client is subject to confidentiality obligations with respect to the Confidential Information; (i) otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify Borrower; or (j) otherwise with the prior written consent of Borrower; provided, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  The Agent’s and Lenders’ obligations under this Section 11.13 shall supersede all of their respective obligations under the Non-Disclosure Agreement.
1.27 Assignment of Rights.  Borrower acknowledges and understands that the Agent or Lenders may, subject to Section 11.7, sell and assign all or part of its interest hereunder and under the Loan Documents to any Person or entity (an “Assignee”).  After such assignment the term “Agent” or “Lender” as used in the Loan Documents shall mean and include such Assignee, and such Assignee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of the Agent and Lenders hereunder with respect to the interest so assigned; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, the Agent and Lenders shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given.  No such assignment by the Agent or any Lender shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder.  Each Lender agrees that in the event of any transfer by it of the promissory note(s) (if any), it will endorse thereon a notation as to the portion of the principal of the promissory note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and as to the date to which interest shall have been last paid thereon.
1.28Revival of Secured Obligations.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against Borrower for liquidation or reorganization, if Borrower becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of Borrower’s assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered from the Agent or Lenders.  The Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations and Collateral security shall continue to be effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to the Agent, or any part thereof is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or 
67







returned by, or is recovered from, the Agent, Lenders or by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer of Collateral had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or recovered, the Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or documentation, to have been revived and reinstated except to the extent of the full, final, and indefeasible payment to the Agent or Lenders in Cash.
1.29Counterparts.  This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
1.30No Third Party Beneficiaries.  No provisions of the Loan Documents are intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or create any third-party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any Person other than the Agent, Lenders and Borrower unless specifically provided otherwise herein, and, except as otherwise so provided, all provisions of the Loan Documents will be personal and solely among the Agent, Lenders and Borrower. 
1.31Agency.  The Agent and each Lender hereby agree to the terms and conditions set forth on Addendum 2 attached hereto.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees to the terms and conditions set forth on Addendum 2 attached hereto.
1.32Publicity.  None of the parties hereto nor any of its respective member businesses and Affiliates shall, without the other parties’ prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), publicize or use (a) the other party's name (including a brief description of the relationship among the parties hereto), logo or hyperlink to such other parties’ web site, separately or together, in written and oral presentations, advertising, promotional and marketing materials, client lists, public relations materials or on its web site (together, the "Publicity Materials"); (b) the names of officers of such other parties in the Publicity Materials; and (c) such other parties’ name, trademarks, servicemarks in any news or press release concerning such party; provided however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such consent shall be required (i) to the extent necessary to comply with the requests of any regulators, legal requirements or laws applicable to such party, pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange (so long as such party provides prior notice to the other party hereto to the extent reasonably practicable) and (ii) to comply with Section 11.13.
1.33Multiple Borrowers.  Borrower hereby agrees to the terms and conditions set forth on Addendum 3 attached hereto.  
1.34Electronic Execution of Certain Other Documents.  The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation assignments, assumptions, amendments, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as 
68







provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York Uniform Electronic Transaction Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
1.35Modifications to Loan Documents. This Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be construed to be in accordance with any and all federal and state statutes, regulations, principles and interpretations including, without limitation, those of the foregoing pertaining to taxes, Medicare, Medicaid or other government programs.  In the event (a) of any change in any federal, state or local laws, rules, regulations, or interpretations of the same, at any time during the term of this Agreement that makes all or any part of this Agreement or any other Loan Document illegal; or (b) any party hereto determines, based upon the advice of counsel that all or any part of this Agreement is illegal, then the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement in a manner consistent with applicable laws.

ANNEX A to LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT


75







ADDENDUM 1 to LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
TAXES; INCREASED COSTS
1.Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Addendum 1:
A.“Connection Income Taxes” means Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes.
B.“Excluded Taxes” means any of the following Taxes imposed on or with respect to a Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to a Recipient, (i) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated), franchise Taxes, and branch profits Taxes, in each case, (A) imposed as a result of such Recipient being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office or, in the case of any Lender, its applicable lending office located in, the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (or any political subdivision thereof) or (B) that are Other Connection Taxes, (ii) in the case of a Lender, U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of such Lender with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan or Term Commitment pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which (A) such Lender acquires such interest in the Loan or Term Commitment or (B) such Lender changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to Section 2 or Section 4 of this Addendum 1, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Lender’s assignor immediately before such Lender became a party hereto or to such Lender immediately before it changed its lending office, (iii) Taxes attributable to such Recipient’s failure to comply with Section 7 of this Addendum 1 and (iv) any withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA.
C.“FATCA” means Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, as of the date of this Agreement (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with), any current or future regulations or official interpretations thereof, any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code, and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules or practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement, treaty or convention among governmental authorities and implementing such Sections of the Code.
D.“Foreign Lender” means a Lender that is not a U.S. Person.
E.“Indemnified Taxes” means (i) Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes, imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document and (ii) to the extent not otherwise described in clause (i), Other Taxes.
F.“Other Connection Taxes” means, with respect to any Recipient, Taxes imposed as a result of a present or former connection between such Recipient and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than connections arising from such Recipient having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction 
76







pursuant to or enforced any Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in any Loan or Loan Document).
G.“Other Taxes” means all present or future stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar Taxes that arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment.
H.“Recipient” means the Agent or any Lender, as applicable.
1.“Withholding Agent” means Borrower and the Agent.
2.Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2 or Section 4 of this Addendum 1) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
3.Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower.  Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant governmental authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
4.Indemnification by Borrower.  Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under Section 2 of this Addendum 1 or this Section 4) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay, and to save the Agent and any Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all excise, sales or other similar taxes (excluding taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of the Agent or such Lender) that is determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral.
5.Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (a) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (b) 
77







any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.8 of the Agreement relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (c) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this Section 5.
6.Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a governmental authority pursuant to the provisions of this Addendum 1, Borrower shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such governmental authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
7.Status of Lenders.
a.Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent as will enable Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 7(b)(i), 7(b)(ii) and 7(b)(iv) of this Addendum 1) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
a.Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person,
i.any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
ii.any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
78







A.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
B.executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
C.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
D.to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
iii.any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and the Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
iv.if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation 
79







reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
b.Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
c.On or before the date the Agent (or any successor thereto) becomes a party to this Agreement, the Agent shall provide Borrower with two duly completed copies (or in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by Borrower) of the documentation prescribed in clause (i) and (ii) below, as applicable (together with all required attachments thereto): (i) IRS Form W-9 or any successor thereto, certifying that it is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding, or (ii) (A) IRS Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto with respect to any amounts payable to the Agent for its own account, and (B) with respect to payments received on account of any Lender, IRS Form W-8IMY or any successor thereto evidencing the Agent is either (x) a “qualified intermediary” assuming primary withholding responsibility under Chapters 3 and 4 of the Code and primary Form 1099 reporting and backup withholding responsibility for payments it receives on behalf of others or (y) a U.S. branch and that payments it receives for the accounts of others are not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States and that it has agreed to be treated as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments for U.S. federal tax purposes (and Borrower and the Agent agree to so treat the Agent as a U.S. Person with respect to such payments as contemplated by Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv)(A), with the effect that Borrower can make such payments to the Agent without deduction or withholding of any Taxes imposed by the United States). The Agent agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 7(d) shall be construed to limit in any way the indemnification obligations of Borrower set forth in Section 4 of this Addendum 1.
8.Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to the provisions of this Addendum 1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to the provisions of this Addendum 1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under the provisions of this Addendum 1 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 8 (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 8 the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such 
80







refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This Section 8 shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
9.Increased Costs.  If any change in applicable law shall subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (ii) through (iv) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result shall be to increase the cost to such Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Term Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Recipient (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon the request of such Recipient, Borrower will pay to such Recipient such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
10.Survival.  Each party’s obligations under the provisions of this Addendum 1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Term Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

ADDENDUM 2 to LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Agent and Lender Terms
a.Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Hercules Capital, Inc. to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The Agent shall have only those duties which are specified in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and it may perform such duties by or through its agents, representatives or employees. In performing its duties on behalf of Lenders, the Agent shall exercise the same care which it would exercise in dealing with loans made for its own account, but it shall not be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of all or any of the Loan Documents, or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made therein or made in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents furnished or delivered in connection herewith or therewith by the Agent to any Lender or by or on behalf of Borrower to the Agent or any Lender, or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein, as to the use of the proceeds of the Term Loan Advances, the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent. The Agent shall not be responsible for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of any taxes, assessments, charges or any other charges or liens of any nature whatsoever upon the Collateral or otherwise for the maintenance of the Collateral, except in the event the Agent enters into possession of a part or all of the Collateral, in which event the Agent shall preserve the part in its possession. Unless the officers of the Agent acting in their capacity as officer of the Agent on Borrower’s account have actual knowledge thereof or have been notified in writing thereof by Lenders, the Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default. 
a.Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, representatives or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents or in connection herewith or therewith unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. No provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Agent to perform any act or to exercise any power in any jurisdiction in which it shall be illegal, or shall be deemed to impose any duty or obligation on the Agent to perform any act or exercise any right or power if such performance or exercise (a) would subject the Agent to a tax in a jurisdiction where it is not then subject to a tax or (b) would require the Agent to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions 


WEST\299802641.9







of the Lenders. The Agent shall be entitled to refrain from exercising any power, discretion or authority vested in it under this Agreement unless and until it has obtained the written instructions of the Lenders. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon the Agent in its individual capacity. With respect to its participation in the Loan Agreement hereunder, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” or any similar term shall unless the context clearly indicates otherwise include the Agent in its individual capacity.
b.The Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in acting, or refraining to act, upon, any resolution, statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond or other paper or document that it has no reason to believe to be other than genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties or, in the case of cables, telecopies and telexes, to have been sent by the proper party or parties.  In the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Agent and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  The Agent may consult with counsel, and any opinion or legal advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, not taken or suffered by the Agent hereunder or under any Loan Documents in accordance therewith.  The Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of the Collateral from any court of competent jurisdiction.  The Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers granted to the Agent by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at the request or direction of the Lenders unless the Agent shall have been provided by the Lenders with adequate security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.
c.Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to its respective Term Commitment percentages (based upon the total outstanding Term Commitments) in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Addendum 2, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, this Agreement, any of the other Loan 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.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.  
d.To the extent not reimbursed either by Borrower or from the application of Collateral proceeds pursuant to Section 10.2, a Lender (the “Indemnified Lender”) shall be indemnified by the other Lender (an “Indemnifying Lender”), on a several basis in proportion to each Lender’s pro rata portion of the Term Commitment, and each Indemnifying Lender agrees to reimburse the Indemnified Lender for the Indemnifying Lender’s pro rata share of the following items (an “Indemnified Payment”):













i.all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Indemnified Lender incurred by the Indemnified Lender in connection with the discharge of its activities under this Agreement or the Loan Agreement, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees; provided, that the Indemnified Lender shall consult with the other Lender regarding the incurrence of such costs and expenses at reasonable intervals (but not more often than monthly) and any such reasonable costs and expenses shall be “Claims” hereunder notwithstanding any disagreement by the other Lender as to their incurrence; and
ii.from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Lender in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any action taken or omitted by the Indemnified Lender hereunder; provided that the Indemnifying Lender shall not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements, if the same results from the Indemnified Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or from undertaking Enforcement Actions in violation of clause (d) of Addendum 4;
iii.provided, however, that the Indemnified Lender shall not be reimbursed or indemnified for an Indemnified Payment, except to the extent that the Indemnified Lender paid more than its ratable share of such payment. All Indemnified Payments (as set forth in this paragraph c) to an Indemnified Lender are intended to be paid ratably by the other Lender. 
a.The Agent in Its Individual Capacity.  The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent and the term “Lender” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each such Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. 
b.Exculpatory Provisions.  The Agent shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not:
iv.be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether any Default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
v.have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable, provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and
vi.except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and the Agent shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated 













to or obtained by any Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
e.In connection with any exercise of Enforcement Actions hereunder, neither any the Agent nor any Lender or any of its partners, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, accountants, or agents shall be liable to the Agent or any other Lender as such for any action taken or omitted by it or them, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to its duties under this Agreement.
f.Each Lender and the Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact. Each Lender and the Agent shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such powers and duties. No Lender nor the Agent shall be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it, if the selection of such agents or attorneys-in-fact was done without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
g.Each Lender agrees that it will make its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrower in connection with the making of Term Loan Advances pursuant to the Loan Agreement and has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrower. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty or responsibility either initially or on a continuing basis to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of all Lenders or to provide the other Lenders with any credit or other information with respect thereto whether coming into its possession before the date hereof or any time or times thereafter and shall further have no responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of the information provided to the Lenders by Borrower.















ADDENDUM 3 to LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Multiple Borrower Terms
b.Borrower’s Agent.  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Oak Street Health, Inc. as its agent, attorney-in-fact and legal representative for all purposes, including requesting disbursement of the Term Loan Advances and receiving account statements and other notices and communications to Borrowers (or any of them) from the Agent or any Lender.  The Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any request for the Term Loan Advances, disbursement instruction, report, information or any other notice or communication made or given by Oak Street Health, Inc., whether in its own name or on behalf of one or more of the other Borrowers, and the Agent shall not have any obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the binding effect on it of any such request, instruction, report, information, other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of Borrowers’ obligations hereunder be affected thereby.
c.Waivers.  Each Borrower hereby waives:  (i) any right to require the Agent to institute suit against, or to exhaust its rights and remedies against, any other Borrower or any other Person, or to proceed against any property of any kind which secures all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or to exercise any right of offset or other right with respect to any reserves, credits or deposit accounts held by or maintained with the Agent or any Indebtedness of the Agent or any Lender to any other Borrower, or to exercise any other right or power, or pursue any other remedy the Agent or any Lender may have; (ii) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Borrower or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other Person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of any liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other Person, with respect to all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or by reason of any act or omission of the Agent or others which directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of any other Borrower or any guarantor or any other Person or any Secured Obligations or any security therefor, whether by operation of law or otherwise (other than the defense of payment or performance in full); (iii) any defense arising by reason of any failure of the Agent to obtain, perfect, maintain or keep in force any Lien on, any property of any Borrower or any other Person; (iv) any defense based upon or arising out of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any other Borrower or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other Person, including without limitation any discharge of, or bar against collecting, any of the Secured Obligations (including without limitation any interest thereon), in or as a result of any such proceeding.  Until all of the Secured Obligations have been paid, performed, and discharged in full (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, any obligations under Bank Services Agreements constituting Secured Obligations that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 3.4 of this Agreement or for which other satisfactory arrangements with the provider of such Bank Services have been made and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement), nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of any Borrower hereunder except the full performance and payment of all of the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, any obligations under Bank Services Agreements constituting Secured Obligations that are cash collateralized in accordance with Section 3.4 of this Agreement or for which other satisfactory arrangements with the provider of such Bank 













Services have been made and any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement).  If any claim is ever made upon the Agent for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by the Agent in payment of or on account of any of the Secured Obligations, because of any claim that any such payment constituted a preferential transfer or fraudulent conveyance, or for any other reason whatsoever, and the Agent repays all or part of said amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over the Agent or any of its property, or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent with any such claimant (including without limitation any Borrower), then and in any such event, each Borrower agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement and compromise shall be binding upon such Borrower, notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Agreement or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations, or any release of any of the Secured Obligations, and each Borrower shall be and remain liable to the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement for the amount so repaid or recovered, to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by the Agent or any Lender, and the provisions of this sentence shall survive, and continue in effect, notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Agreement.  Each Borrower hereby expressly and unconditionally waives all rights of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity of every kind against any other Borrower, and all rights of recourse to any assets or property of any other Borrower, and all rights to any collateral or security held for the payment and performance of any Secured Obligations, including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which Borrower may have under any present or future document or agreement with any other Borrower or other Person, and including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which any Borrower may have under any equitable doctrine of subrogation, implied contract, or unjust enrichment, or any other equitable or legal doctrine.
d.Consents.  Each Borrower hereby waives (i) any suretyship defense available to it under the UCC or any other applicable law and (ii) any right to require the Agent or any Lender to (A) proceed against any Borrower or any other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any security or (C) pursue any other remedy.  The Agent or any Lender may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against any Borrower or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting any Borrower’s liability.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other related document, each Borrower irrevocably waives all rights that it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Borrower to the rights of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement) to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any other Borrower, or any other Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of the Secured Obligations, for any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Secured Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise and all rights that it might have to benefit from, or to participate in, any security for the Secured Obligations as a result of any payment made by Borrower with respect to the Secured Obligations in connection with this Agreement or otherwise.  Any agreement providing for indemnification, reimbursement or any other arrangement prohibited under this Section shall be null and void.  If any payment is made to a Borrower in contravention of this Section, such Borrower shall hold such payment in trust for the Agent and the Lenders and such payment shall be promptly delivered to the Agent for application to the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.  Each Borrower further consents and agrees that the Agent shall have no duties or 













responsibilities whatsoever with respect to any property securing any or all of the Secured Obligations.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall have no obligation to monitor, verify, audit, examine, or obtain or maintain any insurance with respect to, any property securing any or all of the Secured Obligations.
e.Independent Liability.  Each Borrower hereby agrees that one or more successive or concurrent actions may be brought hereon against such Borrower, in the same action in which any other Borrower may be sued or in separate actions, as often as deemed advisable by the Agent. Each Borrower is fully aware of the financial condition of each other Borrower and is executing and delivering this Agreement based solely upon its own independent investigation of all matters pertinent hereto, and such Borrower is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of the Agent or any Lender with respect thereto.  Each Borrower represents and warrants that it is in a position to obtain, and each Borrower hereby assumes full responsibility for obtaining, any additional information concerning any other Borrower’s financial condition and any other matter pertinent hereto as such Borrower may desire, and such Borrower is not relying upon or expecting the Agent to furnish to it any information now or hereafter in the Agent’s possession concerning the same or any other matter.
f.Subordination.  All Indebtedness of a Borrower now or hereafter arising held by another Borrower is subordinated to the Secured Obligations and Borrower holding the Indebtedness shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Agent to effect, to enforce and to give notice of such subordination.















ADDENDUM 4 to LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
Intercreditor Provisions
a.Limitation of Further Credit Extensions.  After the date hereof, except pursuant to this Agreement and as permitted pursuant thereto, no Lender may make loans to or otherwise extend credit to Borrower (excluding the provision by SVB to Borrower of the Bank Services in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed the Bank Services Cap) without notice to and the consent of each other Lender, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
g.Transfer of Interests. 
i.No Lender may sell or otherwise transfer any of its interest in this Agreement or the related Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the other Lenders (which consent may, for the avoidance of doubt, be conditioned on such successor or assign entering into an intercreditor agreement satisfactory to such other Lender), except that no such consent shall be required in connection with (a) any sale, assignment or transfer by any Lender of any of its interest in this Agreement and other Loan Documents to any Affiliate of such Lender or (b) a Lender’s own financing or securitization transactions, in which case, such Lender may assign, transfer or indorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to any Person or party providing such financing or formed to undertake such securitization transaction and any transferee of such Person or party upon the occurrence of a default, event of default or similar occurrence with respect to such financing or securitization transaction; provided that no such assignment, transfer or indorsement under this clause (b) shall release such Lender from any of its obligations under this Agreement or under the Loan Documents or substitute any such Person or party for such Lender as a party hereto until the Agent shall have received and accepted an effective assignment agreement from such Person or party in form satisfactory to the Agent executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto, and shall have received such other information regarding such Person or party as the Agent reasonably shall require.
ii.The transferee shall assume all obligations of the transferring Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the portion of the transferor’s interest in this Agreement and the other Loan Document transferred, provided, that to the extent the transferor shall not transfer the entirety and shall retain any portion of its interest in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the transferor shall retain its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to that portion of its interest.  
iii.The transferee shall provide to the other Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Lender that the proposed transferee has the financial ability and legal authority to assume and perform all obligations of the transferring Lender under this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents.













iv.Any sale or transfer of an interest in this Agreement and other applicable Loan Documents shall be voidable at the option of the other Lender unless the provisions of this paragraph (b) are satisfied.
h.Possession of Collateral.  If any Lender shall obtain possession of any Collateral, it shall hold such Collateral for itself and as agent and bailee for the other Lenders for purposes of perfecting the Agent’s or such other Lenders’ security interest therein.
i.Decision to Exercise Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent shall take such actions and only such actions as Lenders mutually agree to take to enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement; provided, however, that if after consultation, Lenders cannot mutually agree on what action to take, then any Lender shall have the right upon prior written notice to the other Lenders to cause the acceleration of this Agreement on behalf of the Lenders. Upon such acceleration, the Lenders shall mutually agree as to what Enforcement Action to take; provided, however, that if after consultation, Lenders cannot mutually agree on what action to take, then the Lender wishing to take the stronger Enforcement Action (the “Enforcing Lender”) shall have the right to determine and shall control the timing, order and type of Enforcement Actions which will be taken and all other matters in connection with any such Enforcement Actions. To facilitate these rights to control Enforcement Actions, upon any Lender becoming the Enforcing Lender, if the Enforcing Lender is not already the Agent, then automatically and without the necessity of any further action being taken by any party, (x) the original Agent shall be deemed to have resigned as the Agent and (y) the Lenders shall be deemed to have unanimously appointed the Enforcing Lender as successor the Agent under this Agreement and the Loan Documents (and the Enforcing Lender shall be deemed to have accepted such appointment), provided that, once the Enforcing Lender shall have been appointed as the Agent under the provisions of this sentence, the Enforcing Lender as such successor Agent shall no longer be bound by the restrictions of the first sentence of this paragraph, but instead shall have the right to determine and control all Enforcement Actions as provided for in the immediately preceding sentence (subject to the provisions of the following sentence). In taking such Enforcement Actions pursuant to the previous sentence, the Enforcing Lender as such successor Agent shall act reasonably and in good faith and shall consult with and keep the other Lender informed thereof at reasonable intervals; provided, however, that notwithstanding any such consultations and provision of information to the other Lender, the Enforcing Lender as such successor Agent shall retain the right to make all determinations in the event of disagreements between the Enforcing Lender and the other Lender. In all cases with respect to Enforcement Actions, the Enforcing Lender shall have the right to act both on its own behalf and as agent for the other Lender with respect thereto. In addition, the other Lender shall take such actions and execute such documents and instruments as the Enforcing Lender may reasonably request in connection with and to facilitate any such Enforcement Actions and take any other action as the successor Agent requests to perfect or continue the Agent’s Lien in the Collateral or to effect the purposes of this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
j.Insolvency Events.  In the event of any distribution, division, or application, partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the property of Borrower or the proceeds thereof to the creditors of Borrower, or the readjustment of any Collateral Claims, whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any 













other action or proceeding involving the readjustment of all or any part of any of the Collateral Claims, or the application of the property of Borrower to the payment or liquidation thereof, or upon the dissolution or other winding up of Borrower’s business, or upon the sale of all or any substantial part of Borrower’s property (any of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as an “Insolvency Event”), then, and in any such event, and subject to any subordination arrangements to which the Lenders may be subject, (a) all payments and distributions of any kind or character, whether in cash or property or securities in respect of the Lenders’ Collateral Claims shall be distributed pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.2 of this Agreement; (b) each Lender shall promptly file a claim or claims, on the form required in such proceeding, for the full outstanding amount of such Lender’s Claim, and shall use its best efforts to cause said claim or claims to be approved; (c) each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably agrees that, to the extent that it fails timely to do so, any other Lender may in the name of the first Lender, or otherwise, prove up any and all Collateral Claims of the first Lender relating to the first Lender’s Claim; and (d) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of any kind or character (other than any payment received by SVB in respect of Bank Services) in respect of a Lender’s Collateral Claims, whether in cash, properties or securities, shall be received by a Lender in excess of its ratable share, then the portion of such payment or distribution in excess of such Lender’s ratable share shall be received by such Lender in trust for and shall be promptly paid over to the other Lender for application to the payments of amounts due on the other Lender’s Collateral Claims.
k.Foreclosure 
i.Only by mutual agreement shall the Lenders make or cause to be made a credit bid at any foreclosure sale or other sale of any of the Collateral on behalf of the Lenders. If Lenders are the successful bidders at the sale, then (a) the amount to be credited against their respective Collateral Claims shall be allocated pro rata between the Lenders according to the balances of such Collateral Claims, and (b) Lenders shall take title to the Collateral so purchased together, each holding a pro rata undivided interest in such Collateral. The parties shall mutually agree as to the most favorable disposition of any Collateral purchased with any such credit bid.
ii.No Lender shall make or cause to be made a cash bid at any foreclosure sale or other sale of any of the Collateral without the prior written consent of the other Lender. If a cash bid is made and is successful, then (a) the proceeds of the sale shall be allocated as set forth in Section 10.2 of this Agreement, and (b) the Lender that entered the successful bid shall acquire the Collateral so purchased for its own account, and the other Lender shall have no further interest in that Collateral upon the payment to such other Lender of the shares of the proceeds in accordance with Section 10.2 of this Agreement.
l.Relationship of Lenders.    The relationship among the Lenders is, and at all times shall remain solely that of co-lenders. Lenders shall not under any circumstances be construed to be partners or joint venturers of one another; nor shall the Lenders under any circumstances be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with one another, or to owe any fiduciary duty to one another. Lenders do not undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to one another to select, review, 













inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or otherwise inform each other of any matter in connection with Borrower’s property, any Collateral held by any Lender or the operations of Borrower. Each Lender shall rely entirely on its own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information undertaken or assumed by any Lender in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of such Lender.
m.Waterfall.    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the priorities set forth in Section 10.2 shall not apply to any and/or all of SVB’s present and future rights (whether described as rights of setoff, banker’s liens, chargeback or otherwise, and whether available to SVB under the law or under any other agreement between SVB and Borrower concerning any account maintained by Borrower with SVB or any of its affiliates (“Account”)) with respect to: (i) the face amount of a check, draft, money order, instrument, wire transfer of funds, automated clearing house entry, credit from a merchant card transaction, other electronic transfer of funds or other item (x) deposited in or credited to any Account and returned unpaid or otherwise uncollected or subject to an adjustment entry, whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason and without regard to the timeliness of the return or adjustment or the occurrence or timeliness of any other person’s notice of nonpayment or adjustment, (y) subject to a claim against SVB for breach of transfer, presentment, encoding, retention or other warranty under Federal Reserve Regulations or Operating Circulars, clearing house rules, the UCC or other applicable law, or (z) for a merchant card transaction, against which a contractual demand for chargeback has been made; (ii) service charges, fees or expenses payable or reimbursable SVB in connection with any Account or any related services; and (iii) any adjustments or corrections of any posting or encoding errors, for which SVB shall be senior to each other Lender.
n.Priority of Bank Services; Cash Collateral.    The parties agree that (x) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, SVB’s lien on the Collateral shall be senior in priority to the liens of Lenders under the Loan Agreement to the extent of Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in respect of Bank Services up to the Bank Services Cap (collectively, the “Reimbursement Obligations”), and (y) SVB may extend credit to Borrower in connection with the provision of Bank Services and take such action as SVB deems necessary to enforce its rights and remedies (including, without limitation, any Enforcement Action against the Collateral and Borrower) to satisfy the Reimbursement Obligations with respect to Bank Services, all without prior notice to or the consent of Hercules. Notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement to the contrary, any Proceeds of Collection received by the Agent or a Lender shall be paid over to SVB to be applied to the Reimbursement Obligations, with any remainder, after satisfaction of the Reimbursement Obligations to SVB, to be distributed to SVB and Hercules in the manner and order set forth in Sections 2.6 and 10.2, as applicable. In addition to the provision of Bank Services by SVB, which may be provided on a cash secured or a non-cash secured basis, the parties acknowledge that Borrower may in the future desire to pledge cash and/or securities in connection with the provision by SVB to Borrower of Bank Services. The parties agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrower may pledge cash and/or securities in an aggregate amount up to (and without duplication of) the Bank Services Cap to SVB as collateral to secure its obligations to SVB relating to Bank Services (such cash and/or securities and the proceeds thereof (but expressly excluding any other Collateral) being hereinafter referred to as the “Cash Collateral”). Hercules may not foreclose upon, or 













force SVB to take any actions with respect to, the Cash Collateral notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary. SVB consents to Borrower’s grant to Lenders of liens and security interests against the Cash Collateral, and the parties agree that the Cash Collateral and proceeds thereof shall be distributed to SVB and Hercules, after satisfaction of the Reimbursement Obligations to SVB, in the manner and order set forth in Sections 2.6 and 10.2, as applicable. This clause (i) shall not in any way (a) limit SVB’s rights under Section 10.2 or (b) supersede the limitations on Bank Services as set forth in clause (a) of this Addendum.
