hereunder or under any other Loan Document and such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, (i) the sum payable hereunder or thereunder shall be increased by as much as shall be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions
for Indemnified Taxes applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.7(a)), each Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made (any and all such additional amounts payable
shall hereafter be referred to as the “Additional Amounts”), (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
Applicable Laws. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of such Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment

Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within ten (10) days after receipt of demand therefor, each Lender for all Indemnified Taxes (including all Indemnified Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.7(c)) paid or payable by
such Lender, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the applicable Lender(s) setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to Borrower shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 (d) If any Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any
Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.7 (including by the payment of Additional Amounts), it shall pay to Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made
under this Section 2.7 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund). Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, 

  
 12 








 
shall repay to such Lender the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (d) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event
that such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (d), in no event will a Lender be required to pay any amount to Borrower pursuant to this paragraph
(d) the payment of which would place the Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise
imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its
Taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person. 
 (e) Each Lender that is a United States person (as such
term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes shall, on or before the date on which the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, provide to Borrower a properly completed and executed IRS Form
W-9 certifying that such Lender is not subject to backup withholding tax. Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Foreign
Lender”) and is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement shall, on or before the date on which the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, provide Borrower with a
properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8IMY or other applicable forms (together with any required supporting documentation), or any other applicable certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower, and,
if such Foreign Lender is relying on the portfolio interest exception of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code shall also provide the Borrower with a certificate (the “Portfolio Interest Certificate”) representing
that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, is not a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower described in Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, and is not a controlled
foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person (within the meaning of Sections 881(c)(3)(C) and 864(d)(4) of the Code); 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 Portfolio Interest Certificate in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner. Each Lender shall provide
new forms (or successor forms), certificates and documentation as reasonably requested by Borrower from time to time. In addition, each Lender shall notify Borrower in writing within a reasonable time after becoming aware of any event requiring a
change in the most recent forms, certificates or documentation previously delivered by such Lender to Borrower. 
 (f) If a
payment made to a Foreign Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax under FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to
the Borrower at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such U.S. tax forms reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be 

  
 13 








 
necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to
deduct and withhold from such payment. 
 Section 2.8 Fee and Costs. Borrower shall pay to Lenders for their pro rata benefit,
(a) on the Initial Funding Date, a fee equal to 2% of the Initial Loans, (b) on the date of each Incremental Loan, a fee equal to 2% of such Incremental Loan, and (c) on the date of each Acquisition Loan, a fee in the amount of 2% of
such Acquisition Loan. Borrower agrees to reimburse the Lenders for reasonable, documented expenses for attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lenders (i) in connection with their
due diligence, negotiation and documentation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including their review, negotiation and documentation of any post-closing obligations of the Credit Parties) up to an aggregate sum not to exceed
$300,000 and (ii) in connection with all amendments and modifications thereto, whether or not consummated. At Lender’s election, such reimbursed amounts may be deducted from the Initial Loans. 

Section 2.9 Interest. The outstanding principal amount of the Loans shall bear interest at the Interest Rate (calculated on the
basis of the actual number of days elapsed in each month). Interest shall be paid quarterly in arrears commencing on January 1, 2016 and on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October thereafter (each, an “Interest
Payment Date”). 
 Section 2.10 Interest on Late Payments. Without limiting the remedies available to the Lenders under
the Loan Documents or otherwise, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, if the Borrower fails to make a required payment of principal or interest with respect to the Loan when due or any Credit Party shall fail to timely comply with any
other provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (regardless of any cure period provided in Section 5.4(b) of this Agreement), the Borrower shall pay interest, in respect of such principal and interest at the rate per annum equal to
the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) for so long as such payment remains outstanding or such covenant is not timely cured. Such interest shall be payable on demand.

reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Conversion Notes and Incremental Conversion Notes, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon


  
 20 








 
such conversion and/or exercise (without taking into account any limitations on the conversion of the Conversion Notes and Incremental Conversion Notes as set forth therein). There are no

option plans, or (ii) any other options, warrants, agreements, contracts or other rights in existence to purchase or acquire from Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower any shares of the capital stock of Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower.

 (w) The issuance of the Notes and the Conversion Shares will not obligate Borrower to issue shares of Common Stock or
other securities to any Person (other than the Lenders) and will not result in a right of any holder of Borrower securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price or other right under any of such securities. There are no
stockholders’ agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to the Borrower’s capital stock to which Borrower is a party or, to Borrower’s knowledge, between or among any of Borrower’s stockholders. 

(x) Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Lenders set forth in Section 3.3 of this Agreement,
no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities and the Acquisition Notes by the Borrower to the Lenders under the Loan Documents. The issuance and sale of the Securities and the Acquisition Notes
hereunder complies and will comply in all material respects with and does not and will not contravene the rules and regulations of the Principal Trading Market. 

(y) Borrower is not, and immediately after issuance of any Notes will not be, an “investment company” within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Borrower shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 

(z) Other than the Lenders, no Person has any right to cause Borrower to effect the registration under the Securities Act of
any securities of Borrower other than those securities which are currently registered on an effective registration statement on file with the Commission.

Borrower has not taken any action designed to terminate the registration of the shares of Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Borrower received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration. Borrower
is in compliance in all material respects with all listing and maintenance requirements of the Principal Trading Markets. 

  
 21 








 (bb) Neither Borrower nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, any person acting on
behalf of Borrower, has offered or sold any of the Securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. 

(cc) The Borrower is in compliance in all material respects with all of the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 which
are applicable to it. The Borrower has established disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) for the Borrower and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by it in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.
Borrower’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act (such date, the “Evaluation
Date”). The Borrower has presented in its most recently filed periodic report under the Exchange Act the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as
of the Evaluation Date. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no changes in Borrower’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting. 
 (dd) Intentionally Omitted. 

(ee) Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Lenders set forth in Section 3.3, none of the
Borrower, nor, to the Borrower’s knowledge, any of its Affiliates or any Person acting on its behalf has, directly or indirectly, at any time within the past six (6) months, made any offers or sales of any Borrower security or solicited
any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would (i) eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Regulation D under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale by the Borrower of the Securities
as contemplated hereby or (ii) cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to the Loan Documents to be integrated with prior offerings by the Borrower for purposes of any applicable law, regulation or stockholder approval provisions,
including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Borrower are listed or designated. 

(ff) The Borrower has not, and to the Borrower’s knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or
indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Borrower to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any
compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the securities of the Borrower or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Borrower.

 Section 3.2 Acknowledgment. Borrower acknowledges that it has made the
representations and warranties referred to in Section 3.1 with the intention of persuading the Lenders to enter into the Loan Documents and that the Lenders have entered into the Loan Documents on the basis of, and in full reliance on, each of
such representations and warranties, each of which shall survive the execution of this Agreement until the Obligations are paid in full and each representation and warranty set forth in Sections 3.1(v) (except for the last sentence thereof), (w),
(x), (aa) and (ee) shall be deemed to be continuously made at all time until the Obligations are paid in full. 
 Section 3.3

(a) Such Lender is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation. 

(b) Each Loan Document to which it is a party has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Lender and constitutes

creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) applicable equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity). 

(c) Such Lender has full power and authority to make the Loans and to enter into and perform its other obligations under each
of the Loan Documents and carry out the other transactions contemplated thereby. 
 (d) Each of the Conversion Notes,
Incremental Conversion Notes and Conversion Shares to be received by such Lender hereunder will be acquired for such Lender’s own account, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act,
except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act, and such Lender has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same in violation of the Securities Act without prejudice,
however, to such Lender’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or
warranty by such Lender to hold the Securities for any period of time and such Lender reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act.

 (e) Such Lender can bear the economic risk and complete loss of its investment in the Securities and has such knowledge
and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment contemplated hereby. 

  
 23 








 (f) Such Lender understands that the Securities are characterized as
“restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from Borrower in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be
resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. 
 (g) Such Lender is an
“accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

ARTICLE 5 
 PARTICULAR
COVENANTS AND EVENTS OF DEFAULT 
 Section 5.1 Affirmative Covenants. Unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree:

 (i) Borrower shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to maintain their existence and qualify and remain qualified to do their business as
currently conducted, except for any merger or dissolution of a Subsidiary in accordance with Section 5.2(i) or where the failure to maintain such qualification would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(ii) Borrower shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to comply with all Applicable Laws, except to the extent that any noncompliance would not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (iii) Borrower shall obtain and shall cause its Subsidiaries to make and keep
in full force and effect all Authorizations, except to the extent that any failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(iv) Borrower shall promptly notify the Lenders of the occurrence of (i) any Default or Event of Default, (ii) any claims,
litigation, arbitration, mediation or administrative or regulatory proceedings that are instituted or threatened against Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries concurrently with any public disclosure of any such event, and (iii) each event which,
at the giving of notice, lapse of time, determination of materiality or fulfillment of any other applicable condition (or any combination of the foregoing), would constitute an event of default (however described) under any Loan Document. 

(v) Borrower will timely file with the Commission (subject to appropriate extensions made under Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act) any annual
reports, quarterly reports and other periodic reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. 
 (vi)
Borrower shall, so long as any of the Conversion Notes or Incremental Conversion Notes are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued capital stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of the Conversion Notes and Incremental Notes, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (without taking into account any limitations on the conversion of the Notes as set forth therein). 

(vii) In the event that any Person becomes a Material Domestic Subsidiary of Borrower, Borrower shall within thirty (30) days of such
Person becoming a Material Domestic Subsidiary (or such later date as the Lenders may agree in their sole discretion) cause such Material Domestic Subsidiary to become a Guarantor; provided, however, neither (x) any Domestic Subsidiary of a
Foreign Subsidiary nor (y) any Foreign Subsidiary Holding Company shall be required to become a Guarantor to the extent such Guaranty would result in a material adverse tax consequence of the Borrower. 

  
 27 








 If any notice or information required to be furnished (other than an Acquisition Loan Request)
contains material non-public information (any such notice or information, a “Public Notice”), the Borrower, instead of delivering such Public Notice to all the Lenders shall promptly deliver such Public Notice to each Lender that is
not a Restricted Lender and promptly notify each Restricted Lender in writing or orally that Borrower desires to deliver to such Restricted Lender a Public Notice. Within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such notification the Restricted
Lender may either (i) refuse the delivery of such Public Notice, in which case Borrower’s obligations with respect to such Public Notice and such Restricted Lender shall be deemed satisfied, or (ii) enter into good faith negotiations
with the Borrower to agree on the time period within which the Borrower will make the material non-public information contained in such Public Notice publicly available by including such information in a filing with the SEC. If Borrower and such
Restricted Lender agree on such time period, the Borrower shall promptly deliver to such Restricted Lender such Public Notice and shall include the applicable material non-public information in a public filing with the SEC within such agreed to time
period. The failure to agree on such time period will be deemed to satisfy Borrower’s obligations with respect to such Public Notice and such Restricted Lender. For avoidance of doubt, it is the Parties’ intention that the requirements of
this paragraph shall not prevent Borrower from borrowing any Loan that would be made in accordance with the terms hereof but for the provisions of this paragraph, nor shall such requirements be construed as a waiver of any Lender’s obligation
to fund such a Loan. 
 Section 5.2 Negative Covenants. Unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree: 

(i) Other than transactions permitted by Section 7.04 of the Credit Agreement, Borrower shall not and shall not permit any
Subsidiary to (a) liquidate, dissolve or be wound up provided that a Subsidiary may merge into Borrower or any other Subsidiary, or (b) enter into any merger, consolidation or reorganization, unless in the case of this
Section 5.2(i)(b) (x) Borrower or a Subsidiary is the surviving corporation or, (y) subject to a Change of Control, if the survivor is a Person other than Borrower or a Subsidiary, such Person assumes the Obligations of Borrower under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall not establish any Material Domestic Subsidiary unless such Material Domestic Subsidiary executes and delivers to the Lenders a Guaranty in accordance with Section 5.1(vii); 

(ii) Other than transactions permitted by Sections 7.03, 7.04, 7.05, 7.06, 7.08, 7.09, and 7.13 of the Credit Agreement,
Borrower shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to (a) enter into any partnership, joint venture, syndicate, pool, profit-sharing or royalty agreement or other combination, or engage in any transaction with an Affiliate (other than a
Subsidiary), whereby its income or profits are or might be, shared with another Person (other than a Subsidiary), or (b) make any cash dividend or distribute, or permit the dividend or distribution of, any of its assets, including its
intangibles, to any of its shareholders in such capacity or its Affiliates (other than a Subsidiary) (except for distributions in which Lenders participate pursuant to the provisions of the Notes); 

  
 28 








 (iii) Borrower shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to (a) create,
incur or suffer any Lien upon any of its assets, except Permitted Liens, or (b) assign, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, any Loan Document or its rights and obligations thereunder; 

(iv) Borrower shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to create, incur, assume, guarantee or be liable with respect to
any Indebtedness, except for Permitted Indebtedness; 
 (v) Borrower shall not and shall not permit any Subsidiary to sell or
otherwise transfer its assets other than as permitted by the Credit Agreement; and 
 (vi) Borrower shall not issue any
Equity Interests (i) senior to its shares of Common Stock or (ii) convertible or exercisable for Equity Interests senior to its Common Stock. 

Section 5.3 [Intentionally Deleted.] 

Section 5.4 General Acceleration Provision upon Events of Default. If one or more of the events specified in this Section 5.4
shall have happened and be continuing beyond the applicable cure period (each, an “Event of Default”), the Required Lenders, by written notice to the Borrower (an “Acceleration Notice”), may declare the principal
of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all of the Notes or any part of any of them (together with any other amounts accrued or payable under the Loan Documents) to be, and the same shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable, without any
further notice and without any presentment, demand, or protest of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower, and take any further action available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, the sale of the Loan and
all other rights acquired in connection with the Loan: 
 (a) The Borrower shall have failed to make payment of
(i) principal when due, or (ii) interest or any other amounts due under the Notes or any other Obligations within five (5) Business Days of their due date. 

(b) Any Credit Party shall have failed to comply with the due observance or performance of (i) Section 5.1(v), other
than the failure to timely file an 8-K, (ii) Section 5.1(v) solely as a result of the failure to timely file an 8-K and such failure is not remedied by Borrower within five (5) days of the due date for such filing, or (iii) any
other covenant contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (other than the covenant described in (a) above, or as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5.4) or in the other Loan Documents and, in the case of
(iii) above, such default is not remedied by the Borrower or waived by the Required Lenders within thirty (30) days (inclusive of any extension periods or cure periods contained in any such covenant or provided by Applicable Laws) after
the earlier of (A) receipt by any Credit Party of notice from the Lenders of such default, or (B) actual knowledge of any Credit Party of such default. 

(c) Any representation or warranty made by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries in any Loan Document shall be incorrect,
false or misleading in any 

  
 29 








 
material respect (except to the extent that such representation or warranty is qualified by reference to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, to which extent it shall be incorrect, false or
misleading in any respect) as of the date it was made or deemed made. 
 (d) (i) Any Credit Party or any of its
Subsidiaries shall generally be unable to pay its debts as such debts become due or be deemed to be unable to pay its debts, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they come due or shall make a general assignment for the benefit
of creditors; (ii) any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries shall declare a moratorium on the payment of its debts; (iii) the commencement by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries of proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or
insolvent, or the consent by it to the commencement of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization, examinership, intervention or other similar relief under any
applicable law, or the consent by it to the filing of any such petition or to the appointment of an intervenor, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, examiner (or other similar official) of all or substantially all of its assets;
(iv) the commencement against any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries of a proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction under any bankruptcy or other applicable law (as now or hereafter in effect) seeking its liquidation, winding up,
dissolution, reorganization, examinership, arrangement, adjustment, or the appointment of an intervenor, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, examiner (or other similar official), and any such proceeding shall continue undismissed,
or any order, judgment or decree approving or ordering any of the foregoing shall continue unstayed or otherwise in effect, for a period of sixty (60) days; (v) the making by any Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries of an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay its debt generally as they become due; or (vi) any other event shall have occurred which under any applicable law would have an effect analogous to any of those
events listed above in this subsection. 
 (e) One or more final judgments against any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or
attachments against any of their respective property, which in the aggregate exceed $3,000,000 (net of any anticipated insurance proceeds), and such judgment(s) remains unpaid, unstayed on appeal, undischarged, unbonded or undismissed for a period
of thirty (30) days from the date of entry of such judgment. 
 (f) Any Authorization held by any Credit Party or any of
its Subsidiaries shall have been suspended, cancelled or revoked, and such suspension, cancellation or revocation would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(g) Any Authorization necessary for the execution, delivery or performance of any Loan Document or for the validity or
enforceability of any of the Obligations is not given or is withdrawn or ceases to remain in full force or effect. 
 (h)
There is a failure to perform under any agreement to which any Credit Party is a party resulting in the acceleration by a third party of the maturity of any Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $3,000,000. 

  
 30 








 (i) The validity of any Loan Document shall be contested by any Credit Party, or
any Applicable Law shall purport to render any material provision of any Loan Document invalid or unenforceable or shall purport to prevent or materially delay the performance or observance by any Credit Party of the Obligations. 

(j) The shares of Common Stock of Borrower cease to be listed on the Principal Trading Markets or the shares of Common Stock
cease to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. 
 (k) The occurrence of a Conversion Failure. 

(l) The occurrence of any Change of Control. 

Section 5.5 Automatic Acceleration on Dissolution or Bankruptcy. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, if an
Event of Default under Section 5.4(d) shall occur, the principal of the Notes (together with any other amounts accrued or payable under this Agreement) shall thereupon become immediately due and payable without any presentment, demand, protest
or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. 
 Section 5.6 Recovery of Amounts Due. If any
amount payable hereunder is not paid as and when due, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Lenders to proceed, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without prior notice, by right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim, against
any moneys or other assets of any Credit Party to the full extent of all amounts payable to the Lenders.

Section 6.2 Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to be given to the Lenders or the Borrower under any of the Loan
Documents, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice. 

Section 6.3 Reimbursement of Legal and Other Expenses. If any amount owing to the Lenders under any Loan Document shall be
collected through enforcement of this Agreement, any Loan Document or restructuring of the Loan in the nature of a work-out, settlement, negotiation, or any process of law, or shall be placed in the hands of third Persons for collection, the
Borrower shall pay (in addition to all monies then due in respect of the Loan or otherwise payable under any Loan Document) all reasonable and documented external attorneys’ and other fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in respect of such
collection. 

  
 32 








 Section 6.4 Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity,
enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such State. Each party agrees that all legal
proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents)
shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New
York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or
proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of
process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it
under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by
law. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY. 
 Section 6.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind
and inure to the respective successors and assigns of the Parties, except that (a) a Credit Party may not assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Required
Lenders, and (b) a Lender may assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its Notes upon three (3) days prior notice to Borrower; provided, that, absent the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, Lenders shall not
assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of their Notes to an Ineligible Transferee without the prior written consent of Borrower, which consent may be withheld in Borrower’s discretion. Upon a Lender’s assignment of a Note such Lender
shall provide notice of the transfer to Borrower for recordation in the Register pursuant to Section 1.4. Upon receipt of a notice of a transfer of an interest in a Note, Borrower shall record the identity of the transferee and other relevant
information in the Register and the transferee shall (to the extent of the interests transferred to such transferee) have all the rights and obligations of, and shall be deemed, a Lender hereunder. 

Section 6.6 Entire Agreement. The Loan Documents contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the matters
covered thereby and supersede any and all other written and oral communications, negotiations, commitments and writings with respect thereto. The provisions of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended only by an instrument in
writing signed by the authorized officer of each Party. 

  
 33 








 Section 6.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

Section 6.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and by each Party on separate counterparts, each
of which and any photocopies and facsimile copies thereof shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 

Section 6.9 Survival. 

(a) This Agreement and all agreements, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents, and in any document,
certificate or statement delivered pursuant thereto or in connection therewith shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loan hereunder
regardless of any investigation made by any such other Party or on its behalf, and this Agreement shall continue in force until all amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall have been fully paid in accordance with the provisions thereof, and
the Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of making the Loans, any Event of Default that may arise by reason of any such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that the Lenders may have
had notice or knowledge of any such Event of Default or may have had notice or knowledge that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the Loans were made. 

(b) The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 1.4 and 2.6 and the obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders under
this Article 6 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 

Section 6.10 No Waiver. Neither the failure of, nor any delay on the part of, any Party in exercising any right, power or
privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or
instrument mentioned herein, preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any waiver of any right, power, privilege or default hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument
mentioned herein, constitute a waiver of any other right, power, privilege or default or constitute a waiver of any default of the same or of any other term or provision. No course of dealing and no delay in exercising, or omission to exercise, any
right, power or remedy accruing to the Lenders upon any default under this Agreement, or any other agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the action of the
Lenders in respect of any such default, or any acquiescence by it therein, affect or impair any right, power or remedy of the Lenders in respect of any other default. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies otherwise provided by law. 

  
 34 








 Section 6.11 Indemnity. 

(a) Borrower shall, at all times, indemnify and hold each Lender harmless (the “Indemnity”) and each of their
respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) in connection with any losses, claims (including the reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in defending against
such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties, or other expenses arising out of, or relating to, the Loan Documents, the extension of credit hereunder or the Loans or the use or intended use of the Loans, which an Indemnified Person may incur or to
which an Indemnified Person may become subject (each, a “Loss”). The Indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction issues a final judgment that such Loss resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person. The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to any other agreement of any Credit Party under any Loan Document to pay any amount to the Lenders, and any exclusion of any obligation to
pay any amount under this subsection shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section hereof or under any other agreement. This Section 6.11 shall not apply with respect to Taxes (which are governed by
Section 2.6) other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. 
 (b)
Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Loss in respect thereof is to be made against the
indemnifying person under this Section 6.11, deliver to Borrower a written notice of the commencement thereof, and Borrower shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent Borrower so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof
with counsel mutually satisfactory to Borrower and the Indemnified Person, as the case may be. 
 (c) An Indemnified Person
shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the documented reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses to be paid by the indemnifying person, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Person, the representation by such
counsel of the Indemnified Person and Borrower would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. Credit Parties shall pay for
only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons. The failure of an Indemnified Person to deliver written notice to the Borrower within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve Credit Parties of any
liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11, except to the extent that Credit Parties are actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6.11 shall be made by periodic
payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable. 

Section 6.12 No Usury. The Loan Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by
reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any


  
 35 








 
provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled
shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law, that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be
deemed excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Loans, or if such deemed excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loans, such deemed excess shall be refunded to the
Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loans until payment in full so that
the deemed rate of interest on account of the Loans is uniform throughout the term thereof. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement and the Notes. 

Section 6.13 Several Obligations. The obligations of the Lenders under the Loan Documents shall be several and not joint.

a Share upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a Share, then the Company shall round such fraction of a Share up or down to the nearest whole share (with 0.5 rounded up). Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Company shall not issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not acquire, a number of Shares upon conversion of this Note or otherwise issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto or the Facility Agreement to the extent that, upon
such conversion, the number of Shares then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d)
of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right
to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.98% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “9.98% Cap”); provided, however, that the
9.98% Cap shall only apply to the extent that 







 
the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set
forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage held by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written
request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Shares then outstanding. 

33. Conversion Rate. The number of Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of any portion of this Note pursuant to
Section 2 shall be determined according to the following formula (the “Conversion Rate”): 

            Conversion
Amount             
 Conversion Price 

The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment in connection with a Major Transaction Conversion (as defined below) in accordance with and subject to the
provisions of Section 3 hereof. 
 34. Mechanics of Conversion. The conversion of this Note shall be
conducted in the following manner: 
 35. Holder’s Delivery Requirements. To convert a Conversion Amount into Conversion Shares
on any date (the “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile or electronic mail (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such date, a copy of an executed conversion
notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or, in the case of a Major Transaction Conversion for Major Transaction Company Shares (as defined below), a Major Transaction Conversion Notice (such applicable notice, the “Conversion
Notice”) to the Company (Attention: Kathryn Sevier Phillips, 115 East Park Drive, Second Floor, Brentwood, TN 37027, Fax: (615) 691-7130, Email: ksphillips@contactaac.com), and (B) if required by
Section 2(c)(vi), surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company, no later than three (3) Business Days after the Conversion Date, the original Note being converted (or an indemnification undertaking in customary form
with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction). 
 36. Company’s Response. Upon receipt or deemed
receipt by the Company of a copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company (I) shall promptly send, via facsimile or electronic mail, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Company’s designated transfer agent
(the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein and (II) on or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of receipt or deemed receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice or, in the case of Major Transaction Company Shares, within the period provided in
Section 3(d) (the “Share Delivery Date”); (A) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and provided that
the Holder is eligible to receive Shares through DTC, credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the 







 
Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (B) if the foregoing shall not apply,
issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a stock certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled. If notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 2(c)(vi), the Holder elects to physically surrender this Note for conversion, and the Principal represented by this Note is greater than the Principal being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable
and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of this Note (the “Note Delivery Date”) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Note representing the Principal not converted and cancel this
Note. This Note and the Conversion Shares will be freely tradable, and freely transferable, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Conversion Shares if the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) are met.

 37. Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price or the arithmetic calculation of
the Conversion Rate, the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder the number of Conversion Shares that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder
via facsimile or electronic mail within two (2) Business Days of receipt or deemed receipt of the Holder’s Conversion Notice or other date of determination. If the Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the
Conversion Price or arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within one (1) Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Company shall promptly (and in any event within two
(2) Business Days) submit via facsimile or electronic mail (A) the disputed determination of the Conversion Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm agreed to by the Company and the Required Note Holders, or (B) the
disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Company shall direct the investment bank or the accounting firm, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or
calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than four (4) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accounting firm’s determination or
calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any such final determination in respect of a dispute in connection with a Major Transaction in which the
Company is not the surviving parent entity, shall be made prior to consummation of such Major Transaction. 
 38. Record Holder. The
person or persons entitled to receive the Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the legal and record holder or holders of such Shares upon delivery of the Conversion Notice via facsimile,
electronic mail, or otherwise in accordance with the terms hereof. 
 39. Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. 

40. Cash Damages. If within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile or electronic mail copy of a
Conversion Notice or deemed receipt of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder for, or credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC with, the








 
number of Conversion Shares (free of any restrictive legend if the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) are met) to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of any
Conversion Amount (subject to Section 2(c)(iii)), then in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement, the Company shall pay additional damages to the Holder for each
30-day period (such additional damages to be prorated for any partial period) after the Share Delivery Date such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the product of (I) the number of Conversion Shares
not issued to the Holder or its designee on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled and (II) the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date (such product is referred to herein as the
“Share Product Amount”). Alternatively, subject to Section 2(c)(iii), at the election of the Holder made in the Holder’s sole discretion, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in lieu of the additional damages
referred to in the preceding sentence (but in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement), 105% of the amount by which (A) the Holder’s total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the Shares purchased to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled but has not received upon a conversion exceeds (B) the net proceeds
received by the Holder from the sale of the Shares to which the Holder is entitled but has not received upon such conversion. If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(c)(v)(A) within five
(5) Business Days of the date incurred, then the Holder entitled to such payments shall have the right at any time, so long as the Company continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately
issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of Shares equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Conversion Price in effect on such Conversion Date as specified by the
Holder in the Conversion Notice. 
 41. Void Conversion Notice. If for any reason the Holder has not received all of the Conversion
Shares prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of this Note (a “Conversion Failure”), then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company (a “Void Conversion
Notice”), may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to the Holder’s Conversion Notice; provided, that the
voiding of the Holder’s Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A). 

42. Event of Default. A Conversion Failure shall constitute an Event of Default under the Facility Agreement and entitle the
Purchasers to all payments and remedies provided under the Facility Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default. 
 43.
Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion or redemption of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless
all of the Principal is being converted or redeemed. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal converted or redeemed and the dates of such conversions or redemptions 







 
or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon any such partial conversion or redemption.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is converted or redeemed as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver
upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining Principal represented by this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and
agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the Principal of this Note may be less than the principal amount stated on the face hereof. 

44. Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all taxes (excluding income taxes, franchise taxes or other taxes levied on
gross earnings, profits or the like of the Holder) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note. 

45. Legends. 
 46.
Restrictive Legend. The Holder understands that until such time as the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws as contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may
be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, this Note and the
Conversion Shares, as applicable, may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates or on Holder’s or its designees balance account with DTC for such
securities): 
 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE OR ON HOLDER’S OR ITS DESIGNEE’S BALANCE ACCOUNT WITH DTC,
HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE
SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PURSUANT TO RULES 144 OR 144A UNDER SAID ACT OR PURSUANT TO A PRIVATE SALE EFFECTED UNDER APPLICABLE FORMAL OR INFORMAL SEC
INTERPRETATION OR GUIDANCE, SUCH AS A SO-CALLED “4(a)(1 1⁄2)” SALE.” 

47. Removal of Restrictive Legends. Certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares or Conversion Shares in a Holder’s or its
designee’s balance account with DTC (including any Major Transaction Company Shares), as applicable, shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in subsection 2(e)(i)):
(A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the sale or resale of the Conversion Shares is effective 







 
under the Securities Act, or (B) following any sale of such Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144(b)(1), or
(D) if the holder of the Conversion Shares certifies, on or after the date that is six (6) months after the Funding Date, that such holder is not an “affiliate” of the Company (and has not been an affiliate during the preceding
three (3) months) (as defined in Rule 144), or (E) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC) (collectively, the
“Unrestricted Conditions”). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent promptly after the date that a registration statement covering the resale of the Conversion Shares has been declared
effective by the SEC (the “Effective Date”), or at such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions have been satisfied, if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the issuance of the Conversion Shares without a restrictive
legend or removal of the legend hereunder. If any of the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of any of the Conversion Shares, then such Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the
Effective Date or at such time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(e), it will, no later than three (3) Trading Days following the delivery (the
“Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline”) by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Conversion Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “Legend Removal
Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Holder a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. 

48. Sale of Unlegended Shares. Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from any certificates
(or from Conversion Shares in a Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC) representing securities as set forth in Section 2(e) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell any
Conversion Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold
pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein. 

49. Dividend, Subdivision, Combination or Reclassification. If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time,
(A) declare a dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock (including Common Stock) (other than a dividend for which the Holder would be entitled to participate pursuant to Section 6 hereof),
(B) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, (C) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of its Common Stock, or (D) issue any shares of its capital stock in a
reclassification of the Common Stock (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation), then in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the
record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted so that the Holder of this Note upon conversion after such date shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind
of shares of capital stock which, if this Note had been converted immediately prior to such date, such holder would have owned upon such conversion and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend,








 
subdivision, combination or reclassification. Any such adjustment shall become effective immediately after the record date of such dividend or the effective date of such subdivision, combination
or reclassification. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur. If a dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock (including Common Stock) is declared and such dividend is not paid,
the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price, in effect immediately prior to such record date (giving effect to all adjustments that otherwise would be required to be made pursuant to this Section 2 from and
after such record date). 
 50. Rights Upon Major Transaction. In the event that a Major Transaction occurs, then the
Holder may convert all or a portion of the principal amount outstanding in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3 (a “Major Transaction Conversion”) and cause the Company to pay to the Holder in cash all
accrued and unpaid Interest under this Note. The Holder shall have the right to waive its rights under this Section 3 with respect to such Major Transaction. 

51. Major Transaction Conversion. In the event that a Major Transaction occurs, then (1) in the case of a
transaction covered by the provisions of clause (A) of the definition of “Major Transaction” (a “Takeout Major Transaction”) or an Asset Sale, in either case, in or in connection with which the shares of Common Stock
of the Company are converted into the right, or the holders thereof will become entitled (including, in the case of an Asset Sale, in connection with the liquidation of the Company), to receive cash, securities of another entity and/or other assets
(a “Successor Major Transaction”), the Holder, at its option, may convert, in whole or in part, the outstanding principal amount under this Note into the right to receive upon consummation of the Major Transaction the following
consideration (the “Successor Consideration”) (i) in the case of a Takeout Major Transaction, the amount of cash and other assets and the number of securities or other property of the Successor Entity or other entity that the
Holder would have received had such Holder converted the Major Transaction Conversion Amount (as defined below) into Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares (as defined below and without regard to the 9.98% Cap) immediately prior to
the consummation of such Major Transaction and (ii) in the case of an Asset Sale, an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares that the Holder would have received had
such Holder converted the Major Transaction Conversion Amount into Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares (without regard to the 9.98% Cap) immediately prior to such Asset Sale and (y) the Closing Market Price (as defined on
Schedule 1 hereto), and (2) in the case of all other Major Transactions (a “Company Share Major Transaction”), the Holder shall have the right to convert, in whole or in part, and from time to time, the outstanding principal
amount under this Note into Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares (“Major Transaction Company Shares”). 

52. Base Conversion Shares and Additional Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with
respect to any conversion or 







 
deemed conversion effected in connection with a Major Transaction pursuant to this Section 3, the aggregate total number of Major Transaction Company Shares into which all or any
portion of the principal amount of this Note may be converted or, the aggregate number of Conversion Shares to be used for calculating the Successor Consideration, as applicable, shall be calculated to be the sum of (a) the number of shares of
the Common Stock into which the principal amount of this Note then being converted would otherwise be converted as calculated under Section 2 hereof (such number of shares, the “Base Conversion Shares”), plus
(b) the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (x) the Additional Share Coefficient (as such term is defined and determined for each $1,000 of principal amount of this Note on Schedule 1 attached hereto and made a part
hereof) for such Major Transaction and (y) a fraction the numerator of which is the amount of the principal amount of this Note then being converted and the denominator of which is $1,000 (such number of shares of Common Stock calculated in
accordance with this clause (b), the “Additional Conversion Shares”). 

53. Notice; Major Transaction Conversion Election. At least thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of any
Major Transaction (other than a transaction described in clause (C) of the definition of “Major Transaction”), if possible, but, in any event, within five (5) Business Days following the first to occur of (x) the date of the
public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, or (y) the day following the public announcement of such Major Transaction if such announcement is made on and after 4:00 p.m., New
York City time, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile, electronic mail or overnight courier to the Holder (a “Major Transaction Notice”). At any time during the Major Transaction Conversion Period, the
Holder may elect to effect a Major Transaction Conversion by delivering written notice thereof (“Major Transaction Conversion Notice”) to the Company, which Major Transaction Conversion Notice shall indicate the portion of the Note
(the “Major Transaction Conversion Amount”), calculated with reference to the principal amount outstanding, that the Holder is electing to treat as a Major Transaction Conversion. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be
permitted to make successive conversions and send successive Major Transaction Conversion Notices in respect of a Company Share Major Transaction from time to time at any time during the Major Transaction Conversion Period; provided that the Company
will not be required to issue Conversion Shares with respect to a Major Transaction Conversion Notice with respect to less than the lesser of (i) the principal amount outstanding under the Note and (ii) an amount which, when aggregated
with all conversions of Notes on the same day, represents $1,000,000 principal amount of this Note. 
 54. Settlement of
Major Transaction Conversion. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Conversion Notice from the Holder, the Company shall not effect a Successor Major Transaction that is being treated as a Major Transaction Conversion unless at the time
of the execution of the definitive documentation relating to such Major Transaction it obtains the written agreement of the Successor Entity that payment or issuance of the Successor Consideration, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the date
of payment, shall be made to the Holder upon consummation of such 







 
Major Transaction and such payment or issuance, as the case may be, shall be a condition to consummation of such Major Transaction. Concurrently upon closing of such Successor Major Transaction,
the Company shall pay or issue, as the case may be, or shall instruct any escrow agent for the transaction to pay or issue, or will cause the Successor Entity to issue and/or pay, the applicable Successor Consideration, plus accrued and unpaid
interest through the date of payment. The Major Transaction Company Shares issuable in respect of a Company Share Major Transaction shall be issued or paid, as applicable, to the Holder within three (3) Trading Days following the date of each
Major Transaction Conversion Notice. 
 55. Injunction. Following the receipt of a Major Transaction Conversion
Notice from the Holder, in the event that the Company attempts to consummate a Successor Major Transaction without obtaining the written agreement of the Successor Entity described in subsection (d) above, the Holder shall have the right
to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan to prevent the closing of such Major Transaction until the Successor Consideration is satisfied to the Holder, in full. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and without derogating any obligations or rights herein, until the Holder receives
its appropriate payment or securities, plus any accrued and unpaid interest under this Note, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3, this Note may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Shares, or in the event
that such payments and/or shares have not been delivered prior to the consummation of the Successor Major Transaction in which the Company is not the surviving parent entity, shares of common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity at an
appropriate conversion price based upon the prevailing Conversion Rate (as adjusted hereunder) at the time of such Major Transaction and price per share or conversion ratio received by holders of Common Stock in the Major Transaction. 

56. Registration Failures. Upon any Registration Failure, in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder
may pursue under the Facility Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and this Note, the Company shall pay additional damages to the Holder for such 30-day period (prorated for any partial period) after the date of such Registration Failure in
an amount in cash equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of such Holder’s original principal amount of this Note on the date of such Registration Failure. Such payments shall accrue until the earlier of (i) such time as the
Registration Failure has been cured and (ii) the date on which all of the Conversion Shares may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions and without the need for the availability of current
public information under Rule 144). All such payments that accrue under this Section 4 shall be payable no later than five (5) Business Days following such date of accrual. 

57. Voting Rights. Except as required by law, the Holder shall have no voting rights with respect to any of the
Conversion Shares until delivery of the Conversion Notice relating to the conversion of this Note upon which such Conversion Shares are issuable. 







 58. Participation. The Holder, as the holder of this Note, shall be
entitled to receive as additional interest such dividends paid and distributions of any kind (whether in cash or otherwise) made to the holders of Common Stock of the Company to the same extent as if the Holder had converted this Note into Common
Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise herein or elsewhere and without regard to whether or not a sufficient number of shares are authorized and reserved to effect any such exercise and issuance) and had held such shares of Common
Stock on the record date for such dividends and distributions. Payments under the preceding sentence shall be made concurrently with the dividend or distribution to the holders of Common Stock. 

59. Amendment; Waiver. The terms and provisions of this Note shall not be amended or waived except in a writing signed
by the Company and the Holder. 
 60. Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief.
The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note, the Facility Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No
remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy, and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of
this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause
irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other
available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. 

61. Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction. No specific provision contained in this Note shall limit or modify
any more general provision contained herein, unless stated otherwise in this Agreement. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all purchasers of Notes pursuant to the Facility Agreement and shall not be construed against
any Person as the drafter hereof. 
 62. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the
Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right,
power or privilege. 
 63. Notices. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Note, unless otherwise provided
herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 6.1 of the Facility Agreement. 







 64. Restrictions on Transfer. 

65. Registration or Exemption Required. This Note has been issued in a transaction exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Regulation D. None of the Note or the Conversion Shares may be pledged, transferred, sold, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an
exemption to the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws including, without limitation, a so-called “4(a)(1 1⁄2)”
transaction. 
 66. Assignment. Subject to Section 12(a) above and Section 6.5 of the
Facility Agreement, the Holder may sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of this Note, in whole or in part, provided that the Holder shall deliver three (3) days’ prior written notice to the Company, substantially in the form of the
Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit B, indicating the Person or Persons to whom the Note shall be assigned and the respective principal amount of the Note to be assigned to each assignee. The Company shall effect the assignment within three
(3) Business Days (the “Transfer Delivery Period”), and shall deliver to the assignee(s) designated by Holder a Note or Notes of like tenor and terms for the appropriate principal amount. This Note and the rights evidenced
hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Note are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Note, and shall be enforceable by
any such Holder. For avoidance of doubt, in the event Holder notifies the Company that such sale or transfer is a so called “4(a)(1 1⁄2)”
transaction, the parties hereto agree that a legal opinion from outside counsel for the Holder delivered to counsel for the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C shall be the only requirement to satisfy an exemption
from registration under the Securities Act to effectuate such “4(a)(1 1⁄2)” transaction. 

67. Payment of Collection, Enforcement and Other Costs. If (a) this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for
collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding; or (b) an attorney is retained to represent the Holder in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership of the Company or other proceedings affecting Company
creditors’ rights and involving a claim under this Note, then the Company shall pay the costs incurred by the Holder for such collection, enforcement or action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. 

68. Cancellation. After all Principal, Interest and other amounts at any time owed under, or on account of, this Note
have been paid in full or converted into Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, this Note shall automatically be deemed cancelled, shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation and shall not be reissued. 

69. [RESERVED]

enforcement and interpretation of this Note shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such State. The Company agrees that all legal

to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed
herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or other proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an
inconvenient venue for such proceeding. The Company hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or other proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or
overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under the Facility Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

 Exhibit C 

FORM OF OPINION 

            , 20     

[                    ] 

 

	Re:	AAC Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) 

 Dear Sir: 

[                    ]
(“[                    ]”) intends to transfer its Convertible Note in the principal amount of
$         (the “Note”) of the Company to                     
(“                    ”) without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In
connection herewith, we have examined such documents and issues of law as we have deemed relevant. 
 Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the
opinion that the transfer of the Note by                      to
                     may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, provided, however, that the Note to be transferred to
                     contain a legend restricting its transferability pursuant to the Securities Act and that transfer of the Note is subject
to a stop order. 
 The foregoing opinion is furnished only to
                     and may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to or relied upon by you for any purposes other than the
purpose for which furnished or by any other person for any purpose, without our prior written consent. 
 Very truly yours, 







 Schedule 1 

Additional Share Coefficient 
 The
“Additional Share Coefficient” shall mean the number of additional shares of Common Stock issuable per $1,000 of principal amount of the Note in connection with a Major Transaction and shall be the additional share
number set forth on the chart with respect to the “Share Price Result” on the “y” axis and the corresponding “Remaining Note Life” on the “x” axis; provided, however, that to the extent the
actual Share Price Result (as defined below) falls between two data points on the “y” axis and/or the actual date of the Major Transaction falls between two data points on the “x” axis, the “Additional Share
Coefficient” shall be determined by calculating the arithmetic mean between (i) the result obtained for the Share Price Result based on the linear interpolation between the additional share numbers corresponding to the two Share Price
Result data points and (ii) the result obtained for the Remaining Note Life based on the linear interpolation between the two additional share numbers corresponding to the two Remaining Note Life data points; and provided further,
however, that in the event of any adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 2 of this Note, the numbers of additional shares of Common Stock issuable per $1,000 of principal amount of this Note as set forth in the
chart below shall be deemed adjusted pro rata with any adjustment resulting from the adjustment to the Conversion Price that would be made to the number of shares of Common Stock then convertible with respect to $1,000 of principal amount of this
Note as calculated under Section 2 of this Note. For purposes of the chart below, the “Share Price Result” shall be, in the case of a Major Transaction (excluding an Asset Sale) in which holders of Common Stock receive solely
cash consideration in connection with such Major Transaction, the greater of (x) and (y) below and, in the case of all other Major Transactions, shall be solely the amount set forth in (x) below, where (x) is the last closing
sales price per share of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange, or, if that is not the principal trading market for the Common Stock, such principal market on which the Common Stock is traded or listed (the “Closing
Market Price”) immediately prior to the consummation of the Major Transaction and (y) is the cash amount payable per share of Common Stock in such Major Transaction. If the actual Share Price Result is greater than $100 per share
(subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Price as provided in Section 2 of this Note), or if the actual Share Price Result is less than $10 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Conversion Price as
provided in Section 2 of this Note), then the Additional Share Coefficient shall be equal to the amount applicable to $100 and $10, respectively.

favor of Deerfield Private Design Fund III, L.P., Deerfield Partners, L.P. and Deerfield International Master Fund, L.P. (each individually a “Guaranteed Party” and collectively, the “Guaranteed Parties”). 

W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Facility Agreement (the “Facilities Agreement”) dated as of
October 2, 2015 between AAC Holdings, Inc. (the “Borrower”), and the Guaranteed Parties, the Guaranteed Parties have agreed to make Loans to Borrower; 

WHEREAS, Borrower directly or indirectly holds all of the equity interests in Guarantor; 

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Guaranteed Parties to enter into the Facility Agreement and to make the
Loans to Borrower, Guarantors have agreed to guaranty the Obligations (as defined below) in accordance with the terms set forth in this Guaranty, 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantors hereby agree with the Guaranteed Parties as follows: 
 SECTION 1. DEFINED TERMS 

1.1 Definitions 
 (a)
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Facility Agreement. 
 (b) The
following terms shall have the following meanings: 
 “Event of Default” means (i) an “Event of Default” as
such term is defined in the Facility Agreement, or (ii) the failure of any Guarantor to observe the provisions of this Guaranty. 

“Guaranty” means this guaranty, as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time. 

“Obligations” mean the collective reference to all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Guaranteed Parties
under the Facility Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as amended from time to time, respectively (including, without limitation, default interest accruing at the then applicable rate provided in the Facility Agreement and interest accruing at
the then applicable rate after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, relating to Borrower, and post-filing or post-petition interest), whether direct or indirect, absolute
or contingent, due or to become due, or now existing or hereafter incurred, which may arise under, out of, or in connection with, the Facility Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any other document executed and delivered in connection
therewith, in each case whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Guaranteed Parties that are required to be
paid by Borrower pursuant to the terms of any of the foregoing agreements). 







 “Person” shall mean and include an individual, a partnership, a corporation, a
limited liability company, an unincorporated association, a joint venture or other entity or a governmental authority. 
 1.2 Other
Definitional Provisions. 
 The words “hereof,” “herein”, “hereto” and “hereunder” and words of
similar import when used in this Guaranty shall refer to this Guaranty as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guaranty, and Section references are to this Guaranty unless otherwise specified. The meanings given to terms defined
herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms. 
 SECTION 2. GUARANTY 

2.1 Guaranty. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Guaranteed
Parties, the prompt and complete payment and performance by Borrower of the Obligations. 
 2.2 Nature of Guaranty. Each
Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall be unlimited, open and continuous as to the Obligations until the Obligations are paid and performed in full and the Facility Agreement is terminated. Each Guarantor intends to guaranty the
performance and prompt payment of the Obligations when due, whether at maturity or earlier by reason of acceleration or otherwise. Accordingly, no payments made upon the Obligations will discharge or diminish the continuing liability of Guarantors
in connection with any remaining portions of the Obligations which subsequently arise or is thereafter incurred. No payment made by Borrower, or any other Person or received or collected by the Guaranteed Parties from Borrower, or any other Person
by virtue of any action or other proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability
of any Guarantor hereunder and each Guarantor shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than payment and performance in full of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations until the Obligations are paid and performed in full and the
Facility Agreement is terminated. 







 2.3 Duration of Guaranty. This Guaranty will take effect when received by the Guaranteed
Parties without the necessity of any acceptance by the Guaranteed Parties, or any notice to Guarantors, and will continue in full force until the Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied and the Facility Agreement has been terminated and
all other obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty shall have been performed in full. All renewals, extensions, substitutions, and modifications of the Obligations, release of any other guarantor or termination of any other guaranty of the
Obligations shall not affect the liability of Guarantors under this Guaranty. This Guaranty is irrevocable and is binding upon Guarantors and Guarantors’ successors and assigns so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid. 

2.4 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor
by the Guaranteed Parties, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Guaranteed Parties against Borrower or any other guarantor or guaranty or right of offset held by the Guaranteed Parties for the payment of the
Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Borrower or any other guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Guaranteed Parties by
Borrower on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Facility Agreement has been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been
paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Guaranteed Parties in the exact
form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Guaranteed Parties, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Guaranteed Parties may determine. 

2.5 Amendments, Etc. With Respect to The Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any
reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment or performance of any of the Obligations made by the Guaranteed Parties may be rescinded by the Guaranteed Parties and any
of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or guaranty therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended,
amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Guaranteed Parties, and the Facility Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended,
modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Guaranteed Parties may deem advisable from time to time, and any guaranty or right of offset at any time held by the Guaranteed Parties for the payment of the Obligations may be sold,
exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. 
 2.6 Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor hereby waives any and all
notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Guaranteed Parties upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guaranty contained in this
Section 2; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2; and all dealings
between Borrower and Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Guaranteed Parties, on the other 







 
hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted
by law, diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Borrower or Guarantor with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands that the guaranty contained in this Section 2 shall be
construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Facility Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any of the Obligations or any other guaranty
or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Guaranteed Parties, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of actual payment and performance of all Obligations) which may at any time
be available to or be asserted by Borrower or any other Person against the Guaranteed Parties, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to
constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Borrower for the Obligations, or of Guarantors under the guaranty contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance (other than a defense of actual payment and performance of the
Obligations). When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against Guarantors, the Guaranteed Parties may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and
remedies as they may have against Borrower or any other Person or against any other guaranty for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Guaranteed Parties to make any such demand, to pursue such other
rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Borrower or any other Person or to realize upon any such other guaranty or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of Borrowers or any other Person or any such other guaranty or right
of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Guaranteed Parties against any Guarantor.

 The obligations of the Guarantors are principal and independent obligations from the obligations of the parties to the Facility Agreement
and the other Loan Documents or any other agreement. The Guarantors shall not, in order to delay or to avoid the unconditional and immediate performance of its obligations under this Guaranty, invoke any defense or exception relating to or resulting
from any current or future relationships (including legal relationships) nor any contentious or non-contentious claims, between Borrower and the Guaranteed Parties or any other third party, or any other challenge of Borrower or of a third party
(other than a defense of actual payment and performance of the Obligations). 
 2.7 Reinstatement. The guaranty contained in this
Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Guaranteed Parties upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower, Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Obligations, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer
for Borrower, any Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Obligations or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 

2.8 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Guaranteed Parties without set-off or
counterclaim in U.S. dollars at the address set forth in the Facility Agreement and the other Loan Documents or by wire transfer pursuant to instructions provided to Guarantors by the Guaranteed Parties.

to proceed directly or at once against, any Person, including Borrower or any other guarantor. 
 (b) Guarantor’s Rights and
Defenses. Each Guarantor also waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (i) any law that may prevent the Guaranteed Parties from bringing any action, including a claim for deficiency, against any Guarantor, before or after
the commencement or completion of any foreclosure action, either judicially or by exercise of a power of sale, (ii) any election of remedies by the Guaranteed Parties which destroys or otherwise adversely affects any Guarantor’s
subrogation rights or any Guarantor’s rights to proceed against Borrower for reimbursement, including without limitation, any loss of rights any Guarantor may suffer by reason of any law limiting, qualifying, or discharging the Obligations,
(iii) any disability or other defense of Borrower, of any other guarantor, or of any other Person, or by reason of the cessation of Borrower’s liability from any cause whatsoever, other than payment and performance in full of the
Obligations, (iv) any statute of limitations, if at the time any action or other suit brought by the Guaranteed Parties against any Guarantor is commenced there are outstanding Obligations which are not barred by any applicable statute of
limitations, or (v) any defenses given to guarantors at law or in equity other than actual payment and performance of the Obligations. 

(c) No Set-off, Counterclaim, Etc. Each Guarantor further waives and shall not assert or claim at any time any deductions to the amount

 5.2

5.3 Subordination of Debts to Guarantors. The Obligations shall be prior to any claim that any Guarantor may now have or hereafter
acquire against Borrower, whether or not Borrower becomes insolvent. Each Guarantor hereby expressly subordinates to the Obligations any claim any Guarantor may have against Borrower, upon any account whatsoever (including without limitation all
intercompany obligations owing to any Guarantor from Borrower), to any claim that the Guaranteed Parties may now or hereafter have against Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower may make payments on, and each Guarantor may receive
payments with respect to, such claims that represent bona fide claims for money lent to, property transferred to, or services performed for, Borrower in the ordinary course of the business of such Guarantor. In the event of any dissolution, winding
up, liquidation, readjustment, reorganization or similar proceedings, through bankruptcy, by an assignment for the benefit of creditors, by voluntary liquidation, or otherwise, the assets of Borrower applicable to the payment of the claims of both
the Guaranteed Parties and any Guarantor shall be paid to the Guaranteed Parties until payment in full of the Obligations.

pursuant to Section 6.1), be deemed to have waived any right, power or privilege hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Guaranteed Parties, any right,
power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A
waiver by the Guaranteed Parties of any right, power or privilege hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right, power or privilege that the Guaranteed Parties would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights,
powers and privileges hereunder provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights and remedies provided by law. 

6.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification

credit or the account of any Guarantor, or any part thereof, in such amounts as the Guaranteed Parties may elect, against and on account of the Obligations, whether or not the Guaranteed Parties has made any demand for payment and although the
Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. The Guaranteed Parties shall notify Guarantors promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Guaranteed Parties of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice

may have.
