 Section 6.3 Reimbursement of Legal and Other Expenses. If any amount owing to the Lenders under any Financing Document shall be collected through enforcement of this Agreement, any refinancing 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
Financing Document) reasonable attorneys’ and other reasonable fees and expenses incurred in respect of such collection. 
 Section 6.4 Applicable Law and Consent to Non-Exclusive New York Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflicts of
laws principles thereof other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligations Law of such State. 
 (a) Any rights
of the Lenders arising out of or relating to any Financing Document, may, at the option of the Lenders, be enforced by the Lenders in the courts of the United States of America located in the Southern District of the State of New York or in any
other courts having jurisdiction. For the benefit of the Lenders, the Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit or other proceeding arising out of any Financing Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York or
of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York. By the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such action, suit or other
proceeding. Final judgment against the Borrower in any such action, suit or other proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction by suit on the judgment. Nothing contained in any Financing Document shall affect the

such jurisdiction. 
 (b) The Borrower irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection
which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to any Financing Document, brought in the courts of the State of New York or in the United States District Court for the

each case to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted under any applicable laws. 
 Section 6.5 Successor and Assigns. This
Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the Parties, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights under this Agreement or the Obligations without the
prior written consent of the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lender assigns its interest in the Loan or any Financing Document to any Person that could reasonably be deemed a competitor of the Borrower, the agreements evidencing such
assign shall expressly provide that such assignment does not include the rights granted to such Lender pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 5.1(f).

signed by the authorized officer of each Party.

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 Financing 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 

  

 21 








 
Party or on its behalf, and shall continue in force until all amounts payable under the Financing Documents shall have been fully paid in accordance with the
provisions hereof and thereof, and the Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of making the Loan, any Event of Default that may arise by reason of 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 any Disbursement was made hereunder.

 (b) The obligations of the Borrower under Section 2.7 and the obligations of the Borrower and the Lenders under this
Article VI hereof shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loan, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof. 
 Section 6.10 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. 
 Section 6.11 Indemnity. 
 (a) The Parties shall, at all times, indemnify and hold each other 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 cost of defending against such claims), damages, liabilities,
penalties, or other expenses arising out of, or relating to, the Financing Documents, the extension of credit hereunder or the Loan or the use or intended use of the Loan, 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 with jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Loss, and over the Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, and such
other Indemnified Person that had an adequate opportunity to defend its interests, determines that such Loss resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or breach of contract of the Indemnified Person, which determination results in a
final, non-appealable judgment or decision of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction. The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to 

  

 22 








 
any other agreement of any Party under any Financing Document to pay any amount to the Lenders or the Borrower, as applicable, 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. 
 (b) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any of the Parties hereunder, the agreements and the obligations of the
Parties contained in this Section 6.11 shall survive the termination of each other provision hereof and the payment of all amounts payable to the Lenders hereunder. 
 Section 6.12 No Usury. The Financing 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 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 Loan, or if such deemed excessive
interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan, 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 Loan until payment in full so that the deemed rate of interest on account of the Loan is uniform throughout the term thereof. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall
control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement and the Notes. 
 Section 6.13 Further Assurances. From time to
time, the Borrower shall perform any and all acts and execute and deliver to the Lenders such additional documents as may be necessary or as reasonably requested by the Lenders to carry out the purposes of any Financing Document or any or to
preserve and protect the Lenders’ rights as contemplated therein. 
 Section 6.14 Termination. Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.9(b) upon repayment of all outstanding principal of the Loan (together with any other amounts accrued and unpaid under this Agreement), this Agreement shall automatically terminate.
